    Great videos & reviews! How have your shocks been holding out? I’m currently running a Super Deluxe & a Pike on my bike (2017 Remedy), just wondering how the Zebb & Deluxe would compare if I were to ride one of these Advanced 2’s.

    •  День тому

      Thanks! The fork and shock have been great but I have been planning to upgrade suspension now that its been over a year and due for serving anyway. I am looking to upgrade to options that have more fine tuning ability as I think that's all this bike is missing currently.

    Good work on those big drops in the top section. I haven't hit that last double drop over the tree root yet. There's also a nice trail to the left (on hill road) of where you started that second section, but headed more towards Ma Te Wa, just before the corner. Gotta walk up onto the side mound to see the entry. It's really good, loamy S-bends, some Tech drops and step chutes. Comes out just before that step-down you guys rode (as it heads into the open), then into the bottom of the DH.

  • @jawzzy3
    @jawzzy3 6 місяців тому

    You'll definitely notice a difference between high and low. It's a welcomed adjustment to suit people's preferences. More brands should add adjustable chainstay lengths too via dropouts. So easy to design and makes a huge difference to ride feel

    • @MrSupermugen
      @MrSupermugen 2 місяці тому

      The adjustable drop outs arnt easy to design... You need to take into account: Chain length Hanger shock tune Suspension leverage changes alot. with the suspension change comes Rider weight balance aswell. It's not easy and doesnt often work as intended. If you want long CS, buy a bike with long CS.

    Well done and very beautiful trails there!!, I have the same bike 2months like you, yes its sick ,pedals excellent and get so fast speed on down, hope you enjoy it. The rear shock is not good btw, i installed my dvo jade X back and its completely other bike,also zeb charger 3 is on the way.Stock brakes are ok but i ll put SLX rear for better and sure stop. Unfortunatelly i have a paint crack or real crack on seat tube(after 4 rides) and have already claimed warranty via retailer. Giant has execellent bikes but if claim does not go good i ll never buy again and never recommend a friend buy too.After a lot of dig found that on trustpilot the reviews are the worst.....hope they fix it because its a shame to loose customers and make them unhappy.

      Polygon call it a trail bike since it as 150mm front travel and 140mm rear travel. However I think it is a capable enduro bike if you set the bike up right.

    • @kame83
      @kame83 4 місяці тому

      It's an advanced pro 2. Mine came with "only" a deluxe select too. Seeing how Stephan is absolutely gunning these trails with the small shock (respect mate!), I almost regret swapping it out for a trusty Fox float x2 🙈 Nevertheless, i personally will keep the Zeb and upgrade the shock and the spring to a charger 3. The build has a couple of grams to lose by swapping the cheap cassette and the deore brakes by something lighter. Let's see if that's really needed.
