I got the Loco Moto which is the same frame as this with the Pike and I have now sold both my full sus enduro and trail bikes as I was never riding them - I was always on the Titus. Looks weird, rides just like the reviewer said. Bloody brilliant fun, does anything and everything well. Only caveat to it all is you have to really work hard to get the front end up when youre going off stuff. The front wheel is glued down because of the length.
Nice! I’m local and just got back into biking. What trails/ route is that at stainburn? Fancy taking my Roscoe 9 round it tomorrow. Loving the vids mate keep up the good work. And when is Stainburn trail guide 3 coming out??
Was checking on the site and couldn't find what offset version of the fork the bike comes with? If it was the trendy 44mm one it would have a trail of 154mm... huge! Maybe in the case of such a slack bike, 51mm should be preferred?
Been looking forward to this review 😎 In your opinion how do the sizes ride? I see yours is an L, but how tall are you? long limbs? I'm 1.88m and that puts me at the end of the L spectrum AND beginning of the XL, wondering which size to go for...
Hi Uldis, I'm 1.8m with short legs and long arms and TBH I'm probably between the M and L as the L is at the longest end of the spectrum for me. Good for speed and straight stuff, but for playing in the woods I'd go for the smaller of the two sizes.
Nice review Guy,thank you 🤘. Can i ask which bike would you pick for max £2500 out of hartail's and full suspension under 14kg preferably 😬, i'm just wondering what you would choose as maybe it's like not such a good idea to get a hardtail because for this money i could get a trek top fuel 5 or polygon t8 etc or maybe that's even a bad idea as maybe e bikes are the way to go now ive seen some second hand for this price ?,i was going to choose between this bike or trek roscoe 9 or orbea luafey h ltd or whyte 909 but would this bike be a lot nicer ride as it's titanium vs alu on the others,also am mostly climing say 60/40 downhill and used to a 64.5 ha on my whyte 801 v3 2021, it's pretty good but time for an upgrade 😁
Actually it's more like the trails on this video not anything major downhill stuff but there is some bits can be steep,rooty muddy etc if winter,mostly road climbing some tech single track also, but it's nothing too big just short steep rooty muddy downhilling where i am unless i get to glentress or up north etc.I did go on this site called 99 spokes and compared these bikes and it's saying the orbea laufey h ltd is the faster over the whyte 909 and roscoe 9 by only 2 km/h,44 vs 42 and this wrekker is last place at 40 km/h so a little slower, idk how they work it out and wouldn't mind that if the titanium ride would be a lot better as ive never tried it and kinda tempted but just worried climbing will be a lot worse than the other bikes but maybe not as it's 77deg vs 74/75's,it's also saying the whyte 909 is best value until i typed in the trek top fuel 7 which they put on the list as a bit further a head on thier spec to cost graph thing of all the bikes it is 14.8kg and little past budget but kinda like the storage box thing even though they proberly made it a bit useless with being to small.Hopefully not confusing you too much 😅,i'm just struggling a bit wether to pick this over the other 3 hardtails,thank you very much for the help i'll send tip on pat if i can 🙂
Hey Guy, how does this compare to the titus fireline? I do all round trail riding, drops and jumps, and the sort of riding similar to what your doing on the vid. Is this worth getting over the fireline?
@@GuyKesTV Thanks Guy, don't really want to lose any agility, and the warranty on the titus is reassuring compared to on one. Great review mate, keep it up👍
Yep, they're obviously linked brands and I think they just realised the numbers were a bit mental for Titus which is meant to be the more sensible/mature/posh brand.
@@GuyKesTV btw, I got myself the Titus Loco Moto here in the US w/ my specs of ZEB Ultimate, SRAM Eagle GX AXS, Lightbicycle wheelsets w/ I9 hydra hubs and RACEFACE cockpit components, PNW Dropper...weighing around 28lbs
I don't normally quote prices as they change so much but currently £3k with the AXS kit and Lyrik here. There's a cable gear and Pike bike for £2300 too.
You'd think it would be shit right? There are certainly awkward moments on tight uphill turns or weaving around rocks etc just because of the length. The long chain stays and steep seat angle means the traction and overall poise are actually really good though and it feels solid when you're going hard on the pedals too.
Ey up HOD I'm sorry but I've not ridden a Scout for several years. I was really impressed with it though. Much smoother than I expected for alloy and fast on XC but still a ripper on descents.
@@GuyKesTV I really appreciate your response brother. Do you still have the chisel? Would you recommend it? I'm looking for something for long days in the saddle but also fast and efficient.
Those super loooong Reach figures on such a bike that needs as wide a range of motion as possible, is utterly ridiculous. Size down folks; shorter riders need not look at such bikes.

If you just want a bike for fun, this thing is it👌🏻
The bike is superb and rides like gliding 😊
I've got a Titus Loco Moto which is as far as I can tell, the exact same bike. Amazing bike for any Enduro rider.
For you every bike insane
haha, sorry. I promise to say it less, I get carried away. For this one it's definitely true tho.
A great review and some ace riding 👍. This or the Hello Dave for more DH stuff ?
I kept thinking you were going to jam the handlebars on those narrow wooded sections😮
haha, I know the widths between the trees pretty well up there. Certainly a couple of sections I made sure I went round
Nice! I’m local and just got back into biking. What trails/ route is that at stainburn? Fancy taking my Roscoe 9 round it tomorrow. Loving the vids mate keep up the good work. And when is Stainburn trail guide 3 coming out??
Too right.... well said....👍
Looks great fun! I’m currently running 2.6” tyres on my cotic bfemax and am starting to wonder if 2.4” is a better option for in winter
I normally go narrower in winter for a bit more 'cut' rather than 'drift' if you know what I mean
How is it compared to stif squash.
Steep climb and downhill..
Thanks
I’m 6’2” heavy build- what size would be best?
Great review! Which frame feels softer/more compliant? This Wreckker or the Hellow Dave?
I’d say Dave feels smoother and more damped, esp with a bit more weight in the frame. Wrekker has more pop and zing to it if that makes sense.
@@GuyKesTV Thank you!
Is it out yet?

Hey my dude, amazing review! I was wondering how much the frame itself weighs, it looks heavy >: If it`s under 2.5 kg I might just get one myself :D
2.1kg
Was checking on the site and couldn't find what offset version of the fork the bike comes with?
If it was the trendy 44mm one it would have a trail of 154mm... huge!
Maybe in the case of such a slack bike, 51mm should be preferred?
I just checked and it's a 42mm. Would explain why it flops around before it gets rolling.
@@GuyKesTV But even with that offset, it doesn't feel too stering-dead, does it?
I mean, you liked it, so if couldn't be super-dead stable...
Been looking forward to this review 😎

@@GuyKesTV Thanks!
Really useful info, as with long legs and arms & short(ish) torso I think I should go for an L then.
Cheers! :)
@@uldi1s hi mate :)
I'm 1.88 and have the L ..you definitely don't want the XL. The Large is plentyyy long enough. Enjoy! They're fun!!!
Thanks for a great bike test. Can I purchase one living in the United States?
Planer X ships internationally
@@uldi1s Thanks for jumping in with the info Uldis 👍

What sort of riding are you wanting to do on them. Rocky trails? Smoother flow trails? jumps and drops? Long and lots and climbs?
Actually it's more like the trails on this video not anything major downhill stuff but there is some bits can be steep,rooty muddy etc if winter,mostly road climbing some tech single track also, but it's nothing too big just short steep rooty muddy downhilling where i am unless i get to glentress or up north etc.I did go on this site called 99 spokes and compared these bikes and it's saying the orbea laufey h ltd is the faster over the whyte 909 and roscoe 9 by only 2 km/h,44 vs 42 and this wrekker is last place at 40 km/h so a little slower, idk how they work it out and wouldn't mind that if the titanium ride would be a lot better as ive never tried it and kinda tempted but just worried climbing will be a lot worse than the other bikes but maybe not as it's 77deg vs 74/75's,it's also saying the whyte 909 is best value until i typed in the trek top fuel 7 which they put on the list as a bit further a head on thier spec to cost graph thing of all the bikes it is 14.8kg and little past budget but kinda like the storage box thing even though they proberly made it a bit useless with being to small.Hopefully not confusing you too much 😅,i'm just struggling a bit wether to pick this over the other 3 hardtails,thank you very much for the help i'll send tip on pat if i can 🙂

Ey up Matt, if you're happy with your Fireline I'd stick with it. Definitely a more agile ride than the Wrekkker and Titus warranty is better too.
@@GuyKesTV Thanks Guy, don't really want to lose any agility, and the warranty on the titus is reassuring compared to on one. Great review mate, keep it up👍
Similar to the Titus Loco Moto hardtail looks like!?
Yep, they're obviously linked brands and I think they just realised the numbers were a bit mental for Titus which is meant to be the more sensible/mature/posh brand.

@@CoppermaxEyewear1983 Oh man I bet that is a sick ride!
@@GuyKesTV oh yeah, i'm totally loving it!
Hey Guy, you keep mentioning how affordable etc but I don't think you ever mention any prices?
Might make me swap my 29er Sentier! 😉
dont bother,sentiers are great,maybe 1 to 5% increase in performance for an extra £1500,hardly worth it.
3 k in the spec what was shown . Brilliant value
I don't normally quote prices as they change so much but currently £3k with the AXS kit and Lyrik here. There's a cable gear and Pike bike for £2300 too.
That’s a great looking fun bike. As you mentioned it’s very slack and the front end looks as slack as a downhill bike, how does it climb?
You'd think it would be shit right? There are certainly awkward moments on tight uphill turns or weaving around rocks etc just because of the length. The long chain stays and steep seat angle means the traction and overall poise are actually really good though and it feels solid when you're going hard on the pedals too.
@@GuyKesTV Might it have been even better with a medium size ? probs i guess 🤔
What are your thoughts on the nukeproof scout 2022?
Ey up HOD I'm sorry but I've not ridden a Scout for several years. I was really impressed with it though. Much smoother than I expected for alloy and fast on XC but still a ripper on descents.
