I Tried To Find The Best MTB Hardtail In The World. (Full Season)

[@CT-Training]

I have the 2023 trek Rascoe 7. Love it. I just switched the bars to PNW bars with a slight higher rise. Works great for jumping and flow

[@lostman65]

i ride a 2017 chameleon. this thing has gone through so many revisions that i am never bored. right now it’s super aggressive with a mx wheel sizing and a 160mm fox float.

[@TomCollins-c4h]

Awesome series. I don't think even pinkbike goes this deep lol. Thanks for the fun times you definitely put in a lot of effort and hard work.

Pinkbike isn't the same without Mike Levy.

[@TomCollins-c4h]

I will miss him, wont be the same. He made everything a must watch.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Thanks Pierce! I really enjoyed it too

[@camdeocampo7368]

As an ex-trek mechanic at a trek dealer your assumptions about trek is true. They are so concerned with selling in volume that their bikes often come in requiring some serious maintenance to be sellable. But their frames are always super tough. Furthermore, Trek’s model for selling bikes in a store is also oriented to get people to buy quickly which I think leads people into getting the wrong size.

[@gaming._.69o]

Can you do a review on the cannondale habit ht frame i would love to see your thoughts on the frame. And once again this was a great video

[@justinmiller1535]

This series was a blast to watch. I’m a scout owner but I did like the Bird as well. It sounds like I might need to pick up some Berd wheels if they make that much of a difference in ride quality. Keep up the good work.

[@ndisa4444]

Id love to see the Marin San Quentin Frame tested if you decide to ever continue this.

[@danielvelasquez7708]

It was definitely a series to remember, followed by the ending part of the hardtail quest which I loved seeing. Evans since Marin announced the Marin San Quentin 29 inch version would you do a video about the bike, since Matt Jones, and would you be willing to try it out.

[@BoshJeach]

Loved this series! For the steel one next, please shoot a message to Radical Bike Co about their new Grim Ripper! They're trying to get the word out about the brand and the ripper looks like a better version of the Big Al, but also steel. Stoked for future content, cheers!

[@EvansMTBSaga]

I'll check into that!

That or the chili dog! Lol

[@Philoniousmonk]

I have the Radical chili dog and a Stanton Switchback Ti…both amazing.

[@FrozenCrapholeDweller]

I was bummed to find out that all their frames are sold out and their complete builds are crap Shimano Deore. Pass

[@joebikes]

What a fantastic series! Enjoyed every video 🤠 Man I am so stoked for the steel series 🔥there are so many small brands making steel hardtails. I hope to see at least one or two from a US, UK, or European small brand. I would recommend the Ferrum NVHT for a US frame, the Pole hardtail which is made in Finland, and you’ve got to try out a Marino which are made in Peru (very inexpensive for a handmade frame). Man… did I say I was exited?! 🤜

[@palashpulsar]

Pole is from Finland, not Poland 🙂. However their Taival hardtail frame is made in Taiwan.

[@joebikes]

@@palashpulsar whoops! I will correct my comment, thank you 👍

[@Ragnarok20854]

Pässilä rämäkkä is very good hardtail from Finland.

[@dougcrenshaw5687]

Hard tails are awesome but I prefer them in 27.5 & love my custom Marley. It’s more focused on what it does great & not trying to do it all. If I want 29er then I’m going full suspension with my custom built Izzo. No sense in blurring the lines. Nimble & clickable on flow = 27.5 hard tail & 29er full sus for the rest. Keep it up! I’m curious to see how ur rsd experiments go. Heading back to Bentonville the 2nd week of Oct, maybe we’ll see u on the trails.

This is by far my favorite video of yours! Even though I already have my dream hardtail built, I still enjoy seeing and hearing about all the other makes, models, and your comparisons of them. The trials you put them through have also been super fun! Cheers Evan!!

[@ethanjolly3686]

Hey Evan! I actually preferred the chest cam and front camera setup more than the multiple angles. seeing the outside view of the jumps is cool, but I like hearing your live commentary more on the chest cam. You definitely seem more relaxed and natural without someone else filming you. Hope my ramblings helps you out! Also thanks for doing this series its been super helpful in my own research into finding a good hardtail. I currently ride a giant talon I've jerry-rigged to be somewhat decent through some pretty major upgrades. But I've decided its time to let go of the money pit and I'm getting ready to dive into a serious bike. I hope the next season of hardtail party includes some steel framed bikes. I really like birds steel frames. Anyways thanks and ride safe!

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Thanks Ethan! I've messed with a giant talon and it's a good entry level bike to tinker with! Best of luck finding a good Hardtail and thanks for the feedback on the chest cam, I feel the same way

Loved the series, you did a great job. I’m a hardtail only guy. I ride a custom frame up built chromag stylus. I ride it everywhere, local trails, downhill parks and even the skatepark and local dirt jumps. So awesome to see hardtail getting some love in the hobby right now. If you wanted to check out the stylus or any other bike from chromag, I’m sure you’d love them. Keep rocking and rolling man!!

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Thanks Ethan! Hardtail only is bold but I've definitely considered it!

[@OriginalTrev]

Absolutely the best comparison video ever produced...I must say, of all the big brands through the years, Trek always seemed to ride heavier than they actually weigh compared to Specialized which seems more compliant, nimble and easier to manual.

Hell ye Craig, awesome video. I need to get out there again soon, so fast and flowy 👌 Keep up the good work mate and never stop shedding

[@michaelsturgeon5210]

To be honest this series convinced me to chop in my 2022 ragley big al and go for the 2023 🤓 all the things you said about the original ragley i was also thinking , low stack short reach steep head angle , i also ride a nukeproof reactor so going from one bike to the other these things were all really noticeable. Ive had the 2023 just under a week now and absolutely love it so thanks for the indepth ride review 😎👍

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Great review series. Frame/bike compliance is influenced by the actual frame size (larger frames will be softer than the same model in a smaller sizes) and rider size (larger/heavier and/or riders who mash will need a stiffer frame).

[@chriss8375]

It's the berd wheels! It does really help level compliance for all frames. And yes tire psi can be huge!

this series was fun. I would like to recommend dartmoor primal for the next series. cheaper and more durable than most of the reviewed frames.

[@nathanaelsenn225]

Ride a San Quentin! They now sell a 29er one too!

[@hardmtnbiker]

This would be interesting if you used Ti hardtail vs budget steel frames. I’m sure you could find some $4K Ti frames v/s $400 steel frames. I would also recommend wider rims for your hardtail’s. I30mm is minimal, i35 or i40 for 29x2.6” tires. Personally I use 780mmx31.8 bars or my hardtail 35mm is too stiff for me a small guy 150 pounds. I love the feel of a carbon bar that has some compliance.

Wow. Must be hard work making such a long video. Very nice work Evan!!!

Thats friggin awesome Evans,,, thank you so much for putting this together and taking your time and efforts too perform all that work... obviously your old school bmx,,, im a xc runner/ up hill mountain bike dude at 60 years young... i swith over too a Giant xc SLR which is the lightest in its class in aluminum at 26 ish lbs running tubeless 29'ers it would fit in between all your numbers some where,,, I'm the same as you and other... Make the bike fit our ergonomics ,,, i find that slack comes from wheel size,,, tires,,, spokes and rims,,, air pressure... Wheel combinations make or break my rides... i like medium pressure tires for long steep Rocky climbs ,,, more air pressure for distance ,,, less pressure for decents... basically,,, medium/ low for all round ... i really enjoyed your take on this... excellent class on your part... my f.s. is great for mountain bike parks,,, my xc hard tail is my main all rounder for the steep climbs on the Rock Mountain Range in Western Canada... I can't wait too see more of your videos... Don

[@thesnipecatcher116]

Only here for the great content as I don’t see me ever buying an aluminum hardtail again. Just never rode an aluminum bike I loved. Which reminds me I need to sell the 2022 Big Al that’s sitting in my garage! Ordered a very boutique, custom geometry steel hardtail. Most comfortable hardtail I’ve ever owned, but I can’t exactly say it was money well spent :) Thanks for the awesome channel!

[@mythotical406]

I have been budget building a Redline D600. The geometry specs are crazy but it climbs like a goat, shreds singletrack and flows over chunk. I'm 6'1 and it's a 17". The top tube length is 595! The seat tube angle is 73.3, the head tube angle is 71.3 and the BB hight is 309 and the chainstay is 450. I'd love to see you max build one. I love how nice this bike rides for something that was marketed for entry-level riders.

[@cheesychester9647]

Try the Roscoe medium please

[@roryennis96943]

For steel check out the Kona Honzo ESD for a budget friendly mass produced frames, maybe a Chromag Rootdown too. To go along with some of the small batch producers

[@braddailey2249]

What would you change about the Roscoe to make it better?

[@rofferdal]

Very cool. I would personally love to try the Nukeproof, since I probably would love the more compliant frame compared to the RSD, but it is hard to find in Norway, so I will just keep searching.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

The Bird Forge 29 was compliant. You might be able to get it there

[@GTJUSTY]

Awesome video! My son and I really enjoyed watching it.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Thanks Justin! It was a ton of work and I'm glad it came together for the full 2+ hour of fun!!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Geometry: Seat tube angle is a factor, but really does not make any difference if the seat position is the same distance to the center of the crank. Head tube angle affects steering and stability. Stem length also affects steering feel, (not sure how to describe it yet though, but shorter stems I think tend to turn quicker, as there is less movement per degree of wheel turn). Then you have top tube length and chain stay length. Top tube length can be offset by steering stem length, and like the seat tube angle, the chain stay length can be offset by the seat position (forward or rearward). With different length stems, and the seat adjustable in relation to the pedals, you can make different frames feel quite similar, I would say.

[@iaroslavnykonenko2904]

Love the test and video! Would be interesting your opinion on GT Zascar Expert. It has interesting quite unique frame IMHO?

[@BIIIKES]

If you're 5'8, you should've been sized with a Medium Trek. M/L is for 5'10" and up. Matty doesn't like feeling cramped on his bikes according to some of his videos, and likes a longer reach. The size chart on their site is spot on.

[@fourocker]

100% agree, I'm 5'8" and my local shop (not a Trek shop but a Trek dealer among others) fitted me up with a medium Roscoe, it's a perfect fit ,climbing and descending are both equally balanced in the ride feel and I couldn't be happier, love this bike, ride it anywhere all day, hardtail all the way now, I prefer it over the dual suspension I used to have, so connected and direct with the trail.

[@dctPL]

I hope you guys are right about the bike size. I happen to be 5'8" and just bought a Trek Roscoe 9 size M. It's still in the shop (it's waiting for some parts to be delivered and later adjustments) so I haven't ridden it yet. My first REAL MTB since mid 90's.

[@fourocker]

@@dctPL it'll be a very different ride experience from a mid 90's unit (for the better) I also have a mint mid 90's GT Ricochet which works perfectly but feels super sketchy compared to the Roscoe....in fact my dual suspension was a 2005 Specialized S-works Stumpjumper FSR which was an extremely good, reliable bike but the Roscoe still feels much better overall because of the modern geometry done properly with 29 inch wheels. You can experiment with the roll adjustment of your handlebars to taylor it somewhat, I have and it makes quite a difference to the feel, I've ended up with it set with it rolled back slightly to increase the back sweep and have virtually no upsweep, that actually shortened the reach slightly and let's me weight the front wheel a little better.

[@dctPL]

@@fourocker Tbf I cat't remember the feel of the bike I had in mid 90's. I was a kid back then. The bike was some Bridgestone construction. I only remember that I liked riding it. I lost that bike (my father's fault) and pretty much stopped riding untill very recently. I will definitely experiment with settings. I have already been thinking about getting a lil shorter stem and replacing the handlebar with something with greater rise. Your suggestion may also work. I will give it a try👍Thx

[@GorgeyWoofy-jb3ip]

I'm 5'11and half I use L or XL frames can't use small or medium frames feels like your riding a kids and I like 29' or 27.5 inch wheels

Idk if low bb helps on jumps but higher handlebars do and with the low bb your handlebars are relatively higher to your stance even if the stack is the same.

[@robertmoore119]

I concur that you should have ridden a medium Trek. That size choice is one of your controls, like a science experiment. That said, It's great to hear thoughts on all of those different bikes. As you say, it really does come down to the trails you like and your riding style. If you want to carry a lot of speed, a longer bike is good. If you want agility, a shorter bike is better. Short chainstays help to get over the back tire, that can help with moving the bike around in the air, or keeping traction on the back tire for climbing. But the reach can also affect that. There is a saying about being on or in the bike. Basically the difference between a 27.5 or 29 in bike. So I think for my style, the Banshee would be awesome! But it suits my riding style. I also like climbing, so a high saddle, or forward helps to keep weight forward. When climbing steep trails, swinging weight forward keeps the front tire down. But short stays keep weight over the back tire. The down side, is that without the correct reach, some will feel cramped. Not to say that's how the banshee feels. Geo and rider preference.

[@The_LeeB]

Great series but I feel like you did an injustice to the Trek Roscoe. From the review it sounds like the bike was too big. I believe you even mentioned this a couple times. Would really like to see another review with the medium size.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

There was just so many factors that pointed to not testing it. The regular medium was 440mm reach, and I figured out that 440 is just too small. The ML that I tested was 455, and the frame that won was 450. So it wasn't too far off. Plus all the other talking points I mentioned about Trek in the post episode commentary

[@The_LeeB]

@@EvansMTBSaga thanks for the reply! As a Roscoe owner that downsized I’m a little disappointed but understand. Maybe you could do a review on RAD sizing based on the book Dialed be Lee McCormack.
