Unfair comparison. You should switch riders and see how they perform. I bet Trail Blake on enduro bike would destroy Enduro Blake on trail bike. Great video btw.
O.o? Did you really not notice? All 3 dudes in this video are exactly same dude! ROFL. It's called trick video editing and blue screening. See when the two blakes are standing side-by-side. He really has done 1 video of the first bike, Then later switched clothes and bike later in time, and record in same exactly scene area but inches away. Then with video editing, He can 'clone' both videos together to make it seem like Video 1 and video 2 are in 1 video and responding to eachother. But really aren't.
If doing pure down hill get a stronger bike because your gonna need it anyway a trail bike is all 3 made lighter to suit all spectrums you can do downhill on a trail bike but the suspect might bottom out on a trail bike on big bomb jumps
@@jxtproductions2584 Not sure, each Blake seemed to be pretty consistent in their own personality... I hope he doesn't think they're all the same or something
Funny thing is there isn’t that much of a difference. Trail bikes and enduro bikes are more similar than any other types of bike. Blake on either (any) bike will kick my ass on either (any) bike on any terrain.
@@connormcguire8439 Yea except I bet geo isn't really that different between the two bikes. I'd guess (so probably wrong) about a degree or two difference in head angle, with a similar seat tube angle BB height reach, and chain stays. I bet if I were to ride both bikes I could feel a difference considering both geo and suspension, but my times on most terrain wouldn't be that different. Who knows though @Global Mountain Bike Network, get it touch so we can figure this out!
To me, both of those travel bikes ride totally different. The 150 is much more lively and nimble and the 170 is more of a monster truck that plows. Both have strengths and weaknesses but are both awesome.
These Blake vs Blake videos are absolutely brilliant, and are not only educational but super humorous! The addition of Blake to the already top crew at GMBN was/is genius. The guy cracks me up; wish I knew him personally and could share a pint with him regularly. No need to watch mountain bike videos by others...GMBN, baby!
The best personality in MTB must be Blake hands down. There is nothing better than hearing "Welcome back you beautiful people!" everytime you open a GMBN vid.
Kinda reassured me i was in the right trail, track. On the right track. Keep it up guys. Im always looking forward to your videos. Very informative and smacked with humour.
I thought I wanted an Enduro bike until watching this Video. Thanks for coming up with it. For what I ride 90% of the time a Trail bike would be better.
As I sit here editing i now realize how hard you guys work on your editing. Thats like a day of recording and a day edit 😳 brilliant and entertaining 😁👍🏽
Thank you! Great video on how fork/bike selection translates to the ride experience across different terrain, especially park riding high speed jumps one after the other. Match the bike to the task. Simple ... and expensive because one may need multiple bikes.
I just installed a rockshox 35 gold rl 160mm travel on my trek roscoe, I chose this fork as my best option being a bigger rider, so far I'm no longer bottoming out every 5 seconds like I was on the stock 130mm fork, it has also affected the slack just enough to make it handle better on my local trails and feel more stable on jumps
Mate adding 40mm of travel onto a bike is not a good idea, the bike was designed for the travel it’s got and will mess up the geometry and is much more likely to snap if the frame
@@cohenpeters7200 I went from a 130 to 160 and it's awesome, it completely brought my bike to life. This only slackened it up a couple degrees, about as much as if I would've put a slackerizer headset on it. If the frame snaps then I'll buy a new one. No worries. Keep shredding 🤙
It’s a great take on the ride differences that you can feel on bigger vs smaller travel bikes. I did a ride on a Nomad version 3 and it needed to be at Mach 3 hitting big stuff before it felt like it was coming alive. If you don’t have that terrain on your door step it can feel like the bike does it all as you are a passenger.
I went from a giant talon 2 100mm travel to a pivot firebird 170mm travel on a demo day. It's crazy how much all that extra travel can give more confidence.
120mm on a 29er is pretty capable with a good rim/tire combo. I am riding with a few spacers, 3/4 of 5. Front tire is in dh casing, helps a lot. If youre good with such a bike, you will be killing it on a 160-180mm one
Awesome production! I usually enjoy watching the POV, but this is the future! Great guy, great camera action, great editing, great story. I don't usually give props, but that's an amazing crew. Nice job! Have fun!
I ride my 130mm 5010 quicker down all the trails I was riding 5-10 years ago on my 200mm dh bike with ease 🤷🏼♂️, rider skill and strength go a long way to putting a bike down a trail
Very good and entertaining video, with a lot of editing work to do. The problem with this is, that the whole bike makes the difference, especially weight and geo. I assume both forks in the same frame and the setup for the longer travel fork a little bit firmer and they would handle nearly identical.
Trail Blake should have used a trail bike! 130/140max travel, not a soft enduro vs. Hard-core enduro.... so didn't really like the video, as I think the bikes are too similar....
I have a 160 all round capra, anything more than 130 aint xc but my local trails are steep and technical which dictated my choice and i love it any new full sus bike nowadays is wicked
Haha, he kept calling 150mm short travel. I know it was the shorter of the two, but that's pretty silly sounding when I'm riding a truly short travel full sus with 80mm front and back
I'm riding a 1996 Litespeed OBED F/S. It's a really early Horst link full sus design, with a titanium front triangle and aluminum rear triangle. The rear suspension triangle was built by AMP Research, and is the same as the old AMP B2. The frame is the only original hardware, I've replaced every other component, including the shock. Still 80mm travel front and back though. The modern fork is already longer than the old one in terms of crown to axle, so I was worried that adding any more travel would change the geometry too much. I love riding this old beast, and I've taken it down some steep, tech trails with drops up to like 2 or 3 feet. It's also set up for bikepacking. You can have a lot of fun on old bikes. That said, I demoed some new ones recently, and the technology has come a long way in 20 years. I feel like I don't want to push my old warhorse any harder, so I think it is time for a new bike that I can really get rowdy on. I'm feeling really drawn to the new kinds of hardcore hardtails, like the ragley blue pig. Something with a 140ish fork, long-low-slack geometry, and probably 27.5+/29er options. I can tell that the geometry out my current bike was really just a minor change from road bike geometry. It's from the truly early days of MTB design. How about you Kelvin, what's your steed?
We all know it’s a “relative”term. Kinda like when an NBA has its “short” lineup out on a court, and the players range from 6-3 to 6-7; short, ha! More substantive here is the difference between enduro and trail bikes for different conditions and what causes the differences. GMBN rocks!
Years ago before mountain bikes we used to ride down hill on no suspension but the bounce made it very hard to hold but with front suspension you can take out the bumps giving you much safer and more control, only need more speed for comps
Me too. I find I can ride pretty much anything I want on a hardtail. Granted its gonna be slower over the big stuff but its still fun, just in a different way.
Loving all your videos guys, as a novice mtb rider(age53) I am learning lots from them. Here' a suggestion for a feature, could you do a dictionary of mtb terms and their definitions? It may be helpful and interesting especially for beginners like me. Keep up the great work and thanks. Andy.
I just switched from a 150mm Fox 34 Performance to a 150mm Fox 36 Factory and can feel the difference on the downs while the ups remain unaffected with the weight difference being unnoticeable. To me the 34 is trail and the 36 enduro, it's not all about travel.
Brilliant video as always...but you have to keep in mind, that the Mega has 165mm travel in the back, whereas the spectral only has 140mm. In my opinion this makes more of a difference than the 20mm in the front. Addintionally the Mega is heavier, so a bit mor forgiving in every part. In the end the differences should be very subtle on the shown tracks and terrains. Without the direct comparison you would be happy with both bikes....
Hi GMBN .. i'll go with Trail Blake .. my fork does what i expect from it .. So i'm a happy camper ... Good video .. I enjoyed it .. Thank's ;-) Cheers !!! See Ya !!!
Nice!!! Blake this was an awesome vid. You had me entranced and laughing all throughout. I got the message loud and clear and fun in doing so, cheers bro!
Actually you don't want to lock your fork on a technical climb or it will get harder and the front might lift up . On long smooth terrain I guess it could help...
This is not a good compare. You had to compare a lyrik vs revelation. A 150mm.pike is almost an enduro fork, or it was until they recovered the lyrik. Both are 35 mm stanchions. You have to compare a 32mm 120-140 fork with the lyrik. But I love they way you do you videos Blake.😃
Federico Testa i jumped from a 130mm revelation to a 140 mm pike tuned to 150mm and MRP ramp up dial, and the difference is as you said noghr and day. If you compare it with a factory 170 lyrik the difference is huge.
Nice one! for me was all about comfort and confidence, is a mental state that flows on to you, i see people in XC or CX bikes going hard downhill making jumps and tricks, a good 'rider' don't blame the tool for lack of skills or not enjoy the trails. forks are just the tip of a debate, if is a tech debate in the table.
Call me crazy but.... a 150/170 Pike and Lyrik are both high end enduro forks? Yari/Revelation and Reba are more trail forks between 120 and 140. Weird comparison.
Would be cool to compare bikes like these back-to-back in the same areas. Really see what's best for your type of riding before throwing down the kizzash.....

No need to watch mountain bike videos by others...GMBN, baby!
The industry has gone crazy. Now a 130mm ful sus, with trail geometry from 2018 is considered a xc bike by some people.
Not really, I'd definitely put that into the trail bike category
The main reason is that xc races are becoming more technical in the descend
Depends on the geometry so for example a transition scout, it has 130mm of travel but isn't classed as an xc bike
@@benasquith26 the scout has 150mm up front though
For some people everything without a double crown is a XC Bike 😅
The best personality in MTB must be Blake hands down. There is nothing better than hearing "Welcome back you beautiful people!" everytime you open a GMBN vid.
I swear you are reading my mind with these videos
Is 150mm short travel? I'd have said 120mm is short travel.
Try 60mm travel like my hybrid bike or 100mm like my xc bike.
@@bobbyhempel1513 I rode an 100mm for almost a year. 👍
150mm is long travel in my opinion
150 is short travel.

I'd say 150mm is on the higher end.
I feel like 160 is the really happy medium! If your unsure of how much travel you need, less is probably more!

Don´t These Bikes Have Suspension Lock?
Climbs Would Be Piece Of Cake With Clips And Hardtail.
They are heavy forks. Even lockout is not 100% locked out.
Actually you don't want to lock your fork on a technical climb or it will get harder and the front might lift up . On long smooth terrain I guess it could help...
Elliott-MTB you don’t have to lock them out, most forks have a mid/trail mode

This is not a good compare. You had to compare a lyrik vs revelation. A 150mm.pike is almost an enduro fork, or it was until they recovered the lyrik. Both are 35 mm stanchions. You have to compare a 32mm 120-140 fork with the lyrik. But I love they way you do you videos Blake.😃
I agree, i had a Revelation on my old genius and I replaced it with a marzocchi 55. It's really like night and day.
Federico Testa i jumped from a 130mm revelation to a 140 mm pike tuned to 150mm and MRP ramp up dial, and the difference is as you said noghr and day. If you compare it with a factory 170 lyrik the difference is huge.
Nice one! for me was all about comfort and confidence, is a mental state that flows on to you, i see people in XC or CX bikes going hard downhill making jumps and tricks, a good 'rider' don't blame the tool for lack of skills or not enjoy the trails. forks are just the tip of a debate, if is a tech debate in the table.
Call me crazy but.... a 150/170 Pike and Lyrik are both high end enduro forks? Yari/Revelation and Reba are more trail forks between 120 and 140. Weird comparison.
What's better than Blake vs Blake? Blake vs Blake with Blake plus hands on experience of the different forks. Cool vid.
Um... I am afraid to say that i can't relate with this video. My rockshock pike is lengthened to 160mm or travel.
The new iteration of the Pike is still available in 120-160mm in 10mm increments :)
Would be cool to compare bikes like these back-to-back in the same areas. Really see what's best for your type of riding before throwing down the kizzash.....
