[@connorcampbell144]

The power metal intro was amazing. Metal all the way

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

Heartily agree! 🤘

[@connorcampbell144]

@@kiltymacbagpipe Glad to see we have a little metal/bike community here!

[@lewisatkinson7277]

What an absolutely beautiful bike!! 🤘🤘 I love Connor's directness and no-nonsense reasoning behind his set-up.

[@jenmanacsa3174]

Metal intro was insane. Perfect for that bike! 😎👌🏻

[@HelplmAlive]

Love these pro bike checks.

[@Cheapsh0t247]

I really like Connors attitude to riding, little fuss, quality strong products, and then just let riding speak for itself.

[@billybopbasher]

Completely missed a trick there by NOT calling that the Kona Fearon🧐😂

[@LowBr4in]

love these bike check series!

[@aaronkymble5081]

Gorgeous bike. And it was nice hearing from Conner. Also great to see Kona represented somewhere, love my Kona bike. Thank you

[@bjornzimmermann6554]

Finally, the right music for mountainbiking at the beginning :-)

[@utsabgopali162]

More of these intro theme please

[@MrGrayFox0]

This bike brings me back to a video idea of a carbon handlebar special. It would be really interesting to bring all the safety aspects to the riders out there (Installation, maintaining, mounting of components). Because I think the GMBN- channel is the main platform to search for technical infos.

[@sanabibimtb]

Nice bike! Great video as always, really informative, brilliant stuff dude and I look forward to seeing your next video! Thank you all!❤️

[@Santacruz-jim]

Loving all these bike checks

[@gmbntech]

More to come!

[@sionjones1675]

Very nice bike. It's really interesting how there's very different approaches to speccing and setting up Enduro race bikes, whereas the general "winning formula" seems to be more understood for XC and DH. Great stuff, a very interesting time in MTB tech.

[@radost0514]

ty you make great bike checks! hope you continue ! and i like that you ask them the frame size and how tall they are !

[@owenmudie9377]

So good to see a local lengend on the show great video

[@walterbrown6388]

keep 'em coming.

[@charlie9ine]

I’ve ridden Kona for years. Great bikes. The Coiler was my favourite. It got stolen and I had to replace it. I got a generous assessment. I went to my bike shop expecting to leave with another Kona. I ended up on a Cube. I love Cube. They are very underrated.

[@oldmangnar6541]

Rad set up!!

[@rayred74]

love Kona's - maybe I will go back to them once I am done with Santa Cruz

[@crazytrainrc6634]

Been on Kona's since 2000, bought a Tracer and sold it after a month to go back to Kona

[@arloridesbikes9921]

he rides it hard in radelaide🤙🤙

[@v88dicky32]

This bike is the successor to my Process 165. If I start saving now, I’ll get one in about 5 years 🤣

[@endianAphones]

The full suspension Honzo ESD.

[@shredthetrack6858]

The Bike is amazing! And super cool that he dont Cares about sag e.g and is super fast

[@MicaelRenner]

Im waiting for Martin Maes bike check

[@flashman2008]

It'll be a long wait... Nobody seems to be allowed anywhere near the new GT bikes 🤫

[@balazsgalambos4458]

Awesome video,what a bike. For the height and weight is it just me that tyre pressure is way too high? Especially with inserts 25/27 psi. Sure Connor knows best,just got me thinking. Anyway,epic bike,thx for sharing

[@TTalksVA]

guys can we get a video with blake messing about with forks to see what the maximum amount of suspension you can get on a bike, just like with that handlebar video

[@balazsgalambos4458]

What pedal are they pls? Most importantly 👍

[@jeffv.akaonsjeffke9865]

Nice to see a kona, not much arround over here in spain. They have lost popularity for no reason. In the 90-00 there were a lot more arround.

[@komoonkh]

Because they were pushing the boundaries of freeride bikes. Very important brand imho. Without Kona, there will be no enduro bikes now.

[@crazytrainrc6634]

2000 to 2005 ever bike shop in Whistler used Kona's for their rentals. Plus they were the NWD videos!

[@allanbuchan6947]

Sorry Doddy , it's " Insert " not "Inzert" .

[@ridemx323]

What’s the spacer on the shock for??

[@jasoncross6151]

Lovely bike but the mechanic slipped up on rear tyre to valve alignment, can’t imagine how that would affect the ride 😉

[@galenkehler]

Man after my own heart, static flat ground sag measure is meaningless.

[@treyelefsen1689]

Up the south aussies

[@kevinmartinlacson4205]

dat chris king hubs...

[@ChrisKim-eo9ku]

I can't tell if I'm looking at the bike crooked or the head angle just seems extreme

[@crazytrainrc6634]

63.5°

[@Johnnydodgin]

Toddler having emergency wee behind a tree in the background 😳😆

[@bobothericefarmer1878]

E

[@stevep641]

Is this all gmbn is now enduro? And pro bikes majority of people watching could never own

[@jokermtb]

Seems like he’d enjoy vibrocore

[@flashman2008]

I want to say "that's what she said!", but it doesn't really work 🙃

[@hugodenouden4989]

I think that lady is pregnant. Or isn't she?

[@th_js]

To be honest, the heavy metal intro was quite awkward
