Echo Pure First Ride: I Really Like It!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Last week I teased about swapping the lightweight parts from the Ashton onto a more modern lightweight competition bike, well here it is...an Echo Pure!
When I say modern, this is still a few years old and doesn't have some of the features an up-to-date frame might have (like a tapered steerer tube) but the geometry is still modern and the frame is still lightweight which has let me get a sub 9kg full build which feels great!
As I've mentioned in other videos I've never really got on well with modern geometry, mainly the higher bottom bracket as it requires quite a change in riding style to use properly which I never really got the hang of so I wasn't really expecting to like this bike.
How wrong I was!
I ended up really enjoying my first ride on the Pure, the light weight made it easy to throw around and the stability on the back wheel made some of the tech moves noticeably easier...even with the bars tilted forwards (which is previously something I've mocked) it still felt fairly natural and I'm really happy with the riding I did.
I'd love to take the Pink Pogo and this bike to a comp and see how they cope with over a decade and a few kilos difference.
As always I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for watching!

That was unreal dude don’t listen to the people giving u greef cause there just jealous mate your awesome and a legend can’t wait for the next video 👌🤙
Yes Keelan🙏🤘
Over the years I've done just about every type of riding there is from distance riding to DJ/DH, skate park and tough enduro races. Still to this day, competition style trials riding remains the most difficult requiring the highest level of skill to pull off cleanly. Cleaning just one section can make you feel as exhausted as riding an entire DH course.
Nice work here Ali. 👍
The kids at 13:55 made my day. :))
That’s their ideas of cycling corrupted, the saddles are coming off their Barbie-bikes.....
Trials skills are trials skills doesn't matter what type of bike you ride .
Try a 20" lightweight build.
I have never ridden anything as strange they don’t even feel like bikes
@@Ali_Clarkson If would like to try some more interesting tree lines?
Located JUST up stream of DD10 9LH!
Maybe something like what Charlie rolls rides; with a super long stem and very high rise bars tilted all the way forward. Front and back wheel control will be much easier
Eh who knows... maybe you’ll be surprised

I'm a mountain biker and I like watching videos with all kinds of bikes and when the person is as skilled as you it makes it that much better.
I have a jitsie varial 26" comp bike and ride natural terrain like this in northern california (though not as skilled, yet)...riding every day, trying to be better than i was the day before, i appreciate this content thanks for sharing :)
I want to see more of this bike
That bike, that riding, that scenery
I have watched this video so many times over and over and can’t get enough
Now I really want to see how you'd manage to ride a 20" hopping machine! I remember you calling my bike that when I got it 2 years back haha! Sick video Ali!
20 inch trials bike or a bmx?
@@bmxriderforlife1234 A trials bike!
landed my first downside footjam tailwhip and I was so stoked I even put a video on my channel. Now watching your riding makes me feel like I need to practice a loooooooot more
Thanks!
It's a shame the haters want to bring you down, but skills is skills no matter the label and you've got skills by the dump truck load. I don't care what the bike you ride looks like, I love watching you blow my mind with your versatility every time
Never mind the fools calling you a bmx rider. That you can do all the lines and stunts you do on the variety of bikes you use is testament to your talent.
almost 100k subscribers, yoooooh !!!
i like both street and comp trials ... and at the end of the day, who cares what people are doing on their bikes ... i'm just happy to see people on bikes having fun
You’re so hard on yourself man! You’re riding is unreal and you do an awesome job. Glad to see you letting yourself enjoy the victories after a couple of frustrating rides. Loved the comp vids, my favourite of yours is the British champ vid.
Screw the haters. Who needs them. I think trials on any bike is awesome. The thing that amazes me about you is how quickly you can adapt. You might think you're not be the very best on each bike but you are definitely top notch. Keep up the great riding and entertaining videos.
you have come a long way since Key Training Ali awsome videos, outstanding bike control one of the best
I'm complete rubbish but I can still get a "wow look at that" from little kids LOL. I really enjoy watching you ride the natural stuff and don't mind if the bike doesn't have a seat!
i'm a road rider and I enjoy watching your videos. You don't have to be a trials rider to appreciate the skill involved.
I could sit and watch you do this for hours, it's just wonderful. My granddaughter summed it up perfectly, "Wow grandad, that man's dancing with his bike..." 👍
Amazing riding as always, don't listen to the haters. Keep doing what you do! It's so refreshing to see someone in the public eye that's so down to earth and involved with the fans.
After watching this intro with crashes I was worried but nice to see you feel happy on this bike. :) After riding a Crewkers Cleep in the past few years I rebuilt my older Sky 2 frame with high bar position and front disc brake to practice bunnyhops again after so many years. Around 2009-2013 I built two 24" trials bikes by cutting 26" comp trials frames but to get 357mm long chainstays 1045-1052mm WB, +35mm and later +60mm BB rise also with front disc brakes. I think you could also like those geometries. :) Good luck for the next bikes and videos.
Mtber 🙋♂️
I really enjoy coming over to this channel now and again to see the trials riding like the stuff in this vid!
Keep it up, also congratulations on the pic quality its nice to watch such a clear vid.
Pretty much only ride a MTB and your skills/humor are very entertaining to watch! Retro bike, comp trials bike, trialish bike with seat, etc. really doesn't matter to me I always look forward to your videos.
You look so comfy on this bike, your making it look effortless on a comp style bike. Really enjoyed that thanks.
Mate an Echo Pure is the best frame out there. No hefty euro price tag and so clean to look at. Awesome riding
I enjoy your videos very much! Please don't let other people try to influence how or what you ride! Just have fun and keep doing what you enjoy!
I am so happy that you finally decided to get yourself on a real comp bike And am really happy to see that you’re loving it, great work!!!
Please make allot more with this bike and it would be cool to see you take it to the streets.
Yeah, that bike made you go beast mode. As someone who only has a comp bike (and likes it) I feel glad that you've finally got to enjoy riding one so much. Looking forward to see more incredible stuff like that!
I love watching how the different geometry changes the way you need to maneuver the bike and shift your weight.
I love the technical side of trials personally. I rode trails mostly but what appealed to me was the roots, rock gardens, and technical climbs so I started watching Ashton, Hans, and Ryan Leech. Hans and Ashton did a "How to" video way back when and I learned a lot watching that. I then stumbled across Ryan Leech and Mastering The Art of Trials and BOOM, I Was HOOKED! I started molding trials into MTB and it really opened up my riding.
Love the channel and the stable of bikes you're building.
Keep up the awesome work!
That was sick. Love these type of videos. Those natural slippery logs are no joke.
As an MTBer who has absolutely no chance ever of even getting a bike up onto it's back wheel for a split second like you do, I absolutely enjoy watching the riding you do as I weirdly like slow speed tech despite my lack of good balance, so appreciate watching someone who does have good balance and skill. As to comp bike with or without saddle? Well if you're never sitting down, a saddle to me honestly doesn't make much sense, but if you're going to be cruising around town or trails looking for spots to ride and need to pedal, a saddle absolutely makes sense.
Iv always thought that the fact some TGS riders think that street trials isnt really trials is ridiculous. All that should matter at the end of the day is that your out on a bike having fun. Nice riding Ali 👍
not surprised that you did well on this bike. I mean there is a reason why comp riders use these bikes and you obviously have the skills to ride these bikes too.
I just picked up an echo mark v, havent ridden trials in over a decade, what a bike! I've fallen so many times more than when i was a teen. Nothing like my old monty hydra
Your riding looked spectacular on THIS Echo. It's insane that this is your FIRST ride....
Street Trials & Comp Trials are both very skilled disciplines. So few can do both like you.
I reemeber seeing you to that in the woods
Ali, your videos are great! There’s no reason why you should doubt yourself. Man, you have the skills. Your modesty is refreshing, but don’t overdo it ;)
Still injured with my torn tendon in my knee always looking forward to Friday for your videos. Love them keep them up 🤙
Ali is like Harry main of the trails world with the amount of bikes he has now😂 Love the videos dude🤘
I'm so happy for you Ali you are so close to 100k subs! First play button let's gooo
Yaay! It's Pinkbike friday fai... wait a minute?! Nice riding (as always)! And this N+1 is going out of hand!
Those kids hopefully will be inspired by seeing that, they sounded very impressed and rightfully so.
Awesome, honest videos. I’m always waiting for the next one! I really enjoy your comments and showing the tenacity it takes to accomplish such skill.
I am really enjoy watching this video, and I am amazed how you ride on the round and slippery tree trunks, which also stagger !! Good luck and take care of yourself!
Mate, you you don't need to do a specific type of trials to prove your skill, it's obvious for all to see. I'm a mountain biker, and I love watching your videos. No-one can dispute the skill and strength that's needed to do what you do. Keep it up 💪
Good to see you enjoying your riding Ali. Keep it up! 👍
It’s like night and day (your last video to this one). Glad to see you having a blast, it’s what bikes are all about. I am loving the ‘pure trials’ stuff, but honestly just think you’re ace on a bike. Respect.
You can ride any geometry so good, amazing man! I love your street riding, but also your trial riding now! You have style.
dope riding dude. would love to see how you do with the new bike in a competition.
Great inspiring riding Ali. Your perseverence and passion really helps motivated other riders like myself to keep setting sub goals toward bigger gosls, be a life long learner and to never give up! Big cheers from New Zealand.
99k! You look great on that bike. I normally prefer street on the Hex but this bike sure seems to suite you very well . You look much better on this bike vs the other comp style bikes. I think the disk front is a must even with my very limited skills it is so much control. The kids on the trail cheering you on were a nice bonus!
99k subs going strong! Great video as per normal Ali
Have been enjoying the great content for ages, keep up egood work.
Ali Clarkson today I found the exact bike you were using for sale on an Australia Facebook group for sale for $750 aus dollar
Epic video, can you do an updated video on what bikes you own.
You look like a different rider on that thing! So sharp and snappy, must be the weight. Shame the Ashton didnt work out for you but that's life. Sod the haters, do what you like. I think your riding has been exceptional on all the retro builds but the Norco was my favourite.
Truly stoked to get to watch you having such a fun time on the new ride. Thanks for all the inspiring footage and especially the do it till you ace it dedication. Can't wait to get out and try to put some of this into practice.
Entertaining to watch 👍🏻 Thanks for the more comp like content. Really enjoyed it.
Keep it up your inspiring me and others to go out and try this even if were on our mountain bikes.
Cool video mate 👌 great to see you pushing the progression 👍👍👍
The negative comments are no doubt from people with lesser skills. My preference is silent brakes and a saddle, but this is pretty amazing.
Dude! Riding is riding who cares what your doing as long as you are having fun! Personally this stuff is so far away from what I ride off road or on my bmx I enjoy it for that reason alone. One can learn from watching good riding from any discipline! Keep it all up I say.
14.20 Great Gap!!!Another Fantastic Video Ali!!
@@Ali_Clarkson And I luckily got some of your amazing brake boosters for a future build!They look amazing, Thank you
this bike looks very simple yet very sharp and seems to work very well. and although i prefer to watch street trials it is fun to watch you doing some of this traditional trial in the nature.
MTB riders perspective. Yes I enjoy watching this stuff seat or no seat. I found the channel via your bunny hop video and ended up subscribing. In fact I ended up buying a cheap trials bike. So there you go... a convert.
Think its awesome and the fact you go from mtb to street to comp style and make it look so effortlessis unreal to watch.
At first I was confused on how humanity had come to this point then at 11:42 I realized my pea brain can’t comprehend this level of athleticism. It’s not on the mortal plane I see.
Soooo close to 100k!!! Congrats in advance
It’s all you!
I like the street trials riding that you do. It looks like a lot of fun. It is NOT BMX! Haters will hate. Screw them. Keep doing what you're doing. As long as you're having fun, who cares what people think.
Hi Ali! i am writing you to tanks alot for your vid, always gives you such a charge to get out of workplace and start riding! Thanks to you in covid times i have decided to learn the basics of trial and i am super exited. one month ago i have bought a little 20" street trial bike for nothing and now i am doing some updates to improove the overall quality of that bike. i am looking for new wheels and i have discovered it's very difficult to find out 20" rear rims because they are always for front.... you know why??
aniway, keep riding and posting, your videos always inspire me alot love you! greetings from italy
OMG! Ali again on normal comp trials bike! I believed and waited))) Massive thanks!
I could never get those v-breaks to work like that, great vid👍
Love this video! Thanks for sharing your fun. Your unvarnished honesty is always appreciated and inspiring -- I always finish them wanting to get out and ride. And in the bike and terrain in this video are closer to what and where I ride, so even more exciting (I definitely can't ride features that big though)!
I have the same bike, so it made me feel confident to go for it.
Fun to see outer space stuff done with bikes 👍
Ali I think your comp era could be coming back for a second wave, looking awesome out there!
im surprised how good the riding looks and how good you ride that bike!! it looks so good and clean. I really like that video!
The red hex miss me ! I love seeing you streettrial riding, and I love seeing you doing pure trial!
Continue to do both ! (For being honest, even when you just stay home with your bikes makes cool video !)
Love the kids excited noises in the background! Haha
I’m in the background thanks Ali love the videos keep it up👍
I had a fly on my monitor while you were talking about flies. What a coincidence :-D
loved the bike loved the content another great vid ps your riding is looking sick Ali well done
You are SOOOOOO underrated.
Real impressed with the log upwards gap, you made it look so easy! Hope to see more of this soon, perhaps you could bring along 2 bikes and compare them more concretely on specific lines
I’m a mountain biker and I approve of all your videos, and the new seatless bike too!
Nice one Ali some big moves there!
Brilliant as ever Ali!
Ali C feeling comfortable on a comp bike?? Easily the weirdest thing that's happened in 2020
Next time u try rockman
Loved this video and I like the clean look of the bike. I'm a mtb'er myself and definitely have a preference for the natural stuff like this. And somehow your one of view youtubers that I really like watching as a person. You seem like a humbled guy who's just here for the love off riding. Oyea, those “muted” framebuild video's are so good and funny. You sure have a neck for creativity. But enough feathers in your butt, keep up the good work!
Yeah the legend is come back!!!
You are the top..…I will send you the video about my trackstanding that I improved thanks to your tutorial
🤙👍👍👍👍🤙🤙
Crazy ! Iam building one right now a 2009 , cant wait to finishing up, its nice to see it in one piece 🤘🙂
And no seat bro comon 😏no need for that hehe
I wish I could do what you can on my echo, much respect and congrats , keep going! Awesome work
You have almost 100k
keep it up road to 100k💪💪
Absolute boss of a video love it 👌 your looking very good on the bike !
Amazing riding, Ali! PureTrials bike suits you well!
If U liked this frame, maybe you should give a chance to a more hardcore frames/bikes like Crewkerz or Clean or Ozonys.
Comes to think of it,
how about tasting a CARBON frame???😃
Keep up your excellent work, man.
Be safe!
Love my Echo Pure, glad you enjoyed yours. Mod next? The dark side!!
so good to see you on this kind of bike!
You're the best Ali!!! Cheers!
Awesome riding dude.. looking comfy 👍🏼 looking forward to the British comp vids 👌🏻
