Built mine up from a Frame with XT/SLX components, XT wheels, AssegaiAggressor DD tires, Domain Fork, 180mm Dropper, Titanium saddle. With all my tools, spare tube, water bottle I tip the scale at 36lbs all in.
I don't understand the sub-par kit on such a killer frame. No wonder it's almost 34lbs. I built mine up with middle of the road parts and it weighs 31.8lbs. Completely changes the experience. Such an amazing bike. I prefer this over the Chromag Stylus I had before it.
I think they really just wanted to stick to a friendly price point while speccing a really nice fork on a bonkers sweet frame. Biggest stinkers are the rims and brakes. Though, I find the brakes to be adequate. Rims are too much. I'll be building a nicer wheelset this summer and probably switching to a Microshift group.
i have this bike now for 2 years. had the same feeling the first 2 weeks. was feeling really weard and long. But damn when u get a good feeling on the downhills? such a killer bike. even learned flips on it and rode freeride tracks in bikepark Chatel in france alps with the bike! absolute killer!
I've got about 4 rides in on mine, and I'm constantly impressed. If you like crushing it on the downhill, this is a great bike for it. That said, I did clear some stuff on climbs today that I normally wouldn't.
Good video! I have a Rocky Mountain Growler and have really beaten up the frame. I don’t think it has much life left lol! Was thinking about picking up one of these frames as a replacement. I’m 5’10” which calls for a grande, but the specs make it look way to big for me?
I also live in Texas and I’m buying a hardtail I love going down enduro trails but don’t get to very often in Texas I found a Elroy do you think it would be ok to ride here in Texas
My question is Is that real the El Roy is the biggest and longest bike in the market ? And my wight is 99 kg is okay with this bike? Because I have tried other bikes after while the frame was not okay . I hope i get answers soon Thank you
Hello! I don't know if it's biggest/longest in market. I just said it's the biggest one I've been on. Steel frames are quite a bit tougher, so this bike should be able to accommodate your weight!
That's a tough choice! Also a great video idea. I feel like the outcome would be: Full suspension faster, hardtail more fun! Hopefully I can get my hands on another hardtail like the El Roy and put them head to head!
