Is this the best value Carbon XC bike? 

Oh wow 370 is heavier, but the shell looks smaller. I did not know that!

I have put knock off dt swiss 54t internals in multiple sets of 350s and the work just as well and are significantly cheaper.

Thanks man!!

Oh dang I didn't know that was an option. Great way to make space for a dropper remote.

@@EvanSteinberg3 I have a goofy 3 position level on my fox 32 and had to use a vertical dropper remote because of it. gripshift is definitely the way to go.

Ive never heard of that I'll search it now

SOrry for replying a little late. But the Xtrada and this bike are very different. The Superior is an XC bike, made to pedal faster and not be super great with downhill, it's a zippy bike. The Xtrada is more of a trail bike, so decent at climbing, decent at downhill. Hope that helps!

Smith Payroll Helmet - smithoptics.pxf.io/PayRoll Its pretty good! They just updated their lineup with some pretty cool safety features.

Yeah there's always a honeymoon phase with a bike so I could do a follow up

I will look into that! I'm curious on the price

@EvanSteinberg3 close to $200 bro :/ But its so very nice.

That could work!

You just need an external routed cable and zip ties, or route the cable inside, depending on the model.

I like the name, a bit pretentious but it's better than Birk 😅

Sup

He was trying to grab it. They love the bikes 🤣

I sure will!

@@EvanSteinberg3 nice can't wait

@EvanSteinberg3 when will the full pension be reviewed been debating between that and t9?

Haha maybe I'll adapt your approach to ownership in a few years if my career trends upwards and I can secure a good future for my family. Like the YT I made a video on with the fancy suspension. I'd love to keep that bike and beat on it for a while, but I bought it with the intentions of selling it within a few months (I love it though haha)

Well also in reality biketube being your job i guess it makes a lot of sense to be conscious of resale. And more bikes in and out of the channel is more content!! Also im not rich, just single/no kids and so yeah different worlds haha! I buy all my bikes used aswell. Like your YT ill get a used specced out bike and freshen it up. When i get one i like i ride it for years and run them into the ground and just rebuild bearings and suspension every year haha

Its easier when someone else already put the first scratch on it for you too haha

Maybe. 2 pounds / 1 kg seems like a lot to be different though.

@@JeremyDawesJezweb idk know anything about the smaller size but it could be 27.5 wheels

Haha thats my youngest. I don't think he's been in my videos before. The other 2 boys have over the years

Wheels!

Do you know the weight of the bare frame? I've been inquiring on numerous bike review channels, never got a response. Hyper Carbon 29er version 2.0 sounds pretty amazing. Checks all the boxes. Through axles, front and rear. Tapered head tube. Boost spacing front and rear. Dropper ready. So much easier to upgrade a value bike if it confirms to all modern industry standards.

@425superRocket I do not. I did weigh it when it was bare frame. If i remember correctly it was 2.9lbs but don't quote me

@@425superRocket I had it and an aluminum Kona Kula 26" frame. One on each hand and the carbon frame was easily 1/3rd the weight.

@@425superRocket I built the hyper X with thick slick tires for urban mtb. Not doing any jumps with it

@@travr6 Thanks. That is the weight I was looking for. If you want to build a sub 25 pound carbon XC bike on a budget a sub 4 pound frame as a starting point is the easiest way to get there. Sub 3 pounds makes it even easier. Even on a budget. Very few online bike reviewers will discuss the benefits of high end used parts for sometimes pennies on the dollar. Was that weight for the Version 2.0? The second generation Hyper 29er has front and rear thru axles with boost spacing, tapered head tube, slacker geometry, and is dropper post ready. In my humble opinion those are critical factors. If those above criteria are met, your upgrade options are limitless. I've got an older (2015) Trek Fuel. One model year shy of boost spacing and dropper compatible. With 100mm/142 wheel spacing, wheel upgrade options are severely limited. That spacing limits you to basically gravel bike spec wheels and a small handful of other wheels. My current wheels are 29ers but have an internal width of 19mm. Outdated. 25-35mm internal width is now standard. However, over the last year a few companies are offering modern wheels compatible with the outdated/obsolete 100/142 wheel spacing. Sorry for the excessively long winded reply. Thanks again for that bit of information. Kev Central was allegedly going to upgrade/review video on the Hyper 29er version 2.0 , but never did. He's got the original version and the newer drastically improved version. I've tried contacting him about it, but never got a response.

Bentonville is great but I crashed hard at the castle(wildfire) because of wind 7 staples by elbow

He wanted to touch the spinning wheel 🤣

Hey dude!

Parasite cleanse & tapeworms in the gut

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate you looking out. I'm riding a major high on views for the main channel and wanna keep it rolling into High Low. An XC bike like this will have a small fraction of mountain bikers interested in it

@@EvanSteinberg3 fair enough. I will support both channels but don’t get too addicted to getting a second channel super high. Many RU-vidrs have fallen this fate. Fun not as high production vids are perfect. Keep up the stellar work my man

@@EvanSteinberg3XC haters. Everybody thinks they are going to be doing the redbull rampage, then they ride their enduro bikes around green xc trails. Keep the XC stuff coming!

Yeah it is rather loose. I will fix that. Thanks for looking out
