Overbiking VS Underbiking - Can The Spur Go Full Enduro?
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
In this video I take the Transition Spur and put it up against the Transition Spire on the same trail. Each bike gets one lap at race pace to see how they compare on a trail that the Spire is pretty optimal for and the Spur in theory should be pretty under powered on. The results may surprise you...

My New Favorite Slab Trail In Squamish! -Marc My Word
Love that place!
Awesome little gem.
What air pressure do you run in the forks and shock
I’m running 170 psi in the fork and 195 psi in the shock. I weigh around 160 lb with kit.
Kill me now. lol
The Ohlins .2, Ext E-storia and Push Eleven6 S can all run on the levo and kenevo bro.
got my kenevo about a month ago and it has been the best bike I ever owned it is really a bike that can do nearly everything
Congrats! Bike is so sick.
@@LoamerMTB Thanks!
Such a sick bike! Did you compare it to others before purchasing? I've been debating between this and a YT Tues
I didn’t do much comparison. Originally I was going to go with the Canyon Sender but it sold out. I think it also had SRAM brakes which I hate. This came with TRPs and Fox which is rad. Also have buddies riding the V4s and one on a V5 and they all love them.
this is in the pnw?
Yep some classic PNW vibes on this one.
how heavy are u? im putting on my old dhx2 on my v5 and im not sure what weight i need
I’m about 160 with gear and I am on a 500 lb coil. I was told by Commencal and my local shop I should be on a 450 or 475 coil. 500 feels really good tho.
@4:30 I felt the lift of the jump and the compression of the suspension! It feels great! 😂 Congrats on the new bike 🚲
Thank you! Stoked!
Wow. Video just does not do that justice. That first gap is so massive in real life
It’s a fun one!
Love the stoke! Rad build! You trying to race this on the DH in Copper harbor?
Possibly… how do you think it would work on Overflow?
@@LoamerMTB By the way it was picking up speed, I bet It would rip! Maybe not the best through the flatter sections though.
@@Dialed1 It’d be so mint for the fast line on the right side of man pants.
You can feel the stoke through the screen!!
@@DandyHippo Oh man so pumped on this bike!
Good job stimulating the bike industry! Someone has to do it 🤣
Someone’s gotta stimulate the economy 🫡
Such a sick color!
Love the look of this bike!
Congratulations Paul!
Thanks bud. New bike day is always a good day.
Is that bike number 4 in the stable?? 👀😉
I think the math maths. 😂
Fantix XXF is 200mm travel
Oh wait I know this trail! Did you actually pedal a high pivot DH bike up that road?
It was a nice scenic hike. 😂
BIG BOY BIKE! Dirt looks fantastic!
BIG BOY BIKE 🚛 😂 Yeah dirt was mint.
First!, ive seen that bike and it looks really cool
Very cool indeed!
Good old chucka nut need to pin is again there my knee rattle my game
Nice!!
Dude loved this! Been considering the Spur for a while now to go alongside my sentinel and turbo levo sl ebike. I think it’s makes sense after watching this 😊
Thanks! It’s such a fun bike. Definitely compliments the bigger bikes well.
Lmao I thought this was cali vs. Mexico 😂
I’d love to ride Mexico at some point for sure! Looks like they have some pretty awesome riding.
Sweet trip! Planning to do it next year. You mention med almost 3 days of flying? Is one week enough for this trip? I plan to do 3-4 days of riding.. what are your tips in going there? Many thanks!
I’d say I’d want 12 or 13 days off work for the trip. That might give you 5 days of riding and 7 days on the island. I flew from Vancouver BC and had a 16 hour layover in London both ways. Stay in old town if you can. Way more fun down there.
Nice! Thanks man!
I’m toying with the new one of these against a levo expert carbon can’t decide on what to get
If you ride gnarly DH trails go Kenevo. If you want something more well rounded for a lot of variety go Levo. I love my Kenevo and would not go Levo for the PNW and BC gnar but they are both great bikes.
@@LoamerMTB see I’m in England so trails aren’t as gnarly unless your at a bike park but really I’m only interested in the downs not really into techy climbs or anything like that so I do want a bike that’s great for going down but can do a little bit of climbing too and capable of a big single track ride maybe once every couple of months
Shredding!
Anyone been to Squamish? It sucks, don't go
Yeah better keep Squamish on the DL. No one knows about it yet 😉😂
Yeah spent weeks there this summer, terrible! 🥲
It's crazy how much bigger 5:50 is in person compared to video. Looks totally doable when you're doing it
It’s quite intimidating. Especially since they piled boulders in the entry 🧐
Hi, thanks for your video, please help me, in my city there is a special price for the Kenevo 2022, is it good for cross country?
No it’s a terrible bike for cross country but if it’s cheap enough it’s still fun to turbo around on flat trails.
Great video but you should have added in the climb times! Spur wins! Haha Deciding btwn a Smuggler and Spur right now. What a good problem to have.
Yes with the climb times the Spur destroyed the Spire! The more I ride the Spur that faster I’m getting on the DH too. This bike rips. I’d prob go smuggler for a one bike quiver but the good news is whatever choice you make will be rad!
Nice weekend of riding!
Nice variety for sure!
A proper showdown between two great places to ride, eh!
Gotta get you up to BC!
Man, I really need to make it to BC, and get more rides in in bham
Some solid spots but it’s hard to leave North Slope. That riding is so good too.
Galby!! Love it 🙌🏼🔥 Galbraith is the land of MTB milk and honey 😎
Galbraith is a pretty solid spot for sure 🤘
Absolutely shredding that Spur! Testing the limits of what’s possible on that bike.
It’s so crazy. That geo is dialed in.
@@LoamerMTB have you been able to compare it to the evil following? Only had time to demo the following during the tune up last month, boy have I been missing out on the short travel fun
I have not! I’ve def wanted to try a following tho. That was the first bike that made 29ers cool.
Good lord these trails look like works of art
Best part is it’s free to ride at Galbraith, it’s the land of milk and MTB honey 😎
Trail builders get after it around here for sure.
It's not that hard is why it's blue it's all doable stuff
I think Oriental has earned a black rating. It’s gnarlier than Evo now.
This will protect your motor/battery, cheap too! protect-emtb.com/product/bash-guard-specialized-gen2-levo-kenevo-brushed-alloy-with-holes/
Nice! Thanks for the rec.
Answer- Ride the blacks there and that's why. hahah When I rode there I was shocked as to how good they actually were and how many there were. Most trail networks would have maybe 10/20 good trails.. Def seems like it adds to the trail ratings.
So funny thing is the first trail is a black. The last trail is way gnarlier and is a blue 🤷♂️ But yes the PNW/BC rating scale is tilted a few notches up in general 😂 Gotta be careful out here.
rly good fam!
That jumpline trail looks like SO MUCH FUN!! 🤘😆🤘Did you do your own brake swap? Other than the two clips on the frame behind the shock was everything internal easy to route? Thinking of doing the brake swap my Kenevo.🤙
I broke down and paid the shop to do it. I tried to drop the motor but it started to get too involved so I said screw it and let the shop deal with it. This bike sucks to wrench on 😂 Yeah some sick jump lines around here! Blessed with some talented and dedicated builders for sure. 🤘
That was dope 💪🏾 great riding 🤙🏾💯
Thanks bro!
so are you riding the spur more then the spire?
I ride the Spire more because some of the zones I ride are just too steep and gnarly for the Spur to feel safe. I am riding it more and more at Galbraith tho! It handles all the stuff up there great!
i got my spur a few days ago. i got the 2023 model so no udh but not a deal breaker for me.
Nice! Congrats on the new bike. How do you like it?
Have not been able to ride it we got a tornado and hurricane so trails still drying out
Hey stop boosting blue lines making us all look bad thanks
I second this... settle it down there Loamer, this isn't Rampage.
I’ll try to dial it back a bit 🫡😂. Also there’s a discord with some of the other guys who do YT locally. You should join it. I’ll see if Singletrack Sasquatch can drop you his email so he can send you a link.
Ok so apparently YT doesn’t like emails being posted in comments so if you want to join message Singletrack Sasquatch on Instagram and he can get you added. 🤘
I purchased a spire Alloy and I am having some issues regarding switching to a rear Coil Shock. How much do weigh? What pound spring are you using?
@@user-oi5ik2ev9l I weigh 160 lbs with riding gear. I am running a 400 lb spring on a rockshox coil shock with 2 out 5 clicks of the HBO (last 20% of travel becomes more progressive to prevent bottom outs). Compression is fully open and rebound is pretty much almost fully open. Just a few clicks to slow it down a touch. This puts me at about 30% sag and I’ve never felt a bottom out. Feels amazing. I ran air for a few rides recently at prefer coil by a lot.
@@LoamerMTB thanks! I am 185 pounds and I’m riding a DVO Jade X coil shock with a 425-500 progressive spring. 170psi on the bladder and rebound set half way (14 of 28 clicks). Feels great on descents, but Kind of feels like it might bottom out on moderate jumps… I tried the next spring up (475-575) but apparently it is too much for my weight. I am a bit lost at the moment.
@@user-oi5ik2ev9l If you have a few bucks to blow you could give the next spring a try. Might be a bit less sag but if it feels good and prevents bottom outs it might work. Is there a compression setting on your shock? Could try firming that up a bit as well.
@@user-oi5ik2ev9l I miss read that. If you’re already a on the spring above your weight and still bottoming out I have no ideas. You could try a rockshox with the progressive coil and HBO but that’s an expensive upgrade. Honestly I might just run the air shock the bike came with. It’s pretty badass and you’ll be able to dial it in perfect. I just personally prefer coil but if I was bottoming out I’d just run the Fox float X2. It’s a fun setup. Can boost on that thing.
@@LoamerMTB there is a 3 position lever (open, mid, closed) and an air bladder. I got the next spring (475-575) but it feels really awkward… with little preload it is hard to match both suspensions for a bunny hop for example.
You climb for an hour!?!?!?!?!?
Sometimes 2-4 hours 😂. That’s the price you pay for dropping 2k+ feet in a single lap.
now wait untill you try Mavens.
Only if I’m forced to with a complete build at some point 😂
@@LoamerMTB Haha, the Mavens are seriously good. I've never used brakes before that i've had to order smaller rotors after using big ones. its just mental They are like saints on steroids
Nice! I would probably like them then.
Man that look awesome.
Perfect conditions on some fun trails!
