You are going to love the ride. Be it an e-bike or an MTB full suspension is the way to go, no more banging the hell out of your bones if you are on the street. We all get older and sometimes we have to give in to whats good for our bodies. Front and back breaks you will be stopping on a dime. I love my lightweight MTB almost better than my very fast e-bike. You can always lock out the rear shock if you want a harder ride.
No hate on plastic pedals! They are the lightest! I made the switch from aluminium to plastic not so long ago. I haven't bought a complete bike yet. Just switchting out broken parts as I ride my 10 year old hardtail. I did some upgrades like a better fork and better wheelset. But nothing that comes close to that pricepoint. I have to chain my bike once in a while and I would freak out for it get stolen if it would cost 10 grand haha. My favorite expensive bike brand is Liteville btw. Not sure if it is known in the US.
I’ll be dropping a pretty penny on a full suspension setup this winter. Went from BMX to a long gap of no bikes and for into MTB, bought a hard tail and upgraded everything and now it’s time to step it up further.
aye congrats john that mean we about to go hit up some trails? lol i switch to mtb like 8 months ago havent looked back got tired of riding on the concreate be ready to slam a bunch lol trails/downhill is a whole different world cant wait to see what you bring to the channel on this beauty. ride on be safe out there mane.
I’ve got an orbea rallon ltd 2019 and then proceeded to swap everything apart from the rear shock, I have lost count at the total probably best I block it from memory 😂 get your sag set and your be shredding! Enjoy and welcome to the enduro addiction 🇬🇧🤘
Ready to shreddy son... YT is dope... I have a Scott Voltage freeride I picked up for $4gs Canadian thanks to the young kid that got his girl pregnant. I also use my full squish for mostly urban riding.
Congratulations man! Looking forward to seeing where you go with this one, both riding and modifying. Find it curious you chose a rather off-brand and not an e-version like an S-Works or something. As far as the color? Take your savings on purchase and have it custom powder-coated or lacquered or whatever... Just a thought. Enjoy and cheers!
ive been riding since 6 years old. When i was in middle school i convinced my parents to get me a haro bmx. in high school i saved up enough to get a FIT. thats the last bike ive bought and i spent like 600. i still ride a little but i kinda miss the old days where me and all of my friends would ride
Badass bike man. I spent 5k on my current mountain bike and another 1k in gear . Some hobbies are expensive but you got to pay to play. Enjoy that bike. No need to upgrade anything on yours. Congrats
Agreed! And something else to keep in mind are helmets, people should upgrade to nta helmets like xnito or bern hudson, cpsc helmets don't really protect you
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn bro, that thing slapss i love mountain bikes so always been a fan of your dj videos.. but mans got a full squish outta no where, keen for some vids of that thing. can you do a full walk around once its dialed with some nicer pedals lol
Bro im the same age and im riding a cult 20.5 frame top of the line, i have bad back issues and i still ride every day.. even if im in bad pain.. lol so please keep the bmx around please?:) besides that love that new downhill bike!! I spent 2800 on my cult. Like all custom and i always have ppl staring at it like they wanna steal it lol tbh hard to even bring it out.. but bmx is my life and everything:) stay safe and enjoy that new build❤
That bike is loaded. I prolly would have gotten a trail bike like 140 upfront, but I guess if was gunna spend 10 k I'd want it to handle Canada to France 😆
I was stoked for you until you mentioned your 90% rule. You need to get this on trails to feel the true capabilities. It will not perform on the pavement at all. Its home is on gnarly trails. Gimme a let know if you need trail options. Surprisingly there are good(but very dry)trails here in Socal. Great bike tho, man. Cheers eh
You bought it with the Flight Attendant system WOW! that shit is expensive. You need a bike stand to hold your bikes in the air when you working on them especially this bike. Your gonna need a Bike Computer WAHOO ELEMENT the best thank me later for the tip and my bike got the Garmin Radar that will be like eyes in the back of your head to show you if cars are coming up behind you on the screen and tire pressure sensors, RPM Sensor and buy a Heart Rate Monitor cause you getting old. All that tech will sync with the Wahoo Element and will come in handy when you ride. Congrats man dope bike. Welcome to the big leagues the MTB world. P.S. I spent like 5 grand on my MTB I built it myself.
I bought the 2020 SPECIALIZED EPIC EXPERT CARBON FIBER HARD TAIL bike and added a dropper post to it. Spent 5k on it. Ride it everyday in Los Angeles and all over Southern CA. You got a great bike. Enjoy it!
Looking forward to the Uncaged 12 w/ Flight attendant! Sucks i paid for it & have to wait 3 & 1/2 months to get it! Thats the 1 negative about YT, no complaints otherwise!
That. Bike. Is. Sick! My phone cost $2K and my laptop cost $3500. Thta's CAD too so like $48 USD? That's my expensive hobby. 🤣 Unfortunately I haven't hit the $10K on hobby kind of loot yet. I'm tryin... sorta.
I also got this model - about a month ago. Pro tip: take apart the linkage (including the rear dropout pivots) and headset and grease up. I was getting creaking while stepping on the crank at standstill, and while pedaling under torque, and hearing popping from the headset/steerer tube with heavy front braking. Grease cleared it all up. Whatever factory these are coming from is not greasing at all 😢 Requisite locktite is there, but I’d rather grease up and check torque regularly than listen to my brand new $10k bike creaking.
They seem nice, only issue i find with myself is trying to park it outside/lock it up safely... Most I'd spend on a bike is 1000.. I'd be too worry about it getting stolen, or perhaps the parts would be even more expensive to replace or other maintenance things. nice for like trail rides and what not, normal biking.
Beautiful bike and set up good sir I'm a solo mtb rider too and when I don't feel like spending half a day on single-track by myself, I'll head down to the Jeff Seymour Fam Center Park in El Monte. Can find other friendly riders there and their dirt pump/jump tracks are fun to get reps on! Hope to see you there sometime!
John Hicks never disappoints 🔥🔥💯💯
he should of pinned your comment but I am still watch his ish lol

That bike is loaded. I prolly would have gotten a trail bike like 140 upfront, but I guess if was gunna spend 10 k I'd want it to handle Canada to France 😆
trust me, once u hit the trails and jump lines , this might be your new addiction
Bro can you do a video of your collection? Thanks 💯
This will be the beginning of a new addiction.
John - do you own a road bike? Road cycling is so much fun dude.
I was stoked for you until you mentioned your 90% rule. You need to get this on trails to feel the true capabilities. It will not perform on the pavement at all. Its home is on gnarly trails. Gimme a let know if you need trail options. Surprisingly there are good(but very dry)trails here in Socal. Great bike tho, man. Cheers eh
I actually like the bike reviews.
Wow 'electric wireless brakes'!?! That would be very cool!
Bike is sick; you should get your CF frame wrapped!
You bought it with the Flight Attendant system WOW! that shit is expensive. You need a bike stand to hold your bikes in the air when you working on them especially this bike. Your gonna need a Bike Computer WAHOO ELEMENT the best thank me later for the tip and my bike got the Garmin Radar that will be like eyes in the back of your head to show you if cars are coming up behind you on the screen and tire pressure sensors, RPM Sensor and buy a Heart Rate Monitor cause you getting old.

Street riding only! Nah, come out to Altadena I’ll show you some proper trail riding for your new sick whip.
Sick bike man, don’t forget to properly bed those brakes this time
Looking forward to the Uncaged 12 w/ Flight attendant! Sucks i paid for it & have to wait 3 & 1/2 months to get it! Thats the 1 negative about YT, no complaints otherwise!
Yooooo finally brooooo
not sure if your bike comes with cushcores, but definitely buy one!
$10,000!! Wow! That’s a new dirt bike!
13:58 Oh it’s a big boy…. Here she is
🤣. Crazy bike man my mate has a fully carbon fibre enduro and it’s very light looks about as light as that one
Sweet. Congratulations on the new bike. I can’t wait for some videos. I hope you take it to some trails that it was meant for. Thanks for the video.
That. Bike. Is. Sick!
My phone cost $2K and my laptop cost $3500. Thta's CAD too so like $48 USD? That's my expensive hobby. 🤣
Unfortunately I haven't hit the $10K on hobby kind of loot yet. I'm tryin... sorta.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 💪 💪 💪 💪
Can you put a link for where I can get it? Please
Enjoy that bike man and happy safe trails.
Best MTB bike brand, congrats!!
Thats a dream bike for some people or most
Crazy bike
come to sf and theres urban downhill and i can show you trails
I got a old school felt with similar brakes be careful they are guillitines if we didn’t have fingernails I would have lost fingertip
I also got this model - about a month ago. Pro tip: take apart the linkage (including the rear dropout pivots) and headset and grease up. I was getting creaking while stepping on the crank at standstill, and while pedaling under torque, and hearing popping from the headset/steerer tube with heavy front braking. Grease cleared it all up. Whatever factory these are coming from is not greasing at all 😢 Requisite locktite is there, but I’d rather grease up and check torque regularly than listen to my brand new $10k bike creaking.
Great choice. I’m a mountain biker so it makes me happy seeing this purchase.
Amazing looking bike, even though I’m a Trek man myself.
HIXFAM!
how does the flight attendant shock fork and cranks feel?
I wish I could afford a bike like that
They seem nice, only issue i find with myself is trying to park it outside/lock it up safely... Most I'd spend on a bike is 1000.. I'd be too worry about it getting stolen, or perhaps the parts would be even more expensive to replace or other maintenance things. nice for like trail rides and what not, normal biking.
MTB videos coming?! Would love to do a collab video whenever I come back to cali to ride if you’re down
Story time Walt Disney your back lol I heard that many times
I’m based in Ventura county just north of LA if you wanna hit up some trials
Nice ride bro can't believe those pedals
$3,400 on my YT JEFFSY full-suspension MTB. I love it.
I have a 29 inch mountain bike that cost me about 3300 U S and I really like it.
Dope ride! I've spent 5k on my ti flatland bike that's the most I've spent so far on a bike.
Beautiful bike and set up good sir I'm a solo mtb rider too and when I don't feel like spending half a day on single-track by myself, I'll head down to the Jeff Seymour Fam Center Park in El Monte. Can find other friendly riders there and their dirt pump/jump tracks are fun to get reps on! Hope to see you there sometime!
Cool videos and like how you do your vid's
That’s a clean bike bro💪🏽, you thought about setting it up tubeless?
For 10k it came with those pedals?
What happened with this bike I don’t see anymore videos of it on it
Are the bars carbon too?
that ending was good - I couldnt see shit!
Finally!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Looks so dope! I'm trying to sell my 29'er hardtail to get a big ripper...
Nice! I am thinking of getting a full suspension and will probably splurge on a carbon frame also.
i swear he has gotton like 10 bike in 8 days
I watch every video bro
