i love my strive and would not want to trade it for another one. but i swapped the cassette to a 511% ethirteen and the chainring to a 26t... now it's just awesome :D
And you just change tires .. lucky you. Still prefer the duo Magic mary in the front and hans dampf in the rear. I've got the same and those tires are awesome. I didn't expect it but we did a wet ride months ago (we don't find a lot of mud like in the UK) and surprisingly I had more grip in wet conditions.. Amazing
Dylan Murphy he's running flat pedals at the moment for the weather. Sadly clips are just nicer to pedal in, however you should have both flats and clips. They each have their own attributes. I love flats but clips are just nicer to pedal in, whilst flats can get you out of bad situations. However not sure about the stamps being that good. I have had both CB DH and mallet Es and my mallet e's were crap, however the mallet DH's have held up ok. Lots of people having problems with them and CB are known to be temporary.
Just a nice due to your labels not matching up on your rims and tires. Also looks like you've blow through the travel on your shock as the o ring is off the bottom LOL.
How do you guys choose what bike to ride on a given day? You have so many that are for the same purpose. Do you ride a specific bike each day of the week?
I'm not using all the travel on my rockshox lyric fork, I have just over 20% sag. would it help to add more rebound damping and have more low speed compression?
Ellis M You could check to see if your fork has too many volume spacers in it if it has any at all. Also keep in mind depending on the terrain your riding you might not bottom out. If all you ride is smooth berms you wont be bottoming out. Even on most jumps you won't bottom out unless its massive or you land all nose. More rebound damping wont solve your problem but you should make sure your fork dials are set up properly. Im pretty sure GMBN has a video and if not there are others on TH-cam.
Patrick Logan it might just be my local trails aren't rough enough. Also I don't think I have voloum le spacers inside because the bike came with 2 that you had to put in
It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
So both Bike and component companies spend huge amounts of money in research and development trying to get their items as light as possible, then you turn up with a huge amount of excess hair, got to be roughly 400g's there. ;)
It is an older model but assuming that it was top of the line for 2015-2016 it would be around 4-5000 euros. So, yeah, just shy of $6k. But with the carbon wheels...that's a $2000 after market upgrade.
Daniel evans Pop off the lip almost like your doing a mini bunny hop. More speed might help if you aren't making it to the landing. But before you worry about getting more air make sure you are confident with jumping in general. If you aren't then practice more and don't give up.
#GMBN. Scotty I noticed on your Scott Genius, you were running a 30t front chainring, now on your Canyon you have a 34t chainring, why the change? Are the GMBN boys giving you too much slack for the 30t? hahaha. I'm currently a 30t oval front.
This bike is too good for me. It would feel wrong flying into trees and going over the bars with this beauty.
Robert Flagg dude, what if you scratched those kashima fork!
Another dream bike of mine....
ikr
4:15 - 'A little substantial difference' 😆
Im glad someone else heard that. 😂😂👌
Miss scotty on the GMBN Channel...
i love my strive and would not want to trade it for another one. but i swapped the cassette to a 511% ethirteen and the chainring to a 26t... now it's just awesome :D
Absolutely sick bike. Way beyond what someone of my skill would need but for you, it's perfect.
Pretty sure the shapeshifter reduces the travel to 130mm as well Scotty - surely more relevant than head angle changes??

Let's get a pro bike check on the gambler. One with it all stock, and the second one with all of the mods on it.
So how do you decide whether you use your Scott or your canyon? 🤔
How freaking many pro bikes does Scotty have!?!?! lol. The strive is so sexy in this color way btw
henry06x dude you should see those yellow rims in action, it looks cool when its spinning really fast 😂
3:45 flat pedals win medals
1:48 really?

GOT A CANYON STRIVE TODAY FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
would really love to have one of these...
Don't forget to name all those sponsors
you should do 160mm vs 203mm discs for trail riding

Awesome bike Scotty
Nice video! Love that intro
I thought Conti did your tyres now? (Nothing wrong with Schwalbe, I've got Magic Mary up front Hans Dampf rear as well).
If I could have only one bike in the world it would be the Strive.
Dream bike!
I just bought a HT and i´m not very comfortable with it the way I ride. I´m in love with the Strive and the Spectral.
I LOVE ME SOME MAGIC MARRY!
scott rides so hard his o-ring on the shock is almost at the bearings
Awesome stunning bike. How much did it set you back? What were the modifications you did to get it the way you wanted it after taking it out the box?
Super Nice! 😃
why does Scott have two 170mm travel bikes that are both made to do the same thing.
Often overlooked in reviews, personal and pros, first thing I wanna know is what size frame?
What type of rear axle does it have? is it a 142 mm or a boost 148 mm?
Super nice!
Are the settings on the fox 36 from fully closed or fully open?
How do u like ur crankbrothers seatpost?? I heard it was too slow to go up?
I was wondering what the difference was between the Fox float x and the Fox float x2. Why wouldn't you run the x2?
Scotty's Strive has better looking than Neil's blue one
Love the bike but not the price
Its super nice !
I have a specialized pitch (hard tail)
how many air spacers in the front fork?
Can you review the Al model compared to the cf?
Super Nice!!
Super nice
What stand are u using?
3:50 shockrubber dropped 🙈
If I was to get a bike with 27.5 on + sized tires, could I change them to 27.5 x 2.5
What size frame does Scotty ride?
Scotty Scotty Scotty, you didn't even mention the bottom bracket!!! Is it PF or threaded cause that's a deal breaker for some folks!
How much would this bike be
What size is this frame?
why do you have the canyon and the scott?
Topcap headset with FOX logo?
Please GMBN, I really want to know if you can fit a plus tire in this bike, like a 2.8 or even 3.0 tire.
Definitely not a 2.8 or 3.0. You might be able to get away with a 2.5 though.
recommend
wow, santa cruz! represent hahaha
How heavy is it??
I'm not using all the travel on my rockshox lyric fork, I have just over 20% sag. would it help to add more rebound damping and have more low speed compression?

Ellis M drop to 25%
Patrick Logan it might just be my local trails aren't rough enough. Also I don't think I have voloum le spacers inside because the bike came with 2 that you had to put in
When you have a Magic Mary Trailstar on the front and a Maxxis Ikon for the rear ,you know im brapping singapores really confusing trail system
im on a hardtail too so i think the magic mary is overkill
27,5 front and 26 rear?
34 tooth front? Jeeez son, way to have the power legs
Good shit
Dude I got the strive. Extra small. I’m 164 cm Do yo think 🤔 is this the right size for me
Strive or Spectral?
Is this the same as Neil's bike?
Seanpaulnz01 no
Seanpaulnz01 same model bike but different spec and I think Neil has a slightly longer reach version
I have Giant Trance 27.5 3 2016
gapi pančur I also care about the same I care about Scotty's bike
gapi pančur I got a trance 3 too! It's the 2017 version
Good bike. I've got the 2014 Trance 1
Aaronmn7 and your is even better
Justin Jolicoeur yea trance forever
I like the Strive but has anyone had any problem with the Shapeshifter? I heard it has maintenance issues.
TheOrangutank I like mine
Weight?
Is Scotty from the same area as Bear Grylls or what? The way he speaks is somewhat similar :P
I don't like that Gmbn are sponsored because they are always talking about their sponsors and not giving their honest opinions on other products
Pls do your downhill bike check
the brake levers are almost horizontal
It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire.

Ye scott
Hey how heavy is this bike?
andy augustine 12.9 kilos
Marco Palacios, in a medium frame
anyone know the latest on these being available the US?
Eric Lewis coming soon apparently
Who is better trek or canyon
Canyon if you're straight shredding, Trek if you're just hitting average trails. I think? Someone correct me.
Brake lever angle!!! @yoannbarelli style lol
#askgmbn I just bought a hard tail. it has spring suspension should I upgrade to air?
Colin Gagnon no you shouldn't
Ahmed Elsed how come?
If in budget yes
Because me and my friend I have air he has spring their is nor different it's not worth buying new fork
Francois Terblanche thanks
What frame size?
I believe it´s size L
Im not sure, it should be XL for his hight...
#askGMBN how do you take your bike with you on holiday out of the country
should have raced it with neils strive.
So both Bike and component companies spend huge amounts of money in research and development trying to get their items as light as possible, then you turn up with a huge amount of excess hair, got to be roughly 400g's there. ;)
Someone sounds bald...
:o you don't use helitape on the cranks
BeatJumper 👽 helitape?
clear 3m tape to stop the decals from being rubbed off and to prevent wear to the carbons finish.
Does anyone know how much this bike would cost?
Lots of different spec ranges tho and their aluminiumiuninum is also really nice with about a 1 kilo difference
***** Yeah that's a expensive bike not as much as I'd expect to be though
Why don't you sell gmbn water bottles?
THEY AFTER MARKET FORKS 170MM
flat pedals win medals
What is the readily price for that bike..? $6000......?
Julie Walls Around 6000 but with that wheelset maybe youre looking at 7500 or so
It is an older model but assuming that it was top of the line for 2015-2016 it would be around 4-5000 euros. So, yeah, just shy of $6k. But with the carbon wheels...that's a $2000 after market upgrade.
do you pay for your bikes
66° head angle!?!?!?!???? how do you even get down the hill with such a steep front end! 66 is so 2014....
#askgmbn what's your to tips on getting air
