i took a test ride on one today- can't lie i kinda fell in love with the feel of this bike. I wish i could've tried it on some different terrains, but it was great on rough city roads Watching this really makes me consider going for a Stigmata.
Hi Guy nice review it looks like a load of fun. Did you say that was medium you were riding, how tall are you please? Looking on the size chats I think I am between a 54 and 56
I,m enjoying a Vitus substance alu gravel bike. Its as you describe, a mixed terrain ride from your back door without travelling to a trail centre or repeating your local single track loop. Briliant halfway place for trail riders or roadies. Great review.
Fabulous review, and I have enjoyed this bike enormously for the last 12 months. Your channeling Bryan Cranston at the end there a la Breaking Bad in appearance btw.
Really curious if you find the new version of the Stigmata as fun for this type of terrain and riding style, or if the new geometry makes it feel feel more relaxed or less agile feeling?
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head there. The new Stig is definitely 'better' for this sort of riding, but I'm not sure 'better' is actually more fun. The more I ride it the more I like it, but its a wholly different vibe to the previous Stig which was a fantastic firecracker of a bike
Hi Guy, having recently moved back to Harrogate, the routes you do in your videos look great, do you put the routes up anywhere so I can try them? Thanks
@@GuyKesTV hey that is interesting. I have tubules , continentals, on my genesis Equilibrium. Be interesting to see what they loose over couple of days. Cracking bike and review you did btw, thanks

Hi Steve, I had to send the bike back to SRAM about a month ago and have to say I'm missing it a lot. Just a great ride on road and off.
Great review. Will you review the Nukeproof Digger in the future?
Best review on internet!!! Congratulations! Sold on the new 2021 Stig. Thanks.
Thanks Marcelo. Don't think you'll be disappointed with your Stig 👊🏻

That's the most fun bike review I watched so far. Glad to see you are enjoying your ride. :-)
This is the best bike review I’ve ever seen
Wow, thanks Reid, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Great video, can see how much you enjoy the bike - and you were not hanging around by the looks of it!

Brilliant review, mate! Thanks a bunch.

@@GuyKesTV cheers, will do, should come up DrS
Awesome bit of kit 👍
Now need to buy one..:)
Same here. And it's sold out everywhere in Europe.
What tyre pressure did you go for ? Plus did you do your 400 km ride with tubular tyres ?
Hi Steven, I ran around 30psi in the tyres most of the time. The 400km ride was on the same Zipp 40 tubeless tyres.
@@GuyKesTV thanks. I take it on your 400 km ride you would be pumping the tubeless up a few times ?
@@stevenmcfarlane8831 no, didn’t pump it once just to see how much pressure I lost. Less than 2psi in 3 days
@@GuyKesTV hey that is interesting. I have tubules , continentals, on my genesis Equilibrium. Be interesting to see what they loose over couple of days. Cracking bike and review you did btw, thanks
Awsome mate 🤙
Hm......Epic Evo Expert. Did you lose the footage?
Sorry fella just seen this. Did you find the posted review?
Is that a 650b tire size?
okay you've waxed lyrical about the Vielo V+1 and this Stigmata, so honestly don't know which to go for or trust.
Very different bikes. What are you after?
yo! your totally ripping my beard off ! hahaha
Guy you are my goto - are you still riding the Stig ?
I’ve not got it at the moment, it went back to SRAM for a fresh kit reload. It should be back next week though 👍🏻
@@GuyKesTV awesome - I’m going British Racing Green
@@martybee6648 that is THE colour for sure
santa cruz is best known for skateboards lol
