Was hoping to see the exie as well as the cervelo zfs-5 as I’m debating between those two but excited to hear about your reviews nonetheless! The Mach 4 SL is on my list too
Mo truly is a man of the people!!! Everytime I see cannondale all I can think of are Lefty's! Fun video as a XC rider glad to see some love for the bikes
Mo, the fact that you got the CEOs and other high ranking executives from excellent bike brands to participate is legitimate! They must respect your opinion or they would not waste their time. Get job. I loved hearing what they had to say! I am a new subscriber based on this effort.
I know it's a hard task to get any bikes to test. But I would like to see more xc bikes in the shootout. I'm interested I'm seeing how you guys rate the bikes. Keep doing what you do 👍.
If I was going to pick, the Spur would be my top choice follow closely by the Epic 8. My budget pick would be the Chisel FS which isn't being tested here. The Rocky Mountain Element would also make the list if it came with a 120mm fork.
IIRC “down country” didn’t start as marketing jargon. The term was coined by Mike Levy as a sort of joke about mountain bike marketing and overly specific market segmentation. Thanks for the review.
I've been watching you guys for years! Now that you married each other, I am hoping you guys have a child! Easy there Mo! Breathe! Just breathe! It will be alright! I promise! Think about the adventure of raising a child to be as awesome as the both of you! 😃
Just researched it. These are factory workers employed by a supplier which made apparel for Specialized and six other companies. It's as if a customer is responsible for unpaid wages of a shop they bought sth from.
Cool that you've tested F-Podium. There are basically no reviews of this bike, and literally no comparisons. Kudos guys!
More to come! Thank you!!!
Looking forward to thoughts on the flex-stay system - less pivots seems great!
Hell yea that’s awesome 👏🏼 what a lineup and let’s keep these types alive for all the bikes and the ages
Thank you!!!
What a banger of an intro. Well done : )

Such fun bikes!!!!!

Thank you so much and glad you like it!!!
Exactly what I was looking for.
This is going to be good!! Haven’t seen anyone else lining them all up!
Can’t wait to hear more!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the bc40.
Wow, what a line up of bikes!!
What a great series this will be!
This is going to be fascinating, can't wait to see how they stack up against each other and ride differently.
Hope you enjoy!!! First review drops tomorrow!
@@moandhannahtravel Stoked!
Trek Top Fuel and Santa Cruz Blur are missing.
We didn’t get the opportunity! Hopefully next time! 🙌
Trek Top Fuel lol
Top fuel is a trail bike in reality.
I agree it's hard to imagine the Blur and Top Fuel not being on this test.
Getting our popcorn ready!🍿
Getting the popcorn this will be epic
Yewww!!
would love to see you guys test an Evil Offering!
Ive always dreamed of Mo in Lycra. The internet may want Hannah in lycra, but im here for Mo clipped in while wearing body carressing lycra. 😂
😂😂

We will try our best to do more! 7 bikes was a lot to undertake but maybe we can do a round 2?

So many good options!!!!
Been waiting for this one!
Thanks!!
Awesome riding, what trail is that looks pretty challenging
5oaks!
Top Fuel needs to be here! May 24 Supercal 9.9 XO is the fastest, best Handling and a stiff rear end! Love it for XC! 🤙🏻
Next time!
Where is the Kent Trouvaille?
Surprised Ibis didn't provide an Exie for demo
We tried! Unfortunately the didn’t have MO’s size
I’m on a Mondraker F-Podium DC R. Love it
Such a good bike!!!
Looking forward to this🙌🏻
Thank you!! Hope you like it!!!
Will be surprised if anything can touch the Specialized as an XC race bike but will be interested in who closely compares.
Mine would be the Mondraker and the Scalpel (but with 120mm lefty)
Fun bikes!!!
Wish the Cervelo ZFS-5 or Blur was in this. I have the Mach 4 SL, Exie, and the ZFS-5 and I think the Cervelo is the best all around and lightest.
Cervelo would be awesome!
How does ibis exie compare
I just got cannodale scalpel se 2 xc trail bike brand new for about 2200$ bike is so nice 👍
Such a fun one!!!
On any given XC ride at least 2/3rd of the time is spent climbing. My pick is the Trek Supercaliber.
Hope to test that one out soon!! 🙌
The best DC bike ARC8 Evolve FS is missing :) but nice overview :)
Hey Mo.. Why do you look like that legendary mtb xc rider/racer? I believe his name is Tinker Juarez.. ???🤣
Thanks for sharing man
spot ryve 115 gen 2
Santa Cruz blur?
Next time!

Gee , and I thought they were just beefed up, errh heavier cross country bikes
Get it ,,, Lets go !
🙌🙏
Glad you're not tied to one brand anymore
So much fun!!!
No Scott Spark???
I'm sure you know, Mike Levy of Pink Bike coined the term downcountry.
He’s awesome!!
Actually that's not true he said one of his friends did in a podcast.
Mo talks faster than those bikes. I’m exhausted.
😂😂
How is there no Trek on the test?
We didn’t have any contacts with Trek and we already had 7 bikes! Hopefully in the future!! 🙌🤪
Everyone’s thoughts on the Canyon Lux
Commenting for the algorithm
love my Mach4sl it is so good
It’s an awesome bike!!! 👏
Blur?
Intense Sniper and Sniper T
I've been watching you guys for years!
Now that you married each other, I am hoping you guys have a child!
Easy there Mo! Breathe! Just breathe! It will be alright! I promise!
Think about the adventure of raising a child to be as awesome as the both of you! 😃
😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌
Bc40????
Next time!
Orbea Bmc
Maby some xc hardtails
Wonderful world greetings to you
Surprised Trek didn't make the list...
Hopefully next time!
i would never amagine seeing a guys with a wig, smashing that bikes soo hard :P
SC Tallboy?!?
Hopefully we can do it next time! We were pretty maxed out with 7 bike haha!! 😂🙌
Wheres canyon.
Hopefully next time!! We were maxed out with space and time!
Direct to consumer sux
God bless
😮
Specialized should get ZERO publicity until they pay their factory workers the back pay they are owed
Just researched it. These are factory workers employed by a supplier which made apparel for Specialized and six other companies. It's as if a customer is responsible for unpaid wages of a shop they bought sth from.
Way to be so reductive that the actual details of the issue get buried under your default outrage.
Where the jelly is Scott???
Hopefully next time! We were maxed out with 7 bikes!
Blah Blah Blah, where's Hannah? 😇
Pro Bike Supply has horrible customer service.
