The thing that breaks me up is brakes that break 'cuz my brakes broke and I'm too broke to break down and buy new brakes. 😏 So I'm about 5 minutes into this and enjoying it, nice production quality, I just wish I could hear your voice out of both channels instead of only the left one, but I'm enjoying it and hope you mention the strengths of the 429 over the Ripley and vice versa. Thanks mate & G'dai
One of the lowest spec’s 429’s I have seen. You should ride a well spec’s enduro and you will find just how good this bike is for a short travel trail bike. Fun riding - nice video.
Curious what the real difference is on the brakes. I doubt it is SLX. I've never heard of much difference in power in the whole Shimano MTB line other than between 2 piston/4 piston or rotor size. I run 4 piston Deore on on my Ripmo AF and don't want for power. My guess is they were contaminated. Good luck in your search.
Same here. I’ve run SLX on my Kona process for years and they’ve been solid with no issues. Bummed that the demo experience was hampered with the poor brakes!

Those bikes are lively as hell, sounds like shock may have been low on pressure/needed more rebound.

Nice video on the Trail 429, though unfortunately for the price I was surprised it comes with a press fit BB.
Everyone gets their butt hurt about press fit BB. Yeti uses press fit and we know how cheap/bad reputation Yeti has.

Yea could just be the demo bike I rode needed a brake job
