I've built two, for me and my daughter. '23 Commencal FRS with Rock Shox Zeb. 190/200 travel, carbon wheels, mine is 32lbs and my daughter's is 28. The geo isn't ideal for pedalling uphill, but both bikes have 12 speed cassettes and weigh less than most enduro bikes making pedalling tolerable.
@@ottokejser3783 yo if that's the case than I inadvertently and "technically" made one of these "downduro" bikes myself Now when I say technically, I mean my bike is a _VERY_ low end enduro bike (a $750 K2 attack from 2007 that I bought used from the second hand store I work at for $40). It only has 100mm of travel, 26 inch tires and is overall a very small bike (and I am SCHMOL, like I'm sure I stopped growing after 15 years old) But I got it bc I wanted a bike for commuting I did swap out the fork as it had fuck all for dampening (it literally had no dampening built into it) Found some cheapo dual crown air fork on amazon bc honestly I'm broke as shit, and it was lighter then the original coil fork And yeah, that's my story
I have an x01 axs dh. Use the first 7 gears of a sram nx 12s cassette and the back spacer of a gx dh cassette with a 12s sram chain. It doesn’t shift even half as good with a gx dh cassette and you still get the gears.
The INTENSE Factory Racing DH team uses Lewis brakes on the World Cup circuit.... I recommend checking out the Dale Stone TH-cam channel for quality brake reviews if you haven't already 👍
Sick Build my dude! The amount of words that were hard to pronounce lol, thats wgat being a TH-camr is i guess. When are you going to Garrods place? we could maybe colab
you did not mention what cassette did you use in the rear? was the traditional DH cassette or the Enduro eagle 12 speed? if so, you should give some hints on how was pedaling uphill
SRAM DH 7 speed cassettes utilize an 11 speed chain spacing. With this setup, the 12 speed AXS derailleur will continue to shift past the cassettes range making it not really compatible. Unless programmed by sram, Electric DH shifting is not optimal because it’s not meant to work. This is most likely why he swapped to single speed afterwards. I know this because I have also Jerry rigged DH AXS.
Not another stupid buzzword term for a dumb subcategory of bikes. Downcountry, Parkduro, and super enduro are already enough for the useless terms. There are 5 real categories: Cross country/XC, Trail, Enduro, Freeride, Downhill. All Mountain is just a slightly heavier duty subcategory of trail bikes just below enduro, so its just a trail bike in my view. Freeride is distinct from enduro and DH because freeride bikes are oriented towards having fun in the park and doing tricks, while DH and enduro bikes are for racing.
First time ever hearing about a downduro bike.
Is this a park bike that you could theoretically pedal uphill but won't😂
Sick bild thou.
Pretty sure its just a fancier term for enduro bike with a dual crown fork

Such a clean build🔥
Thanks bro!
Such a clean build man!🤘
Appreciate it!🤘
super sick
i would prefer dh frame and enduro parts, as fork zeb would be perfect

That Sherpa frame is sick dude, hope to see a long term follow up video on this rig 🤙 SUBSCRIBED
Thanks man! Been running my other Sherpa of almost 2 years and it’s bullet proof!
Yes Hayden sick bike
Yoooo, Thansk
There is a way fun line off momo where you stay high at the rock garden (aim for the bush) and then double drop... so good!
Haha, know that trail like the back of my hand.
nice bike
Just a quick suggestion point the camera forward a little more when your going down hill😊
will do!
So sickkkk 🤙🤙🤙
I always tie my shoestrings with an extra over/under to shorten em to little stubs. I only had to experience getting my shoestring hung up once.
Ha, probably need to start this strategy
i thought bro died.
Huh?!.
You should have got trip DH evo brakes in gold
Lewis on top
sick
9:53 Evans MTB Saga tests these brakes in a video and says that they do not really do a good job, despite all the money.

@@trillbill9378 thanks:D
The gold decals look sick, but think it woulda looked cleaner without, that’s my opinion tho, do what you want, after all it’s your bike lol
Anb give me weird looks for this idea back n 2018. Leave it to Matt to try it lol right on gents
Sick Build my dude! The amount of words that were hard to pronounce lol, thats wgat being a TH-camr is i guess.
When are you going to Garrods place? we could maybe colab
Not sure when I’ll make it back out to Jarrod’s.
Should have used ohlins they are sooo much better then fox
nah
why was the hairdryer skedaddling
😂
you did not mention what cassette did you use in the rear? was the traditional DH cassette or the Enduro eagle 12 speed? if so, you should give some hints on how was pedaling uphill
Actually ended up making it a single speed😭
sick video, but is it really a downduro bike if you cant pedal uphill??
Yes because its a enduro frame.
why didnt you keep the ohlins rear shock from the yt tues?, it would've looked SICK
@TwistedEngineering 200mm wouldn’t fit
@@hayden_cavanah ohh ok, if there is a ohlins coil shock that would fit would you maybe in the future get one?
@TwistedEngineeringprobably not
@@hayden_cavanah aww ok, but atleast you have a high performing fox coil
Pls make more long form vids mostly hide and seek indoors and maybe do the gopro footage wider??
Yeh need to work on the GoPro angle
how did you get electric dh shifting?

Axs on a dh bike???
I though the same thing
since when did they make downhill axs stuff? or is it just off a road bike?
Dude! Where did your shifter go? I just noticed in the riding footage it looks like your shifter is non-existent in the clips
sick build but that ohlin decal placement 😭
What? Thought I did a good job lol
@@hayden_cavanah They dont loom bad its just they are really on the side of the base. I thoughy they were placed at the front of the base idk tho
get halo vortex wheelset
Nah we are one👀
@@hayden_cavanah nuh uhhhhh
if you dont want the codes brakes i would take them off your hands :)
to be honest
