Blake Samson, Rich Payne and ‪@gmbntech‬ presenter Anna Cipullo are out in ‪@BikeParkWalesOfficial‬ to compete against one another in a challenging all-day Enduro race! To make things even harder, all presenters have been tasked to race using only budget bikes! Shame someone missed the brief for that part... 🤣

Great to see the Gmbn tech presenter knowledge, 28 gears on a triple chainset. Some tech wizardry right there 😂

@Desmond17 Год назад

Hannah screaming "I'm gonna DIIIIEEEEE" at every corner is one of the funniest thing i've ever seen 😂 That, and her deciding to descent with a completely flat rear to add to the sketchyness of it all. Blake, as usual, is the perfect example of trying to outpace the issues on the bike by bombing as fast as he can. And Rich "misunderstanding the rules" sure... If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough to win !

@gmbn Год назад

Haha! It was great fun to make this video! It was so funny seeing how the 3 presenters got on and the creative interpretation of the rules! 😂

@Tefloncoated Год назад

You really need to get out more my friend.

@colincoulthard3021 Год назад

Great video, impressive riding by Anna. It's scary that £1700 can reasonably be considered a "budget" bike these days....

@doubleL_S Год назад

It's not. It's just what these guys say so it makes people put more money into mtb and keep it popular and profitable. You can have the best bike for you for 1500 quid. You don't need the best group set or trick brakes etc. They are work the same and the average won't be able to tell between these things.

@scriptosaurusrex Год назад

Yeah. It's not budget. You can see it on every video (including this one) where they call an expensive bike 'budget', and all the comments are basically 'u wot m8'?

@seanwilliams5382 Год назад

There’s nobody that I know who’d say spending 2k on a bike is budget

GMBN has been primarily an advertising channel for its partners for a long time now, and useful or engaging content has fallen a long way behind in priority. We just see the same vid over and over with new bikes or gear to pimp. 2million subs, and how many of those people are riding a "budget" 2k bike? smh

Exactly. Whats the point in the challenge when one of the presenters doesn't even follow the rule.

Guys you should set a competition of who can make an old school bike ride better for say £700 tech side could carryout the mods and gmbn side need to race it. That's probably within everyone's budget.

Cheap bike challenges are my favorite.

@gmbn Год назад

Ours too!

@themarauder6108 Год назад

Except their bikes aren't cheap 🤨

@mangoshake Год назад

Reasonably equipped bikes you can take to a grassroots enduro event: Hardtails new or used: Marin SQ Vitus Nucleus 27 Ragley Marley Ragley Mmmbop Nukeproof Scout Full suspension, mostly used: Giant Reign Giant Trance Banshee Rune V2 Spesh Stumpjumper, Enduro non-boost Commencal Meta AM V4 There could be more choices, but these models are most abundant and very well equipped for actual enduro racing. These should be able to finish all the stages and liaisons with zero issues. We can make excuses for cheaper bikes, but I'm not gonna trust a $300 rig to be able to survive more than me, and I suck at staying undamaged when mountain biking.

@sankaplays3098 Месяц назад

06 S workds Enduro does that, and relatively big downhills amazingly.

@MightyFireL Год назад

Oh rich, I see what you did there... Accidentally bought a bike from a channel's sponsor... Anyway, I currently ride a Laufey as my main bike, and I still got an old GT Avalanche which was basically the entry level version of the Agressor. Nice to see two of my bikes in the same video!

@SkiSurfBike Год назад

Nice weather, this was fun! But how about really finding out how fast those old ones (I mean the bikes) can go. Wider bar, shorter stem, best tires that fit and of course the dropper post. Maybe even 1x drivetrain conversion. And it looks like that Whyte still needs serious fork overhaul, doesn't it?
