have you kept it in the end? or tried it with a coil?

Cascade link went over center over compressed rear shock jamb rear tire against seatpost I went over the bars took 3 mechanics to pull it out sent link and frame to cascade for evaluation and they could not find anything wrong except minor bearing wear and they sent all it back said tuff pal we can’t find any fault with our product. Lesson learned Factory engineers design frames best not to try to make a frame travel further than it was designed for! Now I’m stuck with a damaged $4k carbon frame front triangle. I changed Hightower back to Santa Cruz standard link to be safe. I have videos without shock on that I sent to cascade they you can see how link allows head of bolt gouge into frame and jamb

ok...no vice grip or ball peen hammer???...i dunno dude.

Loved my 5010!

What are the disadvantage of the 38 over the 36? Weight and expense? I have an eMTB with a 36 (Grip) and I weigh 210lbs. For most of my riding it feels more than capable but certain trails in Queenstown push it to the limit and it bottoms out. I'm considering upgrading to a Grip2 or getting a 38.

Should I grease the eyelet?

I got the orange ones on my new embt there i need to see whats inside how many spacers according to the fox chart it should be 3 vol spacers in an evol embt fox 38 but im just sinking right down into them but sags not set and psi is only at 100 I'm heavier than you 270 280lbs but never had a fox air fork before i was always riding DH in my day but been off a bike 18 yrs now so everything has changed its going to be like learning to ride a bike again probably 😂

Nice riding! I just ordered one of these, and i'm pretty stoked! Also, as a fellow photographer, kudos for riding with that big camera bag!

Road trip from the North Shore....i'm in

Gloves give you wiiinngs

I just have a doubt about this bike, I know it is carbon fabric, is it resistant in very hard or somewhat rough terrain?

Do a E bike next

Is the Tallboy the 29er version? I have a 2019 5010… yes I love it. Looking for a 29er and am debating between the Tallboy and Hightower.

e bike = soft legs

kind of a big difference going form a 450 to a 600 LB spring. the 450 LB spring seem to be too soft for you if you are going to a 600 Lb spring

Quanto custa

Wow, great riding! 🚵‍♂ The colorway of that Fox 38 fork is absolutely stunning! 😍 Thinking of getting one myself to upgrade from my trusty Lyrik. How do you have your Fox 38 set up? Would love to know your settings for rebound, compression, and air pressure. Keep shredding! 🤘

My 38 is showing up today. I’m 6’1 and 240lbs and ride pretty aggressive. I have the 36 on two of my bikes and have been pretty happy but I’m excited to go to the 38 and see the difference. Thanks for the great content!

little bike, even smaller send

I love my 5010 v4. It's the funnest thing on 2 wheels I've ever ridden!

I bought the same color scheme 2021 for my gf in Medium. My bike was in the shop and I used it for a trail day and it was awesome! So much more nimble and maneuverable than my Stumpy EVO.

Great video. Could you confirm me the size of your Rockshox super deluxe ultimate coil? Is it a 230x60mm or a 230x57.5mm?

Did you change your fork or rear shock?

Hate this kind of posts

Can we get an update???

What a cool upgrade! Fantastic honest review of the Cascade linkage. Love all the details and supporting POV footage.

Nice one👌👍

How do you like the enduro s wheels vs carbon?

Hell yeah... Tahoe rider here too. CC is a great trail

Could you share how many volume spacers did you use?

That trail looks rad! Great video and review. What kind of rear shocks are you running? I’m looking to upgrade to a 38 myself but wondering if I should upgrade rear as well. I currently have a Fox 36 and Fox float DPS and I’m really happy with it. But I’m thinking the bigger the better? Fox float X or X2? 🤙

It’s interesting that at around 14:50 you say that they “feel a lot lighter, especially at speed.” A heavier wheel should actually feel lighter at speed since it acts as a flywheel and has more kinetic energy to keep the wheel spinning using less energy input to maintain that speed. A lighter wheel should feel lighter in the acceleration, since there is less mass to move.

Is it a 27.5 ??

Definitely wouldn’t want to run into one of those 🌵

i feel like a hard tail could do that

Put some toothpaste on your glasses that’ll fix your problem

Bit late but I stripped my bolt because the stupid previous owners drill tightened it

How much does aluminum 26" weigh?

Hey mate, is it medium or large frame?

You must be R.A.T.M fans

2 parts ? Seriously 😑 not subscribing

*Great frame and lightweight. **Latest.Bike** components were well adjusted out of the box. Great entry level bike for light off road use.*

Spent about 3 mintha helping to build this trail

Just bought this bike, I also have an Specialized epic evo, which i love. Thanks for the review.

I'm new to mtb I'm gonna buy the polygon d6 do you know of a better bike for that 1500 price range

How much for cascade link?

I did not enjoy this trail. It didn’t seem made for mountain bikes. It was challenging and technical but I think I like swoopy corners too much for me to be able to enjoy riding this. This trail felt like the north shore of Vancouver but 100% rocks. It was mildly terrifying in the switchbacks that were slow but you had to keep your speed up and tire placement had to be spot on or you had some very real consequences if you made a small mistake. I can see how some people would love this trail but for me it was like going to work but with a LOT of unnecessary anxiety.

is a more progressive bike better for heavier riders? I'm 105 kg and felt like not having enough adjustment range for the rebound. I've had 285 PSI in it so, yea.. it was rather not plush bit really hard

Very helpful

How’s the sizing? I’m typically a medium but the reach seems longer than other bikes I looked at. Thoughts?
