And that's more than a decent professional looking bike review with plenty of details, great filming and audio quality too. Ticket money well spent. Congrats!
You mean to tell me that the orange lowers and gold stanchions on the fork doesn’t make it ride well!?!? It’s always refreshing to hear you tell it how it is Paul, especially when it comes to “top of the line” stock suspension. I always love seeing the bikes you’ve got in the garage and projects you have coming (the custom supreme looks wild). But I have to ask, when is the Antidote DH bike showing up? I’m trying to be patient but that’s a project I cannot wait to see.
Another great detailed review. Look forward to seeing the upgrades. Very curious about the commencal with special link and dropouts as well as the mythical radical plus!
Hej, just found your videos. Love them, very informative, without the marketing BS, that is plaguing the mtb industry. Already joining your competitions :D One question: what do you think is the issue with the disc adapters? I didn't quite understand it. Is it the safety think, or you just don't want additional part? I do think, that 180mm mounts are quite pointless, in this day and age, on mtbs.
Hello. How tall are you? I'm 185 cm, and i don't know if L or XL would be ok for me. I had a 2021 Nomad CC in XL with 485 reach and i loved it. Thank you!
I really like your reviews, but I think you have it wrong here. You are comparing a trail bike with some DH monsters. It would make more sense to evaluate it for it's intended use. It feels like you are comparing a Golf GTI with a Carrera GT3. Nevertheless I am waiting to see how you will improve this. Keep up!
Thanks Dimitri, I wasn't planning to compare them directly. I just mentioned it doesn't handle as well as the other bikes I have here. But I do have an issue with all these different categories and comparing like for like. In my mind an MTB is a mountain bike, and a properly designed one should be able to do 98% of mountain biking from trail rides, to jumps, to enduro and bike park days: the remaining 2% is World Cup level racing in different catergories.
Hi Martin, You've done well with your bike farm it's seems like it will be a 🚜 rad place. I'm big and tall 106kg and 1.92M so 235lbs and 6'3 and recently picked up a 2022 Giant Reign E+ EMTB. It came with a 65mm stem and I was disgusted by it but with its 505mm reach I'm finding it works well, honestly I'm on fire 🔥 and don't want to mess with my setup. My other issue is that I'm full maxed out closed on my rebound on my Zeb RC and Fox X2 high speed rebound. I struggle with high speed hits bumps, jumps bridges anything just sends me to the moon 🌙. Is this just something I need to suck up and hang onto or should I keep searching for a suspension cure?
Cheers Ryan! For your suspension, I can’t say exactly but would definitely be worth getting it to a reputable tuner for work. At 106kg you could be out of the working range of the units. Something like 70-90kg is where they will work best. If it’s ‘sending you to the moon’ I guess it’s bucking you on jumps. You can solve this with more compression damping. Sounds counter intuitive but if you slow down the compressing speed the rebound will be less aggressive. Speak to a tuner first, they should be able to tell you what will be possible and try a 50mm stem!
i have the Radon Render 9.0 with 750W battery..... Love the bike.

Excellent. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.
I love your videos. Super entertaining and interesting. Btw: What markers did you use on the Norco?

Awesome video! Audio is just way too quiet, but that's a small thing. 👍🏻
Thanks I saw this so now the next one will be louder 👍 but not too loud 😅
@@Ben_Captures The next one was perfect 👌🏻
Thanks for the note. Glad we solved it ✌️

Usual great video, looking forward to part 3!

What is the current sales price of this bike and from which site can I order it?

You said to check your blog for geometry but I can't see anything

technical!
So you tell me that a fox factory kashima coated 36 is pathetic. You must be a pro who needs proper material …😂 come on….
Please stop calling them "acoustic" bikes
Yup they're just normal bikes
