Just finished my my Axum DP (med) build and would like to say thanks so much for all your interesting, informative and entertaining videos! You really helped me make a sound purchase that I'm very satisfied with. Ended up staying with tubes and installed a rear Tannus insert, wheels, seat and dropper are OEM. Followed most of your upgrades from to phase one so I feel it's capable, trail worthy steed that I can progress my skills on feeling confident and safe. They rebranded a local bike store to a Trek shop with tons of inventory (now) so it was interesting to compare the build to their line-up. The Schwinn seems positioned somewhere between the Rossco 6 ($1199.99) and 7 ($1899.99 - 2023 prices) respectively. My build was a bit pricey since I had most of the work done by professionals but I did source the parts myself. In comparison I still feel I was able to achieve good value for money, it was a really fun and a great way to learn about the bike and components. Thanks again Kev and Happy Holiday!

The Walmart app will indicate “In Stock” and they never have it. I’m super excited about this new version of the Axum Medium. I rarely buy new bikes, because there is a lot of riding that can be accomplished with what is available on the used market, but that will change when these appear in stock.

Kev, I know you do a lot of bike reviews, but I was wondering if you had a video that shows options for any bike, and why or why not the option is good. For instance, you mention things like lever shifters as apposed to twist shifters, hydraulic vs mechanical brakes, and cassettes in the rear gears. Having a video of the component break down and advantages or disadvantages would be a good for someone new to mountain biking, or someone rediscovering the hobby.

I have an old schwinn hurricane (no suspension with gravel bike tread) that I take on hard pack trails and asphalt bike trails. Other than the occasional root and rock … it does fine. Now I purchased this dp Axum and going try it. I hope it’s front fork and extra weight doesn’t wear me down. Also concerned about the less nimble 29rs compared to the 27s. It will be interesting. Questioning if I should lighten the weight of the Axum dp as a project or look into the mongoose xr and try to lighten it up as a project. To have a full suspension bike for once might be interesting compared to the hard tail Axum. Too many choices. Which one (the moo goose or the Axum) would be lighter weight if I made them a project bike following your videos?

Can you please share the reach measurement of the medium frame, as well as last year's large frame?this is arguably the most important measurement concerning modern geometry. A modern trail bike with a medium frame typically has at least 430 mm of reach, and the large, 445 mm. It's quite easy to accurately figure out if you simply stand the bike with the front tire touching a wall, keep the bike plumb, and have a 4 ft level or a smaller level attached to a straight piece of wood, and a tape measure. Thanks, I'm sure a lot of us are wanting to know that figure.

Yes, but the price for this is now on par with bikes from local bike shops, maybe $50-$100 cheaper but you pretty much should take bikes purchased from big box stores to a bike shop to get it looked over anyhow, so there goes your savings. Not all bikes at all Walmarts are assembled well. Heck, not even bikes at the same Walmarts are assembled similarly. Also, something like a Norco Storm 4 has better parts as well for roughly the same price from a local bike shop. If it's a cruiser or a cheap bike then fine, no need to really be careful with the assembly and quality control, but a mountain bike that consumers will actually take on trails...it's worth it to pay $50-$100 more for proper assembly and quality control.

While yes, that’s not exactly what a dropper post is designed for. It’s idea is to drop the saddle out of the way for technical down hill riding so you can shift your weight around over the back tire off saddle without it getting in the way. Generally you won’t even see droppers on hardtails outside of 140+mm hardcore enduro models or full suspension bikes over 115-120mm. While this Schwinn is leaning into modern geometry a near 68 deg 100mm bike is not gonna be a down hill champ to even need a dropper

Schwinn is continuing to impress with these new bikes. The only hangup i have is the continued use of mech disc, but everything else is really incredible. I wonder how much upgrading to a set of entry-level hydro brakes would up the price? The rest of the componentry blows major brands out of the water in terms of value... I'd take this immediately over a similarly priced bike from the big names, as those would probably be running a cheap 3x7, no dropper, and a comparable (if not worse) fork.

Well done kev. You are moving them forward on your own. Good work. I've got several top end bikes but I often do peoples bikes up for them. These cheap bikes are looking like they could be used without upgrades.

I wonder if they plan on having different sizes for the rest of the lineup. The slacker headtube angle was already a standout feature of last year's Axum. Would have loved hydraulic brakes as that's usually one of your first upgrades and adds $150 to the price. Having a real hard time deciding if something like this along with upgrading as I go is better than something like the 2021 Polygon Xtrada 5. The price difference is probably $300 depending on Schwinn selling this for $500, not sure I could fit all the upgrades for the Axum into that budget.

I'm looking at an entry level mountain bike. Recently moved to an area where we have a bike park and trail near our home. Wouldn't mind not going all out on a bike to start but really get a feel and like for it before going all in. That being said, seeing this I really liked the idea of this bike. Is it really a good option? Are the Schwinn, GT, or Trek. Good to start. Or should I try finding a good used bike instead? For that price range. I just don't want to get it and have multiple issues with it. Thanks

If you have a good used mountain bike market in your area that's a good option. Otherwise these are good options too. Just realize they are somewhat limited and you will have to upgrade things. Depending on what you ride will determine what kind of problems you'll experience.

I do not need a new bike. I did some upgrades to a used 2014 Diamondback Mason Comp (a very expensive hardtail at the time) I picked up on the cheap. I love the bike. But the bike trailer I bought (also second hand) is not compatible with a thru-axle and this beautiful new Axum DP might fit the bill perfectly. I was considering the 2020 Axum just because it was beautiful. If it comes in at $500, I’ll be picking it up. But I don’t think I can rationalize it for the $600 since I do still have my 2008 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo (which has never operated correctly, even though the local bike shop in Sacramento said it was “operating normally”...obvious lies). I’m excited to see the release and trying to rationalize the purchase!

Hey just wanted to give a heads up, got my schwinn Axum 2021 in yesterday, Blue Schwinn logo, no DP. I noticed it says " Schwinn Mens M Axum" it says the same thing on a sticker on the frame but no L or M lettering. Top tube comes out to 19 or 20" whatever the boundary is.

Kev, I have a non dp axum large frame I had the rear wheel off and it seems to spin a bit rough I took it apart and regreased but didn't seem to make much of a difference. So my thought was new Bearings but I didn't measure them. Do you know if they are 1/4" rear 3/16 front?

That's really cool to see sized frames hopefully we'll see some of these updates on the 2021 aluminum comp I got on Schwinn's website and they don't show the axum or the aluminum comp or the boundary so I don't know if it's possibly a different website or what that you have to find these on

I sold my Axum a while ago because it was too big. I got an Al Comp and dropped a lot of money to upgrade it. It's an awesome bike and I love riding it, but I live in the high desert in Southern California and I really missed those wide tires on the Axum for these sandy trails. The Al Comp frame can only comfortably fit a 2.5 inch wide tire in the rear. With plus tire bikes being so expensive, I really wish I had held out for this bike instead of jumping on the Comp now.

@@timecost The old Axum which is now listed as a large is a 19" frame. I'm 5'6", I didn't mind the standover height much but the top tube was pretty long. I don't think I ever measured it but even with a 45mm stem and the seat as far forward as I could get it, I felt like I was reaching too much for the bars. I actually managed to return my Al Comp and ended up getting the new Axum DP in medium. It's a 17" frame and perfect for me.
