Have you already bought some black Friday bargains?

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

YES!

Ordered a YT decoy core 5 yesterday, can't wait to ride it!

I picked up my 2024 cube stereo hybrid 155 e machine for £4000 from an online retailer from £7000 RRP and it's an amazing bike for it's money and the Paint job is amazing

Good to hear Neil is on the mend. I picked up a 2023 Rocky Mount power play instinct A50 for $3100 new.

[@neildonoghueMTB]

Thanks, I will be back in a couple of weeks, not riding for a while though

[@Mtb9r]

@Excellent to hear. that damn healing process kicks ass. I’m 65 this DH race year. If I were to tell the whole story we’d need a few pints 🍻. My point is I quit riding for a while thinking my body and mind would be better off. Holy Hell it was tuff to get back into DH conditioning, 2025 I’m going for it full speed head first. Stood a top the podium many times in 40 years. A few more would be amazing. Happy Trails Neil.

Got my Bergamont E-Trailster 150 Elite Fully with Rock Shox Zeb Bosch Cx gen 3 750Wh Batterry for 2300$ brand new 🎉🎉🎉

[@johnreese3762]

Great info/video, thanks Steve! Hi to the cat!

[@Calvin_Wright]

Don’t forget your LBS. They can often take to their suppliers and get close to price matching online offers. Local is very help when needing warranty work

[@MadRC]

I bought the Cube One55 last week for £3799 with a Charger 3 damper fitted from the Electric Bike Shop, I'm absolutely loving it!

[@bike314]

Yamaha moro 7 might have been the deal of the year. 2550$ 2 batteries, 5 year warranty and for an extra $300 you can put a fox factory 38 on it. For the price I don't think there's anything close

[@southernebiking]

@@bike314 100% correct. Picked up the pro model because I could get it a bit quicker and be sure that I got my name in to get a new battery before it went to “while supplies last”. For the price you got love it.

[@user-ku8ip3yy7q]

It all depends where buy it from, cube ebikes are on sale for around £2400 which you're advertising Evans for around £5000

[@javi3_14]

just got my Polygon T7E delivered today

[@ashleynicholls9526]

Yes just got a new Slash+ £1.5k off

[@racocook6449]

Black Friday? Bike prices are dropping faster than the Ruble! Before buying check for local sales support, yes you pay for that but will you get a replacement battery? Read the guarantee small print you might not be happy! On the bright side there are always the Spring Sales.

[@astott288]

Mudhugger mudguards all year long. Keeps your bike parts and rear body parts dry, who likes riding with a wet rear? Based in the NE of Scotland and riding singletrack all year round apart from when it's really icy. Go Mudhugger.

[@redrover9988]

Hahaha on me. I pulled the trigger this past May when finally seeing a 'SL' bike I could lift onto my bike rack. Paid $7600.00. Now six months later there are lots of 'SL' bike to look at to consider that are lighter than mine. And now the 'Black Friday' sale price is reduced by $2000.00. Wish I had of waited.

[@davidgrothen3943]

So you have a Nebo?

[@thebodaciousbing3950]

Any chance of getting one of those black puffy at Steve’s wearing in this video? And it has a hoodie on it as well is that correct?

[@lawrencewang9048]

During a major economic recession, there are many deals to be had, as long as you have the cash. Enjoy

[@darrenjones3681]

One day they might do a real persons budget bikes group test for people who’s cars are worth less then these 4K + bikes

[@craigcraigster5605]

I got a gagsgas 50% off for $2500 Canadian funds!!!! Incredible deal and the sale is still ongoing. You guys in UK pay way too much across the pond.

[@RobHill00]

They are discounting them over here, I saw Brink were announcing a GasGas sale!

[@Ian-yf3fo]

Just ordered this one55 for £3,626 😊

[@jsolis7]

I think the question is, why would you not have a rear mud guard? Is there a reason why you shouldn't?

[@drahoslavhorvath]

Looks terrible... I can't ride bike which looks bad for me.

[@chr1sonf1re]

Looks horrible and makes slapping sounds when cycling through rough stuff…

[@jsolis7]

@@chr1sonf1re I think that's the only reason why not having one. That's only easthetic. I use one because it keeps the water/mud off my rear end and out of the back part of the motor.

[@chr1sonf1re]

@@jsolis7 I use a small mudguard to keep the linkage and shock dry. But yeah, the aesthetic is the main point:)

[@syncroG60golf]

I can’t see my rear mudguard when sat on the bike but I can feel my dry arse 😁

[@ChristianPareATLAS]

Batteries last 1 hour 😂 Seriously i go for 4 hours rides sometimes. I wouldn't want a heavier bike to pedal 😂

[@reddofly]

Definitely team mudguard. They may look a bit much but looking like you've shat yourself big time isn't exactly an inspirational look either. :D Re battery extenders and a 400Wh battery. Whyte decided that a 600+ Wh battery would put the weight too high up the downtube for what they were going for. I am still getting used to the real range available just on the internal battery. I do have the extender but haven't used it in anger yet.

[@Adlemtbadv]

Are you not featuring 'where in the world' anymore?

[@laurenjenkins17]

It's Cool Places! The name got changed somewhere down the line ☺

[@combatclifton]

There’s also the 2023 Trek Fuel EXE 9.5 I’ve seen as low as £3450 which is a great price for an ultralight

[@e_mtb]

If you are interested in a husqvarna bike, also check out the common online market places in central europe, the company has gifted thousands of bikes to their employees because of massive stocks and overproduction, many of them will surely be sold for a good price

[@Emtbwebb]

When you say common online market what sites do you mean? Thanks

[@e_mtb]

@@Emtbwebb Ebay, buycycle, bikeflip, rebike, upway .. as some examples, "kleinanzeigen" would be a another very popular option, but it's only available in german. There are a lot of bikes available on the german second hand market in general, because many bikes are just leased and they are sold after 2-3 years of using and replaced with a new one

[@Emtbwebb]

@e_mtb thank you for replying appreciate it 👍🏼🤝🏼

[@grahamgillette5393]

You would be really pissed if you purchased any of these bike’s mentioned at full ticket only to see the dealership slash the price on the pretext of a Black Friday sale, so how much mark up do they have on these things ,

[@curtrichardson8002]

No mudguards,not necessary here, nobody uses them around this area.

[@Bierce88]

Unless you buy a Ep8 motor and get shafted from Shimano with no new updates. Planned obsolescence .

[@Codeset08]

I have had a focus jam2 with Shimano e8000 since 2018 never updated it and have ridden all over UK no problems. Never expected them to do magical updates to transform the motor after I purchased it.

[@stephan20008]

Im the same with my Yt Decoy. E8000 motor is loud but works perfect. ​@@Codeset08
