Hi, Really liked this video and my local bike store had the exact one you tested. I had a Gary Fisher Paragon that I bought back in 1996, and sadly last summer it was crushed in rear-end car crash, so when I saw your video, I was sold on the Giant Cypress and bought it with the insurance payout. I noticed your helmet mirrors, I've never used one before but thinking of getting one now. Any recommendations on which one to buy? I like how yours looks. Can you send me the URL on that one. Thanks...

Well thanks a lot lady....I just had to call all over to find my wife a purple Townie.......gheeez....ha

Everything about the bike is good except the controller holder, my controller holder got broken within 1 month

Do you have to charge the display separately? Mine doesn’t want to go on anymore 😮

Do you think when you install a bottle holder just like you did, it drags the bike a lot the bike with the wind? Or it is an insignificant difference. I travel on the asphalt with many cars passing by, so I am a bit worried about the wind resistance.

I just picked up a used 21' Talon E+ 3 29er for my 70 year old father. I think it should be a GREAT bike for him! Word to the wise - it's probably worth getting the manufacturer's app and investigating the bike more before proceeding with purchase (or have the current owner send it to you.) Reason I say this - is the used Talon E+ I just bought supposedly had "250 miles to school and back" allegedly according to the seller. She was the mother of the owner, and it has been several years since purchase so I'll give her that .. Pull up the app however when I got home, and the data shows the bike has been ridden 1100 miles! Quite a bit of difference which would have certainly affected the final sale price. Always do your homework!

You know a vlog is supposed to be videos! Word to the the wise take videos of the bad stuff too That way people see the areas that wouldn't be so attractive.

Thos is an Awesome bike but I'd definitely switch the saddle.

I ride my bike everyday to work, to camping, bikepacking, grocery. :) best bike ever!

1 x is my fave. Keep it simple.

I can't understand your accent Troy. Are you British? I'm from LA and British accents are hard to understand.

Are you two in Milton? I'm in FWB! I've a Pedego e-bike and have done your Blackwater Heritage trail twice lately. Again, love your videos, you two are real people, like me! Thanks!

Great video, again. I'm planning on the St Mark's trail this month, Oct 2024, and the information you've provided is priceless. Thank you. Dave of NW Florida.

Very good. I'll be headed to Gulf State Park soon all because you two introduced me to it. Good informative video, I'll watch many more of yours. Dave of NW Florida.

@Freestlyle Enduro 101 Warm greetings from Australia. In a few weeks I'll probably be purchasing the 2023 Giant Talon E+ 1. I'll need some kind of kickstand for it. It's hard to make out what kickstand you have, is it a Giant kickstand? Can you provide the name of it please?

Troy, I don't believe we've met but we live in the same area. I'm very involved and have been in our local MTB scene and PORC for many years... Jeez, I've been riding our local trails since 1997 actually. Anyhow, I rented one of these bikes while up in Maine and used it to ride the carriage roads in Acadia National Park. Like you, I fell in love with the bike from that first ride and have had my eyes on getting one ever since. I just purchased this exact one which I plan to swap out to a barely used Apex 1 groupset that I have another bike. I found your video very helpful and informative, it was a great way to see the bike before making the purchase! Great vid and keep up the good work!

Great video as always! It’s amazing how these e-bikes don’t look bulky any longer. What a comfortable way to cruise around and enjoy the scenery. Speaking of scenery, we are heading over to bike Gulf State Park this morning to enjoy the mild weather we’re having in the NW Florida area. Informative detailed review. Thanks! John and Kim E.

Hope everyone’s ok

My hometown ❤.

thank you for this video!

I have a giant fathom e+3.

Peace in🇮🇱greetings from 🇮🇳hallelujah, great video

Isn't there black towns buried under lake Martin. These people fronting. Somebody share the history behind lake Martin. It's a wet graveyard

I have a Momentum E+ which is made by Giant and is pretty much the same thing. They are pretty good 👍

You guys are amazing! I have done some big rides in the past and I am about to embark on some epic new solo handcycling adventures at 57. I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me some advice on how to build subscribers on youtube. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Cheers from downunder.

Thank you for the video. My dealer hasn't reset the distance since last service - can I do that myself?

Thanks for the encouragement to get my behind back on my bike! It's been far too long for me. I think I saw part of this trail from going to the Island with my brother who lives in TN, but I didn't know that it was as extensive. Looks like something I need to explore!

Good to see you guys are back at it. Thanks for sharing Ryan & Beth

Looks like a fun trail. That it’s lighted at night is a great idea. 🚲♥️🚲

ya'll need to come ride the Tanglefoot trail in N Mississippi. ya"ll enjoyed the longleaf you will really enjoy the Tanglefoot it runs from Houston Ms to New Albany Ms about 43 miles one way Be sure to check out the lil store named Sugary"s at the end of the trail in Nee Albany

I'm so happy to see you back! I am still riding but only early a.m. because of the heat. I love the idea of the lighted multi use path! 😊

Great video! Looks like a fun trail we need to try. We have visited so many different trails from watching your videos and all were amazing. Thank you! Welcome back!! I was excited to see a notification that one of your videos just posted!! 🎉🎉🎉

Does the app show how much life is left on the battery before it needs replaced looking at a used giant talon that’s a year old and 450 miles on it

🚴‍♀🚴‍♀🚴‍♀ Ride On !!!!!

Indeed, very comfortable bike for all ages, though expensive yet great value for the spend.

Great controller. Crap, brittle, not fit for purpose bracket which mounts the controller onto the handlebar, which will snap and break at the first opportunity. The app is at best hit and miss. What works, work what doesn’t work, doesn’t!

What size frame is that?

Rivnut size?

I'm looking into be in a e-bike camper bikepacking. I have hydraulic brakes too. 4:48 sounds like the cable problem would be the same for nearly every one. I see a lot of 20-35$ options on amazon and Temu for 12-15 L handlebar bag setups. Any thoughts ?

No power. Need power upgrade.

Great review. May I ask if the stock teravail tires are also tubeless ready? Thanks in advance

Thank you so much - there was no information about this app or my Momentum Vida+ e bike when I purchased it. so strange not to have any kind of manual.

why can they not make this bike with higher gears like a three by front crank for hills

Do they still make them w/ a rear monoshock?

🇵🇾🇵🇾🇵🇾

excellent

BS. $200-300 cradles? What planet did you get that information. High end is $150.

I have the 2016 roam much nice my frame is more robust... hydraulic brakes.. I hate the new models

Just bought this model from Pedelea bike shop in Vega Baja Puerto Rico. Seems great so far! Thanks

simple...use epoxy glue plus cable ties
