    It's interesting that the "most active bike" had the best climbing performance here. Goes to show you that a high anti-squat isn't everything, especially if you're climbing in the PNW. The trend has been towards stiff and progressive bikes lately but there's a strong argument to be made for more active suspension, especially if you aren't racing or hunting KOMs.

      I was going to argue that 'best climbing performance' is more complicated than being able to more easily traverse difficult terrain. But a better ability to even REACH the top is obviously key.
      To finish first, first you must finish.
      I tend to think of climbing as either efficient or not. But you're right.

    The Trance X winning makes sense. Active suspension bikes are the best for climbing junky, technical sections because they find traction and hep you keep your footing. Climbing on xc ski trails or roads and climbing on tech should honestly be two different categories. Personally I don’t care how a bike climbs on fire roads because I don’t do boring climbs. I always take the bike trail up.

      @@bananasstuff3344 yes, but are also a consumable which will wear out and/or might be swapped even at the point of sale (at least for LBS purchases). Tires are also region specific: a tire that might work great in Sedona or SoCal might be weak in Squamish and v/v. This is why tests - imho correctly - often go with control tires. Yes, this is called a value bike comparison, but with prices varying 50% to...250%, i think results are skewed. If we were talking a much stricter price variation having "just" $1200 ΗΤs +/- 10%, yes, what is OEM is important, but if I was to buy a Ripley AF and whatnot, I'd probably swap a tire to work with the area/season I'm working with.

But if you go through it, you will see the disparity: e.g. nowhere in their casual discussion was the Trance X or the Rift Zone or the Growler the "above average pedallers" etc, perhaps to an extend exactly because those came with the "more enduro" / knobbier/meatier rear tires, which ofc are a pain to pedal with all-day, but would give you the edge @ rougher / technical short climbs.

      I drove trucks for a living, I know equally well there's no substitute for dropping down gears and keeping the engine in the sweet spot. In this case, the engine is of course, me, and I find I have better traction control with more options. The least I can see myself doing is a 2x.

      I have a ten speed that came on a bike I bought. The low gear is not low enough. The high gear, the peddles top out at about 24 mph. And is frustrating downhill. It is only 300 gram or so lighter than my XT triple set up. Me old marin quad Tara crawls up narly trails with ease.
      Maybe a 12 or 13 speed would be an improvement on the mid range 10 I have. But personally, not impressed with 1X systems. In Yorkshire. There are hills. Lots of hills. Often the 10 speed has me walking up hill. The marin never lets me down. And for riding all day. The triple, covers everything.

Besides that, old tech is cheaper and I can always lob on the old MegaRange set...51t ftw, ten minute job.

      @@ZhengZL69 I have a growler and I can guarantee I'd be much better at climbing on literally any other steeper angled hardtail, I've only ridden one other bike uphill so far but the difference in climb performance is ultimately down to how skilled you are as a rider. All this said, it's still fair to make said video because it has some value; the tires and setups of the bikes do matter quite a bit for harder technical climbing, and having a slightly less skilled rider hosting the videos helps to demonstrate how the average rider is likely to handle the bikes on a climb. Mike is an extremely proficient rider, and it's fair to say he'd likely be able to do this specific climb a bit easier than she managed to. However without being there and trying that climb yourself it's hard to make judgements, seeing as it may be much trickier than video makes it seem 😃
      P.S. I want to emphasize that nobody should be hating on her climbing techniques, everyone is out there trying to have a good time, and I'm sure she was trying hard to make it up those climbs.
      I do feel that it would maybe have been interesting to have them do 5 tries on each bike to see if she could have learned the climb lines a bit better on each frame before moving to the next one, since it's easy to hit one root and be tossed (and that isn't a fair judgement of the bikes performance).

    "Do any climbs favor hard tails?" Anything more than a smooth surface and a full suspension wins, I don't know how pro XC racers use hard tails on the gnarly courses they have to race now. I learned the misconception of "hard tails climb better because more power gets to the tire." True, right up until the rear tire hits literally anything. Root, Rock, slight bump in the dirt, anything that can ram into the tire makes the bike stop dead, any bump in the trail bounces you off the seat, they're a bitch to use for climbs.

    No offense to Sarah but I think this trial depends more on Skill than the bikes. Although, having rear suspension is an advantage ( helps generate more traction) choosing the smoother line is probably the priority. It also depends on the person's physical traits, meaning, one person may perform better on another bike and vice versa. I would probably have some issues myself with that climb - it seems like there is a rock garden among root, etc. which I know can be a pain!
    The Ripley should've surpassed the Marin and Giant. It has a reputation for being one of, if not, the best climber on the market!

      The ibis had pretty much all around poor performance this entire test, along with the latest video showing the tire literally contacts the frame at bottom out, not even sure how a legitimate bike company makes a mistake like that. At the beginning of the test I totally thought the ibis was the best and wanted that one. I'd far rather go with the trance, Marshall, or rift zone over the Ripley now. Ibis needs to put in some more work before releasing their next bike.
