What do you think of these bikes?
that giant looks so sick
If they make the suspension so hard, why not ride hard tails. All said the bikes look awesome
R O C K H A R D
cool to see a triple crown suntour fork
I don't think you can say it rains cats and dogs anymore these days. You might give Trump ideas.
Please stop saying FORKS!!! Itโs a suspension fork!!! Fork! As in not plural!!! Itโs like when Bush said nucular and every muppet in the world began pronouncing it wrong.
Without a chain, its no bike anymore, just a big scooter, sorry.
A game of B.I.K.E with the Don beaconsโฆ
Very interesting! Tempted to go mix 27.5/26 one speed on my first ever freeride bike for the parks in Cornwall ๐
Rock hard indeed.
Been riding mini mx for about 2 season. I love it since I only do bike park. My frame was also 210/55, which 160/150 beofre and i did some experiment so now it's 190/180. Switched it to zeb 190 front and DVO jade 8.5×2.5 rear. Same Bb height as that V10. I'm usually riding medium bike since I'm 171cm tall, but I now use small size since I found out I have shorter arms with longer legs. Much more control going downhill too with riser handle bar, singlespeed made it more responsive in the rear.
OFF THE CHAINS… COAST TO COAST.
Canfield is still building incredible bikes!!!! The have added components to their portfolio.
26 crew sign in
This was really interesting ๐
Tom Isted keeping 26" alive.
What a legend
Everyone on full 200 dh bikes and than there is Mr. Sam pilgrim on a 150 e-bike๐
Some cool paint jobs this year, really nice, like Bienve's and Casey's the best. Small suggestion for Kaos if he really plans to continue to ride without gears, get an SS/Trials hub, it'll let him build a completely dishless rear wheel, which will be much stronger and he can still fit 5 or 6 cogs on there if he happens to need some at some point.
Freeride keeping my '17 Kona Stinky 26 relevant. Running 26" 36H Halo SAS front and rear. Bombproof and fun AF.
Loved all of the bikes.
Have to say was good seeing them in the carpark/basement, the lights and white walls really made the bikes pop!
Praise that rain! ๐
Love Sam Pilgrim but who did the pain on that bike? Donโt leopards have more than 5 spots?
So are the cranks in a fixed position on the bike with no drivetrain?
Thank you
One thing they all had in common is there all sponsored to ride these bikes
Wonder how much Canyon is paying Sam to ride their E bike at a free ride event that doesnt even require a chain.
Canfield….still makes bikes.
Kaos running ODI Longnecks flipped?
The stepped in section is on the inner side?!?
Is it safe to assume these bikes are rock hard ๐ค
Are Blake's feet real? They look computer generated.
So it seems that now everyone has an Enduro bike the industry has pivoted to the next must have: Freeride bikes.
26" Single Speed โค
vero with 300 psi in shock like W H A T
Great job remembering and actually knowing all the brands and types on the bikes. Blake TOPs.
9:00 ots not audi nines anymore its swatch nines ๐
Tom Isted's bike. Wow.
rock hard?
On the trek session it had a 475lb spring I am 95lbs and I run a 500 on my enduro ๐ข
I love when itโs rock hard
tom isted won the list for me
