Ari Timp Peak Pro Review - '24 eMTB Shootout -Title Defender?

[@billwaterfield610]

Bought one last year, very light, and great spec. Excellent value. An absolute shred sled! Customer service was great with questions on ordering.

[@TheLoamWolf]

That's awesome to hear and thank you for sharing.

[@bfranco1519]

Good point about the frame and rear triangle rock crusher gap. I stuff moto foam in there, but manufactures should absolutely address this before it reaches the customer. All bikes should have PPF pre installed too!

[@zebbenbrown1301]

I put a rubber strip tape piece down on lower connection for the frame stay to prevent rocks and mud getting in on my trek rail. Looks similar to what’s on the new Turbo Levo. Simple cheap fix. I bought a roll on Amazon.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for sharing. We just wish that sort of stuff wasn't needed when buying such expensive pieces of equipment.

[@cameronshero1409]

I did the same thing... works great. But I agree, it should just be a part of the design. Specialized does a great job of this.

[@youtuber5792]

Awesome that you guys came to Branson! I live very close to there! And testing an Ari (Fezzari), I've got a wire peak and love it! What did you think of Howler? This area is trying to build more and more bike trails!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Very cool! We loved HOwler and can't wait to come back and ride there again.

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

Fantastic bike! I rode one 125 miles all over Bentonville in 2.5 days and it was a blast!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Great to hear!

[@RobertoRodriguez-nj7ym]

Did you happen to rent it from a shop??

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

@@RobertoRodriguez-nj7ym Yes! I rented it from Bike Works Bentonville.

[@BikeandSkiGeoff]

Got one of these in December (so pre-Ari rebrand) and quite enjoy it. I did swap out alloy bars for more compliant carbon bars with a higher rise than the stock to soften out the stiffness. Also put in a Works headset to change to a steeper 64.5 degrees. Bike handles and corners better for me with the steeper head angle - which also lengthens the reach a bit which fits me better as well.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Nice! Great to hear and happy you enjoy the bike. It's a ripper.

[@fe9523]

Ari is doing a good job. Although their bikes are still looking like in those early stages where the frames are not that appealing honestly, especially compared to what you can see in a bunch of other brands..

[@DoubleTap702]

That’s subjective. I like their frames 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@fe9523]

@@DoubleTap702 no bro, they are ugly, when do you hear people saying that the frame of a commencal,propain, yetti, etc. are ugly because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, never… some frames are appealing some others just are not

[@bmaclaps]

Great work as usual! When's that Propain video dropping?

[@mark124567]

Im waiting for that too.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Just a few more days!! We're going alphabetically. haha. The suspense is real...

[@mark124567]

@@TheLoamWolf I hope the focus isnt too much on just the auto shift and coast shift. Lots of videos on that. We want to know how the bike rides.

[@Bierce88]

Yall should look into the Transition Repeater its sub 6k now for the GX build.

[@kyledavis635]

But they stuck the last generation EP8 motor in it! Makes no sense, especially since the lowest build level has the new improved EP801...

[@kanutecarson1]

I tried to buy one of these last year. Too many delays and BS from Fezzari to let it happen. Each delay led to the next level bike which was more $$$. They told me the bike shipped twice and it never did. I got my money back without issue.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you for sharing and we're sorry to hear that! We've not heard many stories like that, but it's always a bummer when it happens to you. Hopefully you found another good bike for you.

[@HarryPotterFan777Wizard]

Happy days

[@jlh530i1]

would you say the bike is a solid candidate for a coil? thanks for the content

[@TheLoamWolf]

We actually just got a Vivid Ultimate, which we think is going to be awesome on this bike. We've also talked to people who put an O-Chain, which we will also be doing, and i think those two things would make this bike even more awesome! BUT, yes a coil would do some good things as well.

[@Henry-j4g]

Has anyone else had build quality issues with theirs? I just got mine and there’s chipped paint on the edges of almost every joint and exposed raw carbon in several places. I love the bike, but the build quality is concerning…

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for sharing. Have you reached out to Ari to share this info?

[@Henry-j4g]

@@TheLoamWolf I took it to Ari (I live close to their headquarters) and they just said, "oh yeah, that's normal". I was just majorly confused. Not the response I'd expect when I point out pretty blatant problems.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Oh interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@okamisan3642]

This might be too much bike for me, but I’m about to throw down for it anyway.

[@TheLoamWolf]

It’s a fun one for sure!

[@curttang]

Why is the POV always so horrible when watching your channel? Can barely watch with how jittery it is. It’s an easy fix. Cameras are amazing these days!

[@mutleyadamsracing2684]

My Fezz-Ari Timp makes riding the roughest trail a straight up blast!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Happy to hear it.

[@danielpatino81]

Everything was great until the shimano motor came up 👎👎👎

[@bfranco1519]

Looks like a 2011 Yeti ASR7 lol. Ugly looking paint too. Sure it’s a good value but you got to look at it. No Bosch drive unit. Ugly Shimano display.

[@DB-sd3cw]

Yikes. Another ebike

[@TheLoamWolf]

Buddy...This is _ still_ part of the 6th Annual, EMTB Shootout Series... There will be one ebike video, per day, until we complete the series, of 14 eBikes. But, we love the engagement and consistency! So thanks for showing up. We just wanted to be sure you were aware of this annual series, so you weren't surprised again tomorrow, and for many days after.

[@btk5256]

Haha

[@DB-sd3cw]

@sjaan7370 can't even spell your correctly. I see the room-temp IQ people love Ebikes. No wonder the clowns at lame wolf are obsessed with them.

[@Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

The rear is lifting because the fork is blowing through the travel pretty quickly. You can see it when you ride.

[@bfranco1519]

@DB yup another ebike. Why did you click on the video then? You still mad they allow snowboarding at the “ski resort “ too? Maybe open your mind up and stop being a dick. E bikes are 10x more fun than a flintstone bike…
