We suspect a few of you might have some strongly held opinions on this topic, so let us know below what you think the best looking mountain bike of all time is! 👇
Happy to see Transition up first. Custom built a Transition Spire last summer and couldn't be happier! My first mtn bike. I did a lot of research on all the parts. Sram axs, magura mt7, one up carbon bars, ergon seat, maxxis tire with cushcore, fox 180 front with float x2 rear, crankbros stamp 7 pedals. Everytime I ride I can't believe I'm riding it!
I am a big fan of the Canyon Spectral 29 since I got mine this past fall in the color Xray. The bike will manage way more than I can but it is awesome to have faith in its ability to do it all.
@@gmbn mine is British racing Green, and I believe I was the first to go for the raw silver linkages. All the parts are also finished in raw silver, such as 5dev cranks, Chris King headset and BB, burgtec pedals, etc etc... I built my own wheels for it with polish silver spank hubs, silver spokes and nipples... In my mind I'm thinking old school MG in bike form... Hopefully have her built this coming week 🙌
Guys, you missed out the Nukeproof Scout??? The most stunning HT ever produced. I have just bought a frame and I am building it on a budget in my recently developed workshop in my garage. Surely you missed this by mistake???
2022 Canyon Spectral CFR. One of the most beautiful bikes ever, if you are into fluid lines and balanced design. Being a Shimano guy, it was the only year you could get the CFR with full Shimano XTR instead of SRAM components.
Youz guyz should do a show or a segment where all the presenters share what they think would be a great "name" for a bike and the "type" of bike it may be.
Not a single Hardtail? Hope you guys are planning a hardtail special, there's some awesome looking HT's out there: Moots, Eskar, Ribble, Dartmoor, RSD, Nukeproof, Curtis, etc all make some gorgeous hardtails.
My vote goes to the Deviate Claymore. Both the lovely dark green and red frames just absolutely pop and look royal with either silver or gold accented parts. 😍 I swear I don't have a high pivot fetish. But something about the Forbidden Dreadnought makes me want one too even though it's 90% more bike than I need???
For a drooling over sexy bikes of an episode you show surprisingly quick clips of the bikes themselves. For the Commencal supreme you only had that one video twice and then a few clips of that bike zooming past downhill. How am I to appreciate the lines if I cant see em? Get a catalogue photo from the manufacturer and put it up for several seconds.
Coal 84 is real diamond amongst those bikes, hey a diamond is just coal under pressure isn’t it? Reminds me of a hand built watch with all the fine details!👌🏻👍🏻
2012 to 2014 Niner Jet9Rdo is the most beautiful frame ever. But I’m biased. I have a Jet9Rdo with xx1 drive, xtr brakes, Easton wheels, fox factory suspension
EMRG RIP IV. It's one beauty of a bike. It's a great story behind that bike and honestly, doesn't look like all the others, it's different but so unbelievably beautiful. I can't describe it in words but once as I saw it on a bikepark, I was just so amazed by that bike
I think the bird forge stainless is a beauty, any antidote bike they are all probably the nicest bikes itw, production privee shan martini colour scheme and stanton switch9er fs in ti are lookers too 👍
Surely....surely.... Pole's new "Onni" DH bike unvieled at Sea Otter wins the big dance??? Anna Cipullo was drooling as she showed us around it... although, I guess, technically you cannot buy it as of right now...... but WOW!! It would be my first purchase if I won powerball!
I've recently bought a Nukeproof Reactor 290 Elite Carbon. I never wanted a Yellow bike but I love it. Trying to keep up with my 14 year old son. The bike I've had for years is a 1997 Marin Team Issue which even the 14yo agrees is gorgeous. I''d like to know if anyone else agrees
2015 S-works Enduro with the white/black/red paint scheme. I remember that being the COOLEST bike. The X-wing frame of that generation was just so cool
If I did "tsus-thes-shue" (ala Zorro) with that much intensity, I'd probably have to wipe down my laptop's screen with the arm of a GMBN sweatshirt...LOL
Starling Murmur any day. You can't beat a single pivot steel tube bike. Mine's in a metallic purple with black components. Just wish my riding did it justice!
Getting to see Neko's Frameworks prototype up close when we visited the 5Dev factory was cool! A lot different to the bikes we featured here, but great looking in its own way.

It's the Stumpjumper Evo 2022 onwards, how could it not make this list? Absolutely beautiful and functional frame
Come on, Antidote CARBONJACK? How could you not include that!?
@@Designandrew it’s a clevis mount frame, it must not make any list
Great list! I'm surprised 'Ole Blakey didn't mention a hardtail! I nominate the Yeti Arc.
Forbidden 👌
Surely there is a Hardtail special coming along in the same vein?
Hope so
I nominate my titus loco moto❤
There’s little white worms in my shit
That Coal 84 is something special 😮🔥 Need one!! 🤯
Loved the bikes in the video,but my fave is the canyon sender...man this bike looks sexy!
The coal is the one for me, that hand made frame is so rustic and sexy, the green paint job also is probably the best paint job I've ever seen!😮
The transition is nice.. Best looking bikes of the moment...Last Tarvo, kingdom Hex, stanton switch9er ti
Coal 84 for the win, such a gorgeous shape!
Hell yeah!! I 100% the Intense 951 is beautiful ,
Also hell yeah that's my bike!!! That's incredible!!
transition bikes tr450 was my all time dream bike when i was younger
Kingdom Void with Intend suspension. Clean looking Ti bike.
Cant believe y'all left out We Are One's Arrival, Pole Onni and pretty much everything from Antidote bikes, they are stunning.
There are some great looking bikes in that list! 😍
The We are One Arrival is the best looking bike released in 10 years in my opinion.
Love my Occam M10! My favorite from the list most be Yeti.
I've always liked the Guerilla Gravity Gnarvana.
Believe me when I say that the Radon Swoop 170 AL 9.0 with the yellow and red Frame is beautiful!
Commencal looks the part and IS the part. Expensive? YES, but it's a whole lot of bike.
Loooove it!

@@TheBaconChannel69 Thank you!
To be fair. I love your nuke proof scout Blake!!! Very cool looking bike.
I also have that in the same color but tbh i think there are prettier hardtails, like that yellow Cotiv BFe a few years ago 😍
Nice to see the Intense 951 - I bought a used 951 frame during lockdown as my first ever bike build so it will always be special for me!
I am a big fan of the Canyon Spectral 29 since I got mine this past fall in the color Xray. The bike will manage way more than I can but it is awesome to have faith in its ability to do it all.
Commencal and Mondrakers ❤
My Coal 84 frame arrived a couple weeks ago ... It truly the best looking bike out there!!!!
Key question though: which colour?!
@@gmbn mine is British racing Green, and I believe I was the first to go for the raw silver linkages.

@@gmbn hope to have it done for hand made bike show Melbourne Australia at the start of June
@@captaincrazymofo This sounds unreal!!!!
Bit bias maybe but I’d say the 2021 Propain tyee is up there! clean lines much like the transition 😍 Raw carbon with orange is just 👌🏻
Guys, you missed out the Nukeproof Scout??? The most stunning HT ever produced. I have just bought a frame and I am building it on a budget in my recently developed workshop in my garage. Surely you missed this by mistake???
definately the Nukeproof Scout for me such a stunning bike!
Out of that list it's the Coal 84 all day. No love for the hardtails? Nukeproof Scout?
Staggered that the Scott Gambler hadn't made it! Or a single Propain?!
Kingdom Void, beautiful bike
Santa Cruz and Yeti 🔥
I have a Spectral AL that sits in the living room and I come to look at it at least a couple times a day. Such a good looking bike.
I’m lucky, I got the Yeti, lovely, lovely bike
2022 Canyon Spectral CFR. One of the most beautiful bikes ever, if you are into fluid lines and balanced design. Being a Shimano guy, it was the only year you could get the CFR with full Shimano XTR instead of SRAM components.
What’s different about the cfr? Compared to the cf I mean. It looks the same, doesn’t it?
@@LuLeBecf just means carbon fibre but cfr means canyon factory racing so it's the same bikes that the pro racers use
Coal 84 is 🔥
Agreed! The detail in that particular paint job is something else - as you could tell from how close Rich was getting to that laptop screen 🤣
My favourite bike was the comncal downhill bike
Pivot makes the best looking bikes, clean lines.
Evil Wreckoning v3 😊
Quite like an Evil The wreckoning myself
GOTTA ADD THE NS BIKES DEFINE 150 WHITE
It has to be Yeti! 💙 Such an awesome bikes! I couldn't get in torquoise, so I went for something else! 🤘

Not to forget Pace, Kingdom, Orange, Moxie, Starling and Stanton
@@gordonfox675 I was trying to remember more, especially Moxie and Starling
My vote goes to the Deviate Claymore. Both the lovely dark green and red frames just absolutely pop and look royal with either silver or gold accented parts. 😍
I swear I don't have a high pivot fetish. But something about the Forbidden Dreadnought makes me want one too even though it's 90% more bike than I need???
How do you not pick Atherton’s DH bike ❓That thing is BA.👍
The Commencal Meta AM polished with a Red Lyrik and Red Coil. Uh
The new Simplon Rapcon
Coal 84 by a LARGE margin. Stunner.
For a drooling over sexy bikes of an episode you show surprisingly quick clips of the bikes themselves. For the Commencal supreme you only had that one video twice and then a few clips of that bike zooming past downhill. How am I to appreciate the lines if I cant see em?

If it doesn't flow, its gotta go!
Edit: also YT Capra! everyone past 2018.
Ibis Ripmo 40th Anniversary Special Edition, that's my favourite 🤤
Hands down the Reed SST and Reeb Steezl are the best looking bikes out there right now.
Coal 84 is real diamond amongst those bikes, hey a diamond is just coal under pressure isn’t it? Reminds me of a hand built watch with all the fine details!👌🏻👍🏻
The Coal for me, that floating shock dang! Beautiful
Forgot the Forbidden Dreadnought 😮
Tora bikes make an insane looking rig look very much like the old broolyn machine works but up to date
2012 to 2014 Niner Jet9Rdo is the most beautiful frame ever. But I’m biased.
I have a Jet9Rdo with xx1 drive, xtr brakes, Easton wheels, fox factory suspension
Coal 84 for the win, slightly bias as its mine😂 but even so
Commencal FRS/Furious for me!
My favorit looking bike is the scott spark 2022. And not because i just got one 😊
I don’t have extra money to buy a new bike. Although I don’t feel contented with my Santa Cruz Bronson, I should have to. 😅😅😅
Yeti SB5 totally tricked out with 27.5" ENVE Industry Nine and Chris King plus XX AXS
Fox factory
Santa Cruz-Grimm Donut
i carnt decide between the yeti and transition
Nukeproof scout 😏
We Are One's Arrival. \m/

Digit datum - such a clean design.
Transition Smuggler in Orchid is beautiful. You need to have a best looking hardtails next.
I will gladly take the bikes
Definitely a Transition both the Spur and Smuggler look ace.
Nukeproof Giga not mentioned 🤔 #MTBWeapon

I would love to get my hands on a 2013 commencal supreme dh. If I ever find one....I'm good forever
Surely....surely.... Pole's new "Onni" DH bike unvieled at Sea Otter wins the big dance???
Anna Cipullo was drooling as she showed us around it... although, I guess, technically you cannot buy it as of right now...... but WOW!!
It would be my first purchase if I won powerball!
I've recently bought a Nukeproof Reactor 290 Elite Carbon. I never wanted a Yellow bike but I love it. Trying to keep up with my 14 year old son. The bike I've had for years is a 1997 Marin Team Issue which even the 14yo agrees is gorgeous. I''d like to know if anyone else agrees

Have you ever seen Wildwood Cycles out of Vancouver Island, BC? Pretty Slick! Hand made titanium and steel works of art!
The Radon Jab 10.0 HD 2018 is awesome, black carbon fiber and the gold kashima coating. That thing is a beauty
Loved the coal 👍
old school: klein adroit, cannondale f700, current: cannondale scalpel hi mod ultimate. scott spark rc, KTM scarp master
Crossworx is unique, but it’s not great looking. Intense and Santa Cruz are just heinous compared to Mondraker and Transition.
That Transition looks like my 2009 Specialized FSR XC Expert. 26" or Die!
Gotta say I quite like the very standard looking bikes, but with strong colors. Th yellow norco sight comes to mind.
Glad you guys are in agreement that Mondraker made the list... 👍🏻
Yup, I am biased. 😊
Have you guys seen the Airdrop Slacker Luxe, one of the nicest Freeride bikes on the market.
2018 Rocky Mountain Slayer was art in motion. Somehow they pulled the henchman in a tux with that one.
Just got my first job 10 km from my house, now i’ve gotta get a bike to get there!
Missing hardtails! Santa Cruz Chameleon and Yeti Arc are beautiful
neuhaus hummingbird for a steel hardtail. It's just perfect.
Could we do the reverse of this series? Ugliest bikes? I nominate the specialized demo due to the mess of linkage
No love for banshee bikes?, I find the 2017 rune v2 in silver looks amazing
my fav bike is the COMMENCAL V5 with white fox forks!
No Spectral in Big Bamboo green? Or Marin Alpine Trail or Rift Zone XR or Carbon?
Yt Jeffsy Yt Capra. Specialized epic evo fezzari Delano peak
Canfeild has some sweet looking bikes
Spur... and then they completely ruin it if the external rear break hose.
IMO
Santa Cruz V10 new and old
Commencal Supreme V4
Unno Ever
TREK Ticket S “Prototype”
Intense current prototype
Neko Mullaly ALU/CARBON Frame
Getting to see Neko's Frameworks prototype up close when we visited the 5Dev factory was cool! A lot different to the bikes we featured here, but great looking in its own way.
