I’m currently riding a Nukeproof scout 27.5. I bought the frame earlier this year and have loved it ever since. I came from a Scott Spark.

@hartthur 8 месяцев назад

Scott Sparks are pretty quick mtbs ! How does the Scout compare in terms of reactivity and uphill/downhill speed ?

@JasonFerguson17t 8 месяцев назад

@@hartthur Uphill is great since it’s a hardtail, I get the instant power to the back wheel. Downhill is definitely slower without rear suspension, but what I lost in downhill speed I gained in climbing. Also, the scout isn’t as twitchy as the Spark, which has made me a much smoother rider. I also run 2.6” wide tires Vittoria Mezcal rear and Barzzo front.

@hartthur 8 месяцев назад

@@JasonFerguson17t thanks for the report mate, I'm still on the market for a replacement for my Canyon Neuron. I'm still hesitating if I break the bank for a high-end hardtail such as the mid-range Chameleon or the top-of-the-range Scout, or if I keep it with its flaws (uphill speed, high speed stability, comfort) and qualities (mid-speed confidence and quality components). I'll see if I find one for sale near me, if it's yellow then I'm already sold

@KenGilbert-yn4qz 9 месяцев назад

Dartmoor Hornet - on my second, beast of a machine that can take up to 180 mm fork and can do everything from pump track with the kids to fun DH (put a rim protectory in the rear). Super well priced as well.

@wojciechopyrcha9116 8 месяцев назад

Yes especially newest Hornet and Primal are suprisingly good. DARTMOOR!

@thetoyota86perspective54 7 месяцев назад

Big up for the Commencal Meta HT - bought mine as a frame and built it up which means I have the only kind in the world (haven't seen one online like mine yet). Great as an allrounder and really comes alive at the bike parks

HELLOOOOO!!!! The Canyon Stoic 4 is a beast!!!! Up and downhill 🎉🎉🎉

@David-ys4xb 9 месяцев назад

I just built myself a '23 Kona Honzo ST on a MX wheelset. Geo makes it feel like a big DJ just with a cassette, but it has rear dropouts so when I get too old to ride HT on trails I can convert it into a wicked hipster steelie fixed gear street cruiser and wear a bunch of scarves in the middle of summer while riding it. I also have an Ibis DV9 frameset sitting in the box but gotta replenish my funds for that build 😅

Custom steel bike frame from Marino for $600. You specify the geometry and build it how you want. The DREAM

@FOTB407 9 месяцев назад

Not to mention they will paint custom graphics and/or do a custom engraving for an extra $30. I've got a 725 steel hardtail otw and I spend almost all of my waking moments obsessing about how to spec it

@YouFearMe 9 месяцев назад

@@FOTB407 Nice! Just got my 853 hardtail 2 months ago and have 490 miles on it. I got the translucent candy red paint, pure beauty. People are stopping and staring. Built it up for fast downhills and bike parks, but it also climbs pretty well.

@juliagriffiths 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree. I bought a Canyon Stoic 3 this year and am having an absolute blast on this bike.

@argynews 9 месяцев назад

@DatPenguin97 9 месяцев назад

Pretty excited to pick up a cheap used 2021 Stoic 2 this week and start upgrading it (it's my second MTB since actually starting)!

@Hipp0campus_1 7 месяцев назад

I was torn between Stoic 3 and Grand Canyon 7. I ended up picking the Grand Canyon because I ride it quite a bit around city for commuting and also got a good price on sale for just 1.000€. I think either of those is a great budget choice!

Cannondale's, somewhat new, Scalpel HT is a really fun bike considering it's an out and out XC race hardtail. It's slacker than most XC hardtails making it quite enjoyable to ride at high speeds, even on slightly rough terrain. I've certainly fell in love with mine and it will be my winter riding weapon this year!

Quick question for some reason with my front fork xcm sa suntour they don't compress with my weight and only do with heavy impact even then they don't soak up much of it what would you recommend for them as they are coil?

@David-ys4xb 9 месяцев назад

How much do you weigh? That's a coil spring fork and it sounds like your spring is too stiff for your weight, just have to look up springs for your fork and find a softer one. I'd check to see what part number is on the spring in your fork before though so you can know for sure that's what it is.

@Snailistic 9 месяцев назад

@@David-ys4xb Thanks for the help I will look into that I ride a specialized rockhopper comp and I weigh about 45-50kg

@dylan-5287 9 месяцев назад

Take the fork apart and clean it all up and put on new grease. Unfortunately those coil suntour forks just suck. If you can get a rockshox recon or suntour epixon it'll be so much better. Me and my buddy upgraded to those two forks from our coil suntour forks.

@David-ys4xb 9 месяцев назад
