Riding a bike is living, and we’re all dying to live. I’m lucky enough to enjoy riding my bike in The Forest of Dean, England, or ‘little Squamish’ as I like to call it. I’m an amateur rider and I wish to share my passion for the sport of mountain biking, nothing more, nothing less.
Full Fat E Bike VS Huge Jumps #emtb #mtb #bikepark #gopro12
Almost 1 year ago I got my first T2B on Full Moto on this bike, I've been back this year and hit it on my downhill and trail/enduro bike, can I clean it properly on the 25 kilo full fat? 🤷♂️

Hey man I have a question do you think this is possible with 130 mil hardtail that custom built?
Have you changed the brakes on this bike? Do you have to drop the motor and battery? I see you removed the dropper cable and shift cable. Did you have to drop the motor. I have this same bike and love it but want to put on Magura brakes
Haven’t changed the brakes buddy, just the dropper and drivetrain, haven’t needed to touch the motor 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker Thanks man do you have to take out the battery and then all the cables can move? Do you think the rear brake can be changed without removing the motor?
@@trailpimp6369 I reckon you should be able to thread the brake cable through, but don’t know, I’ve never touched the motor myself 👍
Very uncomfortable helmet for long day riding, feel painful over the neck area
Thanks for the comment 👍 I do use a different helmet now myself 👍
Close one 😮💨
Too close 🫣😅
I volunteer with the DTV and we spent quite a bit of time on Flatlands, working with the FE Cycle Rangers, looking at line options, possible features. There were a lot of drainage issues to consider and a lot of material was shifted, to create what has proved to be a very popular trail.
Great trail, thanks for your hard work 👍🫡
That looks like so much fun
So much fun 👊 Thanks for the comment 👍
You nailed it bro, but I got a constant feeling you were being on the edge of missing the landing. Gain more speed mb?
Thanks for the comment bro, no pedalling so had to get into the landings to carry speed 👍
Mate are you left handed by any chance?
No mate, I’m right handed, I know, ride goofy 👍
You probably aren't paying attention while preventing yoruself from dying, but that's a real pretty view, and I love the greenery growing around the track. Nice graphics.
😂 It’s beautiful for sure, you’re 100% right though, while riding I don’t see any of it 😂 Afterwards though, love the views 🫡
So need to go here 🔥
Yes you do 👊👊
👎
👍🤷♂️
Nought wrong with sending an E-bike over those jumps 😊 i couldn't even send a normal bike over them jumps. @ForestMountainBiker
@@simonwilcox8245 Thanks buddy, I feel you 👍
See that track on the right, yeah that’s the one I would have taken because the first jump would have landed me in hospital
😂 Taken years and lots of practice to take the track I did 🫡 Thanks for the comment 👍
Unless people mountain bike ride they can’t totally appreciate what you can do, I’m an older guy now and I still ride tracks and some tiny jumps but nothing like that, the smooth landing is so precise and rhythmic it must feel fantastic having that perfect momentum that places you smoothly on the downhill slope of the second hump all the way through that. Great to watch and thank you for taking us along it!
@@Drone-Pilot Your reply/comment is one of the best I’ve ever read. Thank you so much 👍👍
Where is this?
Dirt Farm in Wales 🏴 👍
Really enjoy these videos. Those bends🫣➡️👌🏻
Thank you, love that comment 👍
Always flipping my E-Bike when i am washing it. This little friend could make a significant difference. Literally fuc**d up my display already when putting the Bike upside down...
I’ve broken a remote due to flipping my e bike so I know your pain buddy 👊 Thanks for the comment 👍
Whats the max chainring size you can fit ?
I don’t know buddy, check with Canyon on that one 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker Canyon doesnt say. Can u check your bike and see if bigger chainring than your curent one will fit or will teeth hit chainstay. I am assuming u have 34T
@@p199a Looks like there’s clearance for a 36/38 to be fair 👍
@@ForestMountainBiker thanks m8
Very nicely done! ❤
Thank you 👊
@@ForestMountainBiker you're more than welcome, I always praise true talent when I see it
@@alicewolfyedwards62 If only more people would do the same 🫡 Thanks again
Made it look easy again my friend 😊👌👊
Still felt scary buddy 😅 Loved it though 👍
The features feel much different back on the FullFat?
@@OldBeanMTB It felt a bit less controlled on the full fat, I was more a passenger than a rider at times 😂 The full fat if you let it go would jump all of them to flat no problem 😅
@@ForestMountainBiker 🤣😬
Lil oppo whip going on here do i spy 🧐 nice riding dude 🤘
Maybe… 🤙 Thanks buddy… not long for Revs 👊
Sick video man🔥. Stoked I got to see you at Dirt Farm yesterday 😁
You were sending it buddy 🔥 Keep riding 👊
Actually, I was at the point, where I could do some manuals (it took a while...), and I always thought, what could I do better to control it for a longer time. So after watching this, I tried to hit the relax button when I reached the balance point. Well, it worked. So it reminded me, that being able to relax is one of the most important skills in mountain biking (and of course in any other part of life). You kinda make this point in quite a chill way! So thanks, great Video!
Awesome, thanks for the comment 👍 Being relaxed when your instincts are telling you to be scared is a strange thing… but essential for riding 👊 Stoked you can manual for longer and with more control 🫡
Absolutely, it feels like you're gaining control, when you let go of the need for control and focus on the fun.
Love your jumping! Soooo smoooooth! I will continue to dream that I will one day be able to ride like you 😁😁.
Thank you buddy 👊 Practice and more practice, that’s my secret 😅 Thanks for still watching 🤙
Im looking to get it, youre the first person ive found that has done a review on it. Thanks so much What height are you and what size do you have?
I’m 6 foot and went large, fits me like a glove 👌 Thanks for the comment 👍 Great bike and build on the CF9 is send proof 👊
@@ForestMountainBiker Im struggling with what size to pick, because canyon recommends medium but then you and multiple other people have or recommend a large for me. Im 6 foot aswell but more slender so i dont know whether a bigger bike will be harder to move around
@@davinci69 I think Canyon may let you swap it within 30 days, check that though! Rider preference is everything, only you will know 👊
@@ForestMountainBiker that would be great, ill definetly check it. Thanks again man
What are the plastic spacers you mentioned on the cockpit?
Canyon use plastic for the headset spacers. I prefer a more traditional metal headset ideally 👌👍
Summer in wales more like! 😂
Fair, love summer in wales 🏴 👍
Nice one mate 👊 Interestingly it looked like Enter the Dragon came easier than A470, conditions maybe? I guess the lighter bike has a little less momentum. Absolutely nailed Pork Belly 😮👌
I missed hard shoulder, I remembered towards the end and then missed the turn off 😂 Next time 👊 Yeah, ETD did go well on the trail bike, had to work a470 a bit more, think ETD gives you more speed easier 👍
Yes the HS turnoff comes up quick 😊
@@OldBeanMTB So easy to miss the turn off! Well done passing 100 subs 🫡 We need some laps again my friend 👊
Thanks man 👊 Yes mate for sure, be good to do that. Probably FOD Saturday morning and may try DirtFarm following Sat.
I need this trail in my country!!!
Everyone does 👊😂
Right man!!!!
Be water with your bike and trail is the right thing...my beast had broke my femor because I don't judge her ...We have come to an agreement...now is better!!! Falling is easy, getting up is more difficult!!! Never give up!!!🤟
@@FreedomSoulInside You know 🫡 Respect, keep riding, till the wheels fall off 🤙
@@ForestMountainBiker the falls of wheels are better then the fall of us!!! Besides...I like kissing the ground!!!🤪
Are you nazist?
Might need to fly halfway across the world so I can hit these sick jumps!
Worth it buddy 👊😂
Looking good buddy. Absolutley sending it as always. Keep it up
Thanks buddy, will try 🫡👊
Did you get rid of your eMTB? I can’t make my mind up to go eMTB or standard mtb but higher spec for the same budget
I’ve still got my full fat Torque ON 👍 That’s a hard choice my friend, which will you have more fun riding..? 🤷♂️👍👍
im still coming back to your old vids for advice and tips on products. thanks for helpful info on these 🙏 curious as to what cassette you were using with the rear also?
You’re welcome 👊 Thanks for watching 👍 That’s an sram XO cassette (T-type)
@@ForestMountainBiker great stuff thanks. that microspline?
@@dodgymtbknee No, XD freehub 👍
Love the homage to the veloceraptor in Jurassic Park😅
Thanks buddy, love that film/scene 👌👍
Clean
yo 👊
hard
Yo 👍
Been working up to Full Moto for a while but proper nervous of it. 1-3 look ok before it gets proper big. How does it ride? Speedwise, is it absolutely flat out or like 95%. Are any a bit kicky or super floaty? Cheers for any advice. R
Fair buddy, everyone’s nervous 👊 Ride it fast, the landings allow you to go deep and still carry enough speed. Number 4 is the booter/kicky jump, get past that and you can do the rest no problem 🫡 N
@@ForestMountainBiker epic thanks. There this Friday 😅
@@richardwallace1879 Enjoy buddy, love Dirt Farm 👊
that flip at start had me sweating
just saw the landing...😐
Likewise bro 😅
He’s all good (considering!) Thanks though 👍
That line at 5:08 mins I presumes at FOD. I ride there a lot and have never been able to find it.
So close to the car park but so hard to find! Where the workshop is at the end of the car park look up at small hill that is opposite it, head that way 👍
You had the Canyon Torque On Cf8...i have the same bike...What is the difference between the two apart from the double plate?😅...i'm a beginner, and you make me c.m!!!😅🤟
I still have my Torque On CF8 👍 Not riding it in this video though 👍 Don’t understand the question sorry but thanks for the comment and keep riding 👊
@@ForestMountainBiker what's the different between the two bike?
@@FreedomSoulInside They ride different for sure, the weight of the full fat is very stable, but the non e bike feels more nimble and less effort… enjoy both but in different ways 👍🤷♂️
That happened but with a boar in FOD ❤
Fair, watch out for the boar in FOD 🐗 👍
That happened to me but it was with a pigeon 😂😂
😂 They’ll get ya 😂
every jump is more impressive than the last lol
Yo buddy 👊
Those were MASSIVE!
Yo 👊
Bike looked really cool yesterday assuming that was you at BPW.
Thank you buddy, guess that was me, video out soon yo 👊😅
Fulllll senddddd🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you know buddy 🫡👊
Looks so much fun. But I'd die, so nah.
😂 It is a lot of fun if you don’t die 😅 Thanks for the comment 👊
Looks sick buddy
Thank you buddy, one of my favourite tracks at Dirt Farm 👌👍
Wow! What a raptor-us performance, those jumps were mammoth! You must have been ptero-fied. Stegosaurus
Unlike the dinosaurs your awfully good puns will never go extinct 😅👌
Which bike is that??
I’m on the Torque CF9 (my pet RaptGNAR) 👍
Are there any easy trails at dirt farm because the ones I see you do are huge 😂😂
lol, there are to be fair, I do prefer the bigger ones now I’ve ridden there a lot 🫡 Thanks for the comment 👍
You're looking good 👍 One of the places booked to go but a broken clavicle is stopping me atm. 😢
@@simonwilcox8245 Thank you buddy 🤙 Hope you heal up well so you can enjoy the amazing trails too 👊👍
