- Andrew Cavaye started riding the We Are One Arrival this year, and has been putting it through its paces at the Enduro World Series and the Candian Enduro Series. He gives us the lowdown of what components he's running, how he sets them up, and what his season racing enduro has looked like so far.

Pleasure to show you guys my ride! If anyone has any questions I’d be happy to answer here
I might have missed it, but what tire pressures do you run… and how do they differ between dry and wet conditions?
@@reedmason7574 Yo Reed! They differ slightly between wet and dry. Wet pressures: down to 20-21psi front, usually 24 in the rear with a cushcore. No lower than 23 in the back though. Dry pressures: 22psi in the front, 25-26psi in the back.
@@ADiggerz Thanks for answering my question! It super Intriguing to see how pressures change from even enduro to downhill racing. Thank you again! I look forward to following your journey though EWS!
Would love to hear you expand on your perspectives of the dreadnought vs the wao for daily trail riding in the pnw rather than racing.
@@thicccboyztv Depends on your riding preference! Dreadnought is good in a straight line (and so is the Arrival), but can be a bit of a handful in the tight stuff due to the longer wheelbase and reach that grows as you compress in the suspension. Arrival still absolutely hauls in the rough straights, but is more maneuverable and nimble, a lot easier to handle in the tight stuff and has a snappy response to pedaling which I really like. So the question would be whether you like to really throw the bike around and pump through tracks for maximum speed, enjoy tighter technical trails and like a more pedal friendly platform (Arrival), or a more stable, plow machine that isn't as nimble (DN). My obvious choice is the Arrival!
Sick looking bike! Will be cheering you on future races!
Stunning looking bike and I hope you heal up quickly! What size frame is that and how tall are you?
Shivering here in Melbourne VIC.
Thanks Wayne! It's a Large frame and I am about 182cm tall (6ft)
Great vid and bike check! Thanks for sharing. Question regarding the rear brake line routing under the BB. Did you ever worry about that brake line getting caught on something?
Nope! That is a common place to route the line for many brands, never seen a problem. It's protected from impacts by the chainring.

@@FanatikBikeCo Great to know.. thanks!
@@FanatikBikeCo there are also a lot of brands that the routing that line above the BB.
Do you have any experience with the other travel linkages? There's barely any media and reviews out there on any of em, there's definitely room for more reviews on the whole range. I've heard mostly from the facebook owners group that the Arrival feels more on the end of a sharper- pedal efficient bike rather than an enduro plow. What stood out to me the most is people claimed the stock 170 with the SDU coil feels more poppy and efficient than most other bikes they've owned in that category! Does that line up with your experience?
Honestly the owners praise alone has me considering getting the 170 out of the gate over the 152/130, even though it might be overkill for me, but I am curious how much of a trail rocket the 130 could be
If the 170 is overkill most of the time for you then stick with the 152. Try a coil shock on the 152 and you will never want another bike!
Yes I would definitely agree that the Arrival 170 feels way, way more responsive and snappy, particularly in response to getting on the pedals, than other enduro bikes I’ve ridden, which I love! I also own a 152 and it is just a more pedal friendly (firmer) platform, designed to run at 20% sag in the back as opposed to 30% for the 170. 152 is a super fun and capable descending machine, just a touch more responsive and firmer when pushing and pumping through things. Hope that answers your question! The great thing is if you do get a 170 out of the gate and want something smaller, you can just get a different link and have both.
Ordered the 170 MX 🤘
How do you keep traction on the front wheel.with a super slack head angle?
Tough question because there are so many things you can do to combat this. You can run your shock so it sits higher in the travel and keeps your weight up, adjust pressure and compression. In your fork, run lower rise bars or adjust bar roll. If I have the feeling that my front wheel is being unweighted, I will adjust my shock to make it ride higher through more air pressure, stiffer spring or more low speed compression. But there are many things you can try!
Dream bike!
