- New bike day is always awesome but with vanlife being something we have done for years is it time to also sell the van and pick up a truck? We head to Rig'd to check out their new Raptor Mtb build as well as some new goodies! Then we head to Santiago Oaks to break in our new bikes! What do you think, truck or van?

Mo always gives me those Tinker Juarez vibes when he has the big shades on, and I mean that in a good way. I used to love watching that guy race against Tomac and company when I first got into the sport in the 90's.
Shout out to Bobby! Hes been so professional and been very quick to response. That is my problem with sram, zero response.
“Can we just have Hannah and not you” 😆😆😆
LOL 😂😂😂
That DVO fork is seriously sick
It somehow made rides even better than it looks!!
Beautiful people Beautiful bikes Beautiful area you guys rock👍
Thank you!!! ☺️
Great video guys, thanks for sharing. Welcome back to Arizona!
Thank you!!!
Mo with the extra color scheme. Love it. That pivot looks so legit and paired with DVo at that! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!!
That kind of hot pink bike is so sick I love the color. Great video! I love that y'all do the things I wouldn't (ride in the desert) even if it looked gorgeous!
Thank you! Haha so many cacti! 🌵🏜️
I've got the new Onyx SC29 and Topaz 2, I couldn't be more pleased with how awesome the ride is!
So rad!!!
First visit to your channel - liked and subscribed. And, thanks for the heads up about DVO. Because that gentleman was associated with Marzocchi in the past, that's enough street cred for me to explore DVO suspension forks - I owned the Marzocchi Z1 and Z2 Bomber back in the day, they were outstanding forks, and I loved them and the brand.
Love the new bikes! I’m digging how now you guys can ride and test different bike brands without a dedicated single brand sponsor. Keeps things fresh!
I like the DVO suspension, BUT Pivot puts a lot of work in with fox to have the valving just right. I can't imagine the ride is as good.
Great point!! The rear shock definitely has been requiring a little more fine tuning and adjusting. I think Pivot suspension design has a lot going on with it. But so far the Topaz has felt great on there after a few adjustments! The fork felt amazing right away but obviously there is a lot less that goes hand in hand with the frame there! -Mo
Loving the DVO stuff :) They seem like great folks. Also, the amount of cactus diversity out there is wild! We've got quite a few varieties in New Mexico but nowhere near as many as that part of AZ. Nothing like bobbing and weaving down the trail between the spikes. Don't make a mistake 🙂
hahaha so true!!!
Hey Hannah, I actually came from a switchblade to your exact same bike. I had the same feeling and I went to a 35 mm rise bar and I went to a 42.5 length stem and that made all the difference in the world being able to get that front wheel up a little easier. That bike also has a little longer chain than a lot of other bikes in its class. The two adjustments I made helped counterbalance that.. just food for thought.
Good to know ill try that, thank you!!
I’m getting ready for my west coast trip and I’m stoked to have some climb again. I’m stoked to ride the Tucson again. Bring on the 50 yr trail for my 1st time.
It’s amazing! You’ll love it, enjoy!
I forgot to ask. Where did u park for the climb??
If you Google 50 year trail head it should pop up! Pretty much anywhere from the start of the dirt road works! You can find it on trailforks too!
@@moandhannahtravel sweet. I found the parking and climb trail. Yall rock. Have fun in Sedona, it was great meeting y’all 2 yrs ago there.
Cheers
I remember Mo riding the pivot firebird, seems like such a long time ago.
The Mach 6 was even longer ago! Fun times!!
I remembered he hated it
I spy with my little eye an AXS Transmission on that Pivot. Caught you, Mo!
hahaha!
Love my DVO Diamond but might have to upgrade to the Onyx after watching this.
Such a good fork!!!
I bought a new Ripmo with a 160mm DVO fork and it is butter, I have a new buttercup ZEB and fox 38 on my other bikes. They are all very very close.
So many good options!!
1:43 DEFINITELY NOT HANNA BECOMING A SAVAGE ALL OF A SUDDEN 😭
hahahah!
What size switchblade was that? Did it feel too long?
Pink looks sick as do the area you guys are riding you do have the tinker vibe going on ha ha now you no i,m old 😂👍✌
Just so happens I’m in the market for new enduro fork and that grey looks very sexy !!
Haha you would love it!!!!
I might have missed it in the video but what frame size did you go with on the Pivot?
Size XL full review coming soon!
Awesome bikes
Thank you!!
Once I see the Ford Raptor. And heard Hero Dirt. I had to bounce… I miss the real MTB days from the early 90’s
0:24 that scratchy grinding noise from the brakes , is that normal ? i get them from my trp dhr with resin pads
That bubbling is because the brakes need to be bleed. Set this bike up really quick so didn’t get to it. Trps can make a little squeal. They work amazing though!
I believe these brakes on mos bike are sram rsc codes?
@@moandhannahtravel thanks for replying guys! yalls are amazing!
Mo corrected me and said it’s from the metallic pads LOL! 😂
@@moandhannahtravel cheers Mo!
Well, Pivot was designed for that kinda riding. It should work well . . .
Finally a pink bike review er I mean the pink bike review I have been waiting for 🔥
😂😂😂
what happened to Fezzari?
Hey at least DVO is being honest 😉
😂😂😂😂
What do you use an agent for?
Everything!
So they sign Hannah but she’s still riding the fox shocks? 😂
Mo, new to the channel......are you a famous rider?
😂😂😂😂
@@moandhannahtravel ......im 64 years old.....i dont understand smiley faces......so is it yes or no?
Dream bike pivot
It's awesome!!
“Pivot” haha…no!
I have no idea how you both ride without gloves on!
Us either!!!
You're making pink great still.
Thank you!!
Pivot’s Boom!.. Best Bikes out there!
Hahaha 😂
You guys were getting paid?
😂 nice
Honestly thousands ride without sponsorship. Sooooooo who real cares if you were dropped or if you don’t have any. Just ride and make great videos.
So for the reality pill.
Out of curiosity, did you watch the video?
Of course. I like your vids
Hahah thank you!!! Then hopefully you enjoyed this one! Tucson is amazing! And we’re just having some fun at a viral rumour that was spreading, it was funny for all of us 😂
