What was the blue at 2:40
Hard tail
Idk what bike to buy but we don’t have trains here at uae more of a sandy country so I’ll accept it and buy a fat or thiccc bike
So none of the bikes come with peddles, save one that had clear ones ?
Would a hybrid bike be good for street riding??
Hardtail
I ride the crapiest mtb ever, the supencion barley works ( it’s a kids bike )
I ride enduro
how many times have you watched this video?
Is a trail bike still ok at jumping? There are jumps in my area but not that many so a slope style is no feasible.
Which 1 do i need for driving in the woods
Hardtail. Just enough ruggedness to get me where I want to go. Also great for light trails.
Dirtjumper
Hardtail, Fat bike, BMX, and trail bike.
All borrowed exept hardtail and BMX
Hardtail
I ride BMX and I want to get into Mountainbiking
I have a 26inch hard tail with fat high rolling tires and 100mm rock shock forks. Also have a 20inch bmx. I usually ride dirt jumps and skate parks on both. If I’m not riding park I’m up in the rocky mountains riding a mile or higher..
What would a full suspension bike with 150mm front and rear be considered Trail or Enduro?
I ride a DH bike
Dart jump
i ride hardtail but dont know really what to call it
I Like To Buy And Ride In A Full Suspension MTB. But I Don’t Have That Much Money To Buy These High End Bikes. I Like ‘SPECIALIZED’, ‘FRR’, ‘CANNONDALE’, ‘SANTA CRUZ’, ‘BANSHEE’ etc. I Love To Ride These Bikes. So I Bought Hardtails. I Have ‘KROSS MAXIMUS’ 26Inch Wheels With 18 Speed Gears (3×6) Gear Combination (Shimano ‘TOURNEY’) & Front Disc Brake (Mechanical) , ‘COSMIC TRIUM’ 27.5Inch Wheels With 21 Speed Gears (3×7) Gear Combination ( Shimano ‘ALTUS & ACERA’) & Dual Disc Brakes (Mechanical) (Brand – ‘Tectrodracko’) , ‘FITTRIP VIPER’ 29Inch Wheels With 24 Speed Gears (3×8) Gear Combination (Shimano ‘DEORE’) & Dual Disc Brakes (Hydraulic)& Front Suspension Lockout & Weight Adjustment . These Are The Three Hardtail MTB I Have Now. From This Year I Started To Save Money To Buy A Full Suspension MTB With ‘Dropper Post’ Available & ‘Suspension Lockouts’ . So Thank You For Reviewing Me Some Latest Nice Bikes.🖒👍🚩❤😎😃🙄. Full Suspension Bikes Are Cool & Fun To Ride I Think .Talking About The Front Suspension "Air Suspension Is Better Than Coil Suspension" . That’s For Sure. No Doubt.
super aggressive 27.5+ hard tail
I had a gt hardtail and recently upgraded to a giant trance x4 and the ride quality on a full suspension is defo worth the maintenance and price point
Lol they say like hardtails are just cheap low-level rubbish and there exist only full-suspension. I’d like to see you livind in a big city riding your bike to work or university and often going to some trails, spots or just riding urban freeride with the same bike. It’s only a hardtail. Try to pedal 30 kmh for an hour with your full sus – you’ll die.
Where’s the enduro bike
If money is not an issue, will someone still buy a hardtail?
I don’t know in which category it fits but it’s a bergwerk moonraker carbon
i ride the 2008 specialised sx trail two ✌️
Hardtail
*I ride a 2017 KONA FIRE MOUNTAIN hardtail.*
Downhill 4life 🤙
weight is really important, mostly 29", double chainrings? He just tells about the canyon, not only for xc, but for all disciplines. Describing provided bikes and just take them as standards??? Baaaaaad call, very bad call
Enduro
Specialized epic for cross-country
Best ever
Ride a hard tail so xc
down hill biks look so good but it looks like down hill is all its good for which is sad.
Idk what bike to buy but we don’t have trains here at uae more of a sandy country so I’ll accept it and buy a fat or thiccc bike
Geez, is GMBN owned by Canyon? I mean they are certainly not bad bikes but the amount of Canyons on GMBN is disconcerting to a point almost harmful for GMBN’s own sakes.
Hi, can you guys tell me de difference between the first and the last bike in you video, the difference between the XC and the hardtail? To me it looks pretty much the same.. 😉
I’m 55 I live in Denver I still ride once a week on the trails outside of town what kind of bike do you think I should be riding
Hard tail . Raleigh talus 2
What is the cheapest but still good slopestyle mtb I can get ??
How about the enduro?
Down hill hard tail
Hardtail
I’ve got a cross country
Full rigid 26 inch fixie for the win
