Pace RC529: Fresh Radness From The Original UK Hardcore MTB Brand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Pace have been creating uniquely radical mountain bikes in the UK since the 1980s. Founder Adrian Carter and his daughter Sophie are still pushing the limits in the verts and versatility with the latest RC529 hardcore hardtail. Jump on board as I hit the steeps of Stainburn for a live ride review of the pros and cons of this steel framed raver.

I’ve got a 529 and reckon it’s the best handling bike I’ve ever owned. Incredible bike, fun, tough and super capable. I’ve set mine up singlespeed and the sliding drop outs are brilliant. Really superb bike, can’t recommend one highly enough. Proper best of British, and best of Yorkshire 🤘
Keep the real world UK hardtail reviews coming Guy 👍
Will do boss, plenty more in the pipe
As ridden by Mintsauce 😉
Great video Guy. I bought a 529 3 years ago and then waited a year for it to arrive (bloody pandemic), but worth every minute of the wait. What a ride!!! I've recently bought a YT Izzo, which whilst being a really good bike, only goes to show how awesome the Pace hardtail is.
At 5'10 I'm between sizes on the 529. M/L. From the geo it looks quite large for its sizing. Worth sizing down to a M?
You're the same height as me and I liked the large but what bike are you riding now and what sort of riding are you wanting to do? That will help decide how different the 529 will feel and whether to size down or not 👍
Hi.wow,never seen a live pace bike until a new guy at work had one,uses it for commuting?,worked in Harrogate too .strange now you have done this but glad you have,cheers again
'he's got to be jurassic' 🤣
Looks epic Guy. Whats the sizing like? Large looks huge on paper sagged 490+ reach. Is 5'11 on a medium or large? Thanks
The steeper seat tube means it doesn’t feel too long. I’m 5’ 10” and the large was spot on
@@GuyKesTV thanks a lot I'm going to grab the frame and pike deal
You want to have a good time on a hardtail, wizz it round a Southern Enduro event & I promise you no one will cross the line with a bigger smile!!
Inspired to rebuild my 627 🤟
DO IT!
Literally just looking at this bike on their website and considering an upgrade from my RC627👌♠️
Think you’ll be able to get a hold of a Bird Forge for review at some point? 🙏
i currently ride a scout comp 275 v3 and i love it but that pace looks stunning, i could give the scout up for it.
Alright mate how is this frame compared to the big dog . Is it a smoother ride or similar to big dog cheers
Ey up Tony, probably similarly smooth to the Big Dog, but with longer and slacker geometry. For max smoothness get a Hello Dave
@GuyKesTV cheers
@GuyKesTV 1 quick question dose longer and slacker make a less twitchy ride
You’d bankrupt me, I’ve wanted a pace since I was a kid and you’re so infectiously enthusiastic…but I don’t need anymore bikes, or do I
#sorrynotsorry
Cool bike as ever from pace, talking about parking at Stainburn. Any idea when it starts?
I’ll try and find out
How long until you shove a sid and some wolfpack tyres on this to chase a lightweight build 😅
Saving something like that for the 429 🤣
I miss Pace suspension forks. Still have an rc40 fighter in my attic which I ran on an Ellsworth Moment back in 2005, but would love to see an update for 2025!
Unlikely I'm afraid as they sold the fork business to DT Swiss a while ago. They can still service all the old Pace models so you could get your RC40 Fighter flying again!
@@GuyKesTV DT Swiss don't even use that design anymore! I'm sure they'll be able to buy the copyright back extremely cheap... 😂
Baths with a door in the side.... perfect for when you've gone too hard!
Seriously this is my ad feed these days. That and sort out your will offers. Maybe they know something I don't!
Just ordered one 🤟. Your a one you are . Cost me a fortune 🙌
Sorry not sorry
Pace always look ace 😎.
Yeah, I even love the colour names they use
@@GuyKesTV I bet lots of people are confused by Boggle hole 🤣
Have you ridden or reviewed a Pipedream Moxie Guy?
I’ve not ridden a Pipedream in years I’m afraid. I’ll have to give them a shout
@GuyKesTV your review videos are very informative so it would definitely be great to see.
Second this, be good to see you on a Moxie 🙏
Would like the 529 tyre clearance but prefer the 429 geo for my winter riding, can we have a (4.5)29 please Adrian
