- First ride on my new Propain Hugene! Bought this frame on an awesome sale Propain was having. It even came with a Pike 140mm fork. I upgraded to a RS Super Deluxe Ultimate so I had some dialing in to do. I'll post review of the bike on my next video!
Good looking bike.
Thanks!
I just ordered my Hugene 2 weeks ago. What are you general impressions of the bike? I was hesitant to drop as much money as I did on something I couldn't ride first, so I'm curious to think what others think. It's also not a common bike in my area... In fact, there aren't ANY in my area.
My buddy has the Spindrift and he loves it! He’s a bike nerd so he did tons of research on it. Apparently Propain bikes have one of the best pedaling platforms out there because of their linkage set up.
I rode his SD a few times and yeah it’s awesome bike.
He told me I wouldn’t be disappointed with the Hugene. It won trail bike of the year a few years ago. 22-23 I think.
I want to ride it a few more times before I do a review on it but my initial thoughts are that I’m really gonna like it.
I was talking to my buddy after our ride and I told him it kinda gave me the feel of a smaller bike. I loved my 27.5 bikes because of their nimble feeling.
That’s kind of what I felt with the Hugene. Fast, nimble and playful in the air.
I bought the frame and fork and put my own parts on it.
Let me know when you get your bike and what you think!
I’ll have review video in a few weeks. 👊🏼
@@eztrailinglife8074 It also scored really good in this years MTB-News trailbike test and got "best value".
That said - I dont care much about tests... I absolutely love mine! Between my higher travel E-Bike, my Gravel and my commuter bike, this one would absolutely be my choice if I could only keep one.
@@eztrailinglife8074 if I get a chance to ride it before the snow sets in, I'll let you know what I think! I look forward to your review.
Does your Super Deluxe Ultimate have hydraulic bottom out (HBO)?
It does but it’s fixed on the SADU.

I have the Vivid and it has adjustable HBO.
Both are pretty awesome shocks
