Just a note . I bought this bike and it has a lot of good qualities but it is not a good climber. I am faster climbing on my 90's 26er 4130 steel frame bike. Done a lot of comparing with Strava segments.
You ever find yourself maxing out the suspension fork? In this video, it sure looks like you might be coming close. I'm 210lbs and I'm considering this bike in addition to my Full Suspension. My FS has a 120mm (maybe 130mm) fork which does great, but I'm not sure how a 100mm will treat me.
I'm not riding anything too hard core on this bike but so far I'm impressed, feels well built and capable. I need more seat time to give an honest review. I've only got a few rides on the bike
@@pavolsopa2136 It's a trail bike for sure but the ergonomics feel good even for a bit of downhill. 29" wheels run over roots nicely, forks seem adequate, and there is a good selection of gears. Overall for the price I'm guessing it's hard to beat.
Looks like some great singletrack!
I have the same bike, I recommend the telescopic seatpost, I assembled it myself and it's a big difference. Nice video😎
Thanks! Yeah I was thinking the dropper post would be a nice addition.

I have the same bike. My question is. Is it possible to change the chainring to the next bigger size without changing anything??
From what i saw it is!
Looking to get this as my First bike would you recommend ?
For sure, great bike, works well for a bit of downhill riding too.

Yes Im 240lbs so It's easy for me to find the limits of this fork. Currently just doing pretty mellow rides so it's not an a big issue.
Fork good enough ? Is the bike worth it
