I bought a first generation fast ripper, with a 1x10 drive train. Basically a 29" bmx bike with gears, then a few years later I was introduced to the YT Industries Dirt Love 26" bike. And I missed buying it 😫 so I bought the core 2 Dirt Love, and its awesome! As I was searching around for other brands of DJ Bikes, I came across this P4 and thought hmm Aluminum Frame... but I can add gears!! A total game changer!!! Then I found the Intense DJ with the anniversary paint job for the same $2'100, and it has the same possibilities for adding gears. How many gears I am not exactly sure 🤔 but it never goes on sale like this p.4 at $1'500. Its always at the $2'100. I will sell the fast ripper and buy this p.4 or the Intense DJ, depending upon the amount of gears I can add. Because I am wanting a DJ for the street, and one for the jumps. I am also 6'5" tall with a 36" inseam. So I will add a 4" tall handle bar.

Super helpful info. I'm looking at doing something similar with the P4, so this saved me a TON of time. Thanks for sharing.
My man!!
Thanks!

Great video! How is this sized compared to a regular hardtail MTB? Equivalent to a medium or a small frame?
I would say a large frame. I am 5' 11" so you can judge for yourself looking at the video.
BTW I put a Shimano 8 Speed hub in Melinda's P3.
how do you like you're p4 i wanted to get one for just ridding around town and adding the gearing for more practical ridding around town
how do you like it i wanna buy one and put gearing on it as well for a daily use bike.
I use it every day and love it! It is hilly up here so the 1-1 low gear setup is perfect. High gear is great too since I am not racing.
@@dasschramm I want a hard tail mountain bike, but I’ve always loved the P series. I just don’t hit dirt jumps anymore, love the bikes
I was thinking about getting a specialized chisel
@@AlexUnleashed222 I don't know about those.
