Hey good video. I have the AL version of the bike but have completely different components. I have been super happy with it as a bike part shredder and occasional travel enduro bike. I even put a used Boxxer Ultimate on it and it has become even more of a park weapon. It's such a versatile bike but I would recommend that people buy just the frame and then build it up with the componentry that they want.

I have the AL version, full 29 and I bought the frame-set. I build it up with parts from my old bike. I have no issues so far. Would be interesting to put a Boxxer on it🤔

Is there a disadvantage of a bicycle? Does it make a lot of bad noises?

Great Review! 👍😁. I’ve seen some videos/comments where people said the seat post or seat post “holder” was too high, even when the saddle is all the way down. Did you ever notice it being like that?

good honest review, Scott would be my last choice with cable routing and enclosed shock

Ben bu bisikleti almayı düşünüyorumda, acaba amortisör, hız ve sağlamlık açısından performansına 10 üzerinden kaç verirsiniz? Veya propain marka hangi bisikleti almamı tavsiye edersiniz?

I got the AL frame only option. It's not a great frame. Alignment issues and it's also a very noisy frame. It's sturdy, but that's about the most positive thing I can say about it.

I used to have the mdrp brake discs but after one season I switched to the storm hc discs again, just because of the play you mentioned. It just doesn’t feel great on the trail and on slow tech stuff the feeling is even worse and the storm gf discs are a lot cheaper 😂

What’s the headset you got bc I dont know what I need for my spindrift

@north-eastshredder1787 7 ай бұрын

You need ZS49 top part and ZS56 bottom part. Acros webpage has excellent info about headset replacements. My headset: HOPE Headset Top S.H.I.S. ZS49/28,6 HOPE Head Set Bottom S.H.I.S. ZS56/40 Keep in mind, that you may need stem stack spacers as well. Since different headset may result in stack height difference.

"20% sag on shock and 30% on fork" that sounds like it should be the other way around.

@north-eastshredder1787 6 ай бұрын

30% sag on long travel fork is always my preference. I would run 30% on the shock as well, but lighter coil don’t provide enough support on bigger hits. Stiffer coil - less sag.

@aser885 8 ай бұрын

With your comments on shocks I just want to say if you want a more progressive feel then try a progressive spring, standard springs on coils are designed to be linear, and if you want more progression go back to an air shock. Good review though.

@north-eastshredder1787 7 ай бұрын

Thanks. Coil shock is just too good on chunky trails to go back to an air shock. How progressive suspension feels comes down to linkage design as well, not only the shock. If bike is designed around coil shock, linkage compensates for linear feel of a coil. A lot of people running coils on these bikes, so I assumed that Spindrift works really well with coil shocks… But you’re right, progressive spring is something to consider.

@hajun._08 7 ай бұрын

Does this bike make a lot of noise? I'm thinking of an aluminum one, can you recommend one?

@north-eastshredder1787 7 ай бұрын

With coil shock it’s pretty noisy. Air shock is a lot quieter.

there’s no way you are bottoming out that 180mm with only 20% sag riding like you do!

@lucasmondora 2 ай бұрын

I have a spindrift. I bottom out the shock on mellow trails even with 20-25% sag. You really need spacers with Propains Pro10 system.

So should i wait for new one ?

@north-eastshredder1787 7 ай бұрын

Doesn’t look like new Spindrift releasing this year. Just before new releases, you can get old bikes for banger deals. So depends on your preference and budget. If headset routed cables doesn’t scare you and you are willing to pay full price, might as well wait for new Spindrift. However this gen Spindrift is a very solid option, but I would recommend to wait for a good deal. Currently CF 27.5 is on sale. You can also check Outlet section on there website for cheaper prebuild bikes. If you want peace of mind get AL frame.
