Now this is a proper bike check. Real insight into the geometry and set-up in a way that meaningfully links back to the way the rider wants their bike to feel. So many pro bike checks are basically "Allow me list you my sponsors' parts..."
Seems like a lot of people feel that. Idk what it is but something about cube just doesn't grab my attention, like they seem very plain. Propain bikes on the other hand just look so damn good.
Gotta admit, those propain bikes sure look sweet. Love all the dtc brands these days. Man this is what a bike check should be like. Remy knows his shit clearly.
@@rolux4853 direct to consumer brands, like canyon, commencal, yt, vitus, etc. Cut out the middle man and the consumer gets better prices while the the manufacturer makes more. Works great if you're handy and good with mechanics otherwise a bike shop can be nice for issues. Personally I ride vitus.
@@dylan-5287 ah thanks man! I do know direct to consumer brands, but I didn’t know the abbreviation. Personally I ride a Nukeproof Mega and I really don’t know where to put them. They aren’t a standard bike shop brand, but neither are they a straight direct to consumer brand. Maybe one could consider them the house brand of chain reaction cycles. Since I bought only the frame from Nukeproof, the bike is custom build by myself, so I gladly don’t have to rely on mechanics. Just last year I finally learned how to fully disassemble, service and repair shocks and forks myself, which was the last big think I didn’t trust myself enough to do it. I guess what I want to say, is that buying dtc should be a pretty good fit for me, if I ever go for a „full bike“ again. The last fully assembled bike I bought in my life was in fact a dtc, it was a YT Noton 2010. (man time is really flying..) After that I build every bike myself, from the frame up.
@@rolux4853 fuck yeah man, nukeproof is full direct to consumer. Excellent brand, I'm wearing a hat from them right now haha. Definitely quality for an awesome price.
Rémy is a good presenter but Christina is an equally good interviewer. They covered so much in this bike check I don't think anything was left out. Thank you!
Thanks all the way around. Christina, Remi, Pinkbike. Very good video and edit. Sorry about the cold toes lol! I was watching your feet getting colder that the whole time and feeling for ya both! Working in the snow in Tahoe now too haha!! Stay stoked!!🤙🏻😁
After hearing remy talking about how dialed your bike can get I feel some pressure to do it myself haha. Like, tire pressure, shock pressure, fork pressure, spacers, rise in bars, back sweep, compression, rebound and how all that affects and composes with the bikes geometry. ahhhhh
I would be very interested in a detailed mullet experiment (including geo impact) on your Slash as I believe the mino link makes it a good candidate for that!
Cam Zink did a pretty good mullet "test"/review video, that was pretty convincing. I've been feeling pretty 'experimental' over the last few years when it comes to bikes/gear. I'd like to try that kind of a setup, but not sure how easy it's going to be to track down a single 650B rear wheel that'll work in the back of my Firebird, and especially, one that's cost effective.
I actually got to try a way lower spec propain tyee al not that long ago. and the geometry of that bike makes it harsh with an air shock. all i could think of when trying it out was how amazing this thing would work with a coil
Did I hear him say that he put a longer fork on AND changed the rear to a 27.5 and the geometry is still okay? Not conventional wisdom, but then again Remy isn't a conventional rider.
He just put a 27,5 rear wheel in the 29er and a longer fork- one guy at the Pinkbike Review did the same and said thats the way he Liked it the most: Long chanstays, slack and lower BB
Valve cups .... i would never use water bottle on the frame , only in backpack ... and i would never use so much spacers under the stem , rather i would use a higher rise handlebar... or maybe i would use a hydraulic rotor for the rear brake , the front brake pipe would pass in the top of the stem , no star nut , instead a head lock , a long screw down in the fork neck and remote controls for dropper and the derailleur , and voila , infinite bar spin on a trail bike , who have such a bike ?
Thanks for the time making this video Pinkbike. I still can't feel my toes though!
Remy, you are even more geeky that us on this side of the screen (and 3 Times faster :-)
Take care!
I noticed you were wearing Vans and started wondering if your feet were frozen...
man you gotta stop the zzzee bike zzzee equipment zeee zzz it's unbearable
@@bossdude911 They are winter Vans,,,
Cool vans tho

Yeah this guy is no joke, he'd be very valuable to any company as a designer/engineer once his world-class riding days are done
Although Cube bikes are nice, I prefer the sleek design of the Propain, good move on your part Rémy 🤙

@@dylan-5287 yo check out the Radon Swoops, it's a german Brand and they Look good too
Who cares how they look. I want one that works well. Stay pinned m8

Forgive me my ignorance, but what are dtc brands?

I never understood how he does it, he is so gnarly🤘
Really like all the bike checks - everyday rider and pros - especially like hearing about the "why" for the different components
.

buah, Rémy at Rampage! Something to look forward!!!
Been there 4 times, but really would like a 5th, 6th, and 7th time!
Remy is so knowledgeable about bike set up and everything else involved in riding the bike!
Great bike, great rider, awesome video! Christina always kills it🤘
Merci Christina pour les bonnes questions et Rémy pour sa sincérité

NGL remy needs a video on how to scrub
many compliments to Remy and Pinkbike for this very interesting issue about his mullet bike

Love the channels from the escalation squad, Remy and Yoann. They are really very kind people.
Awesome. I built a 2021 Tyee a few months ago for me
I like that she didn’t try to make this a puff piece and asked direct questions.
One of the nicest looking bikes on the market.
I have the same brakes and OMG are they sick! Awesome vid as well :)
I built my Capra 29 as a mullet and used the same process as Remy. It would be nice if more manufacturers would build purpose built mullets.
Mullet rules, loving my Status 160
The Propain Ekano reach on a XL is 475mm. I hope they make a XXXL with a 505-510 reach.
I reeeeaaaallly like the looks of these propain bikes. So sleek

Just put a Jade x on my bike and It’s great 👌🏼
@14:14 Everyone in my family is sleeping and I'm laughing my ass out 🤣🤣🤣
Great interview and bike review
Count how many times this guy smiles..
propain makes some nice bikes
Would Love to see Remy at rampage, but it's a freestyle contest now and not what it used to be.
so good teaching
sweet vid guys yet again nice bike too
Tyee. THE Number ONE on my Wishlist! Not in that Setup though.

Very nice bike 👌
so did you bail out YoB with a GoPro battery from your backpack in that recent video?
That editing though.
whats the model of the bottle cage? Topeak makes quite a few.... :)

It's weird how he get brands to sponsor him you can't really get in Canada. I wonder if he has a really big European demo?

Why not 190 mm travel in the front ??
@ Christina: really sorry about our buddy Daniel Wolfe...he's a bit of a stalker. ;)
Excellent questions Christina. Still can't understand Remy enough though, lol
Let me guess sold out until 2022?
Remy's bike looking wayy too sick for comfort.
All of his bikes always look sick af

That suspension is a rehash of the old chumbawamba zulu. 20+ years ago.
how did he mullet the bike? did he get a 27.5 and change the front fork and wheel to 29?
Did you see the video ? He said that 🙈

Propain are "firm believers in mullet bikes". Has to convert his bike to mullet because it not available as one!
They make a mullet version of the spindrift. Wouldn't be surprised once supply catch's up they will do a mullet tyee from factory too.
dude was a robot. was boring but Christina kept me in it.
i can't understand a word he says hahah
