@jackbecker4866 dude. Rethink your words... the Supreme has been around for 20 years. It has won world cups, world championships, countless National titles, podiums at RedBull Rampage...
@@charlielynes i dont think so dude i think they are talking about the reputation. They are not the only bike brand right? They won but they are not the same ase the one they are talking about and maybe they're the underdog im bike brand
I have the final version of the thicc fury with the idrive. 2018 i think. The stiffness in that bike feels like your bones will break before anything on that bike breaks. Switch it up to mullet 29-27.5 and single crown fox 38 to decrease stiffness in the front end to lessen arm pump. It does pedal really well for a downhill bike. Too well that i wanna try it as enduro bike but I am not strong enough to withstand the stiffness for prolonged periods. Framewise, i think it's the most durable bike GT has ever produced. PS. It is compatible with a 90mm dropper from one up thus you can set it up as a super enduro bike.
Thanks for watching, Rob and I had a great time getting nerdy! The Commencal Supreme would have been an EXCELLENT addition to this list. It was so hard to whittle it down to just five bikes! 😅 ~ Will
I Ride a 17 CF Demo8 😎 Did 13 Days At Whistler this Summer Awesome Bike Love It 😎 So Glad I Bought It . 32mm Rims 223Rotors Saint Brakes TTX TI Mar 380TI 😄
Great video, just one slight mistake, the V10.4 was a carbon fibre frame with a aluminium rear triangle. The V10.5 was the full carbon fibre version still on 26" wheels and 10" travel (the last true V10). The V10.6 was the 27.5" wheel size and only 8.5" travel
The GT Fury you showed was an aluminum fury not the original carbon one fyi. The original was a steal frame pverlayed with carbon and was toted as the first carbon dh bike. The aluminum one was brought to market as a less expensive entry level fury based off of the GT ruckus.
Honda's RN-01 was an incredible bike! But our list was only bikes with made it into production. The Peeler was a solid DH bike, but rather heavy! ~ Will
The title is sort of misleading. They are on about bikes that have evolved and constantly been on the scene. The M1 had a break and is now back though.
Let's be honest... i can still remember the race that Marc Beaumont "won". He only done so because he was lucky to have a dry run and Sam Hill crashed during his after rain had fallen.
Right, I'm putting my nerd-hat on now! Marc Beaumont won two World Cup DH races. The race you're referring to in 2007 was in Vigo Spain. Marc was on a Santa Cruz V10 (not yet having switched to GT), and did indeed enjoy a run on a dry track, before the rain set in. Hill had a run in the wet and hit his FSA crank on a rock and bent it, but was lucky to stay on the bike and finish 3.55 seconds behind Beaumont in fifth place. The race I'm referring to was Marc Beaumont's second World Cup DH win in 2010 in Val Di Sole. Marc put together a scorching run on his GT Fury on a track which was bone-dry, both for him, and all the other racers on the day, including second-placed Greg Minnaar.
Love the bike design ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
It is supposed to be like that so you can pedal like a mad person while the suspension is moving. Look at old races of gee atherton in that bike, he is pedaling in a dh race 50% of the time even on rough stuff. That bike is for a strong person though because of the stiff design. It is a bike designed for 5 minute DH races.
Commencal Supreme ???
Came to say the exact same thing...
Shocked!!
😵
I think they’re discussing bikes that have some legacy in downhill. Supremes are sick but haven’t been around as long as these bikes.

Downhill bikes are the sexiest bikes ever!
Exactly 💯
Fantastic episode gentlemen.😎 I appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks for watching! See you in the next one 😎
That was great! Really enjoyed you taking about the different iterations of each model. Cheers
Thanks for watching us blab on about these bikes! Catch you in our next video on Wednesday 👍
@@bikeradar😎👍👍
You should include the sunn radical, intense m1 and iron horse sunday. All three milestones in the development of dh bikes.
You're right, these are great bikes! Maybe we need to work on a sequel...
@@bikeradar this would be a prequel, those bikes laid out the blueprint that was refined by the bikes mentioned in this video.
I would say the Sunday was the most important bike. Everything changed with the Iron Horse Sunday.
Great episode. Please do a free ride version 🙏
What a great idea! Thanks for your input, we'll get our thinking caps on!

It’s was a one and done, but you can’t miss the Sunday!
Other than GT I basically guessed the rest of the list. Really famous bikes.
Intense M1!
Great show and what a collection! I could imagine the Commencal Supreme up there. Thanks for great content🙏🏼

Okay, so what bikes did we miss? Let us know! 👇
devinci wilson is up there for me
Commencal supreme
The bench mark was the m1 back in the day…
Commencal, Norco, Scott, Kona....some great bikes missing here
Can we please bring back gold stations and white lowers!

no Intense m1? no sunn radical vprocessz?
Nice list but no kona bikes??? but i do say your sort on with Santa Cruz V10 its a fire bike 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kona hasn't won any races in a long time.
Kona stab supreme 🔥🔥
Nice, thought yt would be in there.
Downhill bikes are the dogs bollocks 🤠🤘
I think the Honda g cross woukd have been the best bike ever if Honda stayed in downhill.
Me favorite dh bike I ever had was the cove peeler!
Honda's RN-01 was an incredible bike! But our list was only bikes with made it into production.
The Peeler was a solid DH bike, but rather heavy!

How the hell did Commencal not make it in there.
maybe its not an "all time" great bike, i would say since 2010 o 12 maybe, spot 6 for it otherwhise
What's your favourite ever downhill bike? Comment below!
the v10 for sure
Session
Fury 2014-2018. Pure, stiff, and thicc race bike.
if it wasn't limited to currently available bikes then the Honda RN01 would've been sick
I think the demo gets a new suspension design or an gearbox? I‘m Not so sure…
Phwoar we would love to irde a Demo with a gearbox! Wonder if @specializedbicycles are listening!
~ Will
Tomac Magnum DH, Ellsworth, Intense M1, Schwinn
Iron Horse broooo😅
Nicolai Nucleon Dh
What about the Honda with the secret gearbox?!
Sunn Radical+
Ironhorse Sunday?
Kona Stab?
And the best one wasn’t even mentioned, a bike so ahead of its time all the big boys were using it and rebranding it……the Intense M1
The title is sort of misleading. They are on about bikes that have evolved and constantly been on the scene. The M1 had a break and is now back though.

Commencal Supreme ? Sunn Radical +? GT DHI ? Rocky Mountain RM7? …I would like to know your définition of « iconic »…
Forgot about Cannondale
Schwinn Straight 8!

The old GT Fury was a POS, especially the I drive that was always moving around.
I had the final year model before they switched to carbon, ran it chainless was a good time
It is supposed to be like that so you can pedal like a mad person while the suspension is moving.

These ppl don't know a good bike when they see one
doesnt snap in half, pffffffff, happens 24/7 at world cups, carbon crap
Where is a Gambler, Supreme?
Santa Cruz? Trek? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what do you mean? Both brands have tons of wins and are race proven.
