7:05 Love that drift!

[@toptenrick]

I have a 2019 slayer C70 such a beast ;) I ride on Vancouver Island and we’ve got some gnarly trails …. Perfect bike its tougher than me . Cheers great content looking forward to next episode

[@andresdavila4500]

I like that you put the DeVinci Chainsaw, commencal meta and the Cannondale Habit in the same category…

[@thescerigai]

lol the trek slash, pay big bucks for a bike that cant even keep the chain on

[@topchoice1621]

Exactly it’s trash 🚮

[@MBRmagazine]

Yeah, not the introduction Trek wanted. However, we’ll still reserve judgement until we’ve tried one.

[@kevinmabry8422]

Some sus mechanics to be fair. One of the online reviewers owned the fact they messed it up and once it was installed properly it never dropped it again . . .

[@rip.tear.]

@@kevinmabry8422there were many review channels that had the same issue. It’s not a single sus mechanic.

[@topchoice1621]

⁠@@kevinmabry8422stop the nonsense it was more than just one reviewer who had the problem with chain drop and then there’s the regular people who aren’t as popular as some of the bigger channels

[@ajg6118]

I didn’t see the Pivot Switchblade 🤘🏼on the list 🤓 great video still 🤘🏼

[@trekkie1701e]

Really happy with my Commencal tempo, for southeast us trails its plenty of bike. Also, if you email commencal you can swap any color frame in a complete build for a $250 fee.

[@dogsnoop963]

I love my commencal v5 sx.

[@TheCureThatKillz]

It’s crazy to me that you never see Evil bikes on these types of list.

[@nathanielbrice8725]

If you buy an XC bike, is it mandatory to wear Lycra?

[@edwardvanwormer6993]

I just ordered a Marin Alpine Trail Carbon 2. I'm surprised its not on the list with what you get at a reasonable price point.

[@andrewfara71]

Always taking into account your opinions guys! You are going into details and I love that! Have you ever talked about Ghost Riot on your videos? I think traction link is worthy.

[@MBRmagazine]

Thanks! We’ve ridden the Ghost E-Riot and there’s a first ride on our website, but not had a go on the analogue version.

[@vlbz]

3.3k euro for a proper DH bike? How come this is the first time I'm hearing about Rose? Super sweet.

[@dumwee]

I really like Norco just because they actually spec with better suspension on lowest model.

[@theshadow8008]

The title should be the most expensive trail & enduro mtb for 2024....

[@TheNationalTrails]

Likely the Occam SL, if it's actually built to be ridden. I had a fair share of parts shipped from Spain to US for previous Occam. I did not appreciate that the ratio of the damaged parts was close to a 50/50 as far as under-engineering failure vs wear items.

[@17even]

Go with the LT. Better specs

[@thescerigai]

where are all the gearbox bikes??

[@kountification]

What about the Fezzari La Sal Peak? Looks like a great bike but not showcased!!! In your selection, I like the Davinci Chainsaw!

[@MBRmagazine]

I guess we don’t get much exposure to the Fezzari brand here in the UK. Will check them out.

[@xylemrays671]

Why is there never any Giants in these lists?

[@christophersallmann8323]

Because other bikes are better

[@shaunschneeberger6301]

I see a lot of Specialized Enduro copies especially with rear shock placement and storage compartment which is almost a 5 year old design or 4. Purchase a new enduro expert for super discounted price love it its a beast.

[@portugalsud2924]

ANYONE REVIEWING SUNN KERN S1 and SUNN KERN EN S1 ?

[@tomlocke5768]

Sean Connery......you guys still got it!

[@MBRmagazine]

Looking to get an Knight Rider reference in somewhere for you soon Lockey!

[@tomlocke5768]

Looking forward to a futuristic middle squidge development coming from the Knight Industries Two Thousand stable (brainchild of Devon Miles)@@MBRmagazine

[@billjohnson1564]

I suppose you didn’t get the new Scott Ransom in time for this listing

[@MBRmagazine]

We’d already ridden it when we filmed the video, so we couldn’t break the embargo and put it in the list. 👍

[@paramesvaridasa5167]

What about scor 30/40

[@arrang_f3413]

Can you put timestamps and categories on?

[@gregoryvierra6114]

Too difficult for you to FF through a 13 minute video?

[@woduk]

Deviate highlander or ibis hd6 🤔

[@livefreeandshred9818]

Deviate. No question

[@rouxenophobe]

Is there any difference between Trail and Enduro?

[@MBRmagazine]

Mostly the distinction is travel. 140-160mm rear for trail, 160 and above for Enduro. Broadly speaking, but of course there are exceptions. 👍

[@Frorideism]

Hansel, so hot right now

[@Adamas_83]

"Trail and enduro bikes"...You mean "Any bikes we felt like talking about"

[@MBRmagazine]

Some might say the lines between trail and enduro are pretty blurry these days.

[@TheCureThatKillz]

Hahaha I totally agree with your statement. 12:15 Or they should title it “the companies that paid us the most”

[@bermboyz1]

Pole

[@madrx2]

All these Idler gimmicks are amusing.

[@topchoice1621]

The Rocky Mountain slayer is the best bike on this list and just throw the trek slash in the trash 🗑️ 10k bike and can’t keep the chain on foh with the high pivot nonsense

[@MBRmagazine]

We have seen the video with the Slash dropping its chain. Definitely an inauspicious start for that bike.

[@Eric.V.]

That Nicolai looks like a hot mess of unnecessary over engineering and extraness. Maybe if Trek adds a few more idlers the chain will stay on?

[@TheCureThatKillz]

The bikes they choose to include in these types of videos are always from whichever bike manufacturers pay them. Which is bogus.

[@MBRmagazine]

We didn’t receive money from any of the brands to include them in this list.

[@livefreeandshred9818]

New slash sucks

[@dougbowers8759]

None of them. 😴

[@MBRmagazine]

Tough crowd!

[@DB-sd3cw]

How can I filter out British mountain bike content? Shame the UK is polluting this space with their britishness

[@gregoryvierra6114]

Wow

[@PeteMac69]

Maybe you can filter out literate content?👍👍

[@AC-9883]

Deary me, seems my troll filter isn’t on either…

[@DB-sd3cw]

@PeteMac69 sorry I hurt your feelings "bruv" there is simply too much nonsense from the UK flooding youtube's mtb content and brits have a very boring and effeminate way of reviewing things.

[@PeteMac69]

Hurt feelings? I merely made a suggestion on how you could filter for more 'intellect appropriate' content @@DB-sd3cw . You're welcome👍👍
