I wish you had tested the CFR/CFRFMD versions of the sender. the sender 6 doesn't really fit into the competition as it really is a budget bike. also the commencal supreme and furious would have been great aditions. but none the less, great review. i am really interested in all the new DH bikes on the market for 22, i am excited for your evaluations on those.
I’ve had the most fun ever this season on that YT Comp. I’m more than pleased with my decision and have 0 regrets. The bike is an absolute performer as stated in the Vital review. I’m 6’ and ride an XL
Absolutely loved watching summer of downhill guys! Great to see such an in depth review of these downhill bikes, Your reviews really helped my decision on my new DH bike, so thank you.
I think it's key to highlight the wheel difference when comparing prices. The Session is 29" (adjustable to 27.5") vs. the Sender is 27.5", and 29" tend to be more expensive. Great video and comparison.
thanks! we tested the canyon sender CFR last year and loved it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9-2oDBTBeFA.html the wheel size itself doesn't impact price. the new sender CFR is carbon and canyon doesn't make an alloy version. if they did it would be cheaper. the CFR starts at $4,799, which is a great value. as mentioned, the trek and pivot are likely more expensive because they are not direct-to-consumer brands like canyon or YT. some riders may not need a dealer and direct-to-consumer works well for them, but others may find value and peace of mind going through a dealer when it comes to dealing with parts, repairs or warranty.
If you haven't already figured out the headset issue on the Canyon Sender 6, let me enlighten you. My brother purchased the bike earlier this year and for the first few rides experienced a lose and creaky headset. We retightened the headset as well as greased. The problem became acutely evident several rides later at the bike park as one of the PLASTIC headset spacers exploded. Take all the plastic headset spacers out and replace with aluminum or carbon and the stock headset is fine. I also double checked the Across headset on my Canyon 360 and sure enough they were plastic as well.
a few years ago, it seemed to be an issue, but now, reputable shops are standing out with great customer service and will service any bike. if a shop won't service a direct bike, find a new shop.
Awesome review!! I went to Outerbike Crested Butte a few weeks ago and demo'ed a Tues Core 4 and fell in love with it enough to buy one haha! I'm 5'8 and demo'ed a size large frame. All my other bikes are size medium so I ordered a medium. After watching your review of the Comp, Im hoping I dont get it and wish I had gotten a size large.
nonsense ever shop has done maintenance on my sender so far and if you compare fair = a sender with the same price it stands up to the other bikes in the test. The sender is amazing value for the money.
@@vitalmtb I can't even buy one for 2022 bike season. Website pre-order into July. I'm really regretting selling my 2020 now :( for a small upgrade in geometry of the new.
Wait, they're still using zee brakes on bikes? I couldn't get a replacement lever assembly (stripped out the master cylinder)...had to upgrade to saint levers. I thought they were end-of-life?
Why have DH bikes not got similar or longer reach lengths than enduro / trail bikes. They generally seem to have a 20mm shorter reach than enduro bikes...
I hate how most companies only offer a 29” or maybe a 29 27.5 mullet bike. 29” aren’t great at super technical stuff in BC. Offer me a modern 26er and it’ll be the first thing I buy
Hi! I'm thinking your opinions about propain rage, at 4k price, so how well that would compete against canyon sender 6 or yt tues base. I haven't seen many reviews of the rage, like what kind of bike it is and where it is at home.
10 months into the future, almost all winning bikes are aluminum frames, so if ever you want to buy a dh bike go for the aluminum frames never go carbon. aluminum frames are worry-free in every rides and every crashes.
I hate to be negative, but this video was dense. It was like eating an overcooked steak. Yeah the nutrition was there, but it was hard to get through, and didn't taste quite as good.
Climbs fantastic? I have a capra 2018 29 160mm and it climbs bad, really bad! But its a pleasure to go down the trails, it feels so planted and gives you Lots of confidence, perfect bike for park and some local trails here and there.
we tested the sender cfr here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9-2oDBTBeFA.html - for this test, we wanted to see how the cheapest model performed compared to the more expensive one a few years ago, too.
So many Brands coming black alloy frames...few years ago they were selling carbon and carbon again...even Bruni or Aaron gwin are developping alloy frames from si many reasons like ride tolérance. So for most common and regular riders they are toi stiff. Without speaking the Cost of production in taiwainese Factory.
here are some more! canyon sender CFR - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9-2oDBTBeFA.html demo 29 vs demo mullet - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I0JDo2TvQ78.html 2019 DH bike test sessions - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oFy2frdkeCw.html
The only difference between bike companies are the frames. All the components on all the bikes are the same. It's just the frame that makes a bike company.
Meh. That's X-Fusion for ya. Shame because the bike is great but Scott's spec price points are stifling. Gonna be hard to afford that chair lift season pass after that lol
I need great recommendations from you guys, please help me for my Scott Gambler 930 update! I wanna do some theme with gold and black, My idea is; Nobl wheel set wit industry nine hydra hub 10 speed sram cassette and groupset Öhlins rear suspension TRP or Magura break system So, did I doing wrong with that cost of parts or you can recommend another?
the first thing we'd change on the gambler (if the shock is still working for you) would be changing to a 7-speed GX DH drivetrain. the stock derailleur w/o a clutch is rough for downhill use.
@@vitalmtb So, you mean 10 speed not good choice ? Actually I’m not using 8th, 7th and I thought if I can have more big gear then I will be more relax on climbing!? 'Cause sometimes I hang out in the hills! However thanks for your attention and advice 🤙🏻
DUDE are you kidding me? you buy a new-ish scott, and it is immediatelly obsolete, you can't buy anything for it???? this is stupid...i was able to buy stuff for my 8 years old Ghost(although not easily). This is outrageous that you buy a bike this expensive, and they throw out support so soon...
