Thank you, I really appreciate that! It was a fun bike for sure. Now that I have a Canyon Spectral 29, I'd say my view on that video was a slight bit off in that it's more agile than I remember. Still not as easy to change direction as the 27.5 though! And funny enough, I actually have a San Quentin 3 and that was my first more legitimate mountain bike! Its an awesome bike
props to you for getting out there in those conditions! hopefully you enjoyed the Transition experience, although it's tough to really bond with a bike first time in that level of wet and slop. i'm on my second transition now, have the spire and absolutely love it! I too fought the 29'er for a while, but now i'm 29'er all the way with the spire as well as my HT. thanks for the content!
Haha if it helps I made the reservation like a couple weeks prior and took PTO so it would've been difficult not to!I definitely liked the bike, but I really want to see what mullets feel like. I also just feel so much more active on my evil, but yeah its just so hard to say without having more time on it!
One of my trail bikes had issues like that i doubled air pressure on both, i do like it stiff, remote lock out and when open id go thru my travel on my scott genius. This^ is in my top 3 bikes for next year 2024 enduro racing.
The price of so many dealership brands are painful. Like I want a santa cruz so badly, but I just can't pay those prices! I actually am about to have my maiden voyage on a new bike this weekend! Pretty excited@@johnsonjay60
I'm thinking of upgrading from my San Quentin 2 to this bike. Thanks for the content, this video was very helpful.

Yeah I understand and it can be frustrating. On a side not, I demoed the scott genius ST (with way too stiff settings) and holy hell that bike rips!
@pnwmountainbiker5098 it looks sooo sick. Been reading and watching about it 😆 on sale for 9k i do get dealer prices but still not sure
