Thanks for watching The Evil Offering Video! - กีฬา
Please join me Wednesday, October 16th at 8:30 PM MST here on TH-cam for a live-stream to discuss all think EVIL The Offering and just hang out and chat! What questions do you have about the Offering??? Please comment below and we'll see you here Wednesday evening!
How would you compare it to the ripmo? And also what are your thoughts on the ripmo af?
Bow wow. Bowwow bawow bow bow bowowowowow. Ruf
@mtbyumyum I have a $600 question. Is the Offering Gx build worth $600 more than the Hightower Gx build?
I’m looking at this and the Hightower. You Mae a climbing comparison but would love to hear your overall impressions of the Offering vs Hightower. Climbing, descending, tight stuff, air time...thanks!
absolutely, this will be a major topic on Wednesday evening!
I was torn between the Offering, SB130, SB150, and Ripmo. After demo's, I ended up on the Offering with the SB130 being a close 2nd. To me, the Offering really split the difference between the SB130 and SB150 on paper and in how they felt on the trail.
Dude, thank you for your comment. I think a lot of people will read this and it will be helpful. and I completely agree....
Where do you live? I live in Indiana, it's somewhat flat. I'm considering SB130 or Offering but thought the yeti, since I only travel 1-2 times a year, and again, it's not too rough out here.
This comment spoke to me thank you!
Could you do a list of your favorite bikes of the season since it seems like mtbing is winding down for the year in your neck of the woods. Like you said, there's lots of good bikes out there but I'd like to hear which one's really made an impression.
yeah, that would be a super fun video... just need to thing of a clever way to produce and film it. Thanks!
Agreed, should have favourite bikes in each category
@@BobBob-fk4wo yeah, that would be fun!
This is on my short list of possible replacements for the Troy, can't wait to ride one. Thanks for the review, dyude!
Yeah dude! It was a lot of fun for how big it is. Still need to get on a Troy...
DirtWireTV How do you like it compared to the split pivot? My devnci was a great technical climber.
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work! I’ve been on my Offering for the whole season now and love it. I didn’t mind giving up a little of the climbing efficiency of my Ripley LS for the seating position of the Offering. I’m nearly 6’ and find my medium to be a good size, in case anyone is wondering.
thanks for mentioning... I think a lot of people who used to ride large bikes (5'9"-5'11") could be super happy on the Offering in a medium for sure....
Agreed, this thing was really fun on the descents but I have a lot of technical climbing in my area and this thing got hung up so often that it fell off my shortlist pretty quickly after a 25 mile demo ride.
Yeah, wished it climbed a little better....
Nice that your giving Sports Den some love. Been our go-to neighborhood shop as well. I think they just started carrying Evil. I bought a couple of Konas from them last year - Hei Hei CR/DL 29 & Big Honzo 27.5 Love them both! Not sure if you’ve done any Kona reviews. For fun, and something a little different, take a Big Honzo hardtail out on Jacob’s Ladder for a review. That’d be a hoot!
You do great work!
Brett, thank you! Yeah, guys over at Sports Den are all great... EVIL must be new for them.... I'll be sure to get out on a Kona and as well.
MTB yumyum I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, so no pressure! Looks like they came out with a carbon version of the BHonzo this year. I wasn’t sure how I’d like riding a hard tail again, but it really is a super fun bike. Get the tire pressure dialed in on the 2.8’s and I almost forget I’m riding a hard tail.

@@brettneuberger6466 nice, I'll check it out!
Thanks for mentioning Ibis Ripley....a game changer...i own one too...great bike... both uses DW link.
Yeah, I've been so happy with my Ripley... it's incredible!
You've definitely helped make my decision. I have a '19 Following MB for flow and traversy trails and a '19 Bronson for the janky DH and park. I've been debating selling both and just getting an Offering. I'm going to demo one in the next couple of weeks. I'll definitely be tuning in for the live stream :)
Chump MTB I had a 2016? Bronson which I liked a lot but wanted to get back to a 29’er so I got an Ibis Ripley LS. Great bike but I missed the extra travel and got the Offering. It really is the best of both worlds for me. Amazing bike, definitely demo one. I’m almost always a large frame but the medium Offering felt better for me.
Chump, I honestly don't think you're giving anything up moving from the Following to the Offering.... and it will handle your Bronson duty just fine... excited to see how your demo goes in a few weeks. I dont think you'll be disappointed
Make sure you demo. To me the Offering has lost the fun of the Following MB.
@@gweflj Yeah, that was my main concern. I'm not a big fan of super long bikes. The Offering has a longer reach than even the Bronson, so that will be something I pay attn to when I test ride, for sure
YAAYYYY You Finally Reviewed the Offering!!!!! I already own one and love it, don't care what else is out there, have all I ever wanted
haha yeah, I had so much fun on this Offering!!!
Not sure if you’ve taken a break or if I just haven’t seen your vids for some reason - but I’m glad you’re back on my feed! Missed your vids dude!
haha yeah, didn't upload regularly this year... was sort of shooting for 2 uploads per month but I'd like to get back to once a week with 2 live chat's per month... I really enjoy the community here at yumyum and just like hanging out chatting... I really want to get some group mtb trips planned if people are interested.... planning on talking about that on Wednesday night...
MTB yumyum sounds good! Yeah, community is good isn’t it. What time is your stream? I’m UK bases but will join if possible!
@@010MACS 8:30 PM MST Oct 16th
MTB yumyum pretty sure that’s 330am for me - so I may have to catch the upload! Cheers again for the vids man 😊
MTB yumyum - Jason, consider doing timestamps of the topics discussed in the livestream in the description of the video or even better, in the comments since those get hyperlinked. A guitar channel I follow does this and it’s super helpful for long videos like these.
Man those skis are so short now days. My last set of skies were 203 Atomic slaloms 1990 era. Mountain biking is my substitution for skiing out here in the middle of the country.
I really want to demo an Offering next time I am in Moab. Looks like a really fun bike.
Dude, it's a super fun bike for sure. Yeah, ski's have changed a lot in the past 15+ years...
Great review again Jason 👍
thanks dude!
I've gone to one of these from a large orignal hightower. I went for a large offering as I wanted something more planted. It's a great bike and I know that, but the jump in reach from the hightower is taking a while to get used to. I need to change my riding position quite a bit. I've ridden bikes since the 90's and ride off the back - still. I'm 6ft and could have gone medium offering, but that would have just been too close to the HT geowise. DELTA link is stunning.
Dude, Mike, the DELTA link is unreal... there's nothing like it I dont think... Yeah, the Offering was a total ripper and really felt comfortable loading up the front of the bike in the turns.... lots of traction and confidence on this bike!
Good review Jason! I'll tune in the live chat to see your thoughts on this vs the Hightower.
I don't know what it is, but been on the New Hightower on three different occasions and even one for a 39 mile ride, it just feels sort of blah. It climbs great, suspension eats everything up no problem, but the bike doesn't feel lively and juiced and agile. I thought the Tallboy was more agile for sure but honestly, I need to get on the Rimpo and Ripley next.
I saw the Ripley at the shop the other day in black, man that is a gorgeous looking frame. For me it might be the ripmo just because I can only get one and need something to handle Utah, CO, NM chunky rocky mtn's and the ability to climb but I want a livelier feeling bike. I hope to experience that with the Ripmo or Ripley.
Everyone is hype on the Revel Rascal, need to try that one too. The Tallboy blew me away though on how deep that 120mm suspension felt, it feels more like 130mm of travel and it didn't seem to blow through the travel the way the old VPP bikes did.
Yeah, you're spot on.... the dw on the Ibis bikes has a lot more life to it. I think you'll find the Rimpo has a lot more pop to it than the Hightower. I rode the hightower, offering and ripmo all back to back on the same day and same trails and the offering lefty me smiling the most although it was maybe a little more taxing to climb on... If I were you, and you think your riding style could get away with it, go for the Ripley at 140mm fork....
@@mtbyumyum I'm highly considering that. I will get on one soon, just not sure 120mm will cut it on descents. I really felt the Tallboy had such good rear suspension over rocky descents, roots, and chattery stuff. Your video seems to indicate the TB has better rear but the Ripley climbs better. I did feel the pedal bob on the Tallboy. I guess its a trade off, do I want a great climber or a better descender? Or great climber that is more agile, ahhh, with a 140 Pike? Hmmm.
I love mine. Only down side is it’s heavy compared to other 140 bikes.
I’m 5’10 and also ride a MED.
thx for a great vid!
5'10" on a medium... I figured a lot of people your height would probably go with a medium... I think the new Hightower is heavier... just saying....
Great review, this is the one that I've been waiting for!
you and everyone else.... I've had so many requests for this bike.
TY!!! Been so waiting for your review of this bike! Can’t wait to hear your dissection Wednesday. A seed, a kernel for Wednesday: does it warrant the hassle of parting with my 1yo, dialed, 28lb 2018 sb5.5 (climbing, descending & jumping)?! Or should it be a Ripmo? Or your current all mountain RM Instinct BC?!!
1 little nugget... the sb5.5 was a crazy bike for it's time.... climbed really well and descended like a beast. That said, the Offering is more fun, jumps better but doesn't climb as well.... 1 more nugget, I'm Jason ;)
MTB yumyum TY = thank you
Nice one! Be cool to see ski , fat bike in snow & snow hiking vids too & . Keep it up!!
yep! Thanks. Planning on uploading more ski content this winter... I've struggled to upload the past 2 winters so I hope everyone can handle a little winter sports action here at yumyum!!!
Man that is a nice bike! I currently own a Niner RIP 9 RDO, in 27.5 wheel size purchased it July and 150/140 travel is for me great!! You do some of the best bike reviews, notice you like to wear a lot of different gear. Any chance you would ever consider reviewing bike clothing and accessories? Noticed those 100% gloves and would like to hear real life feedback on the gear also! Channel is great Jason, Yewwww
Yeah, I sort of did a gear review video.... was a month or so ago... think it's called mtb yumyum bike and gear review. the 100% gloves are the briskers... good in lower temperature days when its cold out
Hi Jason, can you review the new Norco Optic 2020?
Offering seems legit. Im just waiting for Evil's whole new lineup soon, coz 3 out of the 5 are already so ancient.
Interesting. Didn't the Offering just come out a year ago?
@@mtbyumyum thats what Im saying. Only the Offering would appeal to dudes wanting 'modern or progressive' geo; the Insurgent is what, 5yo? I wont be surprised if theyre gonna put out bikes so wildly different from current offerings itll start a new wave. Again.
I would take any bike in their line-up... even old. They are cool!
@@boylagz Yeah, I guess we'll see.... but the offering is so good right now how it is?!?!?!?
@@mtbyumyum haha, I have no doubt/s that its bltchin esp on the descents. Does a med frame have enough to fit a 170mm dropper?
Nice bike shop to keep them all in stock, CC sells Evil but naturally you cant demo from them. I know someone who used to work at a bike shop in NC and recently moved to Utah, he works for CC---26 mph ++++ is FAST
haha yeah, cc is a good option as well... you'll have to ride Jacob's if youre ever out here?!
Well IF I could handle the climb I am sure it would be fun but 26+ is WAY beyond my speed and skill limit--I will be 64 in December so I consider myself an old man who stays in shape, I do what I can do.I fully agree that nearly every major brand has a respectable bike available that the average rider would be fully pleased with.Some EURO online bike shops sell studded bike tires for reference
Front triangle looks like the old Jet 9!
yeah, good eye.. it sort of does... my buddy Parker has been riding Niner for the last year or so and love them!
You ever try wearing some of the newer lightweight full faced helmet? You should give it a try especially in cooler weather. Also, haven’t seen you ride with Parker in a while.
Yeah, I actually bought a TLD stage helmet almost a year ago.... I've still yet to wear it. Do you wear one? Just feels a bit unusual and sort of claustrophobic....
I purchased an MET Parachute which I wear on cool days, 70 F and below and I like it, but it is not without its drawbacks. They are a not so good above 70 because when you stop your head starts to bake and I don’t like it at low speeds, like climbing, because when you breath out and the air kind of blows back in your face. You can mitigate this by lowering your head and allowing air to flow between your mouth and chin guard, but then your neck may begin to ache a bit with your head in this position . The Troy Lee might have less of an issue with blow back than the MET because it ‘s mouth piece is a bit more open. Just wondering what your experience has been with these newer lightweight full face helmets. When I watched your video in the cool weather I was surprised you were not wearing one and wondered if it was because you didn’t like it or simply have not tried. When it is warm I wear a Troy Lee A1, which I love. When it is colder I switch to the full face helmet for added warmth and protection.
Yes, I've been waiting for this one. Excited for the live chat Wednesday night. This or the Ripmo? Why?
Yep, we'll talk about the Ripmo, Hightower, SB130, Instinct, at the live stream on Wednesday! Thanks!
What was the verdict at the live chat? Came here a bit late ha
Solid video again! I love my Calling. Evil bikes are really fun. Do you think the medium was a perfect fit for you?
Honestly, it was a good fit but it felt a little big... long in the reach... Have you ridden it yet? Loved the Calling!
MTB yumyum no I haven t had the chance yet but looking forward to it. I m thinking about changing it for a 29er. I think my Calling has the perfect reach. I demoed the Process 134 which I really liked but there s something about my Evil that I really like. I m thinking Following or Offering but I ll have to demo them before choosing I think. Winter is coming here too so it might be at the beginning of next season... at that point maybe there will be a new Following ...
@@asselinpower yeah, possibly.... good luck and happy winter!!! I honestly cant wait for winter. This is my favorite time of year... biking is incredible but ski season it right around the corner!
I rode this bike last week through NJ chunk(rubble pile) . Fantastic bike, that being said, I also thought the Yeti 130 was as as good or better..
yeah, the sb130 is a rad trail bike for sure! climbs really well for the category too
Been a fan since day one! Is it just me or do you have an affinity for the DELTA on descents? 😜
I’ve been riding a Wreckoning for the past 6 months. And as much as it’s more of a grunt going up, it’s the plushest bike I’ve ever ridden. And your review of it absolutely made me consider Evil Bikes for over a year now.
Would you recommend the Offering over a Hightower for a one bike quiver-killer 29er?
Thank you! The Offering maybe wouldn't me my one bike quiver killer but it would be my pick over the Hightower... more on this at the Live stream Wednesday evening!
Keep up the great work! Hope you can make it out to LA one day.
Yeah, that would be awesome!
Cool bike and a very good review! Shame Evil didn't route all the cables internally I think it just looks a bit scrappy for an expensive bike. Nice jacket too by the way man! Thanks, Adrian
Thank you!
I’d love to get your take on the Offering V2 compared to your Pivot. Both rad rides
I really enjoyed my rides on The Offering when trying to decide, but ultimately went with Hightower as the cockpit felt more comfortable (I didn't have ability to adjust much) and I felt the climbing was better on the HT...hence admittedly gave up some of the poppy fun on the descents to get better overall performance from the HT. That said...the fact that every video encompasses some kind of "just by the Ripley", I'm getting closer and closer to becoming a two bike guy...
Yeah, I felt like the hightower was a slightly better climber as well.... haha, Yeah, I know but it's hard not to just tell everyone to get the Ripley... I've been loving it!
" you got weird heels"!!... Classic!!
haha I edited out the part where Tyler explains his heels hurt from the cold and the rest of his foot doesn't hurt because it's to cold and he cant feel them lol I wish I could leave more of the funny stupid parts of our rides in the edit but the video's would be 40+ minutes long....
Offering or Rocky Mountain Instinct?
They're different... the Instinct would make a better all day bike in my opinion but the Offering is more fun, descends better and is just a party on wheels!
Awesome bike great video 👍😊🚵♀️
thanks dude!
I demo'd one with a 160mm DVO fork and it was awesome. Would be interesting to see how it compares to the Ripmo with similar travel up front instead of the stock 140 config.
Yeah, I actually rode the Offering and Ripmo back to back the day after I filmed this video... along with the Hightower as well... Honestly, the Pike was impressive! And, yes... This Offering with a 150-160mm fork would be very interesting!
Dear evil bikes could you please send me one for Lifetime testing will be returned after death. Oh yeah I almost forgot medium please..
The bike I’d like to see you ride would be the DEVIATE !!
My reason is you have ridden so many bikes! A lot quite similar! But the Deviate is unique currently being test ridden by a chap called McTrail Rider on YT and that Evil you’re on was his old bike !
Awesome video as always...
Hey! Thanks dude!
What was more fun to descend on? The offering or the new hightower?
Offering but the new Hightower is no slouch... I'd take the Delta link Offering every time though... so good!
I have a V1 following, I'd love to jump over to the offering. But this has boost spacing, so my knights carbons won't work..ugh
NEW WHEEL DAY TOO!!! LOL
@@mtbyumyum Ya, I'll start taking donations ..lol.
You have any experience with the spacing adapters ?
I've never personally use them but I know people who have had them in the past and they've been trouble-free
Do you ever demo direct to consumer bikes like Fezzari, Canyon, YT, etc?
I got the chance to ride YT a few weeks ago.... videos should come out in the next month or so!
@@mtbyumyum Sweet! Psyched for that one! Love your videos!
Awesome review dude , I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE YOU DEMO THE CANYON , TORQUE , AND THE SENDER , Hey Canyon IF YOURE LISTENING, Please SEND J THE Torque CF 9:0 to demo -......... Hes 5’8” and rides a medium.! Thank you Canyon 🤣👍🏽🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾👏👏👏👏!,,
Thanks for another great vid! Currently looking at a new bike, short list has the Offering, RM Instinct (non BC edition), and the new High Tower. Would love to hear your opinion on how they compare.
Hightower might climb just a little better than the Offering... the Instinct leaves them both in the dust on the uphills!
Awesome. I assume descending is the same order just in reverse. Is the RM far behind the other two in descending?
@@chriszeegs I would say the Instinct is on par with the rest of the 140mm bikes descending... the Hightower and Offering are the stand out's in the category imho I would compare the Instinct to be more like the Yeti sb130 and YT Jeffsy...
YumYum, like you said there are so many great bikes right now but I can only buy one! If you kept your Ripley but also wanted a bike that climbs almost as well but handled the downs better what would you get between The Offering, new Hightower, Ripmo or new Norco Sight?
(I have a Ripley 4 with a fox 36 and absolutely love it but want to add to my fleet)
Thanks for all the great reviews!
Interesting.... I would love to try the Ripley w a fox 36 out front... wonder how close it would feel to a ripmo...
@@mtbyumyum I've only done a parking lot test on the Ripmo so I couldn't speak to that but I highly recommend it for folks that ride anywhere with more than just flow trails.
The Ripley felt so capable but the front end and actually the rear would start to feel overwhelmed when going through long sections of rocks or roots. The 36 Grip2 at 140 seemed to make the bike come alive! I ended up finding a DPX2 shock in the right size and put the largest volume spacer in it as well.
Most would say why not buy a Ripmo but the little bit of extra weight was offset by me getting a lighter stem, bar and wheelset. It's still a short travel rocket! It didn't take away from it's climbing ability either, if anything I would say it's better because of the added grip from the well sorted suspension.
Yer not the only turkey out there !!
haha we see a big group of those guys from time to time... so funny
you should ride a Fezzari and give a review of them.
Yeah, I've heard they're snazzy bikes
Pike or Lyrik / Rock Shox vs Coil ... decisions decisions !
The pike was good! Guess it depends on how big you send it...??
MTB yumyum I send some text messages, I send some emails 🤷🏻♂️ hahaha
Sometimes I send attachments SO BIG gmail tells me I need to compress the file #sendit
@@ginorocco275 lol
Does this one climb as good as the Ripmo? lol love your videos
Nope, not as good as the Ripmo... honestly, I thought the new Hightower climbed better... and it doesn't climb as well as the Ripmo.
@@mtbyumyum That Ripmo is just so good, anything else in this category i should look at that rivals the climbing of the Ripmo? Kona Process is the best climbing bike I have owned.
New Pivot Switchblade is incredible!!
My problem is I demo'ed this bike months after my other 2 choices. I'm interested in the ripmo and the offering and the 130.. My home trails are more cross country in Indiana but I do travel. I don't mind having more travel than I need. That being said climbing is kind of important. Thoughts?
given what you've said, I would maybe go with the sb130 or Ripmo... they both climb better than the Offering
Me too I live in Indiana (southern, near O'Bannon Woods). I'm considering SB140 and Offering, leaning toward the yeti. Anything change since your post here?
You ever throw a leg over the new Following?
Have you already done a head to head with the Evil Following and Ibis Ripmo? Im super torn between these two bikes. Im coming off an Evil Calling which is my play bike, but I desperately need something that is more stable for the trails I ride
Both are excellent. If climbing is part of the equation then it's easy, go with the Ripmo!
So I know you are building a Rascal for yourself but is it you favorite “one bike”. If not, what is? Thanks
I'm torn between the Offering and Ripmo... I ride out in AZ with lots of chunky technical climbs and chunky technical descents. I'm coming from a 27.5 140/160 bike that was playful and easy to pop around, but a terrible climber(73* STA). I want something plush, playful, that can handle technical climbs and rough descents that isn't afraid to leave the ground and can also do a 20-25 mile technical XC style circuit... What do I do!
Well, the good news is you've landed on probably the two most Poppy and play full 29ers in the mid travel category. So you're on the right track. The ripmo climbs better having ridden both these bikes back to back. And I don't think the offering is really any more playful or fun. So for me, I'd go with the ripmo.
@@mtbyumyum Thanks man! Would you say one is more plush than the other? Lots of chunky fast descents in AZ!
Honestly, they're very similar. The offering might feel a little bit more bottomless where the ripmo feels more hoverbike and floats along the top of everything real well.
Last question, if you had to pick the Ripmo V1 or Evil Offering for the trail you shot the Ripmo V2 video in, which would you pick? That looks very similar to what I ride!
Either one would be more than adequate honestly. But I would go Ripmo personally...
Did you not go to outer bike this year in Moab.
No, unfortunetly I didn't make it down there... that's an incredible way to demo all these bike though! Are you local?
@@mtbyumyum No I live in Virginia went to outer bike this year it was amazing. Only reason I went was because of your videos in the past. Keep up the good content
@@Johnmarkoffline Nice, glad you got a chance to go! Not the best trails Moab has to offer but an incredible venue in an amazing part of the world!
With the bike being so long for a medium, do you think downsizing would be more comfortable?
No, the medium was the right bike for me at 5'8"
Which bike do you like better ? Sb130 or this 140 offering ?
they're different... sb130 climbs better and still descends really well but the EVIL is more fun, more plush... they're just different. Maybe we talk about this on Wednesday evening?! Have you ridden either bike?
MTB yumyum oh ok. I haven’t tried either one of them.. I’m on the market for a new frame and i don’t know which one to get 😂 i live in the PNW 90% of the really nice trails over here needs climbing.
@@Sr5RoameR Yeah, if you climb a lot you might go with the Yeti sb130 honestly.... the Offering wasn't great and for rides longer than 2 hours I'd want something different if it were my only bike... call Chris at Salt Cycles here in Utah... he's got amazing deals on Yeti right now and we just recently did a little promotion for him so he's taking extra care of yumyum subscribers! #801-943-8502
How do you feel the Offering compares to the Following? I’m seriously thinking about buying a Following, but going with the Offering sometimes creeps into my mind.
It's been a minute from the time I last rode the Following MB but as I remember, the Offering it similar and better in every way... would be interesting to ride them back to back
Great video as always. Can you review the new ripmo af?
I've had a lot of requested for the Ripmo af... anyone on here ridden one?
@@mtbyumyum i own one now with the coil shock. It rides like a dream its an xl with the nx build and its just amazing. It decends like a dh bike and climbs extremely well. No bob at all with the shock open. And only weighs 33 lbs.
How tall are you Esteban? I'm between large and xl.
@@richardulrich7142 im 6'4 and went with an xl..
I sat on someone's large and it felt small. I'm a hair under 6'2". More people need to make videos on the af
hey dude will ye review the new Wrecker? Love B
How would you compare the Offering to the Calling? What is given up/gained? Thanks!
@mtb yumyum pick one - hightower, offering, or SB130? and why? im at a stalemate with the three......
Great video! If only evil would make their bikes 27.5+
The Offering fits 27.5+" x 2.8" tires according to Evil.
Travis Hunt NICE!!
Awesome review! I am looking forward to a yt jeffsy review :)
YT jeffsy review should be uploaded in a month or so🤙
@@mtbyumyum I am looking forward to it. Your reviews are great 👍
As a one bike what are the advantages of this vs the Hightower?
slightly lighter weight and a bit more "cool" factor in my book... just has a great feel when riding it... I'm sure we'll talk more about this on Wednesday evening!
Cool, I'll be listening
@@nealbrooker4295 Nice, see you there!
When is generally the last weekend of riding that trail for the season?
it actually drains water really well so as long as the snow doesn't come you can ride it most of the winter.... typically ride-able till the first part of December then depending on the snow you can start riding it again by the end of February or early March
@@mtbyumyum sweet..rode trip down from the North Shore in the works, possibly
is there any chance for devinci troy 29 review?
Yes. Sports Den is also a Devinci dealer so I'll take one out for sure! Have you ridden one?
@@mtbyumyum not yet prob will soon, and probably going to buy it. it has the best spec for the price up here in canada. we have high taxes on foreign made bikes
@@Wolfkan be sure to check out the Rock Mountain Instinct as well... still to this day one of my favorites!
does the new rock shox reverb work well at low temperatures?
How does it compare to the Yeti sb130 or the sb150?
great question, planning on talking about this more on Wednesday evening at the live stream... fits right between them in my opinion!
What were the bikes your friend were riding?
Ski season?!? FAT BIKE!!!
Yeah, I'll upload a fat bike video... I've been a few times but never felt the desire to film it... this is the season!
How would you compare to Yeti SB130/150 (or, preferably 130LR)?
I've still not ridden the 130 LR... it just feels different than a Yeti to be honest... but between the 130 and 150 for sure
@@mtbyumyum Thanks for the quick reply! I read something similar down below. Trying to decide between the This, a LR or 150
LR130 would be tough to beat...
Does the external cable routing bug you at all?
it's a non issue for me... it would look better but I don't mind...
Did they only have a size medium for you to ride? if they had a small would you have tried that size instead? Which would you recommend being 5-8?
I didn't have a small size option... medium felt spot on and I'm 5'8"
Which better bike to you. Yeti 140 or evil offering?
Really depends what you want to do with it and what wheel size you prefer...
For that kind of money they should of at least made internal cable routing! My buddy just bought the offering last week btw..
Hard to find Evil demos in BC too. :(
yeah, it's interesting... I've liked all their bikes!
How much its price

The bike actually climbs great 🙄
I know it was a mistake, your description says "tail truffles" on the second line. Unless they are some kind of gator meat deal. Ha, ha, jk...
haha thank you, changing it now!
demo the insurgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turkeys 😂
haha I know right! So funny seeing those guys on the trail :)
I think you need to ride it on something steep. To me the head angle felt at least a degree too steep even with the suspension in the X-low setting when I was riding something with consequence. Although I don’t don't doubt it felt great on those trails. I might have been spending too much time on the Stumpy Evo which to be fair, makes everything feel sketch.
haha yeah, moving from the stumpy evo I would imagine everything feels a bit twitchy lol Honestly, I felt the geo was really good!
Have you ridden the Devinci troy? If so how does this compare!? Thanks !
