It really is always the guys on Transitions who roll up the the weekly summer night beer race in Hawaiian shirts having just blasted a doobie lol
Yup. I ride with a bunch of dudes who run transitions and they’re all animals. I rolled up on my homie literally rolling up before sending a 20 foot drop
Awesome
@@jackbecker4866 Ja bless
Yep, thats me on my Transition most of the days
They go crazy at lookout
Levy's been doing a great job of facilitating all of these. Asking the right questions to open up the other two, and commenting on the answers in a way that I'm sure a lot of us are thinking. All of it comes off really natural and genuine. I'm happy with my bike and don't live where an enduro bike would be appropriate, but I'm still watching these because I feel like it helps me learn more about bikes, and Levy's been a big part of that through this presentation style.
He’s fantastic, these videos wouldn’t be the same without him. Love him and the three test riders, great crew
@@jarnold1789 Yeah I don't understand the constant comments attacking the commentators on a personal level, I want to chew them all out. They provide the information I seek in a great way. People act wild like they expect every presenter to be a Saturday Night Live personality or something. I'd love to see the same comment critiquers try to talk through their own youtube video I bet they'd all sound dead, flat, and boring having never practiced presenting content.
Levy!!! - Great job on the questions. This video seemed to have more of those deeper questions than the others. Deeper into the shock pressures, timed testing results vs. ride feel, reasons for differences in timed testing results, brake performance. Looking forward to the round tables. Great Stuff.
Best time of the year I love these reviews of enduros
I really hope at the conclusion of the 7 bike reviews, you post all the times from all the riders for all the bikes 🙂
Nice transitions in this edit
I just rode a Patrol at Wairoa Gorge in Nelson, NZ. What a beast. Crushed the terrain up there.
i have the 22 alloy version bumped both ends up to 170 with a coil in the back and this thing shreds silver mountain bike park ,just rips down snake pit , and frankenbeans it has taken my riding to a new level
Yeah dude it rips, great bike. Parked my V10.
Your up near northern idaho? I'm trying to get into mountain biking and will be shredding silver, schweitzer, and Canfield once I get a bike.
@@huntersihelp I live in Spokane
Youre*
4th season on my 2017 patrol carbon. Such a fun bike, and it doesn’t feel too overbiked on mellow stuff thanks to its low weight.
Whoa, Matt with a shoutout to Radar charts. Nicely done!
Got mine this year I love it
Have the aluminum version on the list. Owned a Smuggler before and this was the best bike I had so far.
I like these three although the most recent Levy/Kaz (sp?) reviews show some really special chemistry. I've watched this review about 10x now and am pretty sure I'll be getting this bike as soon as I can find one for a test ride :)
It's a great bike, I've got mine at 170/170.
I didn’t think I would notice the smaller wheel lack of roll over as much as I did. Mullet was quicker, 29er faster. After back to backs, I ended up 29er. I would pick mullet in smoother trails.
Love my transition patrol. Would like it carbon though as you add DH tires and inserts ect it gets heavy. Jagwire cable foam is a must!
Cool bike! Whats the real weight if I may ask, and which model dodyou get?
@@geoffgoldplum1231 I believe it’s right around 36 stock. But I put a maxxis DH tire with Vitoria inset in so it’s closer to 39/40
@@geoffgoldplum1231 my alloy large is 38 pounds
@@Peak_Mid thanks!
@@307.William thanks!
Great bike:)
I’m a mullet believer. I have the new Bronson, but if I was looking for more travel the new Patrol would be on my short list.
Love my Status 160, super super fun bike. Similar to the patrol, just with shorter chainstays
FYI - I have Cascade Link and run mine 180/180 at whistler and it’s fucking amazing. Then can swap link and shorten stroke for trail riding to get 160/170 in rear…
What fork & shock are you running?
And do you flip the geo switch for park riding? I ride a lot of tech at parks and would worry about making the bottom bracket even lower than it already is in high geo.
How does that link help with the chattery rough parts of trail that feels like it slows you down?
@@tronmagik fox 38 upfront. dhx2 coil in the rear. Yes, to compensate for slacker headtube angle I put it in the HIGH setting when running 180/180
@@307.William exactly what you said... you compromise the lively feeling of the bike to have more DH traits... being able to plow through things... so yes, can slow you down on the flats but gives higher speed in the tech.
@@mchong91 I still run my float X2. I’d like to try a coil but I’m already around 39lbs with DH rear tire and inserts. What happens to me is I’ll be hauling ass on a horse trail and hit a section that was crusty mud once. With all the hoof prints, holes and rocks I feel like my rear end slows me down. I would hope this link helps with that. I don’t like throwing money at a problem that is really a characteristic of the bike
Had the previous 27,5 carbon and I can see that the new one is better, so I think this is the best mountain bike for mountain bikers !🤘🤘🤘
What year model did you have?
@@donspradley6912 2020
Isn't the tracer S a mullet only? I'd like to know more of those 2 compared.
I have a carbon transition patrol, but mine has a coil for fun.
Very nearly bought a Patrol (al) but saw a fantastic deal on a Revel Rail I couldn’t pass up.
How you liking it now?
I'm definitely going to buy this I'm 6ft I'm torn between getting a medium and a large any recommendations plus I'm going to order it wearing on Hawaiian shirt smoking a doobie. 😂
This really makes me wish the Nomad made it to the test. The numbers are really close to the Patrol so I wonder how it compares. I’ve got three rides on mine and really like it but I was looking at a Patrol for quiet some time, if they had the carbon out last year I may have done it.
I was thinking the same thing at the onset of this series. A few of these bikes compare pretty favorably to the new Nomad being mixed wheeled, similar geometry specs, travel and whatnot! I've got a V6 frameset coming soon and can't wait to get it built up and give it a rip!
@@TFritz82 awesome! I’m liking mine so far just have to dial in the rear a bit more, base settings seems a bit soft.
Hello, great review.
The question was asked patrol or spire the answer was more for the patrol because of the mullet.
The follow up question is, what if you mullet the spire
Would that be the dream bike?
Why stop there, now the TR11 comes mullet
Does Levy N+1 on laptops as well?
Matt does NOT want to commit does he?
'If you were turning up to an enduro race, is this the bike you'd pick? Cue 'waffle, waffle, not really, but I'm not going to give a firm opinion'.
Funny to hear while also frustrating, but I guess that's what the Round Table is for...
There is a hum in the audio for this video FYI.
I hope Alisha is on the mend after her Crash - I just read she had a massive crash not long after this. I Hope your back in action soon
Why does it seem like air pressure is the only adjustment testers play with ?never hear anything about other settings . Allways hear a bike is “poppy or planted” yet no comment on rebound settings I feel like I cld just show up and turn some dials and completely change the entire review lol
Is this bike between the Bronson and new Nomad MX bikes?
Some people are small and/or don't have top skills needed to control and turn the vagon wheels and most of riders don't race. 27.5 is a good thing, please brands, keep it at least in the rear 🤙🤙
MORE 27.5!!!!!
dreadnought next year!!!
Hey. Can you guys do an Evil bikes review? Like a Evil wreckoning, offering or a bad ass Insurgent MX? Thanks.
There's bad history there if memory serves - some time ago there was a negative Evil review on Pinkbike and Evil stopped sending bikes I think.
@@alanbonk3542 oh, I see. Well, that sucks. These Evil bikes right now are no joke.
You may want to check out the Insurgent MX review by Freehub. I bought an Al patrol but that review was excellent.
PLEASE THE SONG!
I swear if the next bike is another trek
Why did you never try the Evil Wreckoning ?
Please include the Specialized Status 2022 in your Value Field Test.
Really loving my Status 160, super rad value ripper. Threw a GX drivetrain and a nicer rear wheel on mine and I’m so stoked on it
I'm looking to add a 2nd, burlier bike to go with my V1 RIpmo. This, the Sentinel, and Sprire are on the radar, but I wish Transition's paint was better. It's garbage, chips galore on every one you see.
Raw option.
@@howejohn1 Yep - but only for aluminum.
Chipping? It's a mountain bike.
I’ve had the last four generations of Transitions and the paint on my Spire is holding up way better than previous generations. FWIW
@@DM-hw4cr My 3 year old Ibis still looks great. I like that. :shrug:
I'd be stoked on a mullet they seem plenty capable for a not serious Enduro racer and playful and poppy day to day with enough efficiency for someone who doesn't care to climb fast either... Just never going fast anywhere haha JK.
Can you guys tell Chappy I said hi.
Why would a smaller wheel have less traction when climbing like mentioned at 2:45? If the tire and width is the same, how is a slightly bigger wheel going to have any influence on grip?
Surface area
@@blairburton1234 Not quite as simple as "more surface area" since the tire can flex under your weight. The contact patch ends up being about the same for 27.5 and 29" tires of about the same width and pressure after the tire deforms. (research this for race car tires to find out why wider isn't always way better)
Rollover is arguably better for a 29er vs 27.5, the biggest benefit of a 29er setup, which also helps the suspension not have to work quite as hard to maintain wheel-ground contact.
Someone knows if pikbike pants good?!
we miss Alicia on the reviews
No way he said the patrol isn’t long wheelbase
😂 They 3 of you sitting at the table feel like you need to relax a bit, try and enjoy it a bit more, looks a little like a chore for you lot sometimes.
They'd be filming multiple videos back to back while jammed in next to each other to fit in the shot so I reckon it would feel like a bit of a chore lol.
love to see an Evil Insurgent against this
First🤝
Alicia is so damn hot!❤️
Naw - never a mullet.
2nd!!
You all seem somewhat unenthusiastic about this bike
Buying a mtb is not worth it anymore.
After priceing several mtb I felt like I'm being scammed so I purchased a brand new Honda 450f
Prices get way to out of control for what you get, 100% agree.
Terrible reviews.
