We don't sell out these slots to bike brands. Any bikes in our top 5 videos are ones we pick ourselves as interesting and/or high performing bikes. If something is sponsored, we'll say so, otherwise, any thoughts or content we create is our own.
@@bikeradar Thank you for the clarification. So did the Dogma XC not fulfil your criteria of interesting and/or high performing? Or did it not make the list because it isn't yet available for purchase?
That is a fair consideration for the bike packing crowd. But then if you need to do maintenance on your bike on a solo adventure, it will be more hassle still...
Rocky Mountain make great bikes! As much as we looooove the Element, its more of a downcountry whip these days than a razor sharp XC weapon and the Vertex is no more 😟
only the oiz is good, none of the other makes any sence , epic evo is so much better and lighter than all of them, bmc , santa cruz blur, bh lynx, canyon lux, even sparks so much better bikes than these
You can buy a car, but a pro-level race car, which is what a lot of these bikes are. You're not buying a (competitive) privateer race car for the same as a bike 😉
