You genuinely hit the nail on the head.. The reality of it is, 95% of the bikes actually sold, will never see enough hard abuse to actually justify there lineage... If you watch certain channels, I wont mention names... They will make videos like, why you need a downhill bike, or why you need this or that, and these tyres,and this suspension... 6 years ago I wanted a freeride bike.. Hell yeah, I can do drops and be a blatant hooligan.. So I sold my perfectly capable and franky the only bike I needed Orange 5 all mountain or [trail bike] in todays market.. Now I go on leisurly bike rides and im sweating, Ive never used the freeride capabiities of the bike, I dont even live in a country with a mountain over 3,000 feet elevation... No hardcore courses, all just leisurly trail rides and a couple of bike parks that my orange 5 could have easily handled.. I got suckered by the marketing and bike forums...

I have no bias for either. Its a budget and accessibility application... in fact really glad both exists. The world of MTB definitely allows us plentiful choices so we are lucky. What I feel no one is talking about is, how exactly can these busget manufacturers make an almost identical copy, of course with corners cut, without infringing on anything or getting in trouble. I would love to get the behind the scenes story on that as part 2. Anyone else curious?

This has to be one of the best MTB channels online. Yeah I got ripped off with a 2017; Cannondale 29er FSi about 18 months ago And man if I would have only RESEARCHED a few videos like THIS CHANNEL and put that $800 towards a used 27.5 FS polygon or Talon One or Two I would have easily saved another $500. The first thing I did after Zelling $800 to some bike dude in Delray ... Jammed up 95 N straight to REI in Gardens And then bam ... without even realizing ... I felt prey to the MOD BUG ... no clue what I was doing ... Mindlessly charged another $200 on thinner profile hybrid tires with that Kevlar lining , added a riser stem ? Had the techs check DR tuning and replace the fork lockout cable . Of course none of these details have anything to do with your channel or my RIDING ability of the bike performance , however I think you've touched on some RAW nerves 😅 and the impossibility of keeping up with the titanium frame bros. -
