I can attest to the fact that a 29x2.3/2.4 will handle so much better for us shorter riders than a 2.6 (I changed my emtb and it made such a huge difference!!). It's up to you guys if you want to open the wrapped package. Since it's Dec, thought I'd gift wrap the 🎁. I always watch your videos while I'm at home working and making maps. I've just bought pre-made fenders from Ground Keeper but knew you can create custom products so the idea formed!! Glad you guys liked it!
Brandinyou hit it out of the park girl!! What an awesome surprise, thank you so much. Now I love fatty tires both front and rear but do agree with ya. Golly that fender is AMAZING!!
8:26 that's loose cones, you need to adjust the bearing preload using cone wrenches. This means hub was not assembled properly. But even if it was it can come loose eventually.
I would loosen them up more, add some grease and then adjust the preload properly on this bike. Heck, that should be standard on all big box store bikes.
usually on these walmart bikes they come too tight and your bearings are grinding around the hubs! Then you can end up with metal shavings and grit in the bearing races. Too tight or too loose, either way can cause damage. There usually isn't much grease in the hub either. First thing I'd check on these bikes if I care about the wheels. But i know the wolftick fellas ride them like they come, and will replace the wheel anyways!
I think that it's SOP for headset and crank bearings to be suspect in big box bikes, not to mention the wheel bearings. It all depends on who assembled the bike and how busy they where. Then there is the sobriety factor.
I'm 63. I bought the Hyper explorer 29. Adjusted and tightened up everything.myself and put a 4 in riser on handlebars. It's excellent for city riding and off road.
Man thays great, def needs some new bars and tires! But Ll in all this is the first bike in a long time from Walmart I am super excited about shredding on!

I just bought this bike - I’m 6’2” tall, and will probably try a seat post upgrade. First ride out, it was super smooth and a lot lighter than the Ken Genesis I had. (I blew out two Kent 29s this summer but since it’s under the 90 day return I’m on to the hyper). I’m going to give this Hyper Explorer a beating here in Michigan. Looking forward to riding!
Damn good looking bike. I'm leery of cheap full suspension in general. With the front fork locked up before even hitting the trail I was sure that bike would fold under the pressure of your thrashing. I was happily surprised. Don't be jealous that another guy is dedicated enough to go to the hospital for his rides. The way you thrash the bikes it's only a matter of time before one of them thrashes you back;) Can't wait to see you install those new group sets. 52t granny? NICE! Get sticky enough tires and you'll be able to climb trees;)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS So long as your descent is planned climbing trees should be alright. Just remember "life is what happens while we're busy making other plans";)
I just came across this video again. I don't think I saw any videos of upgrades on this Hyper. I just picked up a Hyper Explorer Hard Tail. Frame only for a project. The bike as a whole was trash. It's brand new. I did keep the cranks seat seatpost and the quick release clamp. I hope to have it ready when the weather brakes in Jersey
Three things: 1. That is a sweet map mud guard Brandi made. Very creative Brandi. 2. Night of the Comet is a great movie! 3. Tick, you know I just got the Advent groupset, now I have to buy another one…and the gold chain! I guess you can call it budget hoarding! L-TWOO looks sharp.
Buying my other little brother a used GT Aggressor Pro this weekend for $100 all it has is a broken rear derailleur. Cant wait to fix it up so we can all ride together!
I saw some of those Hyper bikes at Walmart the other day. Crazy that the fork locked and the rear wheel got a bit loose. Hyper bikes are missing the boat given that you can get similarly priced bikes with the tapered head tube.
Recently got gifted a Hyper Boundary Trail 26". Its a good looking bike, rides decent. Took the brakes off tho, pads kept rubbing against the rims, rides way nicer without them
Up here in canada, I got my son the same bike except here it came with a matching red aluminum rear triangle and shimano alivio/tourney drive train. He has put that thing thru he'll and back without any damage. Best walmart bike I have seen ever!
It's got that super intelligent AI powered front fork with auto lockout. It only gives you travel when it senses you need it lol. You are correct though, it's a nice looking bike I really like that metallic red color.
i had and ideia of kind of a chalenge! don't know if you'll like it but here it is: so you define a budget... and then you build a bike from scratch! full build you get a frame and you build from there using only budget parts! it's something i'd love to see you guys do :D love the videos btw much love from Portugal
Hey brother, first of all thank you for being a public SUBBER!! It means a lot to the both if us:) Now regarding your idea, we have been thinking of doing that for quite sometime!! We maybe look at that idea this winter when we go back to 2 videos per week. Thanks man!! MUCH LOVE FROM THE U.S.A
Earliest I've been to a wolftick episode since I am sick today so I am not at school as of writing this comment. I'm feeling better now and I will go back tonmarow
Good looking bike. Start the rebuild. Save the frame and seat. Lol. How similar is that frame compared to the XR Pro? Drop that Falcon those things are junk. Had rear cassette on XR which was factory and it was bent in one day. Started pedaling up hill and "What the What" Brandi if you read this hats off to you. That mud guard is amazing. Great video as always Gents. 👍
So lets see, the XR Pro is like a big tall skyscraper with 2 rooms on each floor. The Hyper is a medium sized building with 4 rooms per floor:) So much more spread out and even feeling, cannot believe you bent the casette! LOL
It has that progressive lockout🤣 that sticker kinda scares me🤷🏼♂️ I’m wondering when y’all are gonna invite the wolfticknation for an event at the cats meow? Nice video thanks for the review. Y’all my boys blue😂
Thanks Brother, very progressive!! Lol Now we do need to schedule something at the Cat's meow!!! Would be an awesome experience, we will keep everyone updated! Gonna happen
😆Not our Walmart. The Walmart on this video is a clip we used from our Black Friday in Mississippi video on our Patreon. We were in Hattiesburg Mississippi for Thanksgiving.
Haha, wow another white-knuckler! Yeesh! Scary bike stock anyway. Hey, you need to lubricate Wolfman with some hoppy libation to get his beeper spooled up. That chainring has blown my mind! BOOM! L-2 rocks! Nice looking groupset. I'm interested in seeing how well it works for you!
Dude you should of rode the thing!! LOL WOLFMAN def needs some alcholube! LOL (NEXT SHIRT) Thanks Patches and see ya on the flip side brother:) Thanks man
Hey Jeremiah, guess what, I sold my Villotti and got one of these Explorer FS's. I have to say, this needed a lot of dialing in. But once I got the Saker dialed in (only worked from 5th to 9th, cable was way loose), greased and tightened up the rear hub, changed out the grips to cheap lock on's, put Wake Handlebars and Stem and straightened the front rim, it works great. It definitely is geared very low for climbing, not for top end. I left the Neco alloy pedals on, they aren't half bad. But it's one heavy bike.
Man Perry thats AWESOME! Sounds like you are enjoying the whole squish!! Very cool you tried to keep the saker alive, but man we are both gonna need to get a new rear rim and GROUPSET!! LOL Thanks for the update and we will see ya on the next. Later man
1:29 a comment about this is 99 percent of forks that are big box are like that. in order to prevent this you have to keep cleaning the stantions regularly meaning practically every day. the reason why you have to keep cleaning them is so dust and other debris doesn't get into the insides and clog up the suspension. i would guess the reason why this explorer was on clearance was because of that fork tbh. as someone who's parents were far to cheap to buy a bike over 150 dollars as a kid I only got walmart and target bikes so I know this issue very well. happened on my schwinn santis and my axum. same with the other bikes I had when I was younger but those were kents and avigos lol
Well Eugene since we have reviewed/tested about 20 something bikes and this is the first time we have encountered this fork problem, I'm going to have to say it's not 99% but more like 2 or 3% but who's counting😆. Glad you are feeling better👍.
Three thumbs up, my son James also gave you one. We put L-2s on the Axum and the Gary Fisher Cake. They do good group set. Got some love back on the Lutu forks yesterday. The Zooms are in a box, where they will remain.
Seems like you were really enjoying the Explorer. I say go mullet to make it more slackerer! I have never even heard of that Comet movie but more important is how rad that LT-woooooooooo parts haul was. Can't wait for the next vid dudes. 😎👍⚓
Hats off to Brandi for that awesome front fender. It rarely rains in SW Washington, so I have no need for one. It is raining in Las Vegas right now, however.
Before you ditch the drivetrain try and fix it. Maybe make it part of of the upgraded group set video. Repair the current setup and compare to a new one. That way a guy that can’t immediately throw on a groupset at his brand new bike can get an idea on how to make the saker last. Start with wheel bearing regrease and cone tensions, pull the the free wheel double check all of it, etc. just a thought.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS always glad to make suggestions from the comfort of my chair. A friend has one of the hardtail versions of this bike with the saker group on it and it shifts so good right out of the box. I was blown away when I hopped on it and rode it. I’m Not little or easy on things and did really well.
DAMN man you freaking sent that thing atleast you avoided a reck this time, definetly overjumped the 3rd table too! the cats meow looks more fun everytime i see it
I have the same hyper. The rear suspension bushings blow out after 2 drops . The fork will compress on large drop lol I swapped everything but the cranks and saddle
Hey guys great video as always! Got the wife a bike! Polygon Clio 2 ... and she already had a trip to ER from it (1st ride too) ... ugh ... but she is a trooper and still riding it!
Jared you are the man, thank you for the hookup and its great that T.A.C.O takes great care of the trails for us. Very grateful for you and everyone involved. Fender is SWEEET!! Thank you for thinking of us Jared👍👍
Great ride/real time! Weird on that fork, but at least it works when it counts, lol 😆 Great Mail Time 😁 Have a great week,guys, Liked and Shared as always 😊✌
Bro you sent that thing 💪🏾💯 I thought the spot between the trees was gonna be the crash test for sure! Great riding great video THAT chain ring was so SICK 🤩. Looking forward to the next one #wolfticknation
I still like the ledge X1 it looks better to me. Well at least this ones rear suspension actually moves the ledge X1 don't move at all I weigh like 156lbs and I had to put a 550 lb spring on my new coil shock to get it to move and still wish I can get it softer! That map fender is sick! Good stuff guy's!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS So far for my ledge X1 I got the rear oil coil shock, orange fooker pedals, orange ESi grips, the pnw gen 3 range bars, and for Christmas I am getting the roxshox 27.5 120mm judy silver TK fork... should be nice!
Lol bust it loose! I've never seen a fork locked out like that, even with the lockout turned on! That weight limit sticker makes me worried 😞, but not as much as that 🌴 you barely missed lol way to keep your composure. After the upgrades it will be a beast
Awesome video. Those l-twoo derailleur look sexy. 19:02 I think you mis-spoke and said one might go on the hyper hydroform...but we know how you get excited with new toys.
The Tick didn't compare it to the Ledge X1 because of features, he compared it because of riding feel. I guarantee you can't feel the differences in derailleur hanger styles while riding😉. Removable derailleur hangers are important to some, but 25 or so bikes and hundreds of miles and dozens of wrecks later we have never had a problem with one.
Great vid guys. I am looking into getting my first mountain bike and like the upgrade as you go approach you talk about. Thing is that it seems that Walmart is either out of what I like or raising the price. I am right at 6’ tall, but have a short inseam “32” and long up half. Was looking at the AL comp, or the Ledge X1, what to stay 27.5 wheel. Would one of these fit better than the other. Can get the AL comp now, but the Ledge is out of stock.
Hey Anthoy, thanks for finding us man. Now the Comp is gonna be way to small for ya, it is small for me ! So now it's up to the Ledge full squish or the Boundary?? Boundary would fit you well, also has a 1x and is a 29er but not gigantic??? Maybe a Taff??
all of these walmart bikes seem to come small, especially mongoose. The sizing info they give out always says "5'6 to 6'4". You'll have to google the standover height and see if it's comfortable for you.
BTW mate all of these walmart bikes you can order online, put it together, if it doesn't fit you can bring the assembled bike back to walmart and do a full refund. I save the paper packaging for the wheel, and keep that bag with the manual zip tied to the seat, I've never had a problem returning them. Might want to call your store and make sure first.
Dude you’re right it’s honestly amazing some of the things they’re putting on clearance we got that bike for Pamela on clearance and can’t believe that what we paid for it she’s been loving it…. Perhaps everybody’s going to eat Bike so they’re just like phasing out regular bikes in general putting them all on clearance….who knows🤔🤔
I need a 29 maybe I’ll look into this one…..I really want a fat bike cruiser though that’s big for my ridiculous legs….everyone I find on line is out of stock and I fill out the waiting list and haven’t heard from any of them….
First off big fan of y'all's chanel man watch it everyday second question for the hyper explorer what rims would you recommend for it I just got one and I'm Guna start upgrading it soon
Hey Michael, thanks for the comment man. Now regarding your wheelswt question, look into the bucklos wheels, we may be receiving a wheelset from Bucklos. I hear there are many points of engagement on the rear!!
this bike has a SEVENTEEN-inch frame. why it feel good on tick. I tried one of these at my local Walmart and I would say 5"10 is the max height for this bike. the stock Seatpost is super short and I'm 5'10 and with the stock Seatpost, ALL the way up it was still a bit small for me. tips to those taller riders considering it.
15:36 I am curious about this chain ring. I've not seen this one before. If this is well made, and offset is correct and price is good then it might be good option. If it actually is 7075 alloyy as claimed.
I think you should send that bike back to Wallmart and get something that is better stock. Remember that people looking to purchase a bike in this price range is not going to upgrade it as soon as the first ride. Maybe you can try the Schwinn Santis or Taff Comp. Also how about some XR pro Videos.
Not sure what you are basing that on considering it did better than a lot of bikes we have tested. The Taff Comp is just not that appealing of a bike to us for two reasons primarily, looks and size. Remember we got this bike at Walmart not through the mail, and that is always bonus points in our book as it makes it a bike that will be searched more often. The Tick actually loves the look and riding experience of this bike so unfortunately you will be seeing it around for a while😉😆. We should have some more XR Pro videos at some point, but unfortunately it is not a bike The Tick gets excited for, so it gets pushed back easier than some others. Hope this helps. Thanks👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hate to say it but when I ordered mine it was $525, and that hurt, now I'm told it backordered again...I want to order upgrades for it, but I don't even have it yet!
is that 261 including tax or no tax? on the website it says 348. at my local stores it also says 348. since Arkansas is the home of walmart maybe prices are lower there lfmao idk
9:14 You need to adjust the reach and the lever position on the handlebar to get enough leverage and not fatigue your finger. Stop abusing yourself. The brake lever is clamped way too far out on the bar. The brakes should be placed so you cane use the index finger to brake, and reach should be adjusted to end up braking with mid bone. No wonder you could not brake in time. You did not have enough leverage. You have check the brakes and adjust it on every bike.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I see you have the brake levers almost flat, if reach is long enough you can have a relaxed hand just resting on the grip, and can have the brake levers like this. but if a bike is too small, you should make them steeper, but a small bike will fatigue the upper body and hands, arms, but having them steeper on a too small bike will eliminate extreme kink in the wrist, but as theoretical the bike is too small the hand will be fatigued. As my bike fits me well I have the brakes at a quite flat angle.
Why have you got the bars in that weird laid back flat position? Was it because the reach was too long for you? Looks weird. lol. Or is that how Walmart had assembled it?
Yeah fuck this bike I bought one a it came broken the front wheel was way out of true and I can't shift to 8th or 9th because my chain will fall off I'm hoping that the derailleur just needs to be adjusted and the wheel I already sorted out so yippy but still not a full yippy just yet.
Man look at LT WOOO stepping up i might have to go find these! Also man i was afraid that fork was going to act funny and one minute be work and the next u come down on it locked out ughhh thats sketchyy
The bike is awful. 8:37 The welds are rough and unevenly welded. This bike is what some call fool suspension cus it has suspension buy its not proper suspension so it might fool somlne from a distance. This bike has steep head angle, long rear end, bad geometry. As you probably won't be surprised about I am not a fan of this bike. But I Wallmart bikes are too small for me anyway. This is something they need to improve, more sizing and better bikes. Upgrading this bike is not really worth it. Mabye if you got all parts very cheap and you jud rcant get anything else. I reccomend to get something else instead. Go second hand instead.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS quite common on cheap bikes, but even some high end bikes or frame builders don't do a great job. So inspecting the welds your self is a good idea. there should be no holes or bulges, or missing sections. All my trek bikes had good welds, but had other issues, it's not easy to notice all potential issues, sometimes you have to look close up and test ride the bike. I don't trust most brands to be great quality. But I hope this improves. I want to see more budget friendly quality bikes, with enough sizes and good geometry.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS how is the stiffness on these bikes? what was the fully kitted rider weight during the test? Some bikes are too flexy, and some become problematic with certain weight, and some get worse as you get up in size.
I've seen this a few times around me. I really like the red. The weight is definitely more than I would have guessed.
Man the blue is pretty sweet too! Thanks Chicken Sendies!!! 🐔 Gotta get this girl on a diet!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS haha. The hardtail version is ehhh at the 348 price point when the taff comp exists
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Put her on that fancy keto diet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just bought this bike - I’m 6’2” tall, and will probably try a seat post upgrade. First ride out, it was super smooth and a lot lighter than the Ken Genesis I had. (I blew out two Kent 29s this summer but since it’s under the 90 day return I’m on to the hyper). I’m going to give this Hyper Explorer a beating here in Michigan. Looking forward to riding!
🤣🤣 Well be safe when your giving her hell! Love the looks of this bike and just might need to get her out soon.
Damn good looking bike. I'm leery of cheap full suspension in general. With the front fork locked up before even hitting the trail I was sure that bike would fold under the pressure of your thrashing. I was happily surprised.
Don't be jealous that another guy is dedicated enough to go to the hospital for his rides. The way you thrash the bikes it's only a matter of time before one of them thrashes you back;)
Can't wait to see you install those new group sets. 52t granny? NICE! Get sticky enough tires and you'll be able to climb trees;)
Totally Jealous!! Lol But man we are so excited to install the LTWOO!! Climbing trees in the near future!!😉😉 Thanks Michael.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS So long as your descent is planned climbing trees should be alright.
Just remember "life is what happens while we're busy making other plans";)
I just came across this video again. I don't think I saw any videos of upgrades on this Hyper. I just picked up a Hyper Explorer Hard Tail. Frame only for a project. The bike as a whole was trash. It's brand new. I did keep the cranks seat seatpost and the quick release clamp. I hope to have it ready when the weather brakes in Jersey
Dude, you know I just was looking at that thang last night! It needs to be re visited and maybe one of my favorite looking bikes.
Three things:
1. That is a sweet map mud guard Brandi made. Very creative Brandi.
2. Night of the Comet is a great movie!
3. Tick, you know I just got the Advent groupset, now I have to buy another one…and the gold chain! I guess you can call it budget hoarding! L-TWOO looks sharp.
HA HA GOLD CHAIN IS ALL YOU!!! HA HA HA! Glad you caught that brother:)
Buying my other little brother a used GT Aggressor Pro this weekend for $100 all it has is a broken rear derailleur. Cant wait to fix it up so we can all ride together!
BEST BROTHER EVER!!!
I saw some of those Hyper bikes at Walmart the other day. Crazy that the fork locked and the rear wheel got a bit loose. Hyper bikes are missing the boat given that you can get similarly priced bikes with the tapered head tube.
Agree, I think a $200 price range would be sufficient. I also like the blue ones👍👍
Recently got gifted a Hyper Boundary Trail 26". Its a good looking bike, rides decent. Took the brakes off tho, pads kept rubbing against the rims, rides way nicer without them
Up here in canada, I got my son the same bike except here it came with a matching red aluminum rear triangle and shimano alivio/tourney drive train. He has put that thing thru he'll and back without any damage. Best walmart bike I have seen ever!
WOW!! Thats great to hear, it looks to be a winner and man hopefully we have a similar experience:) Thanks for the comment brother!
my explore bounced like crazy, I returned it and bought a diamondback hard tail, so far definitely enjoying it.thanks for this vid!!!!!
Ha ha not a problem man, thank you for the comment! Let us know if you wanna buy this one!!😂😂😂
It's got that super intelligent AI powered front fork with auto lockout. It only gives you travel when it senses you need it lol. You are correct though, it's a nice looking bike I really like that metallic red color.
Thanks brother and I knew HYPER was onto something with that SCIENTIFIC fork!! LOL have a good one man:P
I’m at a job site right now that has roosters next door. I think of the wolftick intro every time I hear them lol
Ha ha ha!! Thays awesome man, thank you for being apart of the #wolfticknation. Thats how you know you are official!! PACKOCK
i had and ideia of kind of a chalenge! don't know if you'll like it but here it is: so you define a budget... and then you build a bike from scratch! full build you get a frame and you build from there using only budget parts! it's something i'd love to see you guys do :D love the videos btw much love from Portugal
Hey brother, first of all thank you for being a public SUBBER!! It means a lot to the both if us:) Now regarding your idea, we have been thinking of doing that for quite sometime!! We maybe look at that idea this winter when we go back to 2 videos per week. Thanks man!! MUCH LOVE FROM THE U.S.A
Earliest I've been to a wolftick episode since I am sick today so I am not at school as of writing this comment. I'm feeling better now and I will go back tonmarow
Man, hope you get feeling better.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I feel better now and I will go back tommarow. Only thing bothering is a stuffy nose. Thanks for the support
It's June 2022 and I bought one of these from Walmart for $428!!! At least the forks work but I think everything is identical.
Nice man, soooooo ITS TIME TO UPGRADE!!
Good looking bike. Start the rebuild. Save the frame and seat. Lol. How similar is that frame compared to the XR Pro? Drop that Falcon those things are junk. Had rear cassette on XR which was factory and it was bent in one day. Started pedaling up hill and "What the What" Brandi if you read this hats off to you. That mud guard is amazing. Great video as always Gents. 👍
So lets see, the XR Pro is like a big tall skyscraper with 2 rooms on each floor. The Hyper is a medium sized building with 4 rooms per floor:) So much more spread out and even feeling, cannot believe you bent the casette! LOL
It has that progressive lockout🤣 that sticker kinda scares me🤷🏼♂️ I’m wondering when y’all are gonna invite the wolfticknation for an event at the cats meow? Nice video thanks for the review. Y’all my boys blue😂
Thanks Brother, very progressive!! Lol Now we do need to schedule something at the Cat's meow!!! Would be an awesome experience, we will keep everyone updated! Gonna happen
3:03 your walmart has a lot of bikes. well mine does too since its 45 degrees and raining all the time now lol
😆Not our Walmart. The Walmart on this video is a clip we used from our Black Friday in Mississippi video on our Patreon. We were in Hattiesburg Mississippi for Thanksgiving.
Haha, wow another white-knuckler! Yeesh! Scary bike stock anyway. Hey, you need to lubricate Wolfman with some hoppy libation to get his beeper spooled up. That chainring has blown my mind! BOOM! L-2 rocks! Nice looking groupset. I'm interested in seeing how well it works for you!
Dude you should of rode the thing!! LOL WOLFMAN def needs some alcholube! LOL (NEXT SHIRT) Thanks Patches and see ya on the flip side brother:) Thanks man
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Yikes! I don't think its safe to ride stock! You handled it great, I'd have hit a tree or worse...
Hey Jeremiah, guess what, I sold my Villotti and got one of these Explorer FS's. I have to say, this needed a lot of dialing in. But once I got the Saker dialed in (only worked from 5th to 9th, cable was way loose), greased and tightened up the rear hub, changed out the grips to cheap lock on's, put Wake Handlebars and Stem and straightened the front rim, it works great. It definitely is geared very low for climbing, not for top end. I left the Neco alloy pedals on, they aren't half bad. But it's one heavy bike.
Man Perry thats AWESOME! Sounds like you are enjoying the whole squish!! Very cool you tried to keep the saker alive, but man we are both gonna need to get a new rear rim and GROUPSET!! LOL Thanks for the update and we will see ya on the next. Later man
1:29 a comment about this is 99 percent of forks that are big box are like that. in order to prevent this you have to keep cleaning the stantions regularly meaning practically every day. the reason why you have to keep cleaning them is so dust and other debris doesn't get into the insides and clog up the suspension. i would guess the reason why this explorer was on clearance was because of that fork tbh. as someone who's parents were far to cheap to buy a bike over 150 dollars as a kid I only got walmart and target bikes so I know this issue very well. happened on my schwinn santis and my axum. same with the other bikes I had when I was younger but those were kents and avigos lol
Well Eugene since we have reviewed/tested about 20 something bikes and this is the first time we have encountered this fork problem, I'm going to have to say it's not 99% but more like 2 or 3% but who's counting😆. Glad you are feeling better👍.
Good morning wolfman wolftick Jeremiah I'm glad you made it through the trail okay without hurting yourself
WOW!! SO SIRPRISED WILLARD!! LOL THANKS 👨
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS you should put that triple downhill fork on the the Mongoose orridor
Three thumbs up, my son James also gave you one. We put L-2s on the Axum and the Gary Fisher Cake. They do good group set. Got some love back on the Lutu forks yesterday. The Zooms are in a box, where they will remain.
Ha ha thanks man, great to show a little love to the lutus for sure, now Bob.....No ZOOM love?? 😉😉
The cat's meow makes me think about the movie The Village from 2004 .
🤣🤣🤔
I put maxxis hookworms on mine its such a good street cruiser
Hmmm.. Never heard of those?? GOTTS TO GO TAKE A LOOKSY NOW!! Thanks man:)
Seems like you were really enjoying the Explorer. I say go mullet to make it more slackerer! I have never even heard of that Comet movie but more important is how rad that LT-woooooooooo parts haul was. Can't wait for the next vid dudes.
😎👍⚓
Thanks Brother, the movie seems to be a winner LOL and the LTWOO!! Seems tight too:) Cannot wait to install man, maybe the XR PRO will get one??
Hats off to Brandi for that awesome front fender. It rarely rains in SW Washington, so I have no need for one. It is raining in Las Vegas right now, however.
Lol, she is great!! The fender will be on the WALL!!!
Before you ditch the drivetrain try and fix it. Maybe make it part of of the upgraded group set video. Repair the current setup and compare to a new one. That way a guy that can’t immediately throw on a groupset at his brand new bike can get an idea on how to make the saker last.
Start with wheel bearing regrease and cone tensions, pull the the free wheel double check all of it, etc. just a thought.
Tech that is a good idea, we may just do that on the groupset. Or do an extra Sunday video of it, thanks man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS always glad to make suggestions from the comfort of my chair. A friend has one of the hardtail versions of this bike with the saker group on it and it shifts so good right out of the box. I was blown away when I hopped on it and rode it. I’m
Not little or easy on things and did really well.
DAMN man you freaking sent that thing atleast you avoided a reck this time, definetly overjumped the 3rd table too! the cats meow looks more fun everytime i see it
You need to ride it to fully appreciate it brother, thanks Budget_MTB YOU ARE AN O.G.!!
I have the same hyper. The rear suspension bushings blow out after 2 drops . The fork will compress on large drop lol I swapped everything but the cranks and saddle
Man that sounds like a WOLFTICK VIDEOS build!!! 😜😜
Hey guys great video as always! Got the wife a bike! Polygon Clio 2 ... and she already had a trip to ER from it (1st ride too) ... ugh ... but she is a trooper and still riding it!
Oh no!! Hope she remains recovered and is not shy when it comes to sending it! LOL THANKS X
Enjoy the shirts guys. You can thank Traci Berry from Northwoods for the shirts. She was my hook up. P.S. I'm jealous of the fender.
Jared you are the man, thank you for the hookup and its great that T.A.C.O takes great care of the trails for us. Very grateful for you and everyone involved. Fender is SWEEET!! Thank you for thinking of us Jared👍👍
Great ride/real time! Weird on that fork, but at least it works when it counts, lol 😆 Great Mail Time 😁 Have a great week,guys, Liked and Shared as always 😊✌
You are the man, thank you! Mailtime was Great and so is the nation, thank you for being here ❤
The L-twoo gear looks pretty nice hope it performs well 🤞. Awsome vid guys.
Thanks Jason, we are looking forward to the install! Thanks for the comment man, see ya on the next:)
Way to send it!! Your brave. I would not think I ever would considered a Hyper. Its a pretty bike tho. Love the video's.
SENT!! LOL THANKS man, we will see how the bike fares out over time.
Man I've been waiting for this
Nice to see ya Dakota
Bro you sent that thing 💪🏾💯 I thought the spot between the trees was gonna be the crash test for sure! Great riding great video THAT chain ring was so SICK 🤩. Looking forward to the next one #wolfticknation
Thank you brother, I tried and glad it kinda held up!! Ha ha stay cool man, thank you for being here👍👍👍
Man, that mud guard is pretty legit!
LEGIT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!
Great video again guys good bike sorry about the forks sound bad but bike looks good can't wait to see what you do to it
Thanks Clive, the fork brought a whole new dimension and worry to the video!! Lol But all in all sketchy
I still like the ledge X1 it looks better to me. Well at least this ones rear suspension actually moves the ledge X1 don't move at all I weigh like 156lbs and I had to put a 550 lb spring on my new coil shock to get it to move and still wish I can get it softer! That map fender is sick! Good stuff guy's!
Thanks Brother, and after watching the Ledge x1 is pretty freaking sweet!! Lol gotta get some drunken ebay in now!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS So far for my ledge X1 I got the rear oil coil shock, orange fooker pedals, orange ESi grips, the pnw gen 3 range bars, and for Christmas I am getting the roxshox 27.5 120mm judy silver TK fork... should be nice!
More Ltwoo! Awesome!
He'll yeah man!! We have you to thank for this, really... Thank you
Lol bust it loose! I've never seen a fork locked out like that, even with the lockout turned on! That weight limit sticker makes me worried 😞, but not as much as that 🌴 you barely missed lol way to keep your composure. After the upgrades it will be a beast
Man I hope you are right!! LOL Tree was SCARY!! No that LOCKOUT THOUGH!!! HA HA HA!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks bro, hanging in there, and getting back right
Looks like you might have pee’d yourself at the Waterworks Trailhead! Sketch! Great footage as usual guys.
DEF!!! HA HA Just not as much pee as you when you hit that NASTY RAPID!!! HA HA HA!!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS here is the short video that i made of my crew running that rapid ruclips.net/video/5SWa3GryyAE/видео.html
Awesome video. Those l-twoo derailleur look sexy. 19:02 I think you mis-spoke and said one might go on the hyper hydroform...but we know how you get excited with new toys.
Lol!! GL333N!! I DID HA HA HA!! DAMN ALL EXCITED 😂😂😂
i think this bike is more comparable to the temisor since they both have no derailier hanger but that's what I think
The Tick didn't compare it to the Ledge X1 because of features, he compared it because of riding feel. I guarantee you can't feel the differences in derailleur hanger styles while riding😉. Removable derailleur hangers are important to some, but 25 or so bikes and hundreds of miles and dozens of wrecks later we have never had a problem with one.
The wiggle in the wheel I think just needs to be tightened
Agree, gotta look into the proper tool for that, everyone is saying the cogs...
Great vid guys. I am looking into getting my first mountain bike and like the upgrade as you go approach you talk about. Thing is that it seems that Walmart is either out of what I like or raising the price. I am right at 6’ tall, but have a short inseam “32” and long up half. Was looking at the AL comp, or the Ledge X1, what to stay 27.5 wheel. Would one of these fit better than the other. Can get the AL comp now, but the Ledge is out of stock.
Hey Anthoy, thanks for finding us man. Now the Comp is gonna be way to small for ya, it is small for me ! So now it's up to the Ledge full squish or the Boundary?? Boundary would fit you well, also has a 1x and is a 29er but not gigantic??? Maybe a Taff??
all of these walmart bikes seem to come small, especially mongoose. The sizing info they give out always says "5'6 to 6'4". You'll have to google the standover height and see if it's comfortable for you.
BTW mate all of these walmart bikes you can order online, put it together, if it doesn't fit you can bring the assembled bike back to walmart and do a full refund. I save the paper packaging for the wheel, and keep that bag with the manual zip tied to the seat, I've never had a problem returning them. Might want to call your store and make sure first.
That's an interesting budget ride. At 41lb it needs to go on a diet but with an aluminium frame I'm wondering where all the weight is.
Man, gotta be fork and rear triangle....
Dude you’re right it’s honestly amazing some of the things they’re putting on clearance we got that bike for Pamela on clearance and can’t believe that what we paid for it she’s been loving it…. Perhaps everybody’s going to eat Bike so they’re just like phasing out regular bikes in general putting them all on clearance….who knows🤔🤔
I need a 29 maybe I’ll look into this one…..I really want a fat bike cruiser though that’s big for my ridiculous legs….everyone I find on line is out of stock and I fill out the waiting list and haven’t heard from any of them….
Hey fellas, so happy the bike is working out for her🤘🤘 Now we need this bike and all the rest to drop about $200!! Lol
Any chance y’all are going to build a single speed 26er dirt jump soon? I feel like that would be great content and also fit with my build project.
We will absolutely be doing that. It might be soon, or it might be in a couple of months though😉.
First off big fan of y'all's chanel man watch it everyday second question for the hyper explorer what rims would you recommend for it I just got one and I'm Guna start upgrading it soon
Hey Michael, thanks for the comment man. Now regarding your wheelswt question, look into the bucklos wheels, we may be receiving a wheelset from Bucklos. I hear there are many points of engagement on the rear!!
First comment
🏆🥇👍
8:24 rear hubs loose AF! oh buDDY!
😂😂😂😂
Sounds like the cones need adjusted for the rear hub.
Needs a lot more than that!! 😂😂
Does Brandy sell map fenders? Super cool.
Ground Keeper allows you to make custom stuff. I made the jpg of the map, then added the other little stuff and their logo.
Not Sure??? Maybe she will see this!
this bike has a SEVENTEEN-inch frame. why it feel good on tick. I tried one of these at my local Walmart and I would say 5"10 is the max height for this bike. the stock Seatpost is super short and I'm 5'10 and with the stock Seatpost, ALL the way up it was still a bit small for me. tips to those taller riders considering it.
OK
15:36 I am curious about this chain ring. I've not seen this one before. If this is well made, and offset is correct and price is good then it might be good option. If it actually is 7075 alloyy as claimed.
This looks very quality, feels great and looks the part👍👍
Carbon. Fiber. Nuff said
😂😂CARBON FIBER!! YES🤫
I think you should send that bike back to Wallmart and get something that is better stock. Remember that people looking to purchase a bike in this price range is not going to upgrade it as soon as the first ride. Maybe you can try the Schwinn Santis or Taff Comp. Also how about some XR pro Videos.
Not sure what you are basing that on considering it did better than a lot of bikes we have tested. The Taff Comp is just not that appealing of a bike to us for two reasons primarily, looks and size. Remember we got this bike at Walmart not through the mail, and that is always bonus points in our book as it makes it a bike that will be searched more often. The Tick actually loves the look and riding experience of this bike so unfortunately you will be seeing it around for a while😉😆. We should have some more XR Pro videos at some point, but unfortunately it is not a bike The Tick gets excited for, so it gets pushed back easier than some others. Hope this helps. Thanks👍
I heard that the rear triangle is steel
It is.......
When will you do another sandstorm upgrade?!?. 😎🥳🥳
Man not too sure, we are needing to finish some projects up then maybe into next summer we just may.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Roger that man. Do what you do best 🚴🏽♂️
The range on the freewheel dont sound bad, too bad it doesnt shift good
Agree man, really did not mind not having an 11
Just got this bike and was wondering what yall suggest modifying to make it just trail steady, im still new so im unsure myself!
Ooh! Congrats, maybe some Pedals, grips then tires!!
What do you guys think of the current going prices for the ledge X1 on ebay? Currently sitting at $625 -$699...
REDICULOUS!! That does not even have a freehub, theu need to stop that gouging man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hate to say it but when I ordered mine it was $525, and that hurt, now I'm told it backordered again...I want to order upgrades for it, but I don't even have it yet!
Any thoughts on the XR Pro vs this
Man this is a little more spread out in a good way, the xr pro seems higher up and a small cockpit.
is that 261 including tax or no tax? on the website it says 348. at my local stores it also says 348. since Arkansas is the home of walmart maybe prices are lower there lfmao idk
We got it for $261 but we have seen it as low as $248. At Walmart you always pay tax unless it's back to school weekend😉.
My front suspension is to loose
Well, you sure it's not your headset??
Would you recommend this bike over Schwinn Comp Al 27.5”?
9:14 You need to adjust the reach and the lever position on the handlebar to get enough leverage and not fatigue your finger. Stop abusing yourself. The brake lever is clamped way too far out on the bar. The brakes should be placed so you cane use the index finger to brake, and reach should be adjusted to end up braking with mid bone.
No wonder you could not brake in time. You did not have enough leverage.
You have check the brakes and adjust it on every bike.
Gotcha
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I see you have the brake levers almost flat, if reach is long enough you can have a relaxed hand just resting on the grip, and can have the brake levers like this. but if a bike is too small, you should make them steeper, but a small bike will fatigue the upper body and hands, arms, but having them steeper on a too small bike will eliminate extreme kink in the wrist, but as theoretical the bike is too small the hand will be fatigued.
As my bike fits me well I have the brakes at a quite flat angle.
schwinn and mongoose say their bike can hold 330 pounds while hyper says 275 pounds. i think hyper is being a bit honest
👍
Why have you got the bars in that weird laid back flat position? Was it because the reach was too long for you? Looks weird. lol. Or is that how Walmart had assembled it?
Its strictly how we bought it from Walmart:) All bikes (as you know) are ridden at first AS IS!! LOL
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Youre a braver guy than me man. lol. Id have to check everything worked & was tight first :)
Give 1800 got got junk a call!!
😂😂😂
Fork locked out of the box?
😂😂 Yes
Idle the ledge x1 better
*I like
We like both, but the Ledge X1 if definitely one of our all time favorites. We think this bike has some potential though.
is that 261 including tax?
No. It's Walmart, so it is always plus tax. We never mention tax because it differs from town, county, and state.
Hyper vs xr pro in the future?
It's looking like more of a Hyper vs Ledge X1 due to The Tick feeling like they are comparable "feeling" bikes, whatever that means😆.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS just has a similar look to the xr pro in my opinion
@Tim Peterson I don't disagree, but he is stubborn as 💩😆🤷
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS lol
Yeah fuck this bike I bought one a it came broken the front wheel was way out of true and I can't shift to 8th or 9th because my chain will fall off I'm hoping that the derailleur just needs to be adjusted and the wheel I already sorted out so yippy but still not a full yippy just yet.
How tall are you
5'5"
Man look at LT WOOO stepping up i might have to go find these! Also man i was afraid that fork was going to act funny and one minute be work and the next u come down on it locked out ughhh thats sketchyy
LTWOOOO!!! HA HA def stepping there game up, very cool of them. Now as for the fork.....TRASH!!! LOL
The bike is awful. 8:37 The welds are rough and unevenly welded.
This bike is what some call fool suspension cus it has suspension buy its not proper suspension so it might fool somlne from a distance.
This bike has steep head angle, long rear end, bad geometry. As you probably won't be surprised about I am not a fan of this bike. But I Wallmart bikes are too small for me anyway. This is something they need to improve, more sizing and better bikes. Upgrading this bike is not really worth it. Mabye if you got all parts very cheap and you jud rcant get anything else. I reccomend to get something else instead. Go second hand instead.
Little rough yes....
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS quite common on cheap bikes, but even some high end bikes or frame builders don't do a great job. So inspecting the welds your self is a good idea. there should be no holes or bulges, or missing sections. All my trek bikes had good welds, but had other issues, it's not easy to notice all potential issues, sometimes you have to look close up and test ride the bike. I don't trust most brands to be great quality. But I hope this improves. I want to see more budget friendly quality bikes, with enough sizes and good geometry.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS how is the stiffness on these bikes? what was the fully kitted rider weight during the test? Some bikes are too flexy, and some become problematic with certain weight, and some get worse as you get up in size.
