Props to you for showing your product breaking. How many companies WOULDN'T do that? The abuse it took to get to that point though was stunning. No normal rider in normal circumstances would ever break them
These aren't made for people on a tight budget, they're made for people who have £6500 carbon full suspensions and a really good paying job with a little bit of money to spend, like Danny mac.
You'd be surprised how uncomfortable some carbon rims are to ride :) Some of those are so stiff it's ridiculous. A little bit of compliance in a rim is greatly underappreciated, and lack of is usually only noticed when your rims rattle with all your bones.
At my age I can hardly ride a bike . You had me on the edge of my seat riding yours.Some stunts I could hardly watch you do they were very clever also a bit dangerouse, but glad you made it in one piece even though the bike didnt. Anyway it was funt to watch.

Manuel Bedoya does not matter. These riders ride to the limits and can afford to bash the products till breaking point. It's just fun watching them do it.
Damn you, Santa Cruz. I was happy with my Diamondback Sync'r with Stan's wheelset, but after seeing this video I have my heart set on a Santa Cruz 5010 with factory carbon wheelset. Well played.
Just picked up my 2019 Hightower LT a couple weeks ago myself - upgraded the Fork to a 36 Factory and DT Swiss Xm 1501 Wheels. After watching this vid - I'm kind of regretting my wheel set. =( More so b/c I got 25mm internal width. Oh well!
Us mountain bike enthusiasts :woooww they seem indestructible *Checks the price * Oh snap already sold one kidney for my frame guess I will sell the other one to buy the front rim and stay on my old one on my back rim
Денни ты просто молодец ! Качество велосипеда Santa Cruz и его комплектующих на высоком уровне , но к сожаленью , не всем по карману , нещадно его уничтожать ! Спасибо за твои познавательные и остро рисковые ролики ! Здоровья тебе и вдохновения на новые работу!
John if you expect your money to buy rims that survive riding down stairs with no tires, you’ve wasted your money. This clearly shows that with tires the rims are pretty much indestructable
People prefer aluminium over carbon because if/when the wheels go, they bend and don't snap into oblivion. There are huge advantages to carbon rims of course but people don't want to use their faces as brakes when their carbon rim collapses in on itself.
Bradley Burns totaly, I know a guy that during a crash bent his ALUMINUM rim and he managed to bend it back just so he could get back to his car. If it was carbon he would've had to cary his bike all the way back to the car.
Forget the whole advertisement for a second. If you know how Enve tests their carbon rims and watch this, i cant help yourself but to be amazed how long it took for them to snap. To be honest on the very first jump i was already impressed...and yes i know Enve builds these for SC..
There are two types of abuse: acute and chronic. Most wheels that "feel solid" (these being no exception) can handle acute abuse. Hence the fixie pixie bragging about the strength of his wheels because he jumps curbs with them. Chronic abuse would be taking the wheels on a six month tour with loaded panniers, which is how I broke two rims and 7 spokes. Not as interesting a video though.
How did you manage to break those? I've ridden many a mile - some bad - with heavy loaded panniers on wheels I assembled myself, but I only managed to break spokes on my racing bike (with so-called aerodynamic, flattened spokes).
@@GiacomodellaSvezia Just riding. The wheels were 36 spoke, but they were MA3 rims, which aren't the strongest. Double walls but they only have eyelets through the outer wall. And the rear spacing was only 130mm. They were tensioned to proper spec with a Wheelsmith tensiometer. Roads were all over France, England, Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, and Germany so not terrible. Just the daily grind. Now I use 48 spoke wheels and Mavic T261 or Rigida Sputnik rims for touring, but I have no time to go on a long enough trip to really test them!
only 40 days after I purchased a Reserve wheel it broke on a regular ride on a singletrail. Right now I am waiting 25 days for replacement without getting any kind of information about the processing status of my warranty claim.
