Help me please which is the best for power band torque for around £4000 and £5000 please
Yo estoy buscando alguna bici tipo trail all mountain -de 2200 € però no se qual escojer qual me recomiendas?
Hi Rob new to your chanel and just subscribed, fantastic films! Just wandering if you have tested the trek rail 7 or the whyte e150s as I’m looking at getting one or the other but can’t decide. Many thanks ��
Boot a single alloy frame? Carbon bikes are shit no matter how good they look
You should have taken those reflectors off before weighting it.
Surprise, I’m still riding my 26″ 10 speed without any problem.
Is rocscoe little sluggish on the road, because of plus tires? Have to pedal half hour to get to the forest..
I am considering buying a Marin Rift Zone 3 2020. $3499 from BicyclesOnline. Spec looks decent. I am 52, ride on-road a couple of times a week but haven’t been off-road for a decade. Intended use something to throw in the back of the car (not literally) for long days on fire trails in the Blue Mountains or shorter trails/ single track here on the South Coast. Buying blind really. Looking for something capable, climbs reasonably well, forgiving and will last. Not likely be tackling big drops, fast downhill runs or comps. Any thoughts on the Rift Zone 3, or other recommendations would be much appreciated!
Im trying to buy my first mtb willing to spend $2000-3000 USD what’s my best option? There’s too many options and im not an expert with bike parts yet.. Please help guys
Is there a trail bike that is in the lower 3 digits?. why are they too expensive?
Can you please do a best mountain bike under $400 for up hill and down hill riding
I pulled the trigger. will be my first Trek. I’ll get it next week. I think I made a good decision. Great review.
Hi! There´s a lot of grief about the Brose mag S motor and it´s beltdrive failure. I read a lot about this in different e-mtb forums. It´s a shame because I was very much looking to buy a Levo. Now there are those who says that Specialized finally have found the solution for this, do you know if that is true? And is there a way to check a bike to see if it has a fixed motor? I am tempted to buy one of the many Levos who are advertised and the seller oftes says that the bike has a new motor. In sweden it does not seem like the warranty for the bike follows over to the second owner. I fear that the lure of a second hand Levo will cost me more than I anticipate. What are your thought on this?
More bike brands than cars… every review on the best hardtail has a different top 5… so far I’ve seen about 20 brands that are the top 5….ahhh em…
There all so overtly priced. Pro biking has become a rich man sport which I hate because there’s so many people who love the sport but can’t afford a decent bike. Blame the dummy’s who pay for them. They literally charge 50× what it cost to build them. I found this out from pro kayaks that cost a fortune but to build was 80× cheaper.lol. People with money will pay any price. I’d love to see a honest non greedy company sell a decent pro bike people can afford. Like the doller shave club but for bike’s.
Those welds near the top of the seat tube are UGLY. My 2018 Fuel EX has much cleaner welds. Weird they took a big step back aesthetically.
Prime intense is way better! in my list
and 2ns is Specialized
Anybody got any info where I can find some good used bikes that ain’t ragged out?
How could you guys forget about BMC bike. It is without doubt the best mountain bike.
https://volitionebike.com/product/electric-bike-fat-bafang-ebike-jumbo/
Giant should be on here, they have a nice affordable selection overall. That yeti is smooth asf though, ahh one day.
Looking to buy my first full suspension mtb and i’m thinking about Vitus Mythique or Trek Fuel EX 5, anyone have any info about these bikes or recommendations for other bikes that I should consider? My price range is around 1500€-2500€.
None of these bikes have motors on them. People aren’t really buying these conventional bikes any more.
Yeah, I’m not spending $3,000 on a bicycle. That’s retarded.
Aren’t those internal storage hubs really like crumple zones in the frame??
Got a merida 140 400 2020 model coz its the only one i can afford lol, what sre your thoughts on this bike? Cheers!

For the price of them they arent good bikes. I spent 2,500 on a 2020 virus escarpe vrs and it’s not available in stores yet and it’s better than every bike you’ve just showed lol
When I saw the bike: Im gonna get it
When I saw the price: shroud left the chat…
I have a giant anthem 2 2019, it’s designed as a XC trail bike. But in my opinion with the correct training, it’s great for descendant racing
Edit: I meant correct TUNING.
is it worth paying the couple hundred extra for the 2020 T8 over the t8 in this video?
What would be the best bike for me if I was a beginner/intermediate and was looking for under $500
What do people think of the scott sparks. Been ridding a Apollo talos C that a mate lends me and thinking about pulling the trigger on a dually
What do you recommend for a 50 year old American with a maximum price of $1,700?
Which of the Siskiu T8 or the Marin Alpine Trail 7 you think would be the most fun to ride for me? I’m 6’1, 185 pounds. I ride in Florida USA, there are lots of roots, some technical trails, sand, some flowy trails, some jumps and very little elevation. I’m also considering the Rift Zone 2 or 3 but why not more travel! I also noted the Siskiu T8 is pretty light compared to the two others. Thanks!
Great review, I personally have the 2018 Roscoe 9 and recently upgraded it with hope pro 4 29 inch wheels and scram gx
Hey everyone. I’m thinking about buying the EX8 and hoping someone can provide the dimensions to determine if it fits in my car. The dimensions I need are for a Size ML1) length from outside of back wheel to end of front dropout with front wheel off, back wheel on; 2) height from top of seat with dropper post at lowest position to floor with back wheel on and front wheel off; 3) height from top of handle bar to bottom of fork (floor) with back wheel on and front wheel off. Any help would be…helpful
I’ve got the 2019 Merida 140 600, is there much difference to the 2020 model?
I’m in the market for an E-MTB luckily my work does a bike to work scheme,
I am on a tight budget I only have £4000 to spend what is your recommendations for this budget?
I agree with the “extremely unaffordable” comments. I would also have to buy a large glass display case to keep the bike of choice in.
can you give me a bike coz I love bike but I don’t have that way..����
People who can afford these bikes probably don’t watch U TUBE
Top 5 enduro bikes? Really? I am not sure what parameters and research went into giving the statement on top 5 bikes. You know it’s nowhere close to truth. Hope the bike companies are not paying for false advertisements.
If the task was to pick the 5 least exiting bikes for 2020, then mission accomplished!
going to be a while before I can afford one of these babies, in the meantime I’ll have to make do with my Huffy
i have the 2020 roscoe 6. great bike in the roscoe line up. only upgrades i’m making is a dropper post and front suspension
All of these are honorable mentions…….nothing, NOTHING can come close to the SCOTT line ups! They are strong, beautiful, and the twin-loc suspension is unbeatable!
Another great example of your thorough explanation of how it works, thanks
“So which bikes will be flying off the showroom floors in 2020?”.
All of them.

Bikes that need to be on any “Top Enduro bike” list:
Canyon Strive
YT Capra
The Orbea looks terrible. Ugliest frame I’ve seen in a while.
Have the 2018 Roscoe 8 which was a lot cheaper. 1200 bucks I figured it was upgradable and am busy with that. 51 to 44 offset forks, better rear wheel and hubs, better brakes I prefer upgrading to make the bike suit me. That said I wouldn’t have dropped 1800 bucks on the 2020. The Roscoe 8 is the most fun bike I’ve ever ridden. If you’re not an upgrader like me it’s good value and you’ll have a lot of fun. I ride single track in Phoenix AZ. Hardtails rule!
giant trance 3 2020, kona process 134 or polygon siskiu t8? which is better
What’s maximum tire size that u can fit front and back, would a 3.8 fit?? Cheers
My Specialized Big Hit DH had a 24in rear wheel with 3in tire in 2002. That trend died soon after. Looks like nearly 20years later its making a comeback.
I live in Knoxville TN US and my biggest problem is deciding between enduro vs trail vs E bike. We have a lot more single track trail terrain but we have enduro options too.
I got the 2020 Fuel Ex and I have fallen in love with this bike. Absolutely incredible.
let me tell you who is complaining about only being able to grab a water bottle with your left hand on that orbea…. me.. I’m left handed and is is super sketchy to try to grab a water bottle with my left hand (take my left hand off the bars in general) for me… deal breaking design choice for myself.. not sure about for all left handers.. but I’m especially left handed and need my left hand on the bars when trying to grab a bottle.
I want to buy a hard tail this year, I don’t know what bikes brands are the best to invest in. Any recommendations?
The Knolly Fugitive LT destroys all of these bikes. But you wouldn’t know.
Way over priced bikes raping the consumers. Frames made in China on $5000 bikes?
Whatthahell about Banshee Bikes? WTFUCK? BansheeForLife!! Y’all should do a proper comparison…
Gonna go with the fuel ex on this one. Although, those intense bikes are looking slick.
Wheres the pole machine at they out do all of these weenie bikes
Are trail bikes with 140mm forks too much for the xc trails?
Not a mention of my new Marin Rift Zone 1.
Check this bike out it blew my mind.
Bikes way too expensive for me, but love to hear and see the new tech
What our your opinions on the Canyon Spectral Al 6.0 vs YT Jeffsy Comp
Plenty of good bikes out there. Just pick & choose! U can barely go wrong.
more like “top 5 bikes we were paid to call top bikes of 2020”
You need to be giving prices, cos believe it or not this is still relevant to the vast majority… gmbn do this! Why not you? this is an extremely lazy review.
All of these bikes are amazing, but not everyone can afford $4k for a bike. Maybe you could do the same thing but with quality lower cost trail bikes.
Im about to buy my first full suspension bike and i don’t know of i’ll go with a trail bike or save a bit more and go enduro. Any advice?
Hm… So Specialized frame storage is S.W.A.T. Does that mean Trek has T.W.A.T storage?
Love the 79’er idea! Intense isn’t really alone on it tho. There are several companies doing it (YT Decoy). And FOES has been doing it forever (Mixer).
Of course, we will all spend 5k on a bike.. overkill for 99 %
So cool to see more bike manufactures using in-frame storage. I wonder if you could cut on in your self.
A nice list of bikes for sure.
When can we expect a full review
i’m currently waiting for my 2019 cube stereo 120 race to arrive… looking for a “one bike for it all” with a 130mm rockshox sector fork and 120mm manitou radium expert rear. planning to do mainly flowtrails, some gnarlier singletrails, miles on flat ground but also the occasional jump up to 0,50 1,00m max.
are you familiar with the rockshox sektor (32mm stenchions, debonair, motioncontrol)? i’ve done some research and test rides but unfortunately haven’t found a in-depth test/rewiew on neither the 120 race nor the sektor fork. am still a little unsure if the 32mm stanchions can manage the gnarlier trials. cheers, mara����
Vitus seems to ship out with pre-rusted chain, so you don’t have to be scared of getting it corroded. Also lighter since there is already some metal missing
What? Where’s the Yeti SB140 Doddy??? We’re talking about the hottest trail bikes of 2020 and you forgot this one?
Has MBR ridden the Occam yet? Looking forward to the test if not.
Also any reason why the Muddy Fox Courier Comp wasn’t included in the list?
You didn’t mention the Giant Trance 3…. I know where you live..!!!
I like how they leave out brands like Commencal, Ibis and Canyon. Most likely because those brands aren’t lining the pockets at MBR… Then again they don’t need to because those bikes are superior in all aspects.
Bought two of these today. My wife and I finally decided we couldn’t handle our “expensive big box bikes” any longer and ditched them for these Trek Roscoe 8’s. Almost bout the Stache but didn’t want to spend more than $2k for a bike when we were buying two. We took them on their first run already and obviously they are way far and above our GT Aggressor Pro’s. We bought the GT’s because we weren’t sure if we were going to really get into MTBing but now that we are, this was a logical choice to not stray too far from where we started but still put us on something that can kick trail-butt. It’s going to be a game changer for us.
So interesting to watch (again)!! No one like you to comment on mtb’s
why does it weigh practically the same as the marlin 5 when its 3 times more in $$?
these prices are absurd the bike manufacturers have majorly coined in on this new gimmick. good on them for ripping everyone off.get them fat boys up them hills.
Thank you so much for this awesome review!!! Can you also do a review on a BAKCOU e-bikes if possible? https://ebikegeneration.com/blogs/news/top-7-electric-hunting-bikes-for-2019
Merida! Thank you for that review of the Merida. very well said review
I would like to have any bike but am from Kenya we can’t afford one…so these bikes are the best so far that have seen and awesome there is none in kenya
Guys… just leave it… try this one https://emb.bg/en/😀 will knock you off your shoes:) it goes by 85km/h:) and you can buy 2 for the price of one here in the video:))) muhahahhaha
is this bike ok
https://www.evanscycles.com/trek-marlin-5-2020-mountain-bike-EV369253
edit: also im 5 foot 2 at the moment so what size bike do i need
Bruh. He messed up the name but whatever, also they have NOT had a 140mm travel fork until now. That’s just the first 2 mins..
If anyone does want an electric bike then give my Moustache Samedi 27 Race 9 Carbon a viewing on Gumtree in England. Only done 115 miles on it and still in showroom condition with no scratches at all. Contact me through WhatsApp once you see my mobile number within the add and I can give you a video tour of the bike. Trust me you will be amazed. Offers welcome! https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Moustache-Samedi-Race-9-Carbon-2018
slx or xt on the brakes. xtr is ovrkill. xtr on the drivetrain. dt swiss on hub and wheel sets. renthal on stem and bar. almost any drop post. i like specialized for saddles and drop posts. rockshox or fox for suspension. there ya go i built a bike.
Interesting just how much the XR3+ tread pattern differs from the XR3 team issue I have on my X-Cal. I guess they see that extra half inch or so and the designers go, “There’s so much room for activities!”
Specialize bike cost me around $30k+ after currency converted ��
Rob…… You’ve done it again, good work mate… My mind is all over the shot on what bike to grab;) #kudos
hey rob, love the review but if anyone can find i got a felling you is the guy, review super cheap but good quality ebike bro, i know it’s impossible cause ebike most is min price $300 lol
How much feet is tall bike maybe 6 or 7 feet i reckon for this bike i am 1.86 m tall
I just bought a 2016 Ford Fiesta full spec sport van for £7k. How do they justify these prices?
Its funny that my “all mountain” has more travel than several of these “enduros”. All great bikes.
Take a look at QuietKat fat-tire ebikes at quietkat.com Use the coupon code EAGLE for 10% off and free shipping including on the new Jeep ebike!
If only it had more travel like a proper trail bike. Love the colours and the value for money really makes this a tempting deal for the average mountain biker
I saw posts by the crankset, can you install a double crankset up front on this model?
I’ve been mountain biking on a very aggresive 26 inch wheel hardtail for just over 2 years now. I hate how small the wheels are and I just wish i had a full supension bike. If i were to upgrade now to a fullsuspension with a dropper post on a budget which specific bikes would you reccomend?
Hi mate I’m getting ready to fork out for the preorder siskiu t8, I just want to be sure about the fitting, I’ve used their fitting guide and depending on the day I measure it puts me on the m 29er or the large 29er, I’m 178cm and I hate being between sizes, our local tracks are a mix of flowy with rocky rooty switchbacks, I’m just hoping you can help me with what I should base my decision on. I’m in North Queensland so I can’t go and try the sizes.
It’s strange that most of the models in this video copied the Transition SBG geometry but you didn’t mention the Transition Smuggler.
Wtf is with this world. You weld a few pieces together,put 2 wheels and a small electric motor and you charge almost the same amount as a decent car or a good motorcycle.
Did you know theres a hidden chain breaker and spare links in the tube on the handle bar of the kenevo?
Would like to se Rocky Mountain Altitude/Instinct and Moustache Samedi compared to these bikes.
Cool, when I win the lottery someday I can afford one of these:) In the meatime my Cube Acid Hybrid Pro 500 would have to suffice:)
For this price they need to grind the welds like their road bikes & have a slacker HT angle.
Why is it they gotta make everything lighter I mean look how thin the frame is I bet I could snap that frame first jump plus trek is junk
I think the Nukeproof Reactor is an appalling specification for that sort of money, they’re £3700 here in the UK and you get SX Eagle and a Brand X Ascend dropper post!? SX Eagle is the LOWEST spec they do, I have it on my £950 hard tail from Trek and the Brand X Ascend dropper is as budget a dropper as you can get (I have owned one and it was great but they can be had for under £100 sometimes). Revelation fork isn’t expensive and the brakes are left severely lacking for this prices.
Don’t get me wrong I want to love the Reactor but as a value proposition it’s pathetically bad. Great video though and some decent picks, the lower end bikes do represent some value propositions.
Hi Robin,
I am your follower who writes you from Italy.
I wanted to know if you have seen or tried the BULLS SONIC EN2 2020 and what you think.
I intend to buy an Enduro Mtb with Bosch motor from around € 5000 and I would like a tip between Radon Render 9.0 and Bulls Sonic EN2.
Good day
Any eMTB out there with a class 3 motor (assist up to 28mph)?
I want that s-works enduro but in 27.5
Until then I will be riding my evil insurgent
Well that all looks pretty terrifying so I think I‘ll stick with my e-trekking bike.
If ill add a front derailleur with a 36/26 chainring. Will it it shift properly..
Do these bikes come with reasonable mileage 2nd hand cars included in the price? 7k for a bike?
Damn, I was hoping for some around £500 lol, I wish I was rich where I could buy a bike for 5k. the most I’ve ever spent on something was my TTS and some of these bike nearly cost the same 0_0
4,599 pounds is extremely reasonably priced? Then Says youll be trying all the latest electric mountain bikes? You mean only super expensive ones? How about the eahora am100. Hell even haibike makes bikes for 3500 dollars. I dare you to try real budget bikes. They do exist out there if your looking for them. And people that can afford these bikes will greatly appreciate it. These bikes are cool and your videos are well done but be realistic, this is like trying to sale a Ferrari to some one who can only afford a honda.
Hi there. Iam from INDIA. Iam confused which to buy? Either GT verb ELITE 2018 of Trek X caliber 8 2020. Please guide. Thanks in advance.
Hey James, love your videos they are my go to now ������������ so thanks. I got back into mtb after 30 years and bought the rockhopper put slicks on it and just used it for fitness, after about 3 months I started doing gravel and finally I am full Bush riding goat tracks ( I am in Australia) and I absolutely love it. I was going to upgrade my components but soon found out to do so would cost more then a new specialized fuse with fox 34 on at $1800 I am very close to buying it but I like to ride to all my trails ( usually by road or path ) and since I have put knobbies on I am a lot slower but chalk and cheese when I do get into the Bush. My question is would the fuse be too upright for the 30k road ride and 15 k trail or should I go more gravel cross but I know that’s just not going to handle what I am doing? So basically I need something I can ride at a decent pace that will handle downhill/ uphill cheers
I’ve just demoed a focus jam 6.9 it’s up for 4500 can I get better for money I was looking at the kona that is cheaper and has a 500w
All these tech e-bikes are way over priced.. wait a year, then buy.
2.6 inch tires are the sweet size. Very confidence inspiring bit lighter than plus. Thanks Trek. Specialized does that also with their stumpjumper of which I have. I even race on 2.6. Love the traction to weight ratio. Nice job
I was going to buy 6 of these bikes instead I got myself an 2019 Audi avant rs6
5500 pounds is only,guess it’s is if u are gay in Britain..
A bit off topic…I hardly see any vids on trek E bikes are they junk? My budget is the Power fly 5 hard tail
Got a say 29 ” wheels worry me I bought my 27.5 lapierre zesty 5 year ago and think it’s to big for me at 5ft 6 dont enjoy it as much as 26″ wheel downhill bike I had why they insist on going for massive wheels what about us shortys?
I have a smash guard on my endro…..for a reason…..what do you recommend on protecting the bottom bracket and the bottom part of the battery. i want to keep drivetrain safe.. digg your videos. cheers!
I don’t understand why e bikes are so expensive (even budget models). How come I can buy a remarkable motorcycle for the same money? Is it all about economies of scale?
Im confused the tiles says 8 and you said 5
Anyways as always i like your videos love it
Bike radar: we’re not going to include Ebikes in this mix
Ebikers: cries in pedal assist
Rub some of these are not available in the United States is that right? Focus how The giant and Santa Cruz measure up?
6, Commencal 5, Giant 4, GT 3, yeti 2, SantaCruz 1, S-work ������
I have the Giant Reign Advanced Pro 1 and it is an absolute blast, thing needs a good track to be let out proper.
people like to knock maestro for having not changed in so long. look at porsche…
Tons of errors, in this video, most with respect to historical bike model comparisons
These cost THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS..LIKE 3-7K…NOPE..AIIGHT IMMA HEAD OUT
Nice job on the reviews. Curious to get your opinion on the 30th anniversary special edition Siskiu T8 compared to the standard T8.
Never buy Trek
They do not support police and caved to libral media
Last Trek product I will ever buy
Support Police
are Atherton bikes available to the public yet? you mentioned them but I wasn’t aware that they were available to the public
This, the 2020 Roscoe 7 or 2020 Fuse Comp 27.5 for $1450?!?!? Any thoughts?
Pivot switchblade or firebird everybody knows that, u hear me!
1.-Radon JAB 10.0 HD
2.YT Capra
3.Cubre Stereo HPC
4.Pivot MAch 5.5
5.Ibis Mojo HD5
Were not going to include E-Bikes, we have to draw the line…….at normal bikes that you will never be able to afford either.
The fact that two bikes are brit, no mention of YT Or Canyon, shows Serious partisan commentary from Radar. Come on guys be better.
no remedy or slash?? where have you been the last decade these are all random bikes
This list is terrible lol. I would maybe ride 1 of these bikes.
The Rocky Mountain Slayer is a very good ride too. Can blast down hills and comfortably climb.
7:29 yeah I dont think Kirt Voreis is going to be getting one anytime soon
Bullshit list! Not one of these bikes are on my radar. Ibis, Nukeproof, Evil and YT Capra for starters are all at the top!
Dear James, thank you for your Video, great Info, I’ve a question about Frame Size which would be better, because I am exactly between ML and L and I don’t know which one would fit better. Because I’m not experienced biker and 41 so my back prefers comfortable riding. I’m 84 Kg, 182cm tall and stride length is 83cm so I’m between ML and L Frame Size. Which one would you recommend with your expirience? Thank you
Canyon Spectral definitely deserves a spot here. Canyon Strive is quite awesome too!
Is it just me or does the new s-works enduro use quite similar design as the old gt helion…
Don’t get me wrong, it works a charm but hardly new
You should do Vitus Sommet VR vs Calibre Sentry, Battle of the budget enduro rigs.
“Top 5. 2020 Least Bang for Your Buck Enduro Bikes”. YT, Canyon and Commencal make way better specced bikes for around the same price point as these. I’d argue that a Vitus Sommet or Escarpe would outperform almost all of these for around $2k.
Just a thought. Debadge everything and test them. Bet you will be surprised.
Just saying the sb 150 is better than literally every bike on this list.
Top 5 2020 Enduro Bikes You’ll Be Able To Buy Second Hand in 7 Years Time
I have a roscoe 8 2020 with maxis tyres will I need to change the rear hub?I’m also in the process of buying a supercaliber 9.7 my first full suspension, what do you think of that particular trek is it a wise buy?
My dream bike is a trek 2008 because I cannot afford a new bike
Great informative review I’ve been riding Trek since 1995:) and my current bike a 6500 has been in use for 15 years alone. I am 6 foot 1 and thinking of getting this bike in XL. The sizing guide on the trek site says that I really need a L (19,5) but because I have long legs and importantly long gangly arms everything on the 6500 is set on the limit and it always felt a bit small. Whats your experience with the XL? does it feel like a big bike or is the sizing more on the small size?
good list of nice bikes, but i don’t agree that the 29er is faster. for some riders is the smaller wheel size of 27.5 faster. but i personally think that they 27.5+ will creap its way into the enduro market and will be very good whilst doing it.
my top 3 would be (the only 3 enduro bikes i have ever tried)
1 nukeproof mega (tried the 2018)
2 trek remedy (own the 2019)
3 specialized enduro. (tried the 2015 and 2019)
(only reason why the enduro is on third place is its price, no way to get an enduro at a decent price for your average rider and for that reason isn’t it as good as the two other bikes i mentioned)
I love my Whyte G-170. It climbs well (not technical, though); but, it is pure joy and fun to let loose down hill. It is stable, lively, playful and eats up everything thrown at it.
In my option the all new commencal clash should def be on this list, it’s an amazing bike for the price(s)
I just can’t get on the Specialized train. So damned expensive, and yeah I think they are overpriced. I feel like there are more affordable options that give just as good of a ride.
Like your selection. You could do a top 50 list and still some would complain their favourite is not included…
Pivot Firebird is better than all these. Cheaper, too when you factor in the 10 year warranty.
Your calibre sentre I do agree are good value bikes but for the same price you can get a yt, which I think is a better bike £2700 delivered to your door but without the obvious dealer back up, they do look after you but it does mean sending parts back to Germany.
Bafang BBSHD kit beats all of them in performance for fraction of the cost. And the ability to choose any superb bike to go with it.
And if you really need enclosed frame (what’s with your priorities?) check out this beast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_vapoze3EQ
If we listen to this videos we will have to change bikes every two months. I realice every day more that the better riders I have see they don’t ride the most expensive and latest bikes they just got the skill to read the terrain and also the worse riders are the ones who have expensive bikes just to show everyone else they can afforded and the spend loads of money buying the lasted upgrades and they cant even ride properly the bikes.
Mountain bikers are kinda getting soft with the huge travels. Like this up if your still riding a hardtail
2000 lbs that’s an heavy bike than put an extra 800 lbs on top of that that’s over a ton of weight!!!
Just got the Commencal Meta Tr 29 Signature what an absolute beast of a bike! Aggressive trail and dips into the enduro just in case! Fox Factory Kashima 36 Fork 150mm, DPX2 130 mm rear, Transfer Dropper! ��
Why can’t I just find a mountain bike for normal riding? Like, I don’t care that I can’t drop down a 10-story building or go down the mount Everest. I don’t want to bounce from rock to rock like Mario or launch myself off of ramps like Sonic. I just want a bike that is good enough for riding with my buddies and riding through forests and slightly uneven surfaces, but no one seems to understand that…
Shouldn’t a mullet bike be 29 in the rear 27.5 front? With a mullet there’s more hair at the back. I don’t know why you’d want to ride something like that though.
The fact that the Yeti SB150 and the Santa Cruz Megatower aren’t on this list is confusing considering they’ve been winning more races and selling in higher numbers than everything else on this list other than the Specialized Enduro
This might be my next bike… coming from a Trek Superfly…
what about Propain’s Hugene? Bikeradar’s trail of the year:)
Bikes I missed!
Fezzari Cascade Peak
Orbea Occam H 30
Update: I have been made aware that CRC orders already have GST and import tax included in the price! “The prices of all items shipped to Australia, including those over AUD1,000, include Australian GST and, if applicable, Australian import duties.” Enjoy the savings!
Hi there I’ve enjoyed viewing your buyers guides. I am interested in your thoughts on the Vitus Mythique 29 VRX which is an upgrade of the VRS.
What about the cube stereo 150 c:62 Race 29?
Relatively high weight, but looks like it has some good stuff on it, like a carbon frame��
looks like there is redundancy now between this and the x-caliber 9. They are pretty close in price point as well. I suspect the x-caliber 9 might be phased out.
Front wheel drive magnetic regenerative tracking no suspension best wheels frame like road bike moar
What do think of the Giant Trance 3 for a level entry dual suspension bike?
https://www.giant-bicycles.com/au/trance-29-3
This year’s new Norco Sight would have been a great pick for your list also
Hey man, thank you for the vid it was really helpfull. Isn’t the weight a little bit too much for the price range? Also, do you think this is a good bike for an area where there are a lot of pretty hard climbs?
What about the New am100s by Rockrider with a 150mm rockshox fork up front and 140mm of Travel on rear, NX eagle transmission and an pretty nice alluminium frame
Hi James: Will you be doing the entry level 2020 Specialized Stumpjumper ST and compare it against other entry level full-suspension bikes?
the only thing is the specialized enduro costs more than my house
Cannot understand why everyone tells Canyon spectral woul be to active in the back. I ride one but it’s so firm I didnt ever turn lock-on to active xD. If I wanted an xc bike I wouldnt even buy a fully just because of weight…
Can tell you the spectral is a beast on the trails and I think it’s more Enduro than trail at least. Maybe the better (cheaper) Strive.
What is wrong with you guys do you ignore SCOTT for some reason or just out of spite. You even had TREK in there but the Scott GENIUS and even the spark would be on that list for sure but I don’t know what you don’t like about them.
That is one very very nice machine! Great review by the way too….I don’t know if I would get a carbon or aluminium they’re both great! Decisions decisions!��
I live a 45 minute drive from Whistler, British Columbia so these are the trails i’ll be hitting. What bike do you recommend for Whistler?
Great video! Thanks for all the information. I just bought the 2020 Roscoe 7 and I love it though after watching your video i feel i should have spent the extra 400 bucks and bought the Roscoe 8:) it has better quality components!
How about Cube Stereo 140 HPC Race?
https://www.99bikes.com.au/cube-stereo-140-hpc-race-27-5-16in-bluegrey-red-2020-1
$3499 AUD @ 99 bikes
Why do you recommend 29” for the Vitus Mythique VRS? And would you say that applies as well for even a small sized Vitus Mythique VRS?
Thanks!
I wanna get into this but I’m not sure what’s a good entry level bike I’m 5’5 and would like a bike that’s under $500 if there is any recommendations I’m all ears.
Shame the new 2020 sight 29 wasn’t mentioned, awesome value for the a3, I’ll be buying one from FTR and getting magneg from NSD. 3270 from 99 bikes. Even the a2 and above are still great value
Did you know that you could buy 2 YT Capra pro race (which is the top model) for the same price as one s-works enduro.
I love the fact that your unit of money is Aussie dollars cause i hate having to convert money every time I try to find a bike
I’d give ANYTHING for one of these bikes,…except money, that part I don’t have,..but anything else? Fine!
Me again:)… you forgot Fezzari, the Cascade should be on this list. Great specs but I know you have a hard time getting them in Australia.
Where is calibre bossnut 2020? Probably the best value mountain bike ever created
Hi is the merida one forty 700 going to make a good trail bike for climbing aswell?its not any heavier than the a trail bike,how would it compare to the bikes in your trail category?thanks
Would a 10 Grand bike make me a better rider, NO!
Would a 10 Grand bike make me never want to take it outside in case it get nicked, YES!
Cheaper bikes are more fun and less nickable.
Stopped watching after I realized I would never be able to afford any of these bikes.
Which of these bikes would you reccomend
1. Canyon spectral al 6.0
2. Orbea occam h30
3. Canyon strive cf 5.0
YT Capra, Canyon Strive and Nukeproof Mega are the top 3 enduro bikes of 2019. They are the best at uphill, downhill, handling and price/performance.
What about the Scott genius 930? The twin lockout actually isn’t a gimmick after riding it I’m sold on getting one.
how’s it goin’ mate how come you didn’t include the 2020 specialized stumpjumper ST ALLOY 27.5 or 29 that’s just above the 2k price range. some of the specs are the same as some of the mtb that you mentioned, like the front suspension rockshox recon or revelation and rear suspension the x fusion
Of course these are top 5. These prices are well over the majority of peoples budget
I’m debating between the polygon Siskiu t7 and the stance 2 2020. What are the main positives and negatives of both bikes?
Do u think the spectral 5.0 would be a bad buy for me as I’m not an aggressive trail rider. Really like the bike but has a lot of travel. Any advise appreciated
I like your videos and reviews, but i’am from Portugal and here only de big brands. can you help me choose? I ‘am between Giant Trance 29 3, Orbea Occam H30, Cube stereo 120 race, Merida One-twenty 9 400 and specialized stumpjumper st, all 29ers.
I’m looking a a Merida one forty should I get the 700 or 800 price is nearly the same
I’ve just discovered your fantastic channel. Thanks for making awesome videos! I would love to see a Buyers guide for DH bikes. I race DH in QLD and looking for an upgrade in 2020.
Hopeless reviews. Doesn’t say what range these bikes give on the tracks. Talks about slack geometry but not mileage!
The line between trail fun and descending prowess can get blurry these days. Gotta be honest about where you ride MOST OF THE TIME. Everybody wants more travel but most people don’t need it.
Is there anymore bikes you could recommend in the 3000-4000 price category
2000 dollars is still quite a lot of money to spend on a bike, even tho most pro mountain bikers bikes cost that much. Or sometimes a little less. For people watching this you can still get a older mountain bike from a few years ago with modern geometry for 400 to 500 dollars. Yeah its gonna be a little beaten up but most likely its gonna be your first bike so your most likely gonna have it for a year or two before getting rid of it anyways.
Ps i got my first real mtb this year which is a 2013 trek 3500. An i got it for $170, which is a good bike for the cost.
any recommendation on someone between sizes on this? I’m 6’2″ with a 34″ inseam and not sure if i go with L or XL. Trek’s website even said i’m in the middle so just pick one.
I don’t have the 2020 trek fuel ex 7. But I do have the 2007 model!
The price you quote on the Mythique is incorrect, GST and import tax are already built into the price shown on Chain Reaction. The only additional cost is the freight around $150 freight at Wiggle is usually cheaper than CRC. I have just bought my 3rd bike from CRC-Wiggle this year so this info is correct. Newest bike landed today 2020 Nukeproof Reactor 290 Elite that I got with a 17% discount:)
Trek mountain bikes are all blending into one, some of their models are almost the same?
Im thinking about buying a bianchi methanol CV Or a canyon NEURON AL young hero which one would you guys choose im thinking about the canyon beacause Its way more cheaper
I think the vitus sommet vr is better value for money than the sentry
The nukeproof reactor is a beast of a bike and shouldn’t go on the bottom of the list
If you got a kid and she/he wants to get a Mountain bike to cruise i recommend a Mongoose cipher 20 inch
I have a polygon hardtail and it hasn’t broken on me yet and I weigh 105kg. A polygon will be my choice for a full suss.
Hi do you know what the difference is between the rear shock on the fuel ex 7 compared the the ex8?
What’s the difference with these bikes and the short travel bikes?
If its using the same frame as the x caliber 8 series.Why does this can fit a fork that is 120mm of travel?
But on the x-caliber frame the most i could fit is 100mm of travel?
In need of help!! thank youu
What about Transition? They have scout and sentinel (new models) coming out this year
Hey all, 2020 surely will be the best year for ebikes! What you want to see on the channel? Let me know below!
Review of Trek Roscoe 8 2020. In the efforts of full disclosure, I had given this bike positive reviews when I first got it back in September of 2019. However, after getting my MTB skills back, I can say that this bike is not designed for serious trail riding. It’s basically a hyped up weekend rider you can take on dirt roads. Having been an avid MTBer back in the late 80s, and 90s on, I had taken a 10 year hiatus. Not sure if I would still have my skills and not wanting to drop a ton on a full suspension, I opted for the Roscoe 8. This was against my better judgment, as I had owned a Trek 930 (Rigid) and had promised myself that I’d never buy another Trek. Unfortunately, with the lack of any objective reviews for the Roscoe 8 (most reviews online parrot the Trek’s advertising) and my failure to really study the dimensions on this bike, I made the same mistake again.
What I like about the bike—it’s not bad to look at, and it comes tubeless “ready”; you need to tape the rims. It has a decent dropper post and front suspension lock-out. What I dislike:
(1) the frame geometry, in my opinion, was designed so they could minimize shipping costs—I’m 5’11” and I opted for a large. The steep head tube angle and short wheel base give the rider the impression of riding a tall barstool on wheels. In addition, the plus tires unfortunately deform around any obstructions on the trial (as they’re designed), which further amplifies this bike’s tendency to “chock” its wheels on the smallest obstruction. Any benefit from the 27.5 wheels is completely lost. This thing loves to throw its rider over the bars. Even on serious uphills, the front tire is more inclined to “chock” rather than track like you would expect for a 27.5 wheel.
(2) The plus size tires on this frame increase the instability of the ride. I love plus size tires, but on this hard tail, when the shocks compress even minimally and the tire compresses—the rider experiences a super-steep head tube angle. This requires hyper-vigilant scrutiny of the trail directly in-front for even the smallest obstructions. I recently rode a friend’s Pivot on one of my practice trails that I ride almost daily. I was confused that I didn’t recognize the surroundings, until I realized I didn’t have to stare at the trial 5’ in front of me.
(3) Unfortunately, to combat the limitations of the frame geometry, the tires have to be inflated to higher pressure, and the front shock has to be stiffened. One of the minor drawbacks of plus size tires there is the capacity to laterally rebound—and with this short wheelbase, the bike gets squirrelly and yaws. On this bike, you don’t choose a line through a rock garden, you just hang on and ping-pong through.
(4) Trek advertised the 2020 Roscoe 8 being equipped with Maxxis Minions, although in very tiny lawyer-ease script they reserved the right to change any of the specifications. The classic bait and switch and violá, mine came with Bontrager XR3. THEY SUCK. When encountering any moisture, the only gripping that occurs is the tire’s phenomenal ability to pack itself with mud and never let go. Basically you wind up with muddy slicks. In addition, the significant amount of knobby surface in relation to the contour of the tire results in its inability grab on to any uneven surface. When climbing over rocks or roots, you’ll inevitably hear the Bontrager “fart,” as the tire rapidly looses traction and spins uncontrolled over the obstruction, making a “strawberry” sound. These tires are great for dirt roads and smooth trails, but they can’t cut any serious off-road, and have to be replaced—right out of the box.
(5) Miscellaneous stuff: The steep seat-tube angle and short chain stay do not make this bike a great climber. You really have to do some world class gymnastics on this thing to try to keep the front-end down, enough weight on the back tire to keep from loosing tractions, and still maintain balance and pedaling geometry. I was surprised to learn that this thing doesn’t have sealed on the head tube—it has an old fashion bearing race like my first Huffy banana seat. I found out because dirt got into it and I had to disassemble it and repack it with grease—super fun! Lastly, the seat sucks—the front is pointy enough to do double duty as a weapon. This gives it the uncanny ability to skewer and grip your riding-shorts when you stand up on the pedals (luckily, I wear padded underwear, so I haven’t mooned anyone… well, not fully.)
I’m not trying to be a buzz kill—if you have a Roscoe and you like it, more power to you. However, I wish there were more objective reviews online before I bought mine; in my opinion, it’s a good solid entry level bike, but it’s not going to provide a stable and adequate MTB platform for a decent rider looking to ride moderately challenging terrain. I wish I had waited and saved up for a better bike (not a Trek).
Those welds are fugly as hell. My oldschool 26’ Trek 4300 has better looking welds. This was one of the reasons I opted for a 9.6 Procaliber.
I’ve had mine for 2 weeks. Absolutely love it! Eventually I’m going to get a full squish as well but for the type of riding I do now, this beast is great
Hi I’m from Santa Cruz county first time mountain bike consumer I walked in test road it and fell in love well my wife did we bought 2 for 3k
What would go in your Top 5 2020 Mountain Bike list? Let us know in the comments!
I have an old one I love it and it has been through the wringer, unfortunately mine came with it Judy fork.. I have done just about everything with it and still going strong, of course there are better but for the money this is a good buy in my opinion.
I bought the Giant Reign but on 27.5″ version and it’s awesome
I hope you never stop making videos man. Best mtb channel on youtube! Super informative on everything id like to know! You’re definitely helping me narrow down to the perfect next mtb for myself thank you. And cheers from the pacific northwest!
Edit: my only downfall is im seeing this video too late and it seems difficult to find any of these bikes in stock��
I just bought this. I immediately upgraded to a raceface atlas stem, 780 raceface carbon bar, chromag contact peddles.
Should I buy a Swiss rear hub or hope 4? Would I stay with the 141 or? Some feed back would be sweet:) I have a diety crankset I may put on as well.
still made in china let me know when we manufacture it in our own country again TRUMP 2020 then i will buy the product until its stamped american not worth the investment lol wisconsin china sell out
I love my 2020 roscoe 8 its a beast it climbs so good an easy, might do a video on a trail sometime
I bought a 2019…rides great but in like less than 2 months I had multiple things broken,if your not new into bikes you gotta build it these fuckin bikes assemble in China worth shit
I’m giggly like a school girl waiting for my test ride on that beaut.������
What’s the difference between this and the women’s, desides the saddle and colour? As covid has stopped anything coming into Australia the only thing left is the women’s and as purple is actually a cool colour I’m thinking of getting it!
In today’s world who even uses quick releases instead of thru axles?
Thats going to be my first bike, cant wait to ride it. Very nice video
they all look the same to me. just a few minor changes and name.
The forme lathkill and black rock full suspension e bike would be sweet.
This would be my first bike, I am looking to get this or a verve 3. This has the advantage on trails but how would this do against the verve 3 speed wise?
Nice bikes, and glad they are affordable for us poorer folk. I don’t want to spend more than £25,000 for an electric mountain bike.
Does it share the same frame with the x caliber? Because the fork angle is like 2 degrees different between them…
i’ve just bought this, is it easy to remove the orange decals?
I’m a confirmed Trek lover and I love my 2015 Trek Fuel EX 9.8, much upgraded and lightened, weighing in at a tad under 23lbs all up. Y’know, I can’t help but think that a lot of the so called ‘improvements’ on the 2020 (and recent) bikes are for improvements’ sake; the market and buyers want ‘improvements’. The jury really is out on the knock block ( I have it on a Powerfly LT 7), and how far is the ‘fashion’ of slackening the head angle going to go? Having a more upright seat angle really achieves very little (apart from effectively increase reach) if, as you should do, set your seat position correctly for efficient power transfer and that is NOT sitting over the BB! In practise, one rarely has to move forwards on the saddle to ‘help climbing’ unless it is VERY steep. In which case, just do that, move forwards on the saddle for the duration of that short steep climb. I mean, you’re not going to topple over backwards or lose traction on even pretty steep climbs by sitting in the efficient saddle position, ie not over the BB. In any case, why adjust a saddle position to account for what is, in truth (we’re talking VERY steep climbs here) a very minor part of your ride? Much better to enjoy an efficient seating position for the other 95% of your ride. That’s a riding position that allows your glutes to work properly plus other well proven biometric effects. For reference, seat position: Sitting on the bike, position one foot forwards so the crank is parallel to the floor at 3 o’clock. Hold a length of string with a weight on the end at the front of your knee. The string should drop down in line with the pedal axle. So, manufacturers can increase or decrease the seat angle as much as they like to follow fashion or for nebulous ‘gains’, but that’s how it should be done; the seat angle should NOT dictate saddle fore and aft position, biometrics does that.
I think this is a great starter bike for trails and biking in general> share4.photo/MountainBike?V Build quality is pretty good but the instructions on putting it together could be better.
I just got a 2020 Roscoe 6 and love it, I went with the 6 because I’m just getting back into riding and I knew I’d be upgrading parts as I progress. I come from a bmx background and have already upgraded the seat and post to a pivotal setup (stranger tie dye seat), odyssey twisted PC pedals (pink and black swirl), and sunday Jake Seeley hand grips (pink and black swirl). The next upgrade will be a crank set with an external bottom bracket. I absolutely love this bike.
Perfect for this ecq and gcq time. Eco bike https://eccobike.ca/?ref=leamadrid24%40gmail.com
If you had to pick between the specialized fuse comp or this trek roscoe 8 which would you choose? I’m going back and forth between the two!
I want to buy a MTB and this looks awesome. Is it also a good bike on tarmac to ride a good distance or should I buy let’s say a Trek Caliber 9?
Hmm. Banshee, Yeti, Nicolai, Evil, Knolly, Canfield Brothers, Transition, Santa Cruz, Mondraker, Ibis, Intense. Hmm.
For the huge amount of money you pay for MTB’s, it’s really upsetting to see companies who don’t grind down and smoothen out the welds. Cannondale, YT and Focus are some of the brands that sand down the welds for a cleaner look.
I work in the public safety feild and the department just got me one of these, it’s a awesome bike. Very fast
I admire the quality and price affordability (any bike over a $grand, is just not worth-it), of #NukeproofBikes. But with a website that takes forever to load and is “Not secure,” I avoid the purchasing-the-brand. Why these popular bike companies, have un-secured/unreliable sites, is just laziness and stupidity.
just bought this bike, it’s my first bike and I get it on Wednesday
Selling QR frames in 2020 for a premium brand price is just stupid. There are so many brands that offer better geometry and real boost 148/12 through axle, for the same parts and maybe even lower price, it’s not even funny.
Less and less people are buying non-motorized mt bikes any more. These conventional version are going to be gone within a decade except for in museums.
I have been looking at Plus Hardtails myself and have test ridden several, the Roscoe 8 is definitely at the top of my list. I know little “parking lot” rides don’t do justice, but I was able to ride grassy areas, curbs (I used them like skinnies), and levees/banks on most of the Hardtails, but I found that the Trek was definitely a better handling and fit. I hope to be purchasing a Trek Roscoe 8 in the next month.
Hard trails are the funnest trail bikes.
People can afford decent hardtails too.

Is the trek x-caliber 9 2020 a good choice or is there better for the same price
Wait, there was this one bike, I can’t remember the name(similar to you guys), as it wasn’t even casually mentioned in this video. I think it won the ENDURO World Series championship like, I don’t know, THREE years in a row…. What was the name of that bike? Man, I can’t think of it…. smh.
Thanks for the vid. I have XR3’s on my X-cal. Cool to see they are doing a plus size for 2020!
I just bought the inaugural 2018 on Craigslist what sacrifices did I settle for in getting the 2018?
It’s the color of an Orange Crush can, kind of growing on me being in Colorado, near enough to Denver.
Anyone know what the new cost was?
INCREDIBLE BIKE!!! Thank you for taking the time to review it and explain it like you did. I just purchased the exact bike 2020 Fuel EX 8 this week. Just got my first trail ride in and LOVED it!!
Is this worth it compared to the Roscoe 7? Thinking of buying 1 of em.i just like the paintjob waaay more then the Roscoe 8.
As a millionaire I’ll be able to afford these once they’re 5 years old and used
Can we please just mention how stupid of an idea it was to put a QR on this!!? A thru-axle would’ve suited this farrrrrrr more and allowed for more customization and getting beaten down tracks.
3:00 so you are really saying that you can´t replace the battery on your own? I call BS on that one.. of course you can.
Not to bring politics here but it is refreshing to start seeing black mountain bikers in these videos. Please, keep it up!
is the front fork compatible with a 29er wheel as I know the back of the bike is
So not only do Americans refuse to prenounce aluminium correctly but you’s are even spelling it wrong now! ���� Clowns
Hi there.
Can’t decide between these two, would you recommend the specialized fuse 275 2020
Or the
Trek Roscoe 8 2020?
I would be riding rough steep technical trails aswell as trails with lots of jumps. But also quite a bit of steep rough climbing
Thanks
What the hell is wrong with the e-bike market? 5-10 thousand euros for a decent ebike is just ridiculous. The prices should be like 50% lower.
Hope….my dream bike……maybe if I win the lottery one day ��
Do you think buying a 27.5″ bike in 2020 is a good idea? I see that even Sam Hills is riding a 29″. I am not a pro, but for sure what the pros ride is going to influence the market.
So ein geiles Fahrrad, aber der Rot-gelbe Schriftzug macht alles kaputt. Für mich nicht stimmig.
Literally any bike over like $500 is good. You’ll barely even notice a difference if you’re a good rider.
I wish other “reviews” were like this!! 11/10 Review!!! Thank You So Much!!
i want the 2018 specialized enduro comp. 160 to 170 mm of travel
Ha,
No Mondraker Foxy or Super Foxy?? They are waaaay more better bikes than any on this list. This gotta be “top 5 brands that gave us a money to list their enduro bikes”
Scott’s already released a mullet bike long before the one in your video.
Giant trance advance 1 27.5 full carbon inc wheels rrp is $6500 you can pick it up now for just over 4k! Absolute bargain
This looks like they’ve gone way over to trail and away from XC with it. Those tires are huge. It’s really not all around anymore. The weight is a pound heavier than my 2014 EX8. All that is fine but it’s just a different philosophy. No way this bike is faster on a smoother XC style trail. That’s why they also sell the Top Fuel 8 which is more like my 2014 bike.
Would you now include on this list the new LaPierre GLP 2 Team that you tested? Currently on AllMtn 9.0 which has been amazing as a first eMTB but the weight and centre of gravity from battery placement has always made the bike feel less agile. Would appreciate your thoughts Rob.
Hey thats my size, can you post it over to Australia? My 2019 remedy 7 needs a little brother.
want to get into down hill biking and where I live a need a full suspension bike would you recommend this bike?
Loved the weight check, would put the camera on a tripod, or hang it on gorillapod to use both hands on the scale. Them scales can be really funky when you don’t lift really fast and keep your hands steady.
No Canyon Strive? �� got to return my bike in this case… ��
quick question, what should i choose? Merida One Forty 600 2020 or Merida One forty 700 2019? Both are at the same pricing at this moment in my country, Pls. Help me, thanks
Lol yeah I would have thrown that reflector as far away as possible lol
What about Zerode? Best rear suspension anywhere https://youtu.be/f46cBpQa0ds
Trek Slash, Rocky Mountain Slayer, Devinci Spartan, Specialized Enduro, Giant Reign.
Hello everyone,
I have been dreaming about getting into mount biking for so long but as a father of 3 little kids even with a 2 jobs I just haven’t been able to afford one of those high end bikes. If anyone can please help me and maybe donate there old bike or some parts of a bike so that I can eventually put together my first bike or something I would be so so so amazingly super turbo happy. I apologize so much for being honest here but this is my last hope.
Greetings from Calgary
Thank you.

You lot are CRAZY if your paying the amounts asked for these. I ride an Argos Mountain Bike at £180 and £1200 for 1000 watt motor and 48v 17amph conversion kit. WHY would I want to pay around £5000+ for 250W bike? When I get bored of bike I just switch the kit over to another bike.
Great video, James. It gave me a thorough view of the bike as if I was going over it myself.:D
I have ordered the focus jam2 29er and its comming to my mail around 2 weeks
LOL…a reflector. I would keep it on there just for laughs from my riding buddies.
Would sit lovely beside my roscoe 2020 hardtail. Same colour, just stunning looking bike. They look murderous.
It’s possible to change the fork from 140mm to 150mm and not to be a problem?
Hey guys please advise where I can get trek used mountain bike in lower budget
what is “revolutionary” nowadays? is there any? bike geometry has gone already to the edge and companies are just playing around those numbers…

These are way to expensive.I almost gave up the hope of buying an emtb until i got one for $2499+free shipping.Fast forward 3 months i own the trails now.The bike eats through everything-mud,gravel,pavement,slope,etc.Also the throttle really helps.For the guys looking to buy emtbs go for something that has mid drive.Hub motors dont have enough torque to pull you through.
Hey you forgot to include the Trinx E 1000 full suspension mountain bikr
