Great, honest content. It's refreshing to hear more down to earth, discussion format reviews versus the usual scripted dribble. As an owner of two Canfield hard tails, I am looking towards replacing my alloy GG Smash (RIP, GG) with a Lithium in short-shocked setup. I rarely race, LOVE hauling ass with smooth suspension just working, and dig small brands.

Would have really liked to see the Devinci Spartan!!! I think it could be better than all those going downhill, a bit different than the range but well yeah, I would have liked to hear what these guys would think of it versus the others! My friends just want me to buy a spech enduro but they keep changing theirs on the warranty lol like yeah it maybe ride really well but if it breaks every couple of months thats a no for me!! Spartan is heavier, same slack SA than enduro, but pretty sure it is even better going down!

I appreciate Sean, and Dario's insight on this one!

[@mrvwbug4423]

Would love to see a comparison of these vs the RM Altitude as well. Your reviews are WAY better than PBs field test. I also like that you were able to source a Specialized Enduro to compare these to, and it still seems like the best bike in the class, but you also broke your picks down by rider type as well which is great.

[@William.N]

Great wrap up, gents! Difficult request: Revel Rail29 vs Canfield Lithium. Small travel differences but both are relatively similar. It would be very interesting to see how both companies work with the CBF. If you guys get the chance to compare the two, please do!

[@mrvwbug4423]

I would love to see this as well. From what I've been told by a dealer that carries both brands. The Revel Rail 29 is a bit poppier and more playful than the Lithium and a little smaller in feel. I want to love the Lithium, especially as it's not particularly expensive as a frame only option (the way I would go), but I'm also 250lbs and like doing big bike things and 17% progression just doesn't have the support. I've demoed a Lithium and it really feels like a bigger Ibis Ripmo, including the lively handling but also the too easily bottomed out back end

[@siebitup]

I love Canfield, but man a bottle outside of the triangle is a bust for me, I'd go Revel Rail29 for that reason alone. I hate wearing bags/packs, and my tools fit in my downtube anyways.

[@erdawe66]

@@mrvwbug4423 yeah I wouldn't recommend the lithium to a 250 rider, unless 6'2 or less on coil shock without progressive spring or HBO. Better for those 225 less with nice air shock like ohlins w/ volume, maitou mara or cane creek kitsuma air, maybe new ext air. At 180 or less coil easier swallow without progressive springs. So a ohlins tuned sprindex, cc kitsuma/ dbcoil, ext custom, 2023 rockshox, or personal fav retrofit push with sprindex may fair well. Can experiment with progressive coil, 1 degree angleset and 180 travel with size large and smaller. Idk how feel recommend size xl riders 6' 2 or more, unless you love super short stays, better off One.2 S3 or different brand.

[@erdawe66]

@@siebitup there way get in frame 600ml bottle with $100+ fidlock/yt mods, but not readily apparent. I actually find evoc pro 1.5l rides nicer weight distro than in frame storage for weight reason after first testing with ebikes with range extenders no room for in frame water bottles. Then realized rather have water weight on hips well distributed unless in 36C desert, than water making a heavier frame need to pedal without e-pedal assistance.

[@mrvwbug4423]

@@erdawe66 My take from a demo ride it felt like a Ripmo with more travel and better pedaling manners. I ride a Ripmo but have it cascade linked. Next bike is going to be something with a very progressive back end like a RM Altitude.

[@waltermagana6720]

After I bought my Fezzari La Sal Peak I thought I'd probably return it beacause it would be overkill for me. I don't race and I don' t ride really gnarly trails. But I was really really surprised at how good it is climbing, navigating techy terrain and fun on mellow smooth trails. Pedaling power transfer feels almost immediate, much better than my previous trail bike. The suspension platform works great. It tracks terrain really well and handles every kind of terrain well. It climbs better and is faster than my previous trail bike. It's just a lot of fun, so versatile and such good value. I agree with the reviewers, it's a great pick for most riders.

[@elborrego5643]

Walter, can I ask what your previous trail bike was? Looking for some comparison. I’m currently on a 2014 Giant trance 1, and looking at getting a La Sal, but worry about sluggish climbing. Looking for a little longer trail bike, and the La Sal seems to fit.

@@elborrego5643 My trail bike is a 2017 Salsa Pony Rustler.. a Horsethief with 27+ wheels instead of the 29'er. It utilizes a Dave Weagel designed split pivot suspension and is and excellent climber with 120mm of rear travel. I got my La Sal Peak 2.0 in July and was completely blown away with how good it climbs with 170mm. Honestly, it feels just as efficient to me going uphill as my Pony Rustler. But the La Sal Peak is so much more fun on really gnarly and high speed sections in the bike park. So for me it's been all upside. No more pain going uphill than before; but far more capable on the downhills and chunder.

I think the Specilized Enduro is the best overall bike,very well balance handling and one of the best of it not the best rear suspension enduro bike on the market. It could be a good choice for racing,but I think I would choose a more sharper handling bike to do enduro races,like SC Megatower or the Orbea Rallon. That Jekyll looks great too, I bet it would made a perfect EWS bike too. Very good video!

Great vid gents!!! Awesome mix of bikes, new and old, aluminum and carbon, high pivots, keep em coming 🤙🏼

[@BDKR]

Good data / review! Definitely helped me not pick the Lithium. Not because the Lithium is bad, but because it's not the kind of thing I was looking for. I feel like Canfield is like Trek in that they are doing some cool stuff, but they are not as progressive in the geo dept. Now Canyon on the other hand. :-)

Cool to see the growth of MTB culture Mt Bachelor had added to it with the bike park.

Right on Austin. Yes we are based in Bend, at the moment and spend a bit of time at Bachelor in the summers! Cool spot.

[@no1cr500racer]

Great review, I love my Fezzari La Sal Peak. It suits me perfectly.

[@cberg9480]

I only have experience on the Canyon Torque and the Specialized Enduro. Between those two the Enduro is a better all around bike. It doesn’t feel as big and climbing techy trail it’s more maneuverable. And boy on the way down it feels soooo smooth. I ended up selling my 160 Canyon Spectral and bought the Enduro. I also have a beefed up XC bike for “normal riding”

[@erinb4919]

Really interesting comparison. Like that you compared to the Specialized Enduro as a reference point... I always find it difficult to understand these big comparisons, always of new bikes only (which I understand in terms of demo bike availability), as if bikes released 1 or 2 years ago are suddenly inferior and forgotten... Now you just need to add on the RM altitude and the new yeti sb160 ;)

[@TheLoamWolf]

We've got a Yeti so we'll just have to get a Rocky.

After reading your reviews a lot it was fun to watch one. Liked it just as much or even more ! Despite you highlighting the important things of ride feel over components, you are very pleasant. I wished to be able to say that about our German reviewers… watching the video I felt sad not being able to ride so many bikes before buying. Have you ever thought to have a audience episode where you invite a bunch of lucky non professional individuals to take part in such a review session? I also wonder what would be your „most fun bike“ choice ? I currently fell in love with the Rallon but am totally not the use case. No racing. Maybe the Orbea brings one advantage for me as a not beginner but not really good rider : simple trails will be more fun but the geo can cover my ass when on enduro holidays in the alps or Pyrenees

[@NDemanuele1]

No Ripmo?! Would've liked to see how it compares to the Orbea, Specialized and Fezzari.

Great video, one thing did not make sense , overall Fezzari but the Enduro was a pick on every category!

[@kodster330]

Thanks the testing! Curious why no Commencal meta SX or even clash?

[@TheLoamWolf]

It's not for a lack of trying, they just didn't have any bikes available for us.

[@eugenux]

I own a nuke giga 290..it is a pretty rad and capable bike on which you can attack basically whatever trail you need or want, even if you are lacking some skills to really master that said trail. Having said that.. it is a supremely fast bike but, it is fast due to its geo not because of its suspension(some would think it is a DH with a sc fork, when you look at its 180mm of travel.. but, actually, it is a little too harsh and pointy to be that). For the enduro, the suspension performance comes first and the geo is the result of suspension development.. and that's why it is a great pseudo-dh bike even though it isn't the slackest or has the most suspension travel for this category. It is a very very accomplished bike. What I missed from other bike magazines enduro tests is always have the previous last year's winner to come back and "fight" again the newcomers. If everyone would do such a thing.. we might have seen the spez enduro being the winner in this category for years in a row, since its launch date. It is simply, the perfect blend for hard mountain biking. I would never put it as a versatile bike.. because it will never be that 150-160mm enduro-ish bike on which you can pedal the mountain... in fact, in the pedaling "departament", it fairs slightly worse than my giga. Still, it is the bike I would recommend it to pretty much anyone who wants a real capable enduro bike...9 out of 10 times.. it is that good.

[@snat6299]

Kip from napoleon dynamite loves reviewing bikes

[@TheLoamWolf]

You could say he’s getting pretty serious about it.

[@zorqis]

I also think the Specialized Enduro (and likely the Yeti SB160) is the reference here. Just saying the Rallon feels less rigid with lower builds (M10 or even the M20), a really good climber, and overall more usable in a variety of roles than most others I tried. Fezzari not really available in the EU, but they look more alike with the Rallon than different, so I wonder how close customizing could get them. As for the value pick, the Torque was tempting, especially the mullet, but for a little more money I still wanted the Rallon. In the end, as you also hinted, any of these bikes are likely more capable than most of their riders, so the choice is more of a personal intersection between skills, means and wishes (like with so many other things).

[@bottejan3712]

Why you are saying that lower end models of Rallon are less rigid? Is it tune of Float x vs x2 , carbon wheels? Cannot think of anything else.

[@zorqis]

@@bottejan3712 yes, I was considering the carbon wheels, carbon bar, suspension tuning - the difference may be small and eclipsed by advantages of the higher end models.

[@zorqis]

Take into account that I am an amateur - a pro should make these comparisons for more credibility. But I was very-very positively surprised by the Rallon. On pumping tracks barely any pedaling was needed (my other bikes are all less efficient), on steep climbs it was planted, downhill nicely controllable, even in the high geo, which I chose for better clearance. It feels like a Kenevo SL, only lighter. I was amazed how well it climbs, I changed my mind about getting an ebike. I think the M10 is the best value for most people, or even the M20 with small upgrades (brake pads, shifter, etc). It's expensive for a "value"-bike, so it's middle ground between Canyon/YT and e.g. Santa Cruz/Yeti/Specialized, with potential issues (rear triangle looks vulnerable). Will see.

[@larswalther1902]

What a wicked video, thank you for all your guys' hard work on these reviews! 2 questions, if you were to buy a 2020+ Specialized Enduro, would you get it with an air shock or a coil shock? And also, does anyone know what happens to Specialized's old stock? Like where do all the 2021/22 bikes go that they didn't sell? I'm trying to find a way to buy a "new" surplus stock bike from a few years ago for hopefully a lower price but haven't had any luck so far. Cheers!

[@ragethomas]

Great reviews, camera work, and production. But in reality the only one consider is the specialized. Odd grouping of bikes if which none I would ever really consider. The Norco is cool but I gotta pedal places.

[@mrvwbug4423]

It's a better grouping of bikes than the PB field test. It just proves that there is variety in the enduro bike world, you got your fun, playful bikes for daily riding like the Canfield and Fezzari, your out and out race bikes like the Orbea and Cannondale, and your super send freeride bikes that will probably be seeing more shuttle days than pedal days i.e. the Norco. The Specialized just does a lot of things well and is an all arounder

I mean, my friend who is riding like me, average rider, no big jumps or drops, just little tracks with roots and rocks from eastcoast, already broke his twice in about a year!

Why no YT Capra?

[@glynnb6572]

I love the canfield lithium and fezzari. Both look cool as fuck as well :)

[@DandyHippo]

Torque is more for the bike park eh?

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Imagine telling people That $7k+ mountain bikes are “bargains”. What kind of audience do these guys really think they’re talking to? 🤦‍♂️

[@donak2773]

Where was this filmed? Thanks

[@TheLoamWolf]

Bend, Oregon. More specifically at Mt Bachelor.

[@matejbaranya]

where is ARC8 EXTRA ???

[@henryojeda2890]

No commencal???

[@hierophant9929]

I Think about to buy a specialized enduro. Can I fit 2.8 or 3.0 tires on the rear wheel? Why maxxis or schwalbe don't have 29er in 2.8 tires any more?

[@mrvwbug4423]

2.6 is max on the Enduro, why on earth would you want to put plus tires on a FS 29er? 2.6s are boat anchors enough on a 29er

Dude on the far right is like why am I even here

He says that every day of his life. 😂

Which DH park is this?

Mt. Bachelor

[@mateenfatehi866]

They have like 80k worth of bikes just sitting there

Canfield wins..yet again

[@leomartinez1213]

Scott Ransom better than most of these

[@TheLoamWolf]

It is a bad ass bike for sure.

I am disappointed the dude with glasses always talk! I would have done the video like pink bike where you ask question to each person! Otherwise I see lots of bias!

[@GuidolineMinivan]

No Commençal? The best enduro bike might actually not be in this group 😂

[@DavidFoundCo]

You spelled Rocky Mountain altitude wrong 😂😂

[@mrvwbug4423]

@@DavidFoundCo Yeah, I'd love to see all of these compared to the Enduro and Altitude as those two seem to be the top two bikes in the class for the last few years. I'm glad they were able to get an Enduro for comparison. The Altitude feels like an absolute weapon on high speed tech
