Fezzari Delano Peak Vs La Sal Peak - 140mm or 170mm??

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

Great review. I've owned a Delano, La Sal, and Signal. The Delano is the most versatile bike of the three and can be set up anywhere from XC to Enduro. If I had to choose only one bike, it would be the Delano. Fezzari is an awesome company.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you and thanks for adding in your thoughts too. I absolutely love the Delano as well and honestly just riding either bike I always have the exact thought that “I love riding this bike!”

[@AprilRideMTB]

We hope this video is helpful if you’ve been intrigued by either of these bikes and the timing couldn’t be more perfect, because Fezzari is having a Labor Day sale! Here is a link to their website bit.ly/44gAlsb Hope everyone has a fun weekend!

[@aribikes]

Glad you’re loving the bikes!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Love them so much! 💜

[@1969Escobar]

April great to see your progress, good teaching Kyle, cheers

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@Todd66]

I’m digging both of those bikes. The color schemes are on point for sure. Wait…Was that April riding that wheelie?!?! Nice!!!! The progression she has made is nothing less than inspirational. Super good video. Not shocking at all.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yes, that was a wheelie!!! As soon as I got on the Delano, I just knew it was finally going to happen for me. I even had dreams about me finally getting it 😂

[@spynles7947]

Love the La Sal's colour, that purple...

[@AprilRideMTB]

Me too! 💜

[@jeffcowgill2545]

I have a la sal and I absolutely enjoy riding it

[@AprilRideMTB]

Great to hear!

[@scottibass]

I'm super impressed by your presentation of the bikes. And your badass riding improvement in such a short time

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you so much!

[@Jacob99174]

Really good review! Fezzari nailed so many of their bikes

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@mountaingoat8788]

Aprils riding style is Looking sweet!! so cool to see the progress.. hope you both have a good weekend

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you! P

[@Drekrystle]

You guys are the reason my husband built us a wheelie stand! So many great videos & now I want a Fezzari! We are in Boise area currently. We def need to check out some riding places!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Glad our videos help 😊

[@TheNextAdventureWeTri]

I like the Signal Peak! I think it can do everything

[@allydidier791]

The Delano is on my shortlist of bikes to try before upgrading! I also love the fact that it can take 2 water bottles in the main triangle

[@AprilRideMTB]

Awesome, yes that is a major plus! Since they are customer direct, I suggest finding a festival that they demo at or if you happen to live in salt lake, you can demo from their office. If you are brave enough to just commit, they do have a 30 day return. We committed to switching without even riding them and just went off of the opinion of our friends.

[@allydidier791]

@@AprilRideMTB Yeah I remember you guys saying that! I live in Reno, NV and have been wanting to go out to SLC for sometime to explore the city and it's trails so yeah possibly I'll demo from their shop when I go visit!

[@JoelZieve]

Fezzari rocks. Great bikes, awesome pricing, amazing customer service and support!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Agreed!

[@douglaskaye1395]

Sweet bikes yes 12’ drop the hammer. You rocked going off it too!!! Thanks for sharing the information.

[@AprilRideMTB]

I’m surprised I guessed right! Thanks for confirming 😊

[@kipholscher1812]

I have a Delano Peak being built now. I hope this Utah weather clears up soon.

[@natehendricksen3338]

Great review. Those bikes look awesome. I second the amazing progress April has made. Love y'alls program.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@fouglasdir]

I've had the La Sal Peak since 2020 and love it! Thanks for the review!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Awesome! P

[@wardwillis9127]

Always a great hang on this channel. Shred on, April! 🤘

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thanks a ton!

[@PVVI2015]

Excellent presentation April!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@thebrewgeek]

Dang, how did I not realize you were on a Fezzari?! I was choosing between La Sal and Delano and went with a Delano. Mainly b/c around here, every foot of downhill is earned with a foot or more of uphill. I have zero regrets. The Delano has been amazing!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Great to hear!

[@HelpfulPlez]

The whips! Awesome!! Also hope a video is planned about your Whistler trip, looks so fun!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yes we should have a few videos from whistler!

[@sergiomtb55]

Love the review. Not too geeky for me, but well informed.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Glad to hear!

[@KevinT3141]

Nice review, and looks like you're really having fun with them! I'll be in Idaho for snowboarding in January, but Schweitzer is about 8 hours from Boise so I guess I won't be stopping by to say hi...

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you, that sounds like it will be a great trip!

[@paulmca9731]

Amazing progress on your skills, well done. Oh and the bikes look great too !

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you very much!

[@jamesconnell323]

Kyle and April are so sweet, 9 out of 10 Dentists agree, watching their videos could give you cavity.😮 Or simply helpful Pearls of Mountain Bike Wisdoms. 😊

[@rwent1]

I'd never even thought much about Fezzari bikes before until your vids. Schwalbe tires, either. I'm going to have to look closer at these. Nice job showing them off. I'm your same height so I always seem to be right in that Small-Med break so great to hear which you prefer.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you and glad to provide you with some helpful info!

[@darrinkulyk9560]

Excellent Review 😎 Will see you 2 At Whistler Next Season most Likely 😀

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you, will definitely be at Whistler again next year!

[@mrsmith4662]

Now those seem two terrific purpose built bikes; somewhat beats my Saracen hard tail we've had for years.

[@alexford5214]

Great seeing your latest videos! I will say this, you totally shred now! Even your wheelies are super impressive. Keep up the great work! Can you say what’s different than your Niner WFO 9 RDO versus your new La Sal Peak?

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you! I feel like the La Sal is easier to pedal, it might be due to the seat angle being more upright or maybe just the geometry as a whole. It is lighter and feels more playful. Also it is built to allow a mullet option, we still did it on the WFO, but it wasn’t made to do that.

[@garzzagear4719]

nice bikes! I want to try a la sal, seems like the ticket for a big bike that can do a bit of everything. Do you still run cushcore in all your tires?

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yes still running cushcore

[@TheSlaughterboyz]

il have 1 look awesome so jealous

[@aaronburela432]

Beautiful bikes 😍

[@schwangster]

Bellingham/Squamish! My old neighbourhood. Must have been a blast. When can we see the videos?

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yes it was so much fun! Videos will trickle in 😊

[@Tabbyf]

Impressive Wheelie! Frame geometry definitely is a big factor in bike handling. I'm jealous.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@OnRappel]

Awesome video April. Regarding the bikes, I think the elephant in the room is that SunTour suspension. CF frame, XTR RD and SunTour suspension????

[@AprilRideMTB]

But have you tried sr suntour suspension? I have had no problems with it and I’m only progressing with it, Kyle’s won 3 enduro championships with it, it’s good enough to win rampage and I’m sure there are tons more stats I’m not aware of. Just curious what’s wrong with the suspension in your eyes?

[@123ilovemountainbike]

very nice bike,, this is may dream bike,, I wish

[@borjalpze]

I do love your videos, starting to become a wheelie master thanks to you both! btw, which is that blue bike stand? looks great! cheers!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you! It’s the feedback scorpion stand, it’s 20% off for Labor Day on Jenson USA here’s a link 😊 jenson.sjv.io/NkB9EK

[@borjalpze]

@@AprilRideMTBthanks for your reply! keep up doing such great videos! cheers from Spain!

[@ls66]

That was a good review. April you’re killing it! You’ve come such a long way as a presenter and a rider. Really cool. I have a question though would you be able to ride the Delano in the bike parks as well?

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you! Honestly it depends on the park. I could ride it at our local parks if I wanted to and a few resorts I went to in Utah (deer valley and park city mountain). It just depends on how chunky the trails get, how fast of a rider you are and if you plan on going big or keeping your wheels closer to the ground. Also it might make the riding a little less fun or more tiring than with more suspension. If you only rode some mellow park a few times a year, then it would probably be fine.

[@ls66]

@@AprilRideMTB thanks for the response guys. I ask because I just bought a Santa Cruz Hightower and previously had a Tallboy that I was bottoming out the suspension everywhere. I haven’t had that happen yet with the new bike and was thinking I might try mountain creek with it. You guys are the best. Take care.

[@travisreed5965]

Another Wonderful Episode And Dynamite Review - Congrats Cheers P.S. Yo Mr Kyle

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you 😊

[@vanBombi]

Great review April. Any idea what's the name of those bike stands you use?

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yes they are the Feedback Sports scorpion stands and they are 20% off this weekend on Jenson USA ! 🥳 here’s a link jenson.sjv.io/NkB9EK

[@vanBombi]

@@AprilRideMTB thanks so much for detailed info :) wish you all the best, you rock! 👌

[@64chrisg]

Was looking at Fezzari last year when bike shopping. I was looking for something in between the Delano and the La Sal. I ended up with a local brand (Foes Mixer) but looking back could have got the Delano and spec'd it up a bit. Maybe for my E-bike :) Looking for one soon.

[@AprilRideMTB]

We love their e-bike too! Kyle is planning on doing a timp peak review 😊

[@gnmatsu]

Thanks!

[@invisibleazn9330]

its crazy to see how good April is on the bike now.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@hrbetty1]

I’ve been riding a medium ripmo and want something smaller, lighter, and more agile. I like the Revel Rail, but wonder if I really need all that travel - thinking I could lighten it up going to a 150. I was really interested in the Delano but the rear shock was too small for the riding I do. How did you go about changing that rear shock? I have heard that you shouldn’t go up in size on rear shock.

[@soar2779]

Is it the teacher, the rider, or the combo of both? Great progress April!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!

[@JeffPratt4insurance]

XTR brakes with a Suntour fork? That doesn't seem right. I've only seen Suntour forks on really low end bikes. How does that fork compare to others you have used? Oh, and your skills have improved 1k%, you are killing it!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Maybe because suntour has low and as well as high end suspension? We use their higher end suspension. We love it and it handles everything we need it to. Kyle won 3 enduro championships on it, it’s won rampage and a ton of other stats. Thank you!

[@sebastianluptak433]

Hi I am curious about that shock layout on la sal because shock mounting is different on your la sal than on the one that is sold. That make me curious if it is some preproduction sample that will be released or is just custom frame for ypu and race team that use that shock layout too. Thaks for the answer✌️

[@AprilRideMTB]

Great question! I never even noticed before you asked, but there is a good answer. On the small La Sal’s the shock mount is on the down tube because of fitment reasons but it still has the same kinematic. But on medium large and XL the shocks mounts to the top tube.

[@barkingmadman1169]

Thanks for the review. Your mullet, is that frame built ONLY for 27.5, or is it sized so that you can put a 29 if you want? I want a mullet sized exclusively for 27.5 in the rear... a dedicated mullet. For me, if the rear is sized big enough for 29 then the geometry is still basically a 29er. The chainstay is still large, for example, and I still have a hard time getting my butt backward over the axel far enough to manual properly. It's the curse of being a smaller guy with 29 inch wheels, there are certain geometry realities that cannot be overcome.

[@AprilRideMTB]

The La Sal has the option to have 27.5 or 29! The gold La Sal that I show at the end has 29 for both wheels, although I would still rather have a mullet mainly due to my height

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome bike s

[@mountaingoat8788]

Dang my head has been in the clouds. iv never heard of this company until you guys But they look sick and Pricing is not bad at all Seams good..

[@AprilRideMTB]

Glad to help you learn about them, we have so many friends that ride them now!

[@archie68x]

What’s happened to Kyle is he coming back ?? 🤔

[@forest_357]

How does Fezzari compare to Niner? or is it just sponsorship thing.. seems weird to go from niner to fezzari if you had a choice..

[@AprilRideMTB]

Most of my impressions are a comparison to Niner since that was mainly the only bike I’ve ridden before. I really feel like my riding has improved a ton this year since switching and I’m just loving it and Kyle is too. The geometry is really nice, they all pedal so well and they feel lighter.

[@AdventureAndy208]

Does SR Suntour have a duel crown for the La Sal so you can pretend to be Kurtis Downs?

[@AprilRideMTB]

Haha yes of course! I know he had or has a fezzari build with dual crown and coil shock sr suntour suspension.

[@RealMTBAddict]

A small frame with 29" wheels makes no sense. I see short people on big wheel bikes and they don't look very comfortable. 26" wheel bikes with a long reach are better than any 29" bike. My 26" hardtail steel bike is almost as long as most full suspensions, with a 303mm BB height. When I see FS bikes their BB is very high causing instability on fast downhill sections. Bike makers are making the wrong bikes and sadly consumers are buying them up

[@AprilRideMTB]

I find that it is ok on shorter travel bikes, even on the Delano it is ok for me. It does have a benefit too on cross country to roll faster. But I did stick to 27.5 when I was learning as we felt it was better for a beginner at my height.

[@RealMTBAddict]

@@AprilRideMTB I don't understand the "rolling faster" concept. Bikes will travel as fast as you pedal, and your skills help navigate obstacles.
