Great review as usual 💯 I feel like top fuel is the only bike that I would consider to replace my Ripley v4 I'm running my Ripley with RS Sid and Marzocchi bomber air. Bike feels like it's as close to perfection as I could get it. I'll be curious what your thoughts are.
I mean. How does it pedal compared to the old frame. Is it flexier than the old frame. What link setting are you in. What sag are you running. Hows the spring curve feel conpared to the old frame. With all due respect this is pretty much the same video that was done for the last gen top fuel. There are enough differences in the frames to provide talking points. It didnt really tell me anything unique other than maybe the seating position.
Got the last gen, made some modifications, spec'ed to the moon ;D Kinda dont need the new one, but its still a fantastic bike the " old " gen and the new one also :)
I got one, and the way it handles the bottom of the shock stroke is mindblowing for a little bike
Top Fuel with an over-stroked shock, making it 130 rear, and a 140 fork making the head angle 65, would be a SICK trail ripper.
That is basically Fuel Ex gen 5, with slightly updated geo 😉
@@bitumen83 but 5lbs heavier
Sounds like a canyon neuron
Yes, please
Doesn’t need 130mm. Just needs better kinematics.
I don’t think I’ve seen one negative review of this bike so far, seems very promising.
Your trails look AWESOME!!!! 🤩❤️
Love your reviews.
Easy and straightforward. 😎🙌🏼
Sounds like a great bike. Many of your comments would apply to my Tallboy 4 in 440 chainstay mode
Great stuff as usual! If I were to ever buy a full suspension bike (I'm a hardtail loving old dude) this is the category of bike I would buy. 👍
How does it compare to the Epic Evo 8, I believe you road that not too long ago. Great reviews by the way, really enjoy your videos!
Your videos are amazing. I'm considering this with XTR 208/180 4 pistons . What size is this and how tall are you ?
I really liked this bike! 🔥
Great review. I have a Fuel 9.8 and it rides great. Also have the Pikes on it.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a version with a flex pivot to help lower the weight for the xc crowd
TREK says you can run this thing 140/130 as well.
Great Review man.
Great review… Thank you!
Great review as always! What’s the overall weight?
Great review as usual 💯

This bike is sickkkkkk
Hmm why was the last video of the same bike was deleted?
I wasn't even thinking about this bike, but now I want it lol
So its not an xc bike
It’s a BCBR, Downieville race bike.
