2022 Marin El Roy - The Definition of Rowdy!

[@marin_bikes]

Thanks Kyle, we enjoy your take on our fun El Roy.

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you so much! Can't thank you enough for the continued support and generosity!

[@yengsabio5315]

Do you sell this or the SQ3 on Philippines stores? Thanks in advance! Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #KeepBiking

Built mine up from a Frame with XT/SLX components, XT wheels, AssegaiAggressor DD tires, Domain Fork, 180mm Dropper, Titanium saddle. With all my tools, spare tube, water bottle I tip the scale at 36lbs all in.

[@urg0nnah8me]

I don't understand the sub-par kit on such a killer frame. No wonder it's almost 34lbs. I built mine up with middle of the road parts and it weighs 31.8lbs. Completely changes the experience. Such an amazing bike. I prefer this over the Chromag Stylus I had before it.

[@pizzapie4me]

I think they really just wanted to stick to a friendly price point while speccing a really nice fork on a bonkers sweet frame. Biggest stinkers are the rims and brakes. Though, I find the brakes to be adequate. Rims are too much. I'll be building a nicer wheelset this summer and probably switching to a Microshift group.

This is extremely helpful, thank you

[@freeridefox420]

i have this bike now for 2 years. had the same feeling the first 2 weeks. was feeling really weard and long. But damn when u get a good feeling on the downhills? such a killer bike. even learned flips on it and rode freeride tracks in bikepark Chatel in france alps with the bike! absolute killer!

[@dynamitedanny3531]

Best bike review i have seen in a while! And it was a blast to ride!

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you Dan! Your filming skills help make these videos possible! I owe you another burrito!

[@flux_core_fx]

Very helpful, thank you. I was trying to decide between a growler, rootdown, or this!

[@scstinger5]

Good video! I have a Rocky Mountain Growler and have really beaten up the frame. I don’t think it has much life left lol! Was thinking about picking up one of these frames as a replacement. I’m 5’10” which calls for a grande, but the specs make it look way to big for me?

[@freeridefox420]

nah dude. the M feeled like to big for me. but its spot on. first 2 weeks i will think i bought the wrong size. then u will love it

[@Tkolbo_]

Lovin the look and numbers of this bike! It’s definitely a contender for my next bike. Great review !

[@CobraKyle]

Thanks dude! You should totally get this bike. It's wild!

[@pizzapie4me]

I've got about 4 rides in on mine, and I'm constantly impressed. If you like crushing it on the downhill, this is a great bike for it. That said, I did clear some stuff on climbs today that I normally wouldn't.

[@ryanrayburn1894]

6:43… I will expect my royalty check for that trademarked saying!

[@CobraKyle]

I've literally never heard you say that before in my life!

[@karlkrause6679]

Man I wanna ride one only because it seems like the steel HT version of my Alpine Trail.

[@madmikemtb105]

Ordered a Ragley mmmmbop frame..super stoked!!

[@CobraKyle]

Oh very nice! Congrats!

[@Hockey610]

I also live in Texas and I’m buying a hardtail I love going down enduro trails but don’t get to very often in Texas I found a Elroy do you think it would be ok to ride here in Texas

[@JaredRMorgan]

I love how I just get the notification NOW.

[@CobraKyle]

You missed the exciting premier and chat!

[@Bittersfamily0424]

Awesome review!

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you Gary!

[@harrygrimley4352]

Cool. Thanks sir

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you Harry! Good to see you! Stay warm!

[@dandemore8057]

Sick!

[@aliabed2454]

My question is Is that real the El Roy is the biggest and longest bike in the market ? And my wight is 99 kg is okay with this bike? Because I have tried other bikes after while the frame was not okay . I hope i get answers soon Thank you

[@CobraKyle]

Hello! I don't know if it's biggest/longest in market. I just said it's the biggest one I've been on. Steel frames are quite a bit tougher, so this bike should be able to accommodate your weight!

[@RunBikeMike]

Great review 🐍

[@CobraKyle]

Thank you Mike! Sick snake emoji!

[@jimmysavage258]

I’m between this bike and a San Quentin 3

[@fishrideandski4910]

it doesn't look like a session

[@CobraKyle]

haha and it's all the better for it!

[@madmikemtb105]

At least it’s not named after a prison

[@jensongroff]

Hardcore Hardtail vs Full sus Trail Bike

[@CobraKyle]

That's a tough choice! Also a great video idea. I feel like the outcome would be: Full suspension faster, hardtail more fun! Hopefully I can get my hands on another hardtail like the El Roy and put them head to head!
