[@323johnnybravo]

Trek must be super excited, they now have their newest design to copy.

[@carlosburbano4191]

[@bikingwithryan5968]

There frame will snap tho 😂🤷‍♂️

[@edrcozonoking]

@@bikingwithryan5968 nah...it's not a Specialized.

[@bigben8865]

Hahaha

[@James-mw6to]

This comment didn’t age well. (The new trek Fuel Ex

[@PowerTime847]

Straight up, no BS review. Well done!

[@mtb-mag]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

[@beerenmusli8220]

I really like this Review. It puts empathis on personal experience rather than pretending that a personal opinion is an objective truth.

[@kylecomstock2426]

El Burro Loco? Silver without cushcore or DH casing is risky business. Really like the desert brown colored frame and the review!!

[@Xianne_Rhianne]

Following the trend for Enduro: Forbidden,Deviate,P train,Devinci,Norco shore & range,Cannondale jekyll, GT force, what brand will be the next?....

[@dantindley5181]

Hope has a prototype high pivot bike

[@JZMartinez]

Thanks for the review of the base model. These bikes often get overlooked at launch. Sounds like the bike is more plow than pop. Was it stuck to the ground or still easy to get in the air? Cheers! 👍

[@iancollins473]

Yes, we're always stoked to cover a broad range of pricepoints - not just flagship bikes. I would say that it definitely leans more toward plow than pop, however it is quite nimble and I wouldn't read into that too much. It doesn't "feel" like a ton of bike. I'm still dialing in the suspension, but my initial instincts are that it's still pretty easy to get off the ground. Put it this way, it definitely doesn't wallow in the suspension.

[@vostock0998]

looks like the smaller brother of the fury

[@finroddd]

Hi there - I have noticed the chainstay on the non-drive side is clamped to the axle with a bolt. Don't you think this is a weak spot in the construction?

[@TivonSanders]

It's a crazy world we live in where a near $4,000 bike is a "budget" bike. LOL

[@cwalt74]

nice work. Think Eddie Masters runs this as a mullet

[@bikingwithryan5968]

Do you mean wyn?

[@thebluelion3337]

What happened to the video quality around 2:53 ?

[@iancollins473]

Thanks for the heads up - we'll look into that.

[@george_milanos]

This is the large frame you said, which is you height and select the large size? Thanks, keep going the good job 👏

[@mtb-mag]

Thanks! Yes, a large frame. I'm 6' tall on the dot.

[@finroddd]

@@mtb-mag hi there - some bikes feel smaller than they really are. is this one of them? I am 171cm and wonder is size L will be probably too big?

[@pointeddown]

More indepth review coming? Is it a heavy bike?

[@duncanh6045]

Do you think with the steeper seat tube angle this bike could be for trails with 50/50 climb and descend? Or is it more just a downhill bike? It has loads of travel which would be nice

[@mtb-mag]

The steep seat angle and neutral pedaling make longer days much easier from a body positioning and efficiency standpoint. However, it is a bit portly...It has more of a "long grind to the top, then rip a long descent" feel to it than it does for undulating terrain.

[@lousanchez2470]

At 5’10 do you think this bike would be too big for me?

[@kopedavid5919]

How much does the bike weigh?

[@traianmaglas1681]

I am intrested in buying this bike but i’m only 62 kg,i ride hard and i would put a cushcore and i’m worried about the wheight.Is it that heavy?

[@mtb-mag]

It's all relative...It's a solid pound or two heavier than most due to build build solid and having a high pivot. Remember, you'll always feel rotational weight more than anything.

[@Photosbydrew]

LBS only has this build, don't think ill go for it wish they were getting the better build. Really want a ZEB in 2022

[@iancollins473]

Understandable - the ZEB's chassis is a bit more in line with the bike's capabilities. Bikes are hard to come by these days - you could always upgrade later?

[@Photosbydrew]

@@iancollins473 I just went with the forbidden dreadnought slx build which has a zeb and super good spec overall for the price

[@bigben8865]

When can I get my hands on one of these?

[@mtb-mag]

In this day and age that's a great question!

[@bigben8865]

Bro I found one!!! Just put down a deposit.. stoked af. I'm in Brissy Australia and had difficulty finding one locally, found a retailer all the way in Adelaide who will freight one to me.

[@kyleduerr9813]

This new force may be my next bike. This frame looks stout! I'm a thicc boi..lol! I think a XL for me at 6'3in.255 ibs. Can take my abuse.

[@iancollins473]

It definitely seems pretty burly front to back. Put it this way - I don't get the feel that it's fragile...

[@edrcozonoking]

Really? 10mm difference in chain stays makes that noticeable a difference? 🤔

[@garypostell5268]

A 3800$ budget bike ? Pitiful

[@iancollins473]

When you factor in that prices on everything are up, and the fact that it's a carbon frame, that might help put things in perspective.

[@edrcozonoking]

$4k is a bike for someone without a budget. If someone has to budget the price of any bike then it's to expensive for them.

[@GROGU123]

If you consider the price of the Deviate and Forbidden high pivot frames alone, being around $3300. Then yes $3800 for a full bike is a budget bike.
