    Great review. I also have a 2021 ARC, pretty much stock out of the box, and have raced XC. Loved it. Faster tires have made a big difference.

    I have been racing my A.R.C for nearly two seasons now and it is by far the BEST A.R.C for XC. I use a Fox 34SC fork and no dropper post either.

      Legend! Think I’ll stick to a dropper on mine 😛

      @@MTBgains Hi both, always been a hardtail guy and thinking of going back (N+1 rule) to MTB after a few years Road/Gravel only. Is it “comfortable” enough on long MTB ride?

      @@kazzz6666 I find it alright for longer rides, I’ve done many 6 hours+ rides on the bike and felt fine, no sore lower back like you get with many bikes. Make sure you have comfy grips and saddle!

    Good effort and great bike. What weight did you get it down to for your race?

    • @MTBgains
      @MTBgains  9 месяцев назад

      No idea, I’ve not weighed the bike since getting it.

    Hello! Great review! I’ve watched this and the Enduro video and the bike seems pretty solid (except for the disc being loose). Are the shirts available for sale?

    • @MTBgains

      Thanks for watching, bike is great really, think I prefer to my sb150. Shirts not available for sale, maybe I should do some merch?

      Full Suspension always helps. But it’s nice to have a hard tail in the stable. I have an EPIC EVO EXPERT and I’m faster on it than I was on my TURNER CZAR. Throw the idea of merch out there and see if there’s any interest.

    Hardtails are great because they aren't bouncy , if your riding a full sus bike in an xc race the rear sus should be stiff as can be adjusted. It takes more body positioning skill to ride a hard tail and that's ok.

    • @MTBgains
      @MTBgains  Год назад

      Yep agreed. Great core strength also helps A LOT when riding a hardtail at pace or over long distance.

    Why the AM30 wheelset vs the M5 or M6 for XC racing?

    • @MTBgains
      @MTBgains  Год назад

      Cost & strength. I ride this bike a lot & pretty hard (not just xc), having gone through 4 rear wheels this year I wanted something strong, light and not going to break the bank

      @@MTBgains Any thoughts on Cush Core inserts for the wheels if you are destroying them? I love my ARC and would like to have seen you closer to the front on the start. I think you could have placed a lot better!

      All the time, love my dropper, I’d be lost without it; especially on the downs 👍

    Does the geometry makes you go over the handlebars especially when you raise the seat up to pedal long flat roads?
    I think adding a long stem like 80mm at least would make you less over the handlebars.
