I’ve been wanting to make a video for ages where I put a more affordable mountain bike to the test. I spend a lot of time riding and working with very expensive bikes and parts, so it’s exciting to try a bike from the other end of the spectrum - an affordable complete hardtail MTB. Dirt jumps, downhill, drop and tricks, all on one bike. This hardtail is special to me as I designed the San Quentin frame with Marin Bikes, and it’s rad. So I found out how far you can push a cheaper complete mountain bike..

Your low budget bike is higher than my high budget 😂 *EDIT* Thanks to my grandparents inheritance I did manage to purchase a “CUBE ANALOG Hardtail” 2021 version in Majority black with blue writing AND it’s the best bike I’ve ever ridden just perfect! Cost £700 from an independent store which is less than RRP I think and I believe you defo don’t need to spend anymore than that whatsoever!! Unless your competing professionally there really isn’t that much difference in quality over 6 700 price range just like guitars which I love too! 🚲 🎸❤️

The way the biking community talks about bikes and the ludicrous over price of them it’s just crazy. For most people £700 is a LOT! Simply no need for the prices of most bikes, a big rip off.

@@jensaugust743 You can create a perfectly great bike for for not much money (Calibre Bossnut). The expensive of a bike is down to a lot of factors that are not directly related to the bike itself - or how 'good' it is. Like all hobbies most people get into a mindset that that they need the latest and the best to enjoy the hobby and it's simply not true. Same deal with guitars. People get obsessed and nerdy and start to justify the expensive to themselves because get they get drawn into that mindset. The manufactures just feed into it and then feed off it = inflated prices. Capitalism I suppose. And im not saying it's necessarily a 'bad' thing. just an observation. : )

Luke Bg true, but those bikes are one and done and unrideable after the session. All it takes is one hard case or nose bomb on the front end and then it’s a cracked frame or blown out fork.

Thanks for the vid Matt! I'm a massive advocate of building and upgrading round a frame. I've still got a Marin B17 triple butted hardtail from 2009 that is still my main bike, and the only thing left on it - that is from the original bike - is the frame, everything else has been upgraded or replaced. The frame is gorgeous, tough as nails and absolutely bombproof (and I'm NOT a gentle rider, which is why I went for a triple butted frame) and an dream to ride even 11 years later.

The San Quentin 1 features a Series 2 aluminum frame, with tapered head tubes, 3D forged drop outs, IS brake mounts, and semi-internal cable routing. The San Quentin 2 and 3 feature Series 3 aluminum frames, with more advanced tube forming, more complex dropouts, post mount disc tabs, full internal cable routing, and a boost 148mm thru-axle From the website

The standard bikes i rent out are 599,- msrp new. With that you get decent shimano deore groupset and a working front fork with lockout on the bars. Pretty much all you need to have loads of fun. They weigh in 12-13 kg's with 29 inch wheels. So that is pretty light and nifty too. Yes i love the look of the 1 by drivetrains. But not only are they expensive to buy. They are with very steep priced rear casettes very expensive too ride.

Were the wheels still round after the day and what were the forks like afterwards?

The forks on that bike would probably blow if you were to keep doing that. The wheels should be fine, but they won't survive a single case.

Oh I guess no XXL , my mistake, but I'm sure if you're no taller than 6'2" you'd be fine. Size charts are just recommendations. I sit in the XL spectrum for the 2016 nail trail but with my shorter legs, I'm super glad I went with a large, on some bikes I personally feel better on a medium at 6'1" (some 29ers & fat/plus bikes

It will take me sometime. Lol. I'm in USA Aberdeen, New Jersey. Keep up the good work with those videos. Looking forward to your new ones. Peace!
