  • £10000 Mountain bike vs £275 Budget MTB! I put the 10k Canyon Strive ON electric MTB against a cheap Ammaco bike that cost £275 in the january sale by riding MTB trails, jumps and send tricks! But how long will it last?
    The head to head bike challenge is back and this time Canyon were lovely enough to supply me with a top of the range Canyon Strive ON CFR electric mountain bike that is aimed at the gnarly world of enduro. And in the opposing corner we have the £275 Ammaco mountain bike which is about as cheap as you can go with a bike before its too dangerous to even consider. For today's video we head to Woburn Bike Park in the UK to find some big jumps and technical trails. But how different can these two bikes really be?
    I hope you enjoy the video!

    😱 For 10 000 pounds that bike better have power steering, air conditioning, satellite navigation, a heated seat, Bluetooth connectivity, voice command, park distance control and a pretty decent stereo system! 😂

      When I was looking for a new bike the £2500-£3500 price point seemed to be a nice sweet spot for anyone who does MTB as a proper "Hobby" and they just want a good quality bike, that you can use everyday on the trails and it won't fall apart. To be honest that's still a chunk of change to part with though, especially if you have bills to pay and a family, bike prices are horrendous at the moment. I paid £3000 for my Intense in a sale (It had a £1000 off) and I ride it about 3x a week and it's a dream to ride, but I still stare at it and think "Could've used that cash to put towards my kitchen extension". :-D

Maybe with anther Canyon rider sponsor with you. be sick for both you and Canyon! you both have the same bike and same challenges. Just a idea!!! I was pumped to get that mid week vid!!!

    With Sam's level of expertise in bike shredding, I believe that he can control the way he does certain manoeuvres such as high speed turns and flares, in such a way that he can destroy the back wheel whenever he chooses by putting more stress on the wheel on purpose.

    Given that Sam changes his bike more often than most RUclipsrs change their underwear, and given that the poor person that can only afford the Ammaco will ride it for years, I would say that the typical Ammaco is a better bike than the heavy Canyon thing. Besides, you can't park that Canyon thing outside Aldi whilst you pop in for some pineapple chunks and a Pot Noodle as there is the risk of theft or a runaway shopping trolley might scratch the carbon fibre. The Ammaco has none of these concerns and is a better buy. You can buy 36 of them for the price of the Canyon thing. Assuming theftage every six months of the Ammaco thing, because some local crackhead burglarises the shed on the regular to then spend the rest of her time in jail, you could replace it 35 times and be riding for the best part of two decades, by which time the Canyon thing will be well past its warranty period and therefore not get the over the air firmware upgrades needed to keep the battery from not exploding.
