Yeah the Bizango should cope with the red and blue absolutely fine.
Something downcountry for the peak is definitely a good way to go. I take my endurobike around the peak and it is great on the downhills but not so good on the uphills. A capable trail bike/ downcountry would be much better (the canyon lux looks like a decent bike too). I have been looking at Canyon recently too.

And the cakes in the trail centre at the end make those uphills seem alot more tolerable at the end 😂

Went to llandegla for the first time a few weeks ago and going back tomorrow. We’d done no research but were really pleasantly surprised with the trail centre, and with the trails. The skills areas and all the wood features are awesome. There’s also a really nice stone slab trail across the open plains which was great fun, its a slight downhill so you don’t have to pedal at all one way, it’s just past the weird chicken shrine on the red climb.

[@bikeandbeyond]

Yeah, I definitely need to check it out.

[@Schwimano]

Awesome video again dude! Gotta go and ride here.

[@bikeandbeyond]

Cheers dude. It was great fun.

[@chriswood5966]

I love llandegla and ride it regularly as it's my nearest trail centre.

[@bikeandbeyond]

Yeah it is great. I was there at the weekend. I am also editing another Llandegla based video for the channel as we speak.

Hey Ollie, great vid. Thinking of heading over there from the Peaks, running a 2018 Bizango like your old one, think it will handle the trails well? I'm fairly confident on a bike and the trails look pretty flowy? Also, any 2024 thoughts on sub £2500 FS bikes? I can't decide being in the peaks if a downcountry bike like a Canyon Lux Trail will be best as although I tackle stuff like Jacobs Ladder etc and it's short travel, there is so much climbing around here so all my rides end up being hill fests. What are modern FS trail bikes like to climb on?

[@connormorgon-shaw8445]

We're heading there for the first time next weekend. The new red section they put in, does it go from the blue onto the red or is it the other way round? Hard to tell from the maps

[@bikeandbeyond]

Yeah it goes from the blue to the red. Joins the red at the half way point. Enjoy your ride.
