Thanks for these videos! What do you think of the Torque 29 AL 5 as a general purpose bike? I know its geared towards bike parks and downhill, but how does it do for climbing etc. I'm debating between the Spectral 29 AL 6 and the Torque 29 AL 5.
Thank you! It can climb just as much as your legs can. I’ve done 17k ft climbing over 4 days on my Torque in Squamish / North Shore. But if you’re looking for a better all-rounder I would definitely go Spectral. The Torque is not a fun bike on flatter, mellow greens and blues, (XC style terrain). Torque is designed to go straight up and straight back down again. Spectral can do almost everything well with just a tire swap
I would love to see a video about your campsite selection while on a massive road trip like this.
That looks awesome!!!
Telluride is top notch. They don’t have the craziest mtb trails, just some good quality and flowy fun paired with the most epic views
Yo was that a shot fired at the Dutchman’s Den?!? Lol
🤐
@@GlobalTrailGuide 🥹 good video tho 🤷♂️
