I say “what was that noise” all the time to my kids. We all know what the noise was.
LOL HAHAHAH
🤣🤣🤣
Do u mean building a bike or trying to give them a sibling
Got this big boy for $1799 and can't wait to take it out to the trail! Looks so much fun. Thanks for the vid!
Congrats on the new bike! Its a beast
You’re not kidding the Colossus lives up to its namesake 😅 honestly though, heavy bikes tend to feel incredible on jumps and chunk. And the new Berm Creek revamp looks incredible!
Crazy, didn't know its weight was quite that high! The Ferrum LVN 160 I built is all steel with coil front and rear and its weight is pretty much spot on with his last Colossus. You think a lot of that weight comes from the linkage? Or is the tubing just that beefy on this thing? I've never seen one in person so Im curious
I enjoy your new format of how you're doing your videos. This is a good look my dude. And I pray you continuous growth and prosperity!!!
Excellent bike. Love the design of the COLOSSUS logo on the downtube. The glitter and font are amazing.
Oh yeah full holographic logos just like Pokemon cards
I loved that first Collosus too and thought it was the best bike you've had on the channel. Really like the aesthetic with that green, orange and kashima!
I recently bought my first full suspension, in the form of a second hand polygon siskiu t8 for an absolute steal of $900 Australian ($570 US) and it feels crazy when you’re used to a hard tail
Loving the T8. 👌
dang 570 US? was it beat to hell or something? Thats a solid deal. My friend has a D7 and hit just about everything, including the Snotch, at the The Whole Enchilada a few weeks ago. Solid bikes.
@@SnowShackboy the only issue was that it needed new brakes, but the bike came with an additional answer rove stem and specialized bars for free
Finally someone figured out a way to sell bikes with good components at a reasonable price
I’d never move to America but bentonville just looks incredible.
I am glad to see that bikes online is a real site. I always second guessed if it was, because the prices seemed too good. Now I know and that can’t be good for my spending decisions.
Haha it sounds like you may have it confused with Bikesdirect which is a very questionable site. But if not, I can vouch for Bikesonline!
I love perfecting my bikes and seeing you pefect yours. As a mortal who doesn't get paid to ride bikes, I've come to accept as per IFHT "it's not about the bike, it's the rides it takes you on". On my D7 SE, I didn't mind the Raidon 32. It felt pretty good to me once dialed in. I ended up using a fair higher spring rate than recommended by SR suntour @~15% sag. Rear felt good to me @ 25% sag which was also higher than rockshox reccomendation.
im quite convinced only americans use an actual knife to open boxes , the rest of the world uses half of a scissors
they never use box cutters
It was a Pleasure meeting Evans MTB Saga today out on the trails. Such an awesome guy and I will be a sub for life for sure!! Keep up the great work brother and can't wait to see the vid on the bike you were on.
I’m on my 4th minivan. I hope to get a Toyota for my next minivan. I love the Siena. They are stupid practical, they drive like cars, get decent fuel mileage. I always hated minivans until I drove one over a weekend about 7 years ago, now I am hooked. I’m loving both the new rides!!
The new siennas are only hybrids and we're getting 33mpg in the city. Minivans have such a bad wrap but they have more cargo capacity than trucks with seats down/removed
The effort put into this video is insane, as with the editing as well:)
Great video Evan! Berm Creek looks amazing too.
Trails so sick! & nice bike! I may have to get one just like it! 🤣
Yes…
Wonder what Jared thinks of the N7? What upgrades would he do? 🤔🤣
So happy they still make a quality bike that I can afford and that you still ride them. Not putting anyone down, because I would do the same, seems like those who make mtb content ride bikes I can’t even afford to buy the drive train without putting a mortgage on my grandkids.
nice color on that bike. :)
"I almost had a big crash...I think it was the fork" - every biker lol
And the noise was your seat hitting your rear wheel
Haha I'll explain it in the video. It was 100% the fork and 100% my fault
Dang, what a deal. I paid $1700 for my D7 a couple years ago (and put a used Pike on it, which really helped). Would definitely be scoping out the N7 if I hadn't gone all-eMTB all the time.
I feel this comment!
Did you have to upgrade to a boost front wheel?
Left us hanging at the end lol
I think the noise is the seat hitting the tire
I just ordered and received a Polygon Xtrada 5 for a friend and he is extremely happy with it. It's for transportation and he isn't a fan of the 1x setup. The Xtrada 5 is a 2x cross country bike which will be on tarmac 99% of the time.
I used to have that exact shock "fart" sound on bigger impacts and adding volume spacers fix it!
I love your new bikes videos, but i dare you to do a video on the 2014-2015 GT Sensor elite. i love it, and I think you would love it too. Love from the West Coast.
Always look forward to seeing there’s new Saga videos
its crazy that you can get that much bike for that price and it looks good! I'll sacrifice weight for thousands of dollars any day!
Good choice man, that's wat I got last November. 2023 sienna XLE
Oh man XLE is a good trim! I had to settle with an LE+ AWD, but didn't have to get on a waitlist
7:35 you still have the retro s-works!
I recommend you buy SR Suntour Durolox 36 or 38 for that one
That is incredible they were able to spec a zeb and 12 spd deore for that price. I will say that I've seen tons of people posting pictures of cracked polygon frames specifically the Dseries frames. Leaves you to wonder if you're getting that level of component spec where the shortcuts are being made, likely the frame and the linkages.
When I hear about that, I just wonder what they were doing with the bike before and during the crack. I know they're entry level bikes, common for teens or people starting out. I'd assume that they were using the bike for some pretty gnarly stuff. I know that sounds like a paid Polygon shill, but if you read Pinkbike comments on their articles, everyone says every frame cracks all the time
@EvansMTBSaga yeah, not sure. My friend has had a D 7 that he has ridden pretty hard and it's been great for the last year and a half or so, no issues.
Really liking the new chill format
Thanks me too!
“Upduro.”
I am very intrigued!
Me too! But we might be the only two haha (no one has commented anything positive about it haha)
Was aboutta comment on another new bike, but the minivan makes sense! We got a 2022 Sienna XSE last year, fitted some Enkei rims and Michelin Pilot Sports, its a blast! Hope the Collusses works out for you Evan
Oh yeah the XSE is an awesome trim! With the wait-list, I settled for an LE AWD. I bet yours looks killer with the rims. I felt like the designers knew what they were doing giving it tuner vibes for the aging 90s/00s kids haha
@@EvansMTBSaga Oh yeah fly sure! The stock rims with the plastic hubcaps just didn't look right, according to my father. My sister and I aren't little kids anymore, but minivans are the pinnacle of immaturity! The Sienna is getting about 36 MPG with ideal weather. Cold weather noticeably decreases battery range.
Walks into bike shop with an N7..... "Hi I'd like a bearing change on my linkages and pivots"..... :)
Evan for D7 SE go with the SR Suntour Aion35. What a great upgrade for the bike. I did that on my D7 and D7 SE at 130mm. What a great ride now
Good recommendation, but I'm going coil this time around!
Love the deep dives man. Much love from the Philippines! Do with whatever your heart desires on your bikes! Watching you have fun makes me want to ride out my local mountains a lot so keep making these bangers~
ahah peenoise
Evan!! I have 4 kids (oldest just turned 5) and just got a Toyota Sienna XSE too!! I love your videos. Do you have any affiliate links just in case my dad buys a Polygon Path X4?
Really would like a new bike and the Whyte T140 29 is currently only 2k, but the spec is lower than my 2018 T130 which now sports Hunt Trailwide wheels, Hope BB, Shimano slx 4 pots, Monarch RC3, and the fork is now a 150mm Revpikey as it has the latest piston and 2.1 charger.
In fact it's probably lower than the S spec I got the 130 in to begin with!
It would have to be a night and day difference after a demo day even in base spec for me to consider it as I'd never get enough back from the 130 to put similar upgrades on the 140.
I've heard that noise before. It was the sound of the rear wheel buzzing my seat at full compression. I moved the seat forward in the rails about 2mm. Problem solved.
Good call! I'll be doing that soon
That noise was something hitting the tyre right?
I didn't get to look into it, but that happened on another bike and it was the seat hitting the tire with a big compression
Hey I know that sound. It's my jade x with a 450lbs spring. It's plush tho
I’m really sad I just got a meta sc and I love it and it’s sad to see it go
Evan, I really like this channel. You have the best RUclips channel if you ask me! 🎉. I like that you show different bikes. Not like everyone else that show bicycles that are just not affordable. Keep up the good work Evan.
I really really really like this bike
Dude, we have 4 kids and I'm pushing 39 right now. Would love a Sienna like that! haha
It's a game changer! Still a little hard with the car seats and the third row. Love having the big family though!
Also you should buy the Yt Capra you can get a better build for the price
Jesus Christ, manages to pump out that many kids in the last 3 years while doing all this on RUclips? My man! 🤜🤛✊
That noise is the tire rubbing on the seat. Happens on dh bikes. You need to slide your seat more forward
Sounds like an excuse for new seat and dropper!
Also confusing for a person who mains a Hardtail haha
@@EvansMTBSaga that wouldn't help to be honest. You need to let out all the air in the air shock and compress the rear suspension completely with your seat in the down position and adjust the seat out of the back tires way under deep compression. You might be surprised at how much travel you are leaving on the table before it even bottoms out.
@@EvansMTBSaga I am a tinkerer so I have experience from me and my buddies big bikes.
awesome bike
This bike and a few others like YT is the reason my upgraded 2014 trek slash 8 is not selling at only $1300 with a wheel set at over $900 with i9 hubs when new. 😂
Any reason why you like the D7, one of your favs I've heard you say, but I hear nothing of the T7/8? I figured you would prefer the T7 or 8. I can't decide, D7 and T7 same price here in Canada, but I don't really have a need for a "trail" specific bike, a lot of xc, some uphill, technical, rocky road too I guess. T8 looks nice too 🤔 ...And all are currently 25% off here in Canada!!! Happy riding!
I just simply have never tried a T series. I do believe its a little heavy for XC type trails. But if you have any drops or chunk, I'd go for the T series
I’m interested in what you come up with for an upduro I have I decently built Propain Tyee that I would definitely classify as an upduro I’d love to meet up with you some time and let you try it out! I visit Bentonville are pretty often.
Looks like a great bike with an even better price
Try a specialized status 160. Its a much better bike but similar price to the n7
I knew he would say there was a problem with the siskiu just so he could get a new bike, I wish I could do that!
I'm looking for the howler video?? I just went there and love that place
ruclips.net/video/rxj3j9Ofol4/видео.html
Such a fun place!
@@EvansMTBSaga thanks!!
I see ur scribers are raising! Congrats man super jealous. Would still love to offer my tech/mechanical/camera skills to ya if ur interested. Just reach out anytime!
P.s. I've been with ya the beginning and have enjoyed every video.
Missing some live videos. Loved the live vids cause it never went as planned and lots of mistakes yes but it showed us ur are only human like the rest of us!
Heck yeah thanks man!
Feed your addiction with a salsa timberjack
That niose was u farted when u landed 😂😮😅😢
Haha that was a big flat bottom!
These days bikes come loaded if you buy one high enough spec. Not full crazy high price all crazy top of the line everything but just a few steps above entry level all you really need to do is change comfort and fit parts like bars stem saddle and maybe tires. Bike companies are some what doing things right and bringing cost down with great parts.
Awesome bike🤙🤙🤙
How much for the Commencal? 😂 Thats the only brand i ride now. I own a Öhlins tempo and a Meta HT and only live a couple hours from you
This is cool but I was really looking forward to seeing you work on the d7se.
That will continue! I might do one video on another bike before getting back to the D7se
A 6 bar suspension…holy bearings Batman 😮😳😎 Another one bites the dust and gets a minivan…😞😎
specialized status has competition
I'd be careful with the commencal if you ride it again. They don't have a great reputation for frame strength.
😂 everyone says that about every frame though
@@EvansMTBSaga honestly tho bro, for ur sake id be careful. One of their own racers went thru like 3 frames in 1 season. You can search it.
Love the vids mate jus don't reckon a snapped frame would end well
Yup I've been seeing a lot of cracked frames in their fb group.
You should definitely try a coil shock on this thing. 😊
I don't think Bentonville warrants a coil. Coils hug the ground more and are great for chunk and chatter. Bentonville seems more of a poppy playground where an air shock's progressiveness shines.
I just want to be able to buy as many bikes as you, that’s it
It's not about buying them. It's about making partnerships with companies and getting to try their new releases
A sienna is not a bad way to go at all. One of my college buddies had one. Thing had like 250,000 miles and was over 10 years old. The only reason he got rid of it was because he hit a deer and totaled it. Otherwise they could he could have easily gotten another 100k out of it.
Oh yeah Toyotas are awesome! I had a 2002 Corolla up to 180k miles and got rear ended real bad. I would've driven it way longer 😔
Can you tell me the compression and rebound tune on the super deluxe shock?
no clue man sorry
Lol, when Seth is poking fun about the new bikes you know you have a problem.
Were did you Commencal meta go and if you still have it wy dont you use it for these masive jumps
Did you watch til the end
Ups Now i know ,ey if you dont need it any more i kinda need a new bike so i would take it 😂😅
Got a question will the s-works build ever return
Nope! It wasn't that fun tbh
should I get this or the T8?
Depends. So you want a new bike, what type of trails do you want to ride?
No you can’t get rid of the comencal I loved that bike I want to cry
I think I'll keep the frame, maybe build it up a few years down the line. It was a fun one!
What size is it
Medium 29er
6:41 WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?????? like, fr
What size is it?
Medium 29er
mini vans are the best
We all been there, some form of regret after selling, and just by looking at it does include what appears to be a Sunrace Cassette. I would have given the N7 a name Rhino if owned one. When there more suscribers the risk of telegram scams are likely even Berm Peak have encountered those numerous times this year, just letting you know ahead of time, and they are a nuisance.
Well I have the check mark next to my channel name now. Plus I monitor comments more than bigger channels
"Hey, why'd you get a new bike?" "I liked the other one too much." :)
Nice to see Jared and Seth make a cameo. Love their channels. Interested to see what you do with the N7.
I have not heard about Jared, but Seth very well known used to subscribed to his channel until last year due to reasons involving a video of flip bike Trek Roscoe. Have moved on from that incident.
Sounded like you landed on a clown horn!!
Dude you get more bikes than i get underwear….
“Didn’t you just have a new bike last week” lol that’s about the size of it….
Minivans are vastly superior to SUVs in every normal use way (plus optional AWD is nice)
The only possible way an SUV is better is if it’s way off road and is an actual SUV, not anything like most of the new stuff that will have a freak out if you think about touching dirt
Oh yeah this sienna is the AWD version! I got super lucky getting it, as there's a 9-12 month wait list. Someone canceled their order about 4 hours away. So I flew there and drove it back 😂
@@EvansMTBSaga hell yeah
Please don’t sell the commecail it is the prettiest bike on the channel and probably the most capable it is super like to
Not selling! It's probably not worth anything in this market. I will keep it around and maybe build it up in a few years. I'll think of it as a collector's edition 🤣
Oh ok few
Imagine evan trying a dh bike
It's not a Colossus, it's a "Collosus"
Yeah they spelled it incorrectly but it is what it is
2000$ is a bargain
Yo
Yo!
no... not upduro...
Sell my girlfriend the commencal, she’s a enduro racer in Fayetteville on the university team.
Could be a worthwhile video, she’s currently on a stumpjumper on steroids. Overstroked rear 145-147~ and 160 front
I might! It's a medium 460mm reach and mullet
Just can’t ride bikes that heavy. Too old now and just can’t stand that heavy a bike.
Maybe it time for hoarding therapy.
always the bike's fault....lol
Cool how that new trail comes with barking spiders too.
The loam lever is such a luxurious upgrade. I love mine and don't think I'll ever get a different lever. It's so smooth. Also, I bought a Commencal meta sx this year, and after the SRAM gx drivetrain, new bars, brakes, and wheels, that thing rides up and down so incredibly nicely.
Oh man that is nice! I said that exact same thing during my ride filming this video about the loam lever. I love the big bearing that it hinges on. Did you see PNW released new carbon bars? I almost bought them but it would've been a splurge/impulse buy 😭
@@EvansMTBSaga I would love nothing more than to get those bars! Unfortunately I need a crazy high rise, so I ride with custom bars that a buddy makes for me. But I would love to try carbon bars some day.
There is the 2002 beautiful Specialized. In colors it looks very similar, but the different is in the parts. Retro and modern. Cool🤙. Have fun with the colossus.
I've considered to buy it bat 18kg are way too much
I think the wheels are super duper heavy. Gonna experiment and try to lighten the bike
@@EvansMTBSaga I've just descovered that they don't ship to europe... (I live in Italy)
