Loved XC series and look forward to these trail bike reviews. Demoing a mountain bike is the ultimate test but these reviews help to focus on which bikes to try. Such good in depth analysis and cinematography.
Some very good bikes there!! I say you would have loved the Deviate Highlander 2 with it 145 rear and 160 fork and high pivot!! I have one and it really is a super trail bike!! Probably hard trying to get one to review!!
As someone who ends up on camera more often than they ever want to be, I appreciate your bloopers… ITS HARD TO BE SMILEY-SWEET AND POSITIVE AFTER 15 F*CKING TAKES 8 VIDEOS LATER. 😅
Rode South Mountain this weekend. Free advice don't misread the map and end up hike a biking over telegraph. Desert Classic was fun on the epic evo 7 and Short kept up mostly on her new epic World Cup.
Wish you guys would have added the yt jeffsy. Yt is often under reviewed and often Less than half the price of yeti, pivot, ibis etc with equal component kit. Would’ve been interesting to see where you placed it among the trail bikes.
@ I own a jeffsy due to the great snow out of the Sedona mtb festival. (I met you guys that day. Yall were so nice) I only got one bike demo in. It blew my mind so I bought one. Always wanted to try a ripmo and switchblade but tbh the ripmo and switchblade were way out of my price range. Same thing happened when I wanted an ibis ripley and ended up with an epic evo. 😂 thanks for the response keep up the good work!!
Hey guys which one of these bikes does the best job of plowing and smoothing out rock gardens? Or do i need to move up to a bike with 160mm travel or more?
@ yeah. I was a super Trek hater until a fuel ex gen 6 landed in my lap. I’ve tested over 30 bikes at this point and it’s absolutely amazing. Blown away with its versatility.
@@Kovacs-sf1hi Yes, they got the shock tune right, finally. I buy quality suspension or get it tuned so all the bikes I build are sublime. I'm not a Trek hater but we see a lot of reviews for them so with a limited number of slots I like to see smaller brands.
Unfortunately we don’t have a direct contact there to source any bikes. We tried to reach out through our friend’s bike shop but not sure anyone ever got the message. It would be awesome to include them, they make great bikes for sure!
We tried reaching out to them multiple times but unfortunately we don’t have a direct contact. If you know anyone there feel free to have them get in touch!

i find it crazy that MO and H got better trail bikes than PinkBike. You guys are killing it.
Thank you so much!!! More coming soon!!!
But does Mo have an annoying yet possible climb?
@@ProWhiteAntiJew or poetry… brah, stop ruminating, its a bike. 😅
@@ProWhiteAntiJew I mean it's pretty rare to get a bad bike nowadays. So reviews have to be opinion based, also wtf is your username bud .
Definitely an awesome production, great video with in-depth descriptions of all bikes and sponsored components and gear , you guys ROCK 🤘🏼
Thanks so much!!!! More where that came from!!!!
Subscribed!
Didn't knew your channel,but now I'm all over it,awesome lineup of bikes in this test,and great energy.
Can't wait for the next video!
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy!!
This is the Trail Bike line up I would pick if I were choosing. This is perfect! Can't wait to watch this series.
Thank you!!! Hope you enjoy!!!!
Wow - what a selection! I’m enjoying this series and can’t wait to see the conclusion.
Thank you!!!
Very cool to get all of these bikes together for a head to head. Looking forward to the series!
Thanks so much!!!! Hope you like it!!!

Stoked to see the reviews!!
Thanks man!!! Hope you have been great!!!
Cant wait to hear about the Trance X 👍🏽 debating on it
You guys are legends! So excited to see how these bikes stack up! I've got an Offering on the way, so I'm hoping it gets a glowing review 😅
Going to be interesting to see how this review ranks the bikes compared to PinkBike’s review! Looking forward to the upcoming vids!
Thank you!!!!
Im only 2min and 30sec in and feel your insights are more clearly communicated than PB
Thank you!!
Whoa that’s a lot of bikes! Nice set btw
Thank you!!!!
Impressive list of bikes for comparison! Like the old Bible of bike test days. Pink Bike’s recent test fleet pales in comparison!
Thanks for watching!!
Impressive, most impressive
Thank you!!!!

Would love to test one! I think we reached out to them and never heard anything back
Description says Evil Following but video is an Offering, just a heads up! Stoked for the review
Good catch!! Fixed, thank you!!!!!

Such a fun zone! Epic is great!!!!
Thanks for you reviews on the Best Trail Bike in 2025. I am waiting for the Giant review - are you still going to publish it?
Putting pinkbike to shame 🤫
I would love to know how the WAO Arrival compares to these 👀
Would love to test that!
Pretty good selection. Have you ever tested the Primer S 29? With the Ohlins suspension it's in the price range of these bikes.
We haven't but will add to the list!!!
Wish you guys would have added the yt jeffsy. Yt is often under reviewed and often Less than half the price of yeti, pivot, ibis etc with equal component kit. Would’ve been interesting to see where you placed it among the trail bikes.
We don't have YT but we have Propain and ARI which should be comparable price point wise! The Jeffsy is awesome though!!

Where is Hightower ?
We tried to include them but unfortunately didn't hear back!
You guys are missing Revel.
yeah...was hoping to see a new rascal v2 in there....happy to see the giant trance X!
wish buy ibis.hope to know which one the best stable
Can you review dartmoor rocbird? Thanks
Never heard of it! We will check it out!
@ thats a polish brand that is famous here in Philippines because of its price is good but quality
No love for Trek Fuels?
Why did the scor 4060 not make it in this test?
YT Jeffsy painfully absent
The Jeffsy is a great bike! We have reviewed it a few times now at their demo center but haven’t heard anything from YT. Hopefully the next shoot out!

Stay tuned!!!!
Did you get a raptor
Possibility for sure!
😎👊
Thank you!
Every big brand BUT Trek :(
Good. Trek is boring.

No Trek. Trek is only in the top three biggest bike companies. It would have won too.

Waste of money bunch of BS
