KPBC @ Rosedale
This is across country route I’ve always wanted to do, the ‘Rosedale round’ as its sometimes known as. Basically, it’s an old Iron mine dismantled railway route around the Rosedale Valley in North Yorkshire, fairly flat, family friendly and if your lucky to catch them open for business, a few tea rooms and pubs to add the cherry on top of the cake! This particular route starts from Lastingham (Near Pickering) and ascends on the moors, eventually dropping down to Rosedale village, whereby it picks up the old railway track. Once you’ve done the valley round, you climb back on to the moors top and descend back to the start by way of Lastingham ridge, a fast and flat moors trail.
Thoroughly loved this route, although make sure you take time out to enjoy the scenery on the way, don’t bomb it like I did!

This is a sneak peek at an old trail we found whilst on a search & destroy mission on Wolds near Staxton / Scarborough. We spent a hour clearing it up before filming this short ride. Great trail with a bigger bottom section that we did not ride as it needed a good sweep first. Unfortunately, unknown to us, we were stopped by the local farmer and told the land was privately owned and were asked ...
KPBC @ Bridestones (Dalby)

This was a small ride (approx 10 miles) cross country around the Dalby Forest area, to go find the Bridestones and see if there was anything interesting to ride along the way, or at the stones. Unfortunately, it had rained hard the days before so it ended up being a soggy affair! But, the ride did highlight some potentially good trails (Needle point ridge) which I will have to check out when we...

Revisiting some old trails we had some involvement in building a couple of years ago, just to see how they had faired since we were last there. Wykeham has a history of having some good MTB down hill trails, built by local lads, but what is also popular in that area is Motor Cross riding. Everyone has their own opinion on this but one thing we saw that is frustrating, was seeing these trails pu...

NEW SUBSCRIBER !!! Fantastic ride , fantastic trail and a fantastic music intro !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍Whats the name of the music intro bro? i would like to download it.Classic rock tune !!!
Hey thanks dude for subscribing & supporting the channel 👍 Really do appreciate the comment on the tune too, as we wrote & played the music ourselves! Unfortunately not available to download though because of that!
Hi, any chance you could let me know on a map 🗺️ where about’s in wykham woods this is? I’ve been stopping at St Helens in the Park for years never took our bikes 🚲 but tomorrow we are… and would love to know some routes up there! 👍
It’s difficult to describe… hope this helps: GPS Coordinates: 54.287168479948235,-0.5534633632658768 This is a view point in Wykeham. Park there. Then follow the main path down the embankment from there, you can’t miss it. About 30m down it on your RHS is the start of what we call ‘Sharon Stone’. This gets you in the right area! Everything else is either below this trail of off to the left / right. Unfortunately last time we were there, the Motor Cross twats had chewed up a lot of it. They are good at that, being twats!
If you go up the hills facing Ampleforth school there's some good black trails,and its not as boggy
Thanks mate. Yeah we’re definitely going back there so will scout those other trails out 👍
Great vid. Thanks for uploading. How you doing with distance/hours/elevation on a full battery? I`m surrounded by hills of up to 1000m and don't want to get caught out. Thanks in advance.
Difficult to say really. I typically do local bike park trails and off piste, so a fair bit of climbing but not exactly mountainous! I probably average about 20 miles for 40-50% battery consumption? That’s a mixture of mainly Tour+ and EMTB modes. Hope that helps
Thanks a mill. @@kpbikeclub1318
Why would you ride the blue before it's finished... Not fair on the people who put all the time and effort in, especially as most of them are volunteers.
To be fair, it had been ridden by others before us (could see the tyre marks) and we would not have ridden it had it been partially finished, we spoke to one of the Forest staff there and he said that it was ready and actually now needs some experienced riders on it to pack it in, they just didn’t want inexperienced riders on it who might ride over the edges etc. Of course we appreciate the hard work that’s gone into it, the build guys have done an amazing job!
Must be mad this time a year 😄 I've walked this with the missus but not been on the Ebike up the cinder track and Cleveland way, certainly made for entertaining viewing however 😄
We didn’t expect it to be as muddy as it was, especially on Cleveland way, but certainly won’t be doing that again! Glad it was entertaining to watch 😉
Overall, it's a boring ride.
Mint day lads Roll on september
What i find so annoying is I've never had an ebike I've ordered my first the cube same as yours but not a clue on how they work and there is no video's actually showing how these work with the motor's its like you should know haha! I have seen one 10 second video of the chain ring doing a quarter turn on its own so that's all I know maybe you could make a video showing the way they actually work im sure it'll be more than just me looking for this type of video! It would be great to see how they work exactly I've had to actually buy one to find out crazy lol
Hi sorry for the delayed response. It’s an interesting point you make! As you say, not everyone understands how an electric motor works, and some can feel quite different to others. All I can say is, you have to ride one to find out! I started by hiring an e-bike and doing a demo day by Trek on the full power motor vs the super light motor to gauge the difference for myself. So glad I did as I was adamant I wanted the SL but after the demo I realised it wasn’t for me. I just wish the big brands did more demo day’s especially in a wider range across the country as they always seem to focus on the same areas that are not always easily accessible by everyone.
Hi there I've be trying to ask a couple questions on the cube action team 160 you got i ordered mine yesterday just wondering does it come with peddles and are they rubbish or not to bad? And the grips i will be changing don't like orange but the bikes so well specked for the price be nice if they gave an option of the black or orange 38 forks! the reviews have been good to watch happy new year
Hi! Sorry for the delay in responding. The peddles it comes with are naff and you should replace them with what is your preferred peddles. It’s not usually expensive to do that. The contact points between you and your bike are very important! (Grips and peddles). I wasn’t a fan of the orange fox forks at first but they are actually really nice in the flesh. The colour doesn’t bother me now at all, really like them as they are not the norm.
I was pretty much set on going to get one them saw that dredded word i totally avoid like the plague "Carbon frame" no thanks not for me after seeing the shortcuts made to make them lighter no wonder they snap so easy now
I have two carbon frame bikes, one a Santa Cruz Nomad and a Cube Ebike. Both of which I’ve never had an issue with. I suppose if you were a rider who sends it large, big jumps, fast enduro DH etc, then maybe that’s a concern, especially if you were to crash it, but for my style and intermediate level of riding, that’s probably not going to be something I need to worry about. These bikes are pretty robust, it would likely be me who breaks first! 😉
I’ve got a cube ebike fella. If I’m going down hill and not peddling I get no resistance..it flies. Touch 40 down a decent hill. Bought it at beginning of lockdown. Best thing ever. Makes hills a pleasure 😊😊
Love mine too (Cube stereo hybrid 160)! No complaints whatsoever
So my question is what do I have to do to join the KP bike club? Seriously!! I'm a relatively new rider, pretty crap with a lot to learn but eager to improve and judging by the places that you ride we can't live too far away from each other.
Hey! Sorry for late response. Whereabouts you from? Find us on Facebook as messages a bit easier to see and respond to via there. Can certainly meet up and enjoy the ride!
Full credit for ploughing through. Well done! Looking forward to more footage.
Nice video. What light are you using?
Hi, on the E-bike I have a 3300 LUMENS CREE Bike Light from Chilli Technology: www.chilli-tech.com/3300-Lumens-Bike-Light Fantastic bit of kit and half the price of the equivalent lights by leading brands like Exposure. Although I do use an Exposure Diablo on helmet which is pretty darn good too. Only issue is, can only get a couple of hours from the helmet light on full blast, so since I got the Cree for the handlebars, I can dim both down one setting and get much more time from them.
Got the last one in Evans Nottingham a week ago for half price. Only been out a couple of times but it’s brilliant and turbo makes me laugh every time 🤣
It’s such a buzz! 😂
How's cube compared to trek rail?
I prefer it in most ways apart from I wish I had a 29” wheel up front but it’s not a regret, more an opportunity to make it a smidge better. The cube is a lot cheaper to buy too 🙂
@@kpbikeclub1318I have the same bike changed whole new front end to a mullet setup and what a difference it makes grip2 damper 29er up front is definitely the way to go good luck One thing get rid of that plastic top cap they are garbage
Greetings,.Great bikes, I bought the same one three months ago in Croatia for €6,000, there was some kind of sale on that model for €1,000, only I got mine with a black fork, not orange, really interesting, the only thing that doesn't suit me is the seat, these days I ordered a new one, wider for longer drives, because the original one is horrible, after 40 km on it, I can no longer sit on my bum because of the pain,(normally I drive about 70 km per day with only 50% battery in the mountains, I only use trail mode over 90% 🤪) and another thing that annoys me is that it is limited to 25 km max, because after that the engine provides resistance that is not very pleasant ,Since I have a lot of fitness, I want to ride that bike faster than 30 km without engine resistance, and as far as I can see, I will have to put some chip in it that is not legal 😮
I highly recommend the Nukeproof seat on mine, very comfortable and not a massive ugly thing! Only cost about £35 too.
Excellent video , where are these found is there a trail map ?
Thanks! Most of the Dalby OP trails are marked on Strava, the 1st & last trails on the video are nearer Allerston, the edge of Dalby.
@@kpbikeclub1318 thanks will have a look ,
Great video as always
Brilliant. How u finding the 27.5 wheels would u still choose them over 29 ?
In all honesty, I can barely tell the difference. I’ve been riding 29 up front for years and was in two minds that this was the right choice with 27.5 on this bike, but I think because the tyre is so wide and there’s plenty of weight and the bike is well planted as a result, I don’t think it matters. I’d heard some reviews saying the front end was twitchy, but I’ve not experienced that at all. It ploughs through roots and rocks with no issues at all 👍🏻
Either you have some killer audio settings or the motor is very quiet!
Tbh, not messed with either, must be a fluke! 😆
Got same bike being delivered tomorrow, same seat as well horizon haha. looks good man!
You won’t be disappointed, enjoy!!
@@kpbikeclub1318 had to lower the stack height, probably going to have to shorten the bars and have a horrible battery rattle haha!

My Crash Haha Great day out lad thank you
Thank you for this . Ive been looking at both and your riding experience and footage helped answer a few questions .
Great video can't wait to come out with you guys again
How tall are you because if that’s you on it then I want to know how I will look on it
5ft 9”
Great content guys Was nice to meet you the other week in bluebell whilst we was starting to build the track up..
What is your height and you mentioned this was Medium size. I am 5’11” (180cms) and considering M size. Your suggestion would be helpful. Thanks
5ft 9”
I'm the same height as you, gone with a Large Rail 7 Gen 3, fits great.
Did exactly the same and hired one with a couple of mates... Can quite honestly say it's the most fun i've had going around there. Loved every climb which is a new experience for there. Mulled it over for a few days after and we all ended up buying one, went for the rail 9 GX gen 2.. just waiting on delivery then I'll be back up there to go again! Reinvigorated mountain biking for me, don't know what I was messing around at, Should have got one ages ago!
Nice one, lucky bugger! Enjoy! 🙂
The restriction really does interfere on the trails though, I tried a NLS speedi and it's totally different feeling Like how the bike was supposed to ride imo
No offence but I think a bit of upper body strength work is in order man?? Just because you said the exe was heavy and how you struggled with jumping on the rail Edit to add-I really should watch full videos before commenting 😂. Great comparison and I'm glad i got the rail now, was going to wait for an exe but Im not sure I'd like it now
I rode the EXE and rail 7 again a few weeks ago at another Trek demo day and it was very apparent this time around, how much better I found the Rail and how unimpressive the EXE was this time. I found the EXE sluggish, like it was dragging? It just made my choices a lot smaller! Full fat EMTB is the only option!
@@kpbikeclub1318 I'm still intrigued, I might try the exe an the local trek shop I think I saw one last time I was in The rail really is a lot of fun isn't it, one thing I would say though I've had a motor swap at 1200 miles, they didn't charge me and it took about a week so no complaints really
Great video, mate! i have been thinking about the Fuel EXe and one question that came into my mind just now is about the motor activation speed when going through rough terrain and rocky/exposed roots tech areas up hill. How does it activate? There are moments when you let the bike roll and suddenly you need the max traction to climb things. How is it efficiency on such moments? Thanks
That's interesting. For the type of riding I do, I think you have me convinced to go with the Fuel EXe. Thanks for the video.
The thing is, you can always a turn the rail down to eco You can't turn the exe up any more!
@@Lee-ic2yn I did end up going with the EXe and I'm very happy with it. I ride it in the middle setting for the most part.
@@josaxtvc ahh nice man! Im sure they're both great I didn't have the patience to wait to try the exe just bought the rail because it was right there 🤣
@@Lee-ic2yn It was a tough decision :) The Rail was pretty sweet too.
Where is this trail? Near Pickering?
Yeah, it’s from Allerston village, near Pickering. Turn up the side of the Cayley Arms, ride to the top (nice road climb)and the trail runs back down on the right, adjacent to the road coming back on yourself! 👍
@@kpbikeclub1318 thanks bud. Not sure if you’ve been but there’s nice runs Hamilton Hill near sunnyside cafe market rason.
No mate, not been there! Didn’t know there was owt that way, so thanks for the heads up, we’ll check it out 👍
That was mega with Allerston full run to finish 😄🤘
Great run that guys!👍
Cool vid! Spend a few days your way in November and had a couple of trips into raincliffe. Some silly fun steep stuff in there! Shame I didn’t have time to explore more of the area, looks good.
88kg 61 years old, tired of Rail weight.... always riding in Tour.... can I move to fuel exe for rides of 25km 1200m+ 3hours?
Great vid guys. Heading up your way in a week or two and been looking at trails round Scarborough. Few I recognise, few i don't. Don't suppose you have Strava, screen shot etc. I'll look forward to more of the vids 🤘😎
Hi fantastic video 👍 do you have this route to share by strava, Komoot Thanks
I’ve added this In the description 👍🏻
Great memories, I went in the summer of 2022. I'm planning on a return visit in the next few months, I'm presuming it'll be in similar conditions. You sounded just like me when you went down the Narly Rocky Red Route bit. 🤣 I loved the whole of the journey But, then again I was on my Ebike. You're right about the Climbs on the Return, but don't let it put you off guys. I really enjoyed watching your ride, "Keep Up the Cadence" 👍
Definitely got plans to go back this summer although mainly to check out the off piste stuff again near the glider base area. (A few minutes ride from the Sutton bank car park) If you haven’t been, stick that on your must do list! 🙂
@@kpbikeclub1318 cheers for that, more Rides the merrier 👍
I didn't see you use turbo once , should have give it a try it's addictive ! Yep they're expensive but bloody hell they're fun 😂
To be honest, I didn’t feel like I needed it as the EMTB mode was great at giving you just the right amount of power assist. Plus, the guy in the bike shop warned me that in Turbo mode, my battery would drop faster than Katie Prices drawers!!
Excellent video thank you for your patience in the testing and honesty about power delivery. Anyway iv got on order as of today now my fuel exe 9.7 (was to be a 9.5 but that keeps being pushed back with delays so my dealer negotiated a good discount on next model up ) The next question will be do I keep my Merida E160 as well ????
It is a good section but it’s too short !! Would be quite easy to extend it down the hill !
You need to tie 26 & 27 together and keep on the gas to make it feel like a full section👍🏻
I was chuckling away at that, starts with a big ciggie and finishes with acid beats. Legendary!
Think I need to revisit dalby Been a while was summer when I last went
Nice video..there is for the exe an battery extender of 160 watts available but like you said... the best thing to compare the bikes is to ride them..
Thanks Jo! In an ideal world, I would be able to afford both as they are two very different rides! Both have their pros and cons 👍🏻
@@kpbikeclub1318 i like the ideal world 👍😎
A mate messaged me yesterday to say he had bought the Fuel EXe and I told him that if he’d been riding Mountain Bikes for the past 2+ years, I would say that’s a great purchase. But he and I have been riding motorcycles and we’re only getting into MTB now, in our 40’s. So my advice, was to rather go for the Rail. I told him that even with my 85Nm on my Powerfly FS 5, I have struggled up some really steep inclines out in my forest rides. For a new rider, the Rail is a must, but for a fit Mountain Biker sure, go for the Fuel and you’ll be super happy. He called the shop and changed his purchase to the Rail 7 😊👍🏼
