The Aenomaly Switchgrade saddle clamp, main feature is that you can TILT the saddle in 3 positions.. And the Sram grip shift , the two position it goes for dropper post , and the 12 position for the rear derailleur
My best product of 2023 was going back to X01 mechanical and ditching my loud, floppy, chainslappy, boat anchor GX AXS RD/shifter,,,,, er, "controller". Best thing I have done in 2 years!
Yup, and at a huge discount too ... I actually bought a new x01 derailleur and an entire x01 groupset that I got for 50% off (165 of course). I think the new transmission stuff is cool, but I mostly ride DH and bike parks, so can't justify the cost and mechanical is still the better choice given the application. Even if transmission cost the same, I'd still go mechanical. Plus MTB is an escape from the technological, connected world we live in, so I don't want to introduce more electronics if I don't have to.
i find transmission is better (its much more reliable than regular axs), regular axs not so much, mechanical is better indeed. on a non ebike though.. no real reason to go electronic imo..
My best purchase of 2023 was upgrading my Rockshox 35 gold RL to a Rockshox Pike Ultimate. I lost almost 1.5 lbs from the front of the bike and completely changed the way my bike handles chunk.
250k items is absolutely no joke Kudos to your operations people and frontline hourly workers - I’m a warehouse manager for a massive pool supply company in Rochester NY and we ship that out of our 300k sq ft building every year too - all hugely heavy solar covers and pool liners and filters and pool vacuums and pool ladders and steps - all larger heavy items…. It’s quite the operation during the season and I’m sure you guys all prep big time for bike season the way we do for our pool season; it’s an impressive undertaking for sure and no joke when it comes to getting everything g properly shipped on time - not to mention the receiving operations and things that take place in the background to keep inventory from falling apart… Nice work guys, many of us sweat blood for a living but I for sure love what I do… Great vid as always - always happy to see you guys posting content like this #letsgetit 🔥🤙
I went to hell's gate many years ago, before any mountain biking there ! Traveled with an Aussie girl, got invited to the Massai village over in the corner (near the steam energy plant), long story short, Massai leader there had been to Aus (visiting universities to do talks about Massai tribes, better traveled than us) ! He met up with an Aussie Aboriginal (can you imagine that meeting), the Abo (can I say that ?) gave him a didgeridoo to take back to Kenya. When we turned up he told us this & brought out the didgeridoo. Know what .... ? The Aussie girl I was traveling with could circular breath & played it correctly to the whole village for the first time ever. Man that opened up the whole place, we were family after that 🙂! ..... Thanks for sending some money to help with the park, good deed !
Absolutely love my TRP Evo 12 shifter and derailleur I bought from you all on December 5th! Zero chainslap, no more dropped chains and compliments my full powered emtb way better than the AXS GX wireless shifting that I replaced it with. 🎉
Best product of the year for me was Shimano LinkGlide on my Turbo Levo. After blowing up countless drive trains, including the new “indestructible” SRAM Transmission, I went to Link Glide. Wish I had done it a long time ago. Best EMTB drive train I’ve ran.
I got a good deal on a Dartmoor Primal 29 Hardtail frame! Built myself a solid Trailbike with it from spare parts I had lyiing around. Enjoying the simplity of Hardtail again after mostly riding enduro for years
My favorite for two of my bikes - the Inn Teck Banger tire insert. I got for the flat prevention on desert rides but was surprised by the ride compliance - no tire bounce on washboard corners or braking... and no flats. The Banger is very different from the crush core or similar designs... it fills the majority of the air space. Very cool. Second is the Fasthouse gloves - the best by a mile. Last but not least - the Fox dropframe Pro helmet is the best helmet on the planet.
So many good parts this year! I think my personal favorites are SRAM Transmission, Continental DH super soft tires, Wolftooth Resolve Dropper Post (didn't make the list), and of course my beloved Revel Rail 29!
Two things really made a difference for me this year. I switched all my bikes to the Hellsgate grips after trying them. And, I upgraded the dropper posts on my 2 mountain bikes, so much better than the stock parts.
I love my E-Thirteen cassette.... been using for 8 years with a Box components derailluer/shifter, Turbine Crank and Connex Chain. No issues for 2500 miles
28:19 love you guys 😂 cheers from France, hope to have one day some french MTB youtubers like you ! Thanks for all and go for a full GX transmission upgrade on my commencal TEMPO !
Favorite thing I got was the spank spoon 40 bars. Made my bike so much more comfortable and I really didn't notice much of a downside. I still can weight the front on steep climbs, though maybe a fraction slower.
2023 black friday sale was 🔥. CC Kitsuma w progressive coil and Fox 38 for 40% off, Noble TR37's wheels with DT Swiss 240 EXP 54t ratchet for 30% off. Installed on a SB140 LR, loving it
Best purchase I made by far during 2023 is a tie between my Öhlins RXF36M.2 fork (got it for 40%off) and the old Rockshox Super Deluxe coil shock I picked up off of a friend. The two combined transformed the feel of my bike completely. It had traction for days now and still jumps well. Never going back to air out back.
The transmission stuff looks really cool, but I still prefer mechanical. Got a backup x01 groupset (165 of course) for 50% off which is tough to beat. Best purchase besides that was a Chris King headset (black/gold) with titanium Better Bolts which look sick ... wanna try those 5Dev cranks this year.
Best purchase of the year was a revel rail29, it looks so good, can’t wait for summer to ride it! Second to best was switching to continental tyres. I had many flats on maxxis dh casing (6+ in a month). Switched to continental and it improved my times because of increased confidence on grip and did not have to replace once
Quite an endorsement for Continental tires ... I was at Snowshoe but never even noticed, gonna have to try em out on my DH this season ... currently ride Assegai/DHR2 like 95% of bikes I see at the park.
Ordered a bunch of shat from you guys this year. Built up an RSD Middlechild with with a ton of parts from WWC. I think my favorite item I purchased was my all gold i9 wheels. Absolutely dreamish!
wait, I think I bought that link. My road bike needed a bigger climbing gear, and my derailleur couldn't do a 36t cassette. Then I crashed it and put a GRX Derailleur on.
My best purchase this year was a vittorio air liner that you guys showcased in a video. Saved my ass big time at a bike park with an impromptu huck to flat maneuver 😅😅
Bought a 29x2.4 Forekaster to swap out the 29x2.5 High Roller 2 that came on the back of my Cannondale Habit HT for something faster rolling since I just ride local trails but now i kinda have a weird combo since the front is still the original 29x2.5 minion DHF. Any thoughts on 2.6 Fk up front and 2.4 Fk rear?
@@WorldwideCyclery Thanks. Im loving the forkaster. 2.4s all around would probably do it. my old bike has 2.2 ikons so the forkasters seem to have crazy grip in comparison.
My best of 23 was upgrading from a jankily modded 90s stumpjumper rigid forked 69er to a custom steel trail hardtail with a 160mm fork with hope brakes 👌🏻
I bought a Rail29 this last year. Not from you guys though, but from REVEL directly during their crazy cyber weekend deals they ran over thanksgiving. Also got a step cast 120mm from you guys for my Why El Jefe. Made the bike so much smoother over choppy rocky terrain.
Can we get the hells gate with no bar end? I prefer metal bar ends. Not sure how others feel but it's nice to not spread up the end of the grip in the event of a crash
Glad to hear the new contis getting some love, in the UK the argotal are much better than anything else for our sloppy winter conditions and the kryptotal is the best ive used for everything but the worst conditions but still pretty good in the slop
My best purchase was my first propper MTB a kona process 134, I'm totally new to mtb so didnt even recognise most of these products but still watched to the end cos you guys have a good vibe, funny video 🤙
lmao i had the goat link 10 in my wish list or cart at one point and now i wish i got it. i think i didnt get it because i couldnt remember if i had it already or the 11. great great vid.
My best MTB purchases of the year were Hope 4 V4 brakes, Cascade components Long link for my S works Ebike accompanied by a RS Ultimate coil w/HBO and a RS ultimate 170mm fork.
Best purchase, full PNW components cockpit, they make incredible, bomb-proof gear that also looks super dope!! Love that PNW components made a bunch of your lists!!
What was the best MTB related purchase you made this year?
My best purchase was oil for lower leg fork services
The Aenomaly Switchgrade saddle clamp, main feature is that you can TILT the saddle in 3 positions..
And the Sram grip shift , the two position it goes for dropper post , and the 12 position for the rear derailleur
For me was my new bike my new 2023 Norco Sight C3
first full squish: rocky mountain element a30, love it!
Suspension butter. Wasn’t expecting it to impact the smoothness of the travel as much as it did!
My best product of 2023 was going back to X01 mechanical and ditching my loud, floppy, chainslappy, boat anchor GX AXS RD/shifter,,,,, er, "controller". Best thing I have done in 2 years!
X01 mechanical is awesome.

It’s the clutch any better than the Gx?
@@topspot4834you are in the minority.

That is awesome to hear. The Pike Ultimate is an amazing piece of work!

That is such an amazing story. What a memory!
"Traveled with"
Love this video every year. Gold mind of MTB knowledge to be used all year while buying anything for my bike.
Holy smokes. When did you guys start making feature-length films? I'm here for it.
Since 2020 ;)
Love the one up Carbon bar. Got one BECAUSE of that video so thanks Jeff.
The person that bought that goat link should get a special surprise 🎉
Best MTB purchase from 2023 for me was my bike!! Forbidden Druid V2 :) After that, probably X0 T-Type and Continental DH casing super soft Kryptotals.
Absolutely love my TRP Evo 12 shifter and derailleur I bought from you all on December 5th! Zero chainslap, no more dropped chains and compliments my full powered emtb way better than the AXS GX wireless shifting that I replaced it with. 🎉
I love this drivetrain I have the first gen G-spec TR12 it's been solid for me...
Picked up a Cannondale Jekyll, installed carbon bontrager wheels and whiskey bar, Marzocchi 170 coil fork and just ordered an AXS upgrade kit.
My best purchase in 2023 is my Trek Fuel ex 5 with a $600 discount.
Best product of the year for me was Shimano LinkGlide on my Turbo Levo. After blowing up countless drive trains, including the new “indestructible” SRAM Transmission, I went to Link Glide. Wish I had done it a long time ago. Best EMTB drive train I’ve ran.
The best purchase was all my Ketl gear. Rugged enough to ride DH tracks at Rock Creek and also stylish enough to get free beers at the bar.
Thanks so much for the love and support! +1 for not looking like a power ranger at the post ride watering hole. :)
I got a good deal on a Dartmoor Primal 29 Hardtail frame! Built myself a solid Trailbike with it from spare parts I had lyiing around. Enjoying the simplity of Hardtail again after mostly riding enduro for years
Agreed! Hardtails bring you back to basics and remind you why biking is so fun.
Best part of this hour long video is at the first 3 minutes with the trailer park boys clip. Nothings better than Cyrus
TPB for life.
Got my Rail29 from you guys. Love it so much!
Love to hear that! Thanks for the support :)
I bought the wolf tooth😂😂 i didnt think i would be the only one
Amazing!
Best customer service: PNW ❤
Best Tech feature: Ergon saddles fart hole 🙌
Excellent job, love the video. I would like to see a top five not rock shox or Fox suspension.

The "light weight" clip made the cut!!! Been "weighting" for that one. Was that Jared's Blackstone? 😂
Two things really made a difference for me this year. I switched all my bikes to the Hellsgate grips after trying them. And, I upgraded the dropper posts on my 2 mountain bikes, so much better than the stock parts.

My Bike..Ha !
Nice! What did you end up getting?
I love my E-Thirteen cassette.... been using for 8 years with a Box components derailluer/shifter, Turbine Crank and Connex Chain. No issues for 2500 miles
Wolf tooth saved my bacon!! It wasn't me btw.
mmmm bacon.
28:19 love you guys 😂 cheers from France, hope to have one day some french MTB youtubers like you ! Thanks for all and go for a full GX transmission upgrade on my commencal TEMPO !
Thanks for the support!! :)
Tempo owner here :) cheers
As for Saddles, you can't beat a Charge Spoon for comfort,looks,colour ways and most of all Price £25 Ha !
Why was I expecting it to look like a spoon XD
I really enjoy this review because of the jokes. You two are funny. No matter how big your company gets keep joking around in your reviews.
Thanks for the kind words :) we like to keep it fun and keep it real.
Drive train: GX transmission. Grips: Revgrips. Tires: schwalbe Tacky Chans. Handlebars: OneUP carbon. Wheels: Hunt carbon enduro. Dropper Post: OneUp V3. Brakes: Hope 4V4. Saddle: Ergon race.

WAO convergence wheels. Absolutely bomb proof. 1 year haven’t even touched a spoke.
Ah shit forgot I bought and built a new hard tail too. Ibis dv9 is pretty fun too.
This is one of the best mtb videos out there!!
Thanks :)

Marz Z1 air fork for my Tallboy 4. Way stiffer than the Fox 34 it replaced. Really changed the bike.

My best MTB purchase if 2023 was a wolf tooth light Action dropper post lever. LOVE IT!
Two steel frames: Ragley Big Wig and a Kona Sutra LTD 😍 and did my dream builds 🤩
Sick!!
Best purchase was a Norco Fluid A2!
I happy to say that several of your 250k products were things I bought!
Epic!! Thank you so much for the support!
Tires, always love me some fresh rubber.
A 2023 Orbea Rise H10 with a few upgrades. I was able to pick this up as a custom order at 35% off and I'm really enjoying it.
I got a paradox this last year and I absolutely love it!
Been waiting for that video!
Berd wheels with conti race kings for my xc bike. Holy freakin fast.
wicked fast combo!
The Conti tires do have the "Soft" compound in the Enduro and DH casings- the SuperSoft only comes on the DH for now....
Enduro casing with supersoft would be so good. The people need it!
Quite an endorsement for Continental tires ... I was at Snowshoe but never even noticed, gonna have to try em out on my DH this season ... currently ride Assegai/DHR2 like 95% of bikes I see at the park.
They are absolutely worth a go. Confident you'll be impressed!
Ordered a bunch of shat from you guys this year. Built up an RSD Middlechild with with a ton of parts from WWC.
I think my favorite item I purchased was my all gold i9 wheels. Absolutely dreamish!
That sounds properly epic. Thank you so much for the love and support!!
My one up dropper by far!
My We Are One Triad wheelset, so fucking good. Also my Shimano Saints. The breaking power is insane!
My best purchase this year was a fox 38 it’s absolutely amazing 🔥🔥
Nice!!
Turbo Levo Carbon with extra 700wh battery for $3500.00.🤙
The G2 came on surprise.. 😏 Maybe SHIMANO 8-1-2-0? And does the Revel rear up on you if you saddle it with a YETI saddle? 😄
Canyon emtb. Hands down. Game changer
Best 2023 mountain bike purchase: Pivot Mach4.
Legend has it that kids on the North Shore of BC are handed out Maxxis Minion DHR2 tires when they graduate Elementary School.
wait, I think I bought that link. My road bike needed a bigger climbing gear, and my derailleur couldn't do a 36t cassette. Then I crashed it and put a GRX Derailleur on.
I checke,d unfortunately I bought mine from one of your PA store's competitors. I'll do better this year, God knows I never stopped crashing
my best purchase was a set of raceface next carbon bars for like $30 because they were orange and maxxed my bike
best thing I bought was the Reeb SST and the sick build spec that WWC built up!
My man! Cheers Mario!
If you ever make the Hells Gate grips in Purple I’d buy them immediately
Excellent video, nice to your businesses going strong
Thanks for tuning in and thanks for the kind words!
Not to long ago I used to purchase those goat links like crazy making the mods on my bikes and all my friends bikes in order to put a 42t or 46t rear.
Best purchase of 2023 was the trek slash gen 6 frameset
Great video and really informative, thanks 🙏
My best product of 2023 is my Commencal Tempo Öhlins Edition in Öhlins yellow 🙌🏼
Nice!
My best purchase was oil for lower leg fork services
Nothing like a nice fork service :)
Thanks guys.. brilliant video. Watched the whole thing! Informative & Entertaining, as always. Wishing you guys the best! Namaste.
Thanks so much!
Great video thanks!
Thanks for tuning in!
my spring-loaded jockstrap
by FoxShox
I miss these videos
We've got a few great ones in the pipeline :)
Transition smuggler 2023 , love that bike sooo much !
18:54 pronounciation of "Schwalbe" was perfect!
YES! WE DID IT!
Your bike reviews are the best on TH-cam.
Thanks so much!
I love the Whiskey carbon bars
I purchased a lot of stuff but no1 is hope tech 4 v4 brakes. Power wise nothing can touch it. Even saints are level below
I've heard those are great. Will have them on my bike one day! Really impressed with Magura MT7 as well. Also heard great things about Hayes Dominion.
my best purchase of 2023 is a fox 38 factory
I got Acid Disrupt grips to try and no words but WAW! Just perfect
My best purchase this year was a vittorio air liner that you guys showcased in a video. Saved my ass big time at a bike park with an impromptu huck to flat maneuver 😅😅
Those inserts are awesome!! Glad to hear it did its job 😅
Bought a 29x2.4 Forekaster to swap out the 29x2.5 High Roller 2 that came on the back of my Cannondale Habit HT for something faster rolling since I just ride local trails but now i kinda have a weird combo since the front is still the original 29x2.5 minion DHF. Any thoughts on 2.6 Fk up front and 2.4 Fk rear?
That sounds like an awesome combo. You could also run 2 of the forekaster 2.4s, or a forekaster up front and rekon out back. All great combos!
@@WorldwideCyclery Thanks. Im loving the forkaster. 2.4s all around would probably do it. my old bike has 2.2 ikons so the forkasters seem to have crazy grip in comparison.
Bought me the Cannondale Habit HT 29er. Got a good deal for it too.
My best of 23 was upgrading from a jankily modded 90s stumpjumper rigid forked 69er to a custom steel trail hardtail with a 160mm fork with hope brakes 👌🏻
Epic.
I bought a Rail29 this last year. Not from you guys though, but from REVEL directly during their crazy cyber weekend deals they ran over thanksgiving. Also got a step cast 120mm from you guys for my Why El Jefe. Made the bike so much smoother over choppy rocky terrain.
That's an epic quiver ;)
Can we get the hells gate with no bar end? I prefer metal bar ends. Not sure how others feel but it's nice to not spread up the end of the grip in the event of a crash
Glad to hear the new contis getting some love, in the UK the argotal are much better than anything else for our sloppy winter conditions and the kryptotal is the best ive used for everything but the worst conditions but still pretty good in the slop
Trying the PNW loam grip was about all I changed. Looking to change to a shorter 165mm crank.
I got a set of I9 Hydra Enduro S wheels in 2023 and LOVE THEM!
I think it would be cool if you went over price points when you do these types of videos.
Best thing i bought was a new Santa cruz bronson! Previously had the 2012 model. Also the one up pedals!
My best purchase was my first propper MTB a kona process 134, I'm totally new to mtb so didnt even recognise most of these products but still watched to the end cos you guys have a good vibe, funny video 🤙
Thanks so much for tuning in, and welcome to the awesome world of MTB :)
AXS GX drivetrain
Dude try odyssey grand stand pedals if you wanna try some without metal spikes. Bmx pedals
lmao i had the goat link 10 in my wish list or cart at one point and now i wish i got it. i think i didnt get it because i couldnt remember if i had it already or the 11. great great vid.
Best product was my intense tracer with 170 travel and i9 wheels
The best thing I brought is the sram x01 dh group set and fox 40
My best MTB purchases of the year were Hope 4 V4 brakes, Cascade components Long link for my S works Ebike accompanied by a RS Ultimate coil w/HBO and a RS ultimate 170mm fork.
