Thanks! I had a chat with the staff and asked if they would atleast mark and give numbers to the tracks. Really hard to tell where you should go and which track you are taking when you are not a regular visitor. I think they could build a great bike park if they chose to go that way. There is not really many lift access places in the region.

As did my forearms hahah.

Since you happen to be close to Narvik, do you know if there is a path from Rombaksbotn to Narvik or if you can follow the train track? I'm planning on some mtb bikepacking from Abisko. There is a path but you need to go around the whole mountain.@@fenrirmtb

@@esavirtanen6418 unfortunately I have no experience on long MTB routes. I've had time to session dh or enduro spots but not entire trails. Norgeskart and Trailforks could give you more info but my guestimate would be that most trails between Narvik and Abisko are meant for hiking and because their technicality are not really suitable for bikepacking, hardly even enduro biking without extra equipment slowing you down. Most of the terrain in this area is very rocky and there are constant ups and downs and cracks which make biking hard and unless you are travelling light and have a lot of technical riding skill the way would not be enjoyable. What I have done so far is set camp on a spot and then make day trips to different places but I wouldn't dare to go for a multi day bike packing trip concidering the terrain without scouting it first and doing research on the available routes. I am not saying its impossible but it all depends how light you can travel. If you carry sleeping systems and cooking equipment I recommend finding a trail someone has reviewed before. If you can go 1-2 days with light pack with snacks then sure, but in any case be prepared to push-bike. For day sessions I recommend Reinnesfjellet. It is near Narvik, you can camp there and the scenary is great. I have a video about that place aswell but you can find more vids in youtube that detail it better with drone footage.

Thanks! The grey bike in most scenes is Santa Cruz V10 29", their downhill bike with 203/215mm suspension and the black is 2019 canyon torque 27.5" 180/175mm.

@@fenrirmtb awesome bro! 👍🏻 Im about to order Slash 8 as soon as the leasingcontract with the company is engaged! 😍

Thanks! It is truly a nice place to ride. If you ever visit Narvik, be sure to hike/ride at Reinnesfjellet aswell.

Haha hey there! This is actually the run before, which I said didn't feel complete. There was more than one twist on the way down from hiking trails above lift lines - the video will need some editing because of that but I will post highlights later.

Hey, you are definetelly right! This video was filmed for the purpose of helping me set up my suspension. I like the feel, but as you pointed out I'm constantly riding past the halfpoint of the suspension. I don't feel like it is a problem when riding, but I know that it is not good because there is no room for bigger hits during or after the rock garden. You can see my other bike had a little bit too much rebound and pressure, since handlebars kept pushing up from every impact. I got it set up after this video. kzbin.info2tn0bszpFCU Great point and I keep tuning my rebound. I think I'll add more volume spacers!

@@fenrirmtb no problem

definitely need a little rebound but i'd recommend a volume token or two aswell

Yup, was going to comment this. Lean it a bit more and its a table.

Hahaha, this comment is gold!

Yes

Turned out to be 100% fine. Aluminium frames have their perks. 🦾

@@fenrirmtb I’m glad you and your bike are okay, but dang alluminim frames?

@@flamingostuff8431 Wanted to try out a 29" Dh bike. The extra weight wasn't that bad after a while riding it but I think I'd still invest in carbon fibre.

@@fenrirmtb Your probally right about the carbon fiber

Small jump for Nice whip

Thanks!
