Haha 100% accurate

Big wood felt pretty natural. Makes sense it started as an unsanctioned one! Yeah MLF is solid

There’s an argument there for sure. I just love having optional features that are one grade above the tail difficulty, especially on single black trails. Sometimes I want to do them to spice things up, other times I’m content to chill 👍🏼

Dang that’s a ton!

They’re the big 3! If you had to choose between SFDH or L&F, which you choosing for all day laps?

Thanks!

Sky and his jumps! You hit maverick yet?

Ooof too hard right now haha but I am going to give a top 10 trails of 2024 at the end of the year

Lol, it was a very broad question. I was meaning more in what you’ve ridden. Looking forward to the top 10!

My deviate Highlander is that bike 🫡

Yeah I wouldn’t have been able to afford it at full price lol

North Slope at Capitol state forest near Olympia, WA 👍🏼

Thank you! North Slope is the best 👍🏼

I like the idea of 70nm torque motor! The slash+ has been great but it is noticeably less powerful than my 85nm EP8 on the timp peak. Give it another two years and I bet technology will be there!

@@MTB_Corbin 💯 to that. Yes the DJI AMFlow has the full torque/juice and the lighter weight but not the geo/kinematics for enduro. But if Trek considered the compact ZF-90 motor for the Slash+PNW...they would absolutely crush it.👊

Oof yeah cost is the biggest barrier. I get all the R&D that goes into but still the prices are substantial when there are other options that fulfill similar things at a much less price point

thanks! here's my camera setup th-cam.com/video/Kd9BV-j4xbs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=knuZ2i4t3TG6trJM

Thanks ✌️

Have you swapped your tires? I put on a used assegai for the front and kryptotal for the rear. Might try a Magic Mary up front though!

Yeah man the fuel exe is a great bike but it does leave some things to be desired. The slash is much more capable in literally every category I can think of. If you have the range extender for the fuel now then that same one will also work with the slash+!

Thanks Mitch! I think the next couple years are going to be amazing with ebike upgrades. We just saw the DJI motor come out and will probably see more innovations: less weight, more power, more battery. That's the name of the game lol

For sure! I've really been enjoying it, but I'm not sure if I would have "buyers remorse" if I paid $12k. I do like how it's similar to the analog version, makes it easy to switch from acoustic to electric without changing a ton of feel! Buuut I love my highlander 150 too much to change lol

I got a 500 mile review up! th-cam.com/video/OHBYopMQrRA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jG5yoD1b2liodNF0 Also had a good amount of creaking so here's a vid after the LBS fixed it lol th-cam.com/video/p3h9y-2vYwA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qPCYV7BaqjIL0jQn TLDR: the Timp Peak is sick. It's a super solid full powered bike.

I'm still too new to really understand a ton of geo differences (only been mountain biking for a little over two years so only used to slack HTs). I can say at 5'10 and trying a ton of bikes the past two years, this actually felt a lot better than I was expecting it to.

At 5'11 a 475 reach, even on a slacked out enduro rig, is my preferred reach, I'll ride anything from 465 to 485, but I'd rather go smaller than bigger. I think this is way more of a preference thing than an absolute.

Congrats on new bike day! I'm still getting the vivid dialed in. I was bottoming it out a ton at first and don't like just increasing air pressure. I added a few clicks of hydraulic bottom out and turned the HS compression up. Feels better but suspension is a very personal feel... hard to give tips on setup when riding styles, tracks, weights, etc could be different

It's definitely smaller. Timp peak weighed 55lbs vs 46 for the slash+ haha. That's a significant difference. Granted the TP has an 85nm torque motor while Slash+ has 50. They feel very different to ride

@@MTB_Corbin ahh, ok yeah 10lbs is big difference....but as far as travel and maneuverability...seems same on paper. It's too bad that the Dji Amflow isn't available in the USA...that bike looks sick.

Travel is the same but it's also significantly easier to move around. I've got 4 rides on it since posting the video and seriously feels like a traditional bike compared to the timp peak. I might make a full on comparison video but don't want to ride the TP again since it's all sparkly ready to sell haha

Plenty of North Slope content on this channel! I got 6800ft. Parked at bottom of Bones and did the following: Mr. bones, Slick Jimmy, DNR, Scoby, Low Key.

The timp peak felt pretty good at north slope! I liked mine and had dual assegai. I've gotten a few recs to try the Schwalbe's. I've got a 29r magic marry in the closet that I might throw on the front when the assegai dies. Have you tried it in the front or only rear?

@@MTB_Corbin the Magic Mary on the rear only for now, still the assegai up front. For NS, especially if there’s some mud, the MM felt much better than the DHR and the assegai holds onto the mud too much, while magic mary seems good at ejecting it. When the maxxis dies I will try the new radial tires.

oof yeah the cap forest mud is a monster to deal with lol

It's definitely coming alive the more time I have on it! Wouldn't keep up with your levo though haha

haha thank you! Galbraith as a backyard is a caaraaazy cool spot!

hahaha I guess so! My favorite quote from Brandon Sanderson: "Sometimes a hypocrite is just a man in the process of changing"

hope you enjoy your Slash as much as I love my Relay ! 😊

thank you! how many miles you got on the relay?

1200 and absolutely zero issues so far 🤞 motor is perfect and dead silent !

Thanks man! I've been enjoying it a ton recently.

The lever is definitely heavier than my XTs on the Highlander... but I really don't mind it given how much power they have. I haven't had any hand fatigue yet, but I only have about 4 rides with them. Also really enjoyed your look into Lewis brakes, excited to hear how they actually perform on trail!

True and honestly I'm not sure I'm good enough to care about the nuances as much as I'd like to admit. The XTs on the highlander feel great and have a quicker bite; however, the Mavens are more powerful and I've spent most of my biking career on the Code RSCs so my riding really progressed with the ability to modulate with Srams feel... Time will tell where my preference goes for them since my two main bikes (highlander 150 with XTs and Slash+ with Mavens) have pretty different brakes. At least they both now use mineral oil to bleed lol

I never get lever fatigue thanks to my daily index finger workout regimen.

@@sasquatchmtb haha the dream

🤣that's like me trying to pronounce Schwalbe

hahaha gotta give the people something to comment about ;)

It's really hard to beat a Pilsner and Pizza post ride lol

This the real question

115%, made the same comment in full review

Where are you buying your maxxis tires from? I’m having a hard time finding em

Good tip! currently got an (oldish) assegai I had on an unused wheelset and threw on a Conti Kryptotal in the rear to try

@@JaredHerdlevar I bought mine from the lost co

Yeah that's the only way it works with the chin mount
