Thanks ;) Tribe Called Quest is one of my favorites. Being able to make and edit these videos myself let's my music slip in from time to time.

I'm still riding a light full suspension xc bike ( canyon Mr 10 lux) . +- 10.8 kg .. have been looking at other bikes but nothing... on paper .... beats it.

@ContenderBicycles 7 месяцев назад

Matching things on paper can be hard for sure. Only true way in my book is to ride one. Thats how I fell in love with my current MTB, when on paper I went in to the first ride on it being pretty skeptical. 10.8kg is pretty light!

@@ContenderBicycles it is light and very nervous ... 26" wheels . Full SRAM XO . Great for racing I guess , but on the long run. As you say... Rolling comfort and stability are hard to express in kilograms.

@ContenderBicycles 7 месяцев назад

@@vplph For sure! A great example of that is when I switched my current XC bike from its racier 100mm travel and 2.2 tire platform to a 120mm shock and fork, and 2.4 tires, and it got heavier by almost 450g, but I started dropping time on up and downhill segments.

I swear - it's 1994 all over again for MTB's.

@ContenderBicycles 7 месяцев назад

Haha! With the rise of adventure gravel bikes, soft-tails, and such it can definitely feels that way. It's like 1994 with more carbon and better suspension.

@roddas26 7 месяцев назад

It's almost exactly the same a treks supercalibre. And no they are clearly not hardtails

@ContenderBicycles 7 месяцев назад

No they are not hard tails, but they aren't a true full suspension either. This category would be a so-called "soft-tail" of sorts. But this and the Supercaliber are quite different, with very different geometry, weight, and even suspension layout. (The Supercaliber doesn't have a true linkage, this bike does). Similar ideology, but different in practice.

@roddas26 7 месяцев назад

@@ContenderBicycles yeah yeah. Still to most people the same. Internal top tube rear suspension. Very different, but the same.

@@roddas26 They for sure look similar!
