@@Orphansmash haha 🤴🏻🤘🏼

I’m not sure if there’s still snow up too or not, but it’s one where you park at the top and have a car at the bottom to get you back up at the end of the day! Hopefully you got out and had a blast riding in Wyoming

@@VR6NAVYVW dude.. yea I can imagine it’s all blown to smithereens at by now! Fun place for sure tho, just takes some pretty good rider skills 😜

@@SemiSendy lol ~ Not a terrible price honestly for what your getting out of a 9,000$ bike.. mavens, lifetime frame wheels with i9 one hubs, xo transmission, adjustable travel and Geo which is more than what most companies offer in a all round one bike to cover many categories of bike use

@@bike_somm I’m referring to another round of proprietary shocks and the removal of mechanical cable routing

@@SemiSendy I get it.. but as a mechanic 👨🏻‍🔧 who works on bikes 6 days a week with only one day off.. my blood sweat and tears for working on bikes simply disappears when I look at this shock and how easy it will be to service. Also if anything goes wrong it’s not “proprietary” being made by Fox & they are and have been extremely reliable to work with when anything goes wrong with any of their shocks that need warranty or internal service. Anywho time will tell kUz I personally see cableless drivetrains and bikes like the stumpy nothing less than a Dream to work on compared to many other bikes in this MTB category

Super sick middle bike for sure!

Sweet! It’s definitely a rad lil ripper! Basically like an alloy version of last years Epic Evo 🤌🏼😎

For this race? Definitely an all mountain or Enduro bike over a DH bike.. This isn’t a real “DH” Course. In general, for bike parks.. a DH bike would be able to take more abuse then an Enduro bike.

lol. Prices are dumb.

Then buy one.. brake it and get a new one.. that’s how good companies and warranties work fellow shredder

Lol, nobody’s worried about fatigue on the carbon models ☝🏼 think they would release bikes they trust with the warranty they give along with it~ Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to launch something that would fail absolutely 🤓

@@bike_somm Carbon fiber doesn’t fatigue or deform the same way that metal does.

@@Eric.V. they figured something out with their new construction methods, ultimately Time will tell

Dont be sscared bro, sounds like u dont wana buy it anyways. Id be more worried about my gravel frame​ i constantly take on single track. And even that has a lauf fork @Eric.V.

Got this jersey from their HQ in Canada when I visited for the field marketing summit meeting. Think it’s a team jersey and not available here in the states 😎 lol

These trails were pretty sweet for a backyard warehouse trail setup!

Bragging rights ~ Oh and 1million dollars of course 💰 lol

Hahha apparently it’ll hold! 😝 would rather be on my Firebird to save the ankles ☝🏼

I’m not 100% sure I can be honest not having ridden the bikes on trails yet other than the parking lot, but they feel insanely good and a tad more capable closer to that of the stumpy than the latter generation Epic

Hahah, least they got the geometry and builds right with the right components 🤘🏼

you don’t notice it though…my 2nd gen is a ripper

Doesn’t matter if it pedals for you 😂

@Icmtn It matters on some bikes

Max travel on 1 foot drop ?

5’11 or 180cm and I’m stoked on the Large for the rear center length for climbing and descending & wouldn’t want it any shorter back there.. the extra length up front is really nice for stability and gnarly riding too

Thanks a bunch! Stoked it is helping others! Was a wild and fun ride for sure. Depending on what casing tires you are running and brand I’d say no less than 22 front and 24 rear.. also remember that in an xc race like this tire pressures will rise over the course of the race by a couple psi ☝🏼

@@bike_somm Awesome! Thank you!!

They do make some good Quality bikes.. soo not so much quality over leadership ability

Too damn high

Haha not that bad actually.. with Ultimate level Rockshox suspension Code stealth brakes & new GX transmission I’d say this bike is bang on for value at $5,699 usd 👌🏼 dam good bike for the versatility of its Geo and intended use as a all mountain slayer of a bike. Capable of switching between either mullet options and full 29 as well as adjustable travel options from 150mm rear 160mm front to 160mm rear and 170mm front! Also a full 200mm dropper post on size 3 (medium) not many companies spec their medium bikes with that long of a dropper. Carbon bike is on par price wise with other great bike companies offering carbon only frame options for the MTB market.

Hey I feel like the Large or Size 4 would be the right size at 5’10 I’m 5’11 and the large feels almost a touch small & the medium feels much too small, I like the feel and geometry on the large tho! Very very cool bike

@@bike_sommis the on in the video you ride, size L? Thank you for your answer

I forget which wave, but I made sure to pedal hard at the beginning and pass as many people in my wave as possible and then only few ended up catching back up and passing me later after about 3/4 of the race when I started getting tired and fighting off a couple small cramps. Thank goodness for the aid stations! Good fun and hard race for sure!

$5,699 USD

That would be pretty cool!

Nu cred ca stie cineva romana sa iti raspunda aici, dar bicicleta e cam 6000 de euro, o gasesti pe site-ul Norco

Hi~ yes the bike is a really decent option for mountain biking all types of terrain! I’d say maybe not the one and only bike for everyone, but a very good option for anyone wanting to grow and have a bike to help them become a better rider over time. 👍🏼

Thanks for the comment! Yea definitely a good place to learn to ride fast and chunky terrain here and there

Probably the best pedaling Enduro bike I’ve ever ridden! Feels like a trail bike when climbing and like a mini DH rig on the downs. Does extremely well on flow trails and is one of the lightest enduro bikes one can buy!

5,699$ us in alloy

When I can snag a demo I’ll definitely do a vid riding the bike~ looks rad!

Sure what’s your address 😝

When I get ahold of a demo.. you betcha! Buckeye, Upper & Lower Skyline would be an awesome test to see how the bike handles mixed terrain!

Buckeye is my hands down favorite trail right now! Can't wait for it to dry out

Pretty interesting bike ☝🏼

Check out Epicrides.com think this year is around April 26-28th for 2024

Awesome 👏🏼 yea I’ve only ridden out here a handful of times 🚲💨 Fun Place

Lol… kids these days Ehh 😏😜
