What other bikes would ya'll like to see on the channel? LET ME KNOW! It's easiest if it's a brand that Jenson carries, but I'm also curious about some of the outliers- like the consumer direct brands! Thanks guys!!!
How about an Evil following/offering/wreckoning? I'd like to see how you think they ride vs ripley/ripmo. Also nice and local to you and a jenson brand i think?
Please show off a zerode! whether katipo, or taniwha, i really would like to see your reaction the the gearbox and the suspension performance of these bikes.
2021 Commencal Meta AM 29 and Norco Shore
New Orbea Rise E bike
@@androostuart Yes I'd love to! We've been in touch, but they don't have any bikes available.
Peace and love to ya'! (signed, Mom)
Love you too Mom!
This is sweet. You're lucky dude, my Mom can barely figure out how to watch videos, nevermind comment.
I would love to see a review on the new Transition Spur!
Since you live in Bellingham, how about one of the two local brands? I think a factory/HQ visit and hearing you talk shop with them would be cool Transition isn't carried by Jenson but I see that they carry Evil's newest models.
Hey KP, I've been in touch with Evil for some time now, they don't have any bikes available. I did request a bike from Kona but nothing has happened yet. Maybe!!! I already ride a Transition (the Bank DJ bike).
I want to see you ride the Transition Scout! It's a local bike meant for local trails in Bellingham, let's see how it does!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Norco Shore
Noted, thanks Ryan!!! The Shore looks sweet- but it might be above my pay grade 😂
Ues plzzz I've been waiting for videos or just news on the shore!
2nd the Shore! I know there's some monster hucks hiding in B'ham
It’d be cool to see you ride the Forbidden Druid. Would love to here your thoughts on the high pivot idler design
I’d love to ride one of those! Heard great stuff about them, and they look sweet! Thanks Nathan!
I’d love to see you test the Fezzari Wire Peak. I have a pair of 2021’s on order for my wife and I and it would be cool to see what you think of them why we (not so patiently wait for them to be delivered. 👍
I'd love to see you ride the Commencal Meta TR 29 or Transition Scout
Bikes that would be cool to see you test/review: Transition Sentinel & Spur, Orbea Rise, and any of the new Evils.
Hi Jeff, love you're videos!!! Would be intrested if you can review the Kona 134 AL/DL. Thanks Arik
Thanks Arik- I'm hoping to ride some Konas in 2021!!!
You need to ride the new Orbea Rise! Also, maybe a haircut😂😂
The tittle is a little bit misleading, The Norco Sight VLT is the 27.5 version, that bike is the Norco Sight VLT 29
I'd love for you to give the Esker bikes a go, either the Elkat or the new Rowl. I'm really intrigued by Dave Weagle's Orion suspension design.
Rocky Mountain Slayer!
Hi. Thanks for the video. I love my Norco sight 2019. Can you try to get a Levo SL?
Hey Jeff, i would love to see you on a Transition Spur. Something tells me your active style and that bikes geometry and short travel would be an awesome combination!
Get in touch with Fezzari in Utah. Bike of your choice. They do an ebike as well!
You should ride the Knolly Warden, another mint Canadian bike from just up the i5 a bit
I’m with Coby. Kona needs some love! How about the new HeiHei CR/DL. I ride the last gen. green machine with only 100/120 travel. It’s surprisingly capable and loads of fun!
Also, I have to say....you’ve gotta be the most stylish rider I’ve ever seen. You make it look easy!
Dude...that's my ride too. Love it. But I'd be happy with any Kona he could land. He said he already reached out to Kona but they didn't respond, hoping someone over there is watching his channel.
Thanks for that Brett! I'm not much of a fan of short travel bikes, I'd rather ride a hardtail at that point, and the new Honzo looks SICK. The new Process models are really interesting as well. A Kona might make it onto the channel here, but probably not before 2020 is over.
hi jeff enjoyed the vid, i have the 2019 v l t do you know if it can take a d v o jade x coil ?would i damage the frame fitting a coil the bike came with an air shock ? was thinking maybe a progressive spring would help ?
I know Jenson does not carry Pivot bikes so this is likely an impossible request, but having a review of the Pivot Switchblade and a discussion comparing it to the Ibis Ripmo V2 would be awesome!
Hey bud I'd like to see you ride the new Trek Slash with either the zeb or fox 38s and also the Trek Rail with the same fork. Keep shredding.😎🤙
Niner RIP9! and Niner Jet9 ... I am a Niner fanboy #ninerd ...also the Transition Spur has tickled my curiosity lately. Cheers, thanks for the vids.
Ah more Niners! Wow. I had no idea Niner had so much love behind them! Folks do report highly about them, so might be fun!!! I must say though, I'm not a big fan of short travel FS... I'd rather ride a hardtail at that point.
@@JeffKendallWeed ah! I see ... Well the Rip9 is 150/140 but hey ... All good if you don't dig that flavor. Can't wait to see more vids.
jeff its kinda weird but i like your haircut i dont mean to offend you or whatever i just think its unique and it suits you. love your vidz man!
Not that they're Canadian but would you ever try a Kona Process 134? They seem like they're short, poppy and would be a manual machine.
I had no idea Norco started on my home mountains Burke/Eagle! Thanks for that nuget, great video 😎👍
Yep! I researched them quite a bit, there's not a ton of great Norco historical info to be found, but I did think that was pretty pertinent and interesting!
You should ride some sort of modern Santa Cruz.
can you try and ride a dartmoor hornet? this is another aggressive HT but a little different than the chromag stylus.
Ever tried Banshee bikes? There new hardtail Paradox v3 looks very interesting... but are very few TH-cam reviews about it
Good stuff as always Jeff! I think you need to get Jenson to send you the new Orbea Rise. Would be interesting to get your take on a sub 40lb E-bike that has reduced power.
looking forward to this review, I'm a Norco lover and have had 3 generations of the sight, if I was to get an E-bike the Sight VLT is top of the list
Right on Philip! I'm working on the ride report now!!!
Kona process 134. The funnest trailbike?
Cool vido, could you review the Privateer 141 please
Hi...nice video...im 157 cm and 30Kgs...i will demo this bike in a small size frame...do you think bike fits me well...thanks
Love the content. Get more crazy hardtails on! Kona Honzo ESD just one that would come to mind.
Which trails? I'm sure you already know but the Dark Divide of Gifford Pinchot has some absurdly good trails. Best stuff for us anywhere near Portland.
Hey David, most of what's in this vid here is Juniper Ridge on Gifford Pinchot. I try not to post direct trail names too often, as I don't want to "blow up" spots more than necessary. I enjoyed Gifford Pinchot, but I would rather ebike there than regular bicycle ride. Or heck, leave the bicycles at home, and just bring the moto!
@@JeffKendallWeed Rad! probably the best of them all.
and yeah, I could see a case being made for an ebike, lol
Let's see some santa cruz and transition
I would really love to know thoughts on any of Marin's bike. Specifically on how do they compare to higher end bikes such as Ibis, Santa Cruz and the likes. Love your videos, keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thoughts on the new nukeproof mega 290?
Awesome video new transition sentinal please
I’d like to see your review on the Norco Optic. Trail bike with Enduro geo and kit sounds pretty great!
I am really interested in the new Orbea Rise....... partly because it just looks awesome, and my friend Steph is featured in the launch video :)
How about something really unusual? A Starling Murmur (beautiful, handmade full steel FS made in England) or a Deviate Highlander (hi tech, high pivot, full carbon FS designed in Scotland).
YETTIII!!
I’d love to see you test out the Commencal Meta and the TR!
I'd like to see a review of a Bombtrack Cale ht, or basic Marin Rift Zone 29er please. Or for nostalgia stake Marin Pine Mountain or Kona Unit X.
I was wondering if you’ve ever tried any transition bike
I own a Transition Bank dirt jumper!!!
please ride the hell out of a giant reign e+ Pro. This e bike is so heavy but i know that you can fly with this bike still.
Santa Cruz Heckler
I’ve heard of this new bike called the Grim Donut. I think Pinkbike is the manufacturer. I’d be interested to see how it manuals.
LOL that would break the internet! I might have to ask them, as that is a kick ass idea, but with the boarder closed, it makes that super complex.
Would you be interested in reviewing a Santa Cruz 5010?
I have the 2019 5010 and I really like how playful it is on the trail. I would like to see what you think of the new 2021 model.
Hey David, I have been curious about a bunch of the newer SC models. Logan just bought a Tallboy, I might rent that from him for a video.
Try a Devinci AC man!
Hey jeff do you have discount code for Jenson usa?
Thanks for asking, Gabe, but I don't. I often do Jenson gift card giveaways on my Patreon page, but that's it.
A bike I'm really curious about is the new Spot Mayhem 150... Haven't been able to find any reviews so far. Also the Guerilla Gravity line...
Hey Ken, great point! I've never ridden a Spot. Next summer I'll be making a CO trip or two, maybe that'd fit in nicely. Good suggestion!
Commencal meta power sx
I would like to watch you riding a rocky mountain element! I know! That's kind of unusual, still want to see how you squeeze it!
Ooooh that'd be neat! I am LOVING the Altitude, it's become my go-to bike for just about everything. The Element and the Growler would be fun!
Forbidden Druid 100%
Specialized enduro 2020 :)
You should get a DJ and shred some more pump tracks
Hahaha well I do have one, but no one wants to watch me huck myself around the pump track 😂
If Chucky was a human being...
Would like to see you demo Commencal Enduro bikes and EMTBs.
Comparing the Commencal and the YT would be AWESOME. Maybe I’ll figure out how to get ahold of those company?
@@JeffKendallWeed Commencal has their Canadian distribution centre/showroom in Squamish, so there's a good outlet close by. I'd also love to get your opinion on the 2021 Commencal Meta AM.
Would love to see you ride/review Canyon Spectral
That'd be fun! The consumer direct bike brands would be interesting to try. Thanks DPO!
@@JeffKendallWeed Maybe Singletrack Sampler can get you a Canyon :D
I really want to see you try out a kona process because I REALLLLLY WANT TO KNOW YOUR INPUT ON PROCESS VS ALTITUDE
Ahhhh thanks for the feedback! I’d love to do more Kona stuff, but Jenson only sells them on a close out basis. Hopefully that changes!!!
@@JeffKendallWeed Rip, i heard so many good things about that bike too
The Process is VERY popular here in Bellingham. I've ridden them in parking lots, never on a trail. The geo was pretty steep compared with the Rocky, and the bikes aren't as adjustable, but lots of folks are super happy with them.
👍nice you should get a custom hardtail
He already does if you actually looked at his page
Well the Chromag is fairly custom but it’s not a custom made frame! I’d actually love to get a SS hardtail put together, something that can run 2.6 tires and doesn’t have a very slack seat angle!
Nukeproof Bikes :)
Last time I ordered something from Jenson it never arrived and they wouldn’t get me a refound, accompanied with bad assistance
Oh no Nicolas, sorry to hear that!
Really interested in trail reviews for e friendly spots in Washington!
That’s a great idea for a vid! Thanks LS John!
Not sure how “LS” Made it in there, dang iPhone!
Jeff, what about reviewing a Kona. You are in Bellingham, their in Bellingham. What gives? You two got beef?
Beef?! Not at all! Jenson is how I’m able to do these videos, but they aren’t a Kona dealer. They are just authorized for Kona close out specials, not regular retail. I asked Kona for a bike and never got a response, I’ll try again this fall!
@@JeffKendallWeed I hope things works out with Kona. I couldn't imagine a better channel for them to team up with for a unbiased and honest review. Are you listening Kona? Maybe Jenson can pull some strings. Thanks Jeff.
your videos are amazing and i love you channel but e bikes on the other hand not ok
Kona process
Commencal clash
Evil offfering or Santa Cruz Bronson
I swear Jeff spends more time on one wheel than two 🤣 Can you ride a unicycle?
Hahaha Plissken, yes, I can ride a unicycle, but I don't! Unicycles kinda suck, they can't go fast and they can't jump.
@@JeffKendallWeed "Kris Holm has entered the chat"
specialized kenevo
Maybe Transition?
I'll do a video abut my 2007 Transition Bank DJ bike! Hahaha!!! I'd love to try out their bikes, once the opportunity comes up, I'll hop on it.
Canadian bike...knolly
Ah yes, I’ve never ridden a Knolly! Great suggestion Sylvain! Thanks!!!
Great video but bro you gotta do something about that hair!!
Lol I had a brand new PNW Components hat I was planning to wear but simply forgot! Ooops!
