Akrigg has to be one of the most skilled riders out there, can ride any obstacle on any bike!

Chris Akrigg is a legend, A Hill in Spain changed my perspective on MTB forever

[@garrettgriffin9613]

Pinkbike analysts: "coil shocks just aren't that poppy" Chris: "hold my beer"

[@bertrandpigeon326]

Do you know what is his suspension setup? Can't recognize it

[@garrettgriffin9613]

@@bertrandpigeon326 he’s riding EXT suspension. Storia coil and Era fork. They’re more of a boutique brand, but I’ve heard nothing but high praise for the Storia

[@hardtailparty]

That was incredible. I could watch this all day.

[@andrewmcmullan6872]

You know it is going to be a good day when a new Akrigg video drops!

[@geoffsimons3475]

The explosive power matched with perfect control is incredible. Chris’s ability to find a creative and fast line through terrain that looks unrideable is insane! 🤯🤯🤯

[@GTBicycles1]

Couldn't agree more. Chris is really one of a kind!

[@digbysirchickentf2315]

The explosive power is going through that idler wheel.. hope it doesn't break!

[@michaelroberts108]

It’s like someone has genetically spliced Danny Mac and Sam Pilgrim.

Doesn't matter when his videos come out, 10 years ago or 10 year from now, timeless. Style, finesse and power in perfect balance. Electric or analog, I love watching Chris ride bikes.

[@GTBicycles1]

agreed! 🤘

[@MartinAtanasu]

Is there anything more impressive than Chris riding natural terrain? Mind-blowing ability

[@hans-peterschmitz4045]

The combination of trial and mountain biking is perfect from Chris.👏

[@NathanEide]

Akrigg is a legend. Absolute legend.

[@GTBicycles1]

You can say that again.

[@yuri_on_youtube]

Akrigg pushes these bikes outside of the normal performance envelope, you could say literally between a rock and a hard place. Amazing.

Mesmerizing! Chris is absolutely unreal. The locations are too! Thanks for another spectacular video !

[@GTBicycles1]

The location was practically made for Akrigg. Thanks for watching!

[@blacktowntrails1464]

We took Chris to our local trails in Valdemanco, Madrid. A small village with (as you can see) unreal riding. We are glad you like it!

[@blacktowntrails1464]

What a skill set! Amazing riding ! Glad to see GT making such good looking, and proper bikes. Back when I started riding MTB GT, they had some I linkage system that would break, collapsing the frame triangles (frame in half) it was the worse bike I owned.

[@melindaleon5907]

It went together easily in less than an hour. kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
