So stoked on the Fairdale! Been waiting for a bike like that. But so weird with the Stanton Sedona. Around one year ago Fairdale posted about the Elevator on insta and now, all of a sudden Stantonparty also have this "unique" bike. Pretty crazy that they are in the same video.
Yes! Awesome to have so many rad new hardtails there. It’s interesting how similar the Elevator and Sedona are, without, to my knowledge having any collaboration or communication during their design
@@99spokes Around a year ago when Fairdales posted about the Elevator on their instagram I remember Steve from HardtailParty commented that he and Fairdale have chatted about the Elevator and hopefully it will end up on his channel. I remember this because I was sooo stoked and wanted more information, and what place else to get good information then HardtailParty. But now when I checked the comment is gone. It would be nice to know more about this, what happened? The Fairdale Elevator feels like a special bike that deserves to be a massive hit. What they have said, that it will be sold as a complete and maybe a frame only option later on. The Sedona is sold as a frame.
Wow, polygon looks to be really branching out, which is great! I wish I had a good reason to get a DH bike. I don't really go to parks because they are all at least 3+ hours away. I want one so bad, haha. I will probably look into that SL though, that siskiu looks sick!!
TREK fired 10% of it's workers in the US and went back to the traditional pivot because they weren't selling bikes. The truth is that none of the bikes produced since 2016 were needed by anybody to enjoy any type of riding imaginable. Electronic shifting, electronic droppers and electronic shocks aren't necessary ..... same with E bikes if you're under age 70! I for one am tired of bike companies telling me what I want or need.... When the dust settles from this, I hope they remember that they did this to themselves.
They did. Honestly I think it’s a good call on a value oriented bike like this, but it would be interesting to see how the design works on an alloy frame!
Polygon not showing off the new carbon XC full sus yet? Kinda wanted to know what they were gonna call it, guess it's still a long way from release then.
Pff. Not quite ready for the Slash Gen 6? Sounds like bullshit to me, Trek. You don't want to lose your customers to somebody else. Don't tell me what I'm ready for. The extra idler wheel is not a selling feature to me. And I'm not alone.
