HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The RockShox Pike has long been the bench mark that all Trail/Enduro forks are compared to. But now the Pike has been given a face lift and Neil has been riding it to see what has changed.
Thanks to RockShox for the products used in this video. All opinions are the presenter's own.

Nobody ever mentions this but the editors do an awesome job
IFTY yeah, it always amazes me how they get such great quality videos up every day
Agreed!
IFTY yeah, I'd love to see a video featuring the guys who produce these videos...
Lol. I was just scrolling down to mention the exact same thing you wrote.
+1'd. I have been wanting to see the men&women behind the scenes!
I literally just bought the aluminum frame version of this exact bike w a fox kit yesterday and I see it on GMBN. Get out of my head! MIND BLOWN.
RobbSani glossy green on matt black is sick!
Felt like I was in the twilight zone seeing this less than 24 hours after my purchase.
6:07 The sound you make when your about to eat crap haha
I just bought the new pike RCT3 about two weeks ago & so far it has been one hell of a fork. With three stages of adjustment, fine tuning & paired up with a monarch xx rear shock makes this fork & my bike a blast to ride. Their not cheap but I found mine on ebay new for under $700 bucks that came off a showroom floor bike.
I'm 6'5 340 lbs and I ride the rct3 pike on a 3000w ebike. Just took it to my favorite pump track and my god its a big difference from my fox 34s. Way better all around.
Thumbs up for the Trance!
The Trance is shit, I've got one and I'm regretting every minute of it.
james kaye any particular cons you have with it? I'm looking to buy either the trance advanced or a stump jumper fsr
It's the rear shock tune on the Trance, it's totally off and aparrently something that has been happening with the Trance since the 27.5 Trance was released. Look at the Canyon Spectral or YT Jeffsy you will get much better spec on those bikes than you will on a Trance or a Stumpjumper, I only bought mine because it was cheap.
james kaye I've got the trance 1 and I tried a lot of other well known bike on trails and kept going bake to my trance1 it is the dearest trance before you get to carbon frames but I got mine beginning of 2016 and it's got sram XO full mech and chain and it's never missed a beat..always try as many bikes as poss before buying £3500 Is a lot of cash to spend on a bike....hope you find what you want..
I bet you are running the compression on the rear shock in the stiffest setting though. The Trance is a great bike for anyone that lives in an area with smooth trails or rides like a grandad, the rear suspension is tuned to provide comfort over control and ability and that's a major issue for someone that is a fast rider.
I have to say... that GIANT is a beauty...
I own a 2016 Pike fork initially without debonair.
Notably, I got personal records on every Strava segment I run after upgrading my fork with the debonair spring. No replacement of the damper have been done
I love my Pike. Got the RCT3 dual position. Put it on my Stumpjumper.
The content from GMBN has always been great, no disputing that.
It's the quality of the filming and editing that have come on so much over the last year or so.
Good stuff GMBN, keep up the good work.
This "1080p" quality looks like 360p when filming moving rider, picture become blured and unclear. Please fix that if possible.
donmlaaden It's because of RUclips compression.
donmlaaden No you are wrong. It's because they are so damn fast.
donmlaaden you'll notice it a lot on POV videos, that their is a lot of compression from youtube. Also if the moving shots are in low light the image will blur because of the drop in frame rate so only well lit situations will help.
Read comment well and try to understand what someone tried to say before commenting.
It is not up to my internet speed or connection because I am on my PC and internet speed is 50mbps what is more than enough for watching videos in HD. It is that motion blur made by the camera when they film rider riding a bike for example, but when he stops for commenting for example the picture sharpens immediately. Just pause at 5:17 and you will see. Hope I was clear now to you.
donmlaaden Video was perfect for me too.. No blur at all..
I have a 2017 Trance. Best bike I've ever ridden. I really love your new channel art guys :) looks sick
Is that your bike Neil? Or a rental. I just bought that bike brand new! Except my bike came with a fox 150mm travel fork on it.
It's the Giant Trance 2, I have the same bike, not the same suspension set up that came on the bike.Mine came with a FOX Rhythm which is not great. I have a the Rockshox Pike on my Enduro 29er and the fork it super nice and plush and adjustable.Love it.The Giant he's riding with that set up is on point, I'd like to get there some day with mine.Anyone looking to get a Trance get it. it's the best bang for your buck bike on the market, chuck the stock wheelset and your on a great bike.
ynot gymp apart from that it's the advance pro 0 2018
That steadi-cam shot at 5:13 looks really cool! I've never seen a biking video do something like that before.
Hey GMBN,
could you guys do a video on how to find your personal fork setting (pressure, tokens, rebound, compression)?
I ride a pike rct3 and as I am not a pro rider, I´m kind of overwhelmed by all the different ways to setup the fork. It works quite well now but I think it could be even better with a little help from you guys! Cheers, Max
Outstanding informational video, probably the best one you guys have made.
Great to see the new giant running the rockshock my 2016 giant trance 1 Is running a fox 34 Great shock just like what I hear about the rockskock..
love it how he says the old style I've not long bought my old style hubs
Excellent filming, snappy editing, tidy riding. Thumbs up!
Can you do how to take reflectors off the wheels they look awful on my new trail bike
Tom Rogers you should just be able to take them off using a flat head screwdriver
its easy just use a flathead screwdriver on the white plastic cap
Thanks now how do I take the dork disc off
Tom Rogers all you have to do is get a flat head screwdriver loosen them a bit then they can be pulled off easily
Just ride hard and they will fall off and become trail trinket.
product testing just what I was hoping for from GMBN. video was super good too. really in depth and informative and with enough on trail opinions.
Now for some product comparisons and complete bike tests! Good stuff lads!
Thanks Neil great preview I set mine at 100 psi and seem to get nice travel coverage on my Zaskar hard tail. Neil made the Zaskar test bike look fast too so I bought one good bike.
It would be really interesting to see how they record the footage for the videos (this would make a great video!!)
Nice! As I see the quality of videos are increasing! Keep up the good work! (Fatbiker)
I dunno, I have had almost every brand of fork and not a huge fan of this fork. Wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told her a Mattoc fork to replace the Pike on my YT Jeffsy. Surprisingly, my Suntour Auron on my Process 111 is about my favorite!
Nice to see you guys using a Giant bike....... most MTB riders would have one of these as they are the most accessible brand on the market. MOST bicycle shops in OZ are Giant specialists. It makes your videos easier to relate to, and it shows that is more about the fitness and skill of the rider than it is about the brand name. Seriously, how many people could afford to sell out $11000 AUS for a Santa Cruz?
I was used to the computer industry changing their products at a ridiculous pace, but the biking industry is getting worse. I just bought Hope hubs in non-Boost size (haven't even ridden them yet) and now indications are the future is Boost sizing only. At least I should have years of use from my 2016 non-Boost Fox fork. +1 on the editors, btw... great job!!
Boost only? I'm shocked.
KentrYT is that a joke
I scored a Pike Select+ for $150 USD on eBay. Very nice fork.
got to give credit where credit is due and the latest video are looking great! the gimble definitely been put to good use!
That trailing shot with commentary was awesome. Interesting edit. Well done to all the behind the scenes crew at GMBN and GCN
Great video guys really enjoyed watching it, hope neil heals fast after his injuries, mucho respect
Fox man through and through on the suspension side of things. I do love me a Sram drive-chain though.
Seems the pressure table is still at the same position where also the cable ties for the mud guard are. Not the best place to be. Or have they changed the material that it is getting not destroyed by the cable ties?
Finally a giant on the channel 👌🏽
How did you guys film that shot of Neil riding through the woods and talking from the front angle?! It's incredible and seems too clean for a GoPro shot. #askGMBN
You should check out the new model. It’s pretty awesome.
So basically does what a Vorsprung Luftkappe does to the existing model.
jaqkar I have one in my lyrik. They're so good for small bump sensitivity
This was an amazing video! Great editing and great riding from Neil!
Loved this video , you guys should do more of these videos about new stuff. Keep up the good work
Wow! It looks like you have a new cameraman and editor!
The quality became really amazing!
A great review but one thing reviewers never say and it's the answer everyone is actually looking for...... "I think this performs better/on par/worse than a fox 34/36" that's the only real question we have when splashing out bucks on a fork, is it better than the current best.
Excellent review and video. Thanks boys!
love the filming and editing! And informative!
Wicked vid.. Really informative and well edited... Nice riding too! 👍
Great video! Would love to see more product reviews
Isn't it more difficult to climb on a plus bike with all that resistance from the tyres ?
This is how every review should be like ! good one Neil !
Love my trance 🤙
I like how you gave that baby a good thrashing. 👍🏼
It would be really cool to see a behind the scenes video or two
did you get a new bike neil
damn the light
Sweet video
Have to hand it to you Neil, you're a pretty damn stylish rider. Your young Scottish padawan could learn a lot from you.
Next year boost will be replaced with mega-boost (120mm)
Jordan Pearson They will call it Boost+
Everything is better if it has a "+" in the name!
I would be interested in your opinion on those maxxis 2.8 tires. by December I will be purchasing a new mountain bike and I am torn between the Pivot Mach 5.5 which has 2.6 tires and the Pivot Switchblade which has 2.8 plus maxxis tires. The Mach 5.5 has the more travel but the Switchblade has Boost 157 in the rear. I just started mountain biking 6 months ago and love it and my current ride is a Trek X Caliber 9, and I am looking to develop my skills and become a better rider so I want a bike to grow into. Sorry to babble but I could really use your professional opinion. Thanks..Joe
Great riding footage
5:25" the stabilization of the camera is fucking awesome!
Neil looks quite good on this trance!
Nice review! Worth the upgrade from Judys??
finally, some reviews
Nice trail footage using the backward facing camera!
Nice giant Neil, just wondering if this would be a good first dual suspension bike.
Nice in depth review
GMBN you should test out the Sram Eagle XX1 or XO1
Are you sponsored by giant aswell now
And I thought you didn't do product reviews
I think they must have chosen Giant because Giant's new 27.5+ bike comes with the versatility to use it as 29er too, which means they can test the fork on various sizes.
Hey IFTY, you're right we don't do reviews but we do love to get the chance to have a first ride of cool new products and tell you folks about them.
Global Mountain Bike Network laat year you did interviews about cross country bikers marco fontana, julien absalon, nino shurter about there bikes. can you do this year also reviews about the bikes please.
Aye. Are you guys going to do a review on the new fox forks and shocks with the black coating?
Huge increase in video quality, moving cameras, great slow mo, superb. What changed? New gear, new staff?
great video 👍
Have you guys ridden the Boxxer Worldcup with similar technology/
Liking the followcam!
Hello, whats is the differences in Lyric RCT3 vs Lyric MY17 RCT3?
What is the particularly the MY17 line?
Nice video. But how does the new Pike feel compared to the old Pike?
Where are those trails ? They look mint.
Great review!
Hey comment section. Thoughts on the trek remedy 8? Looking to get that bike for a all around trail enduro bike. What do you guys think of it?
looks neat but for that price I'd go for a 160mm Enduro like the Canyon Strive f.e Radon is fine too.. They have a great value for their prices.. Wouldnt pay 3 grand for a 2017 Remedy 8 if there are cheaper Bikes with better/equal components I'm driving the 2016 Strive myself and I absolutely love it.. Great for uphill and even better getting down your local trails or whatever :) Hope this helps you. cheers mate
Mortak well put!! You really have me thinking and I think your right spending upwards up 3 grand for a okay bike is outrageous. If I can get a 160mm trail bike that still climbs but still be able to take it to my bike park...I'm all about that!!
I appreciate your help and your feed back and will check out that canyon
Keep rippin
Cheers
Hope you will find the Bike you are looking for :) I'm driving the Strive AL 6.0 from 2016 for over half a year now and 2 of my mates bought it too^^ It was a hard decision between the Strive and some other bikes but I'm glad I chose the strive. Paid 2200€ for it but the 2017 Bikes seem to be a bit more expensive
is that also the new rockshox reverb controller on this new bike?
Like that Trance
Can you remove the steerer tubes from forks and switch them??
Are there any forks or shocks suitable for heavy riders. I'm 130kg and from the research I've done to date most forks/shocks max out at 110kg (rider+bike)
Same situation with wheels which max out at 120kg (rider+bike).
That's funny I just did a review on this bike last week the giant Trance 2!!! Wish I had that new pike fork on it though!!! I'm wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to the new rocks shox pike fork has anyone tried it themselves ye in comparison to the now old model?
I have a XC32 fork on my HT. That fork is definition of shit. Feels almost like I'm riding a fully rigid bike :D
fiddle with rebound adjuster ... xc30 coil here ... no complain for the price tho
Maybe try decreasing the air pressure and setting your sag appropriately before bashing it like that :)
Maybe try swapping it out for a suspension corrected rigid fork from Surly or Salsa. It weighs less, and with hi volume tubeless tires, probably feels about the same descending.
Is this a 2018 model Pike?
lol why am i watching this... i cant even afford a entry level bike tool kit
Are you Finnish?
You should do a video on a bamboo mountain bike
What size stem are you using on the giant trance
Hey Neil, where are these trails located? It looks awesome and flowy!
is that the giant trance advanced or the giant reign?
what are your thoughts on the new pinion gear system
is it good to run a 160mm fork on a 2017 giant trance? Thank you GMBN
Sponsored by giant too? Or the only bike you could find with new pike?
#AskGMBN Are ye thinking of ever riding in bike park ireland??👊
@ gmbn what bike is Neil riding in this video
Giant trance
looks nice
why the giant? looks awesome, new sponsor?
Rockshox provided the bike and fork for Neil to have a first ride on :)
I have one coming in for $600 cdn after tax... Seemed like a great deal
oh man the cassette tool ftw
how do you compare pike with fox 34 or 36
