@@themiddleagemasher8108 I’m 170lbs and don’t have a ton of time on the New Zeb and Vivid so I’m not sure rebound and I started with compression in the middle. As far as psi I ran 60 psi front and 210 rear.

@@jordanchaplinmtb but it looks so 😎

@@ernst_42 just the pulleys while climbing

I will start with the easy stuff. The Altitude is arguably a "better" value the comparable build is $500 less and has better tires, including CushCore touch points and quite a bit lighter. In the Slash's corner you do get the Vivid Select + with adjustable HBO. On the ride side of things I wouldn't say either have better traction on the descents and the back end of the Altitude gets out of the way just as well as the high pivot. As far as mixed wheels the Slash feels more designed around the mixed wheels. Climbing, the Slash is the more efficient climber but both have a great body position and the Altitude is quieter. Finally the head angle adjustment and reach adjustment is easier to use on the Altitude but the flip chip for the mullet setup is very hard to access. I don't think either bike is clear winner, but they are both great. They have a few other quirks but I think this response is already too long so if you have any specific questions feel free to reach out on Instagram.

@@brianstoody4565 are you referring to the adjuster? It can be installed either direction, just go with whatever allows for easier adjustment.

@@K1ngJame5-mtb yeah, just the pulleys on the climb. It was nice and quiet on the descents.

@@K1ngJame5-mtb lots of roots and surprisingly slimy!

@@anaboveaveragedog I wouldn’t have it any other way! 🤘

@@themiddleagemasher8108 I think you’ll be stoked!

@@NICADV I almost orders a gen 5 but changed my mind last minute

@@themiddleagemasher8108 you made the right choice!

@@djjmann I was surprised how similar they are. I expected the Slash to be more of a pig and more sluggish and it wasn’t. I would say the Nomad still has an edge for maneuverability and pop, but only marginally. I’m still happy with my purchase largely because of the simplicity without all the extra pulleys.

I’m looking for one and a bunch of shops are willing to unofficially discount the price to make the sale

@@KiwiInGermanyMTB yeah, bike prices went insane during the pandemic, mostly blaming shipping and demand, it will be interesting to see where things finally land

I think I agree on all accounts. Specifically on the suspension it’s one of the most active platforms out there, and definitely has a DH feel.

I rode the Chainsaw set up "enduro" with 170mm front and rear and mixed wheels which is slightly different than they sell it "Enduro". Overall, I think the Nomad is a great park bike. The Devinci has a slight edge on the straight line and chunky stuff, other than that it also has a bit more flexibility as far as increasing the rear wheel travel. Both bikes love hitting jumps and the mixed wheel setup is very composed on steep rocks and loamers. The Nomad is a bit more well round outside the park as well.

It certainly is, most of the video is from a trail called "snake".

I went large and I'm 5' 11" or 180cm

Thanks! Agreed, I'm looking put a 36 or lyrik on the front to really unlock its potential.

I have not yet. My favorite alternatives (in the 120-130 range) are probably the Evil Following for full 29er and the Santa Cruz Nomad for mixed wheel. As far as "Fit out of the box" it's hard to beat those current sale prices on the Commencal's especially if you're looking for an alloy bike.

Agreed, I love the way the top tube flows directly into the seatstay!

Agreed, those Zee cranks were also only like $100 with a chainring and bb 🤯. I’m digging the Ohlins fork!

I’d think so, but I’m hoping to check one out soon.

You’re welcome, glad you like the brakes!

I love it! It's not really something for pedaling, but it's great if you accidentally land on it. Deity labels it DJ/ Slopestyle.

Thanks!

You and your relentless comments on mullet bikes. I’m on my third mullet spandex boy

🤷🏻‍♂️

Haha, yes it is!

Probably not, but it does depend on the brand. I ride a large in the vast majority of the brands, but some really long bikes I prefer a medium or M/L like Trek offers. My gut tells me you’d get along better with the medium. It will add stability and maybe a touch more playful as you have more room between saddle and bar. The small loses stand over quickly with the 29” wheel and tall front end.

Good question!

@@NICADV будь аккуратнее друг

@@mimik963 Thanks

He was the best boy!

Yeah, it’s nice not to be too scared 😅

I still get the question regularly and since it’s one of the big changes figured it was worth mentioning, but I didn’t mention it again in the review 🤷🏻‍♂️

Haha, yeah ebike whine. I was doing a review on the Evil Epocalypse in the video

It is a Devinci Chainsaw but not new, I’ll have a video Friday with details

It would lose some of the maneuverability. I think the medium would probably be a better fit, especially with the shorter rear end. You may also have to shorten the dropper. I have a 210 OneUp dropper and it is fully slammed, bottomed out on the inside of the seattube. I have a 74cm saddle height center bb to top of saddle.
