Bro science aside, Dario made that climb look like a fire road. Talk about consistency. Absolute monster, didn't seem to lose only breath even after the last bike, and only dabbed in an off camber section with loose dirt. Not on the rocks/roots. Well held, Dar!
I REALLY like this kind of testing. You guys, the bikes and “real world” sciency stuff for normal guys/girls with just enough knob tweaking knowledge to make us dangerous. Good stuff guys. Stay with this kind of testing. The old stuff was way too sterile/boring.
From owning 2 Rocky’s now, I have found for my liking I tend to go down volume spacers in the rear and go up a little more air pressure and it balances the bike out more for me. It reduces the harsh bottom out, and gives a little more mid stroke support without being too soft.
So Henry mentioned that all the bikes were set @30% sag with adjustments in the middle... wouldn't it make more sense to test with the manufacturer recommend settings for your air pressure instead? Probably gives them a better chance of performing as intended, or at least gets the performance closer to a consumers first ride. Might be my only thought as far as potential changes goes.
@@ervin7178 They typically recommend a sag range, not necessarily a single percentage, but either the suspension brand or the bike manufacturer will always provide recommendations for rebound and compression settings based on the air pressure needed to get to your target sag.
I think this has to be the most useless test you’ve all done yet. Yeah if you ride a trail 8 times in a row their is a good chance you’re going to get faster

I like the new format for these reviews with these four lads!!
Nicely done PB!

It's a great way to watch a bike test. Clearly, they all work!
This field test is great! First bit of content I have enjoyed since Levy left. Keep it up!
Thumbs up on this format. Well done!
Very well done. You guys rock.ALL OF YOU!!

I would do a different rating. I would push each bike up the climb - rating their "pushability"
no bro
should have given him the reverse mohawk
Felt like I was hanging out with you guys with this raw style video. Loved it!
Pretty surprised with how poorly the Ripmo performed given the rave reviews elsewhere. Definitely nice to have different perspectives
Right! I’ve been eyeing the Ripmo but this review really has me second guessing.
Damn, Henry called me out at the end there 🙃
If thats the case, "OH, SHIT!" definitely counts on the decible meter!😂😂😂
Most riders aren’t on the clock, comfort and confidence are key in a trail bike.
Dario "...threetwonego!" Next round, Henry, "Dario can you give us your nicest normal speed countdown..." Hahaha
Keep it up. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 loved the tests. 😎
Not scientific but most relatable. Love this style of content!
nice series ! :)
Levy would be proud
really cool video!
These tests are fine but it’s just one riders opinion. But fair enough.
if he's yelling oh my god while riding won't that affect the sound test?
I have an alloy Patrol and it makes the same pinging sound at 32:18. anyone know how to quiet that down?
surpised that the ripmo is so low
is this mt seymour or the north shore?
nice video❤
Did they all have the same drive trains?
👏🙂👍
Ripmo, more like ripless

Most manufacturers recommend a sag number.

Mmmm, the test was good but the haircut, stick to your day job Henry....
