Hi, what length stem did you run with this build? Awesome review thank you.

Thanks @Jon Mottern for this review. I had a very hard time deciding on the SX and thanks to this review I pulled the trigger. This is exactly 100% the bike I wanted. I have built it from frame with Kitsuma AIR and thanks to more overall damping this bike is a rocketship, it is very supportive and playful. I was running full 29er enduro before and this is much more agile on slower speeds and still super stable at high speeds. And is climbs great, but 27.5 wheel is a limiting factor here, so nothing to complain, if you want a mullet you need to take this into account.

Im 510 with a long torso. Med goes from 5-8 to 5-11. But large is 510 to 6-3. I generally like a larger feeling bike but my old trail bike is alot smaller then this bike. Shoud i run the med or large from your opinion from riding this bike

How many bikes do u have?!

Some of the jankiest jank I’ve ever seen in my janky life!

idk if that just me thinking this way. So the lock only able to secure the frame but they could still taking those wheels easily I assume?

Welcome Ebro.

Love the reviews, any chance of review a Canfield tilt in the future?

CommenÇal

Commencal is brand that performs so high and wins so many gravity oriented races that i don't think they care about advertising or getting bikes to the testers for reviews.

you can find fault with Magic Mary and Big Betty combo?? wow. these are probably the top dh racing tires in the world.

Nice review, Jon. I will be coming back to your channel. Your format is great.

Sweet review. Recognized a few of those trails. Stoked to ride mine there!

Do you know where I can demo this bike on the Front Range?

Nice sick bike, I’m not sure but did you say what size your testing and your height? If not I’m curious.

Have you tried the YT Decoy? I’m deciding between the two bikes at the moment, your review is super helpful

I want the YT Decoy but the YT battery is a bit of a no starter - am I right to think that - it`s leading me to this bike; would love the SX but can`t afford it - this one is on sale! Kind of want a EP801 as well though. Somebody - set me straight!

I wouldn't buy a rack without tool-less anti-rattle. Esp at that price, no excuse anymore not to have that.

Subscribed. I live up north CO now but so many miles in the Golden Morrison area when I lived in the area.

Similar on my ohlins meta ht size small mullet. It is sluggish at times. The bike opens up with speed. It’s playful but needs a little extra and is very fun now that I understand the bike.

Owesome ride. Respect. I am torn between Jibb and Madonna now. Have to go with XXL and I am scared of the weight. Having spire and meta TR now and looking for the third bike LOL. Love the raaw bikes.

No creak?

I'll give you my review it's the best 7 grand you're ever going to spend

It could be a 2022 I have one

Mine loosened up on me about a week or two after I got it this spring. Applied a little blue loctite and re-torqued and it’s been solid since that time through several enduro races and bike park days! Definitely keeping an eye on it though 😆

How much did u get ig for

Have you tried the altitude in a mullet setup? I am between this and the nomad, I would be riding mostly northern front ranges trails like maryland mountain, lefthand canyon, horsetooth, etc. Any thoughts?

I love this bike but the top linkage looks very wide and flimsy

how long are you and how do you fit the xl in climbs and desent?

What color combo is that? It looks great.

No more nomad ?

Have you heard any creaking noises related to the frame bearings? (many people complain about this problem)

Good vid. What’s your favorite bike for places like Floyd & Maryland?

Yo Great Video I got the same bike recently and Ive been loving it ever since, i came from a Trek Slash 9.8. I feel like the Orbea jumps better, and is more agile And that the Trek is a litle more forgiving. But overall i like the Orbea more. Btw pro tip youtuber to youtuber, have good music or no music at all. Im guessing you also think the backrouns music ia kins of annoying 😅 Cheers

The Rallon is like the 2023 Altitude as far as handling and being more nimble. The 2024 Altitude is flat out Enduro race rig. Great riding. You were really ripping in the turns.

How would you compare the Jibb v2 to Meta V5?

No reason why it shouldn't perform on slow technical steep stuff. You probably just need some time to get dialed in and get used to the bike.

My buddy has the DB kistuma air on this exact rallon and I have the dvo topaz (3) in 185x55 on my giant trance X29 (160 dvo fork & currently mullet) feels as capable as the rallon, we switch bike often I can confirm rear travel numbers from manufacturer are not the most reliable thing to shop a bike with 😅 gotta try them 😊

Great video, Liked and subbed! Two quick questions: can you open your GX’s barn door with the Guiderail on (but without bikes)? Also, have you thought about upgrading to the 1up Equip-D, which is also in the $800 range?

Try it with a coil shock. The leverage rate is highly progressive and ramps up a bit late in the travel which magnifies the relatively lower mid-stroke support of an air spring.

Have ordered the m ltd wild will arrive early October can’t wait, meanwhile binge watching Orbea wild reviews. Great little review cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.

As I get older I am climbing slower and most of the front range trails have really tough climbs. I demoes an eMTB the other day and it was so much fun. They are perfect for around here for sure. No more suffering and you still get a workout.

I have the same exact bike, feel like the only thing that holds it back is the grip dampener. I have found that the shock bolts on the drive side have come loose a few times, have you had the same issue?

Do you realize how much I'm waiting for the Jibb V2 review???

"All shimano brakes feel the same" - Truer words have never been spoken!

Do you prefer e-bikes to non electric?

Love the intro

God bless you young man. That's one of the toughest trails in Colorado. I believe. I had a hard time walking it. Try and keep the rubber down. God bless

Hey jon, great review as always, I was just wondering if you're planning to review the commencal clash ?

sick trail, are you able to share its name
