I absolutely love mine. The bike really has a different feel to it; making my tried and true setup feel off. Took a little longer than expected to dial it in the cockpit and tires (brand, model, width , pressure, etc.) but she’s perfect now.
I'm a Maniak, too! Pretty amazing bike. I've never had Ti before and it's a real eye opener to how different materials and manufacturing processes effect ride quality!! I was wondering if you ever get up to the trail system they've built in Kickapoo State Park?
That trail system has a little bit of everything! Do you have a techy climb in the area? That's where I feel that the frame shines the most, it's literally a mountain goat
Great video and love your bike! How you finding the domains? I'm considering them for my steel ht and my terrain is pretty steep with some trail riding in between, thanks in advance
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you!!! So far I am LOVING them! Definitely a trade off though in the weight. The weight does not bother me but definitely something to note! Fir the price I snagged them at I definitely recommend them!
@@chickensendies what did you end up with for a measured HTA? (By the way, mine is even "worse" since my 150mm forked Maniak is a mullet. Such a slacker.)
@chickensendies I think you and I aren't measuring correctly. Because the advertised geo, plus using an online geo calculator doesn't yield remotely close to that. BTW that's about what I measured...
I have a ML Maniak with 140 pike. Im 5'7" long torso. This bike rails on turns. Feels very long on downhill. Lots of pressure on my hands so im thinking of a shorter stem. Any thoughts out there on how to fix the cockpit?
That’s interesting I was looking at purchasing a medium and I’m the same height as you. If you’re feeling a lot of weight on your hands you could try a shorter stem and also move your seat back on your rails. The bike has a pretty steep seat angle so it pitches a lot of your weight forward. What’s your leg inseam length?
Remove that bed cover if you want to store more bikes :) 5 large 29ers can fit in a 4 foot 5 bed like that with a tailgate pad. Just saying since the bike is diagonal
I've actually been pretty torn on that..... I use the cover quite a bit and typically I ride on my own so it is working so far for me. But, Time will tell!

Actually same! HAHAHAHA A few tweaks and she is really shining now!
I would love to have my own Binary Maniak for sure!
It is a very solid bike!
The bike looks awesome and ran great, The spot you were at was super nice too!
I am definitely very fortunate this place is so close to me!
Very nice. Looks like the perfect setup for Griffin. Enjoy!
It really is! Runs so nice!
Thinking about a titanium frame, not sure if would be a name brand frame though!
I'm interested if you end up going the budget friendly route for one.
Just ordered a frame, I'm soo excited!! Please give us an update on how yours is treatin ya!! 😎
It is about time for an update! 😁
Beautiful place. Lovely trails 👌Nice bike.
Very fun place to ride for sure!
Bike seems to handle good and that area looks so good! Rock n Roll looks my kinda trail 💪 Better call Perry Mason for that big jump case 😂😂😂🔥
Definitely need to lawyer up HAHAHAHA A for effort!

Very nice!!! I sure do!!! I'm actually only about an hour from Kickapoo! They have terrific trails 😃
Thats a cool blue buffalo sign, someone put some effort into that!
Very cool sign for sure! The trail is super fun!
Reallyy nice trail system you got there.
It really is!!!
That trail system has a little bit of everything! Do you have a techy climb in the area? That's where I feel that the frame shines the most, it's literally a mountain goat
That is a good point! There are some very fun techy climbs for sure! Just not very long HAHAHAHA
Great video!
Thanks, Clint! Hope you are doing well!
Nice review Josh.
Really appreciate that!
Im considering it
Still riding and absolutely love mine 😁😁😁

The buffalo sign signifies 1/17th infantry regiment.
I was actually aware of this I've done the Buffalo ride out at Griffin. Very cool and eye opening time.
That’s cool! Thanks for the content. I’m in the process of explaining to my wife why I need a titanium frame.
Do youu like them long travel forks on there?
So far I do!!!! I feel it might be much for my typical riding..... Time will tell for sure!
Could you pleasure measure the fork/head angle with that 150mm fork installed? TIA
Well..... I did it.... Sounds like a video needs to be made over it lol
@@chickensendies what did you end up with for a measured HTA? (By the way, mine is even "worse" since my 150mm forked Maniak is a mullet. Such a slacker.)
@@bldavis36 So.... If I measured correctly it is around 60.5.....
@chickensendies I think you and I aren't measuring correctly. Because the advertised geo, plus using an online geo calculator doesn't yield remotely close to that. BTW that's about what I measured...
@bldavis36 I am wondering if the frames were made off during production
