MY NEW CUSTOM DESIGNED MTB - COULD THIS BE THE BEST BIKE EVER MADE?

My new custom designed MTB - Could this be the best bike ever made? Canyon just launched the Spectral On: Fly which is possibly the worlds lightest e-bike and they gave me a custom painted version to ride hard!
I visited Canyon HQ to build my brand new Spectral ON fly from the ground up and it even has my very own custom colour that I designed, which is so sick because i've never had a custom painted bike before! After building the bike with some great bike maintenance skills we then hit the MTB trails and shred it for the first time. I absolutely fall in love with this bike as it is super easy to move around but also powerful enough to smash endless laps! I personally think this is the best mountain bike ever made! After riding trails we head to Twisted Oaks bike park and see which tricks can be performed, would you ride this??

Best part of Sam building a bike is the “sand it”! You look happy and if anyone deserves a custom painted bike, it’s you!

[@DrydenMarsh]

What about a signature bike............ Canyon where you at?????

[@lightningshredder5605]

​@@DrydenMarshthe Canyon - S.A.M. (Surface to Air Missile) That makes perfect sense!

[@lordirek1]

All I can say is that if I were to pick any rider that should get a custom colorway bike, Sam is the first to pop up in my head. There might be other riders out there that are judged better, but when it comes to pure engagement, entertainment, and "people's champion," Sam Pilgrim is the final boss.

[@SamPilgrim]

Thanks dude!

[@vencygaming9086]

I agree on that Sam is the first to come to entertainment there is people that is good at MTB but they are not as fun to watch and it got some funny bike ride to look at 100% agree he is soo fun to watch ❤

[@Wuppetz]

way too professional for pilgrim builds xD we need curbs, stones and broken bars

[@Freeride_Freaks]

Wuppets bin dein gröster fan dank dir hab ich mtb an gefangt danke bin schon seit anfang dabei

[@bertkreft9689]

thanks to lewi the hero - without your dedicated work and your full physical effort we would only have half as much fun here on KZbin - respect 👍

sam with the file, no way. hell froze over :D

Looks like Canyon has been painting the outside too, It used to be green lol. Sam :"Torque settings? is that a new model" lmao

[@scouseamo7071]

That frame looks mad 😮

[@ashleytombs]

Yes Sam and Lewi New color is absolutely epic and canyon please install a curb for next time Sam visits 😂😂

[@mikeburgh3956]

Only Sam can walk into canyon and build his own bike! Definitely the BEST rider I've ever seen 🤙🏻

[@rustler08]

I used pipe cutters for a bit, but after realizing how much easier and faster the hacksaw with a guide was I ended up tossing them. If you have a good blade it takes a few seconds to do it properly.

[@markuslindgren6015]

Looks like a sick bike! Happy that Canyon teamed up with TQ to create a lightweight playful e-mtb.

My kids LOVE your channel!! Congrats on the new bike. It's insane and we love the canyon kit you ride, it's epic stuff. 11 year old son "dad, can I have a zebra paint job?" 🙈 14 year old son "Nah Sam doesn't look right using tools" 😂🤙🏻

[@MTBAddictsOfficial]

nah that bike looks sick, canyon should make it so you can limited edition paint job or make it so you can paint your own bike for a while

[@junka1975]

Nice bike Sam and you got to play with proper tools to build it! Don't worry, you can probably use your favourite tools on the next cheap bike challenge. Nice homage to the leopard head days on the paint job.🐆. Those slow motion shots looked great. Either Lewi has just practised so long at filming, he knows exactly where you will land or he just has given up on fear and decided that one day you will land on him but it will make the best shot ever so he just won't move in order to get it. Well may you get many more bangers on that new bike Sam, with a paint job like that, it's just begging to be ridden hard and to stand out in the crowd.

[@AshfordMTB]

Great superman! In your pre-supe's chat, I was waiting for the words "weak man", but they never came. 😂

[@ride6884]

I think Sam should be an announcer for any UCI race, he would really bring life to it!

[@dhonyalawieh9786]

Dude sick bike

[@L4wednav]

Try out an EUC Sam!! Ur gonna love it!!

[@PhilB-v6b]

That is one awesome looking bike ❤😊

I never liked Canyon bikes until Sam made me want ALL of their bikes. Including this eeb, which I said I would never want.

[@stx333]

Sam always in great shape!

Outstanding entertainment!! 👍 Sam please, cut that dropper cable.

Was literally about to comment that you weren't magicing anything and then you did!

[@xpndblhero5170]

I wish I could get Sam into electric bikes, like an MTB w/ a 72v 5kw mid-drive motor on it.... It'll be heavier than his normal e-bikes but it would be Way faster and he could go up MTB trails as fast as he goes down them. 😁👍🖤

[@Sgn-kn]

Absolutely love the new intro😎. Also, it would be very nice if you could leave the swearing out, thank you so much.👍🏽

[@boccatxrx5023]

I hope Canyon know they're bloody lucky to have you on the team bro. Great brand and epic ambassador. I don't even own a bike right now, I'm just a surfer/skater but i love this channel🤙

[@LalaLala-p7h]

Got a Canyon Torque a year ago. Ridden 15h on on it intermediate riding and now the "swingarm" broke straight through at a weld. No crash no nothing. Just noticed the wheel touching the frame when riding. Could have died. They said if you don't service the bearings it could put unormal stress on the frame lol. Got a new part for free but never buying that crap again...

[@Cartsp70]

I had a Torque and the paint lasted about 2 rides before flaking off, I think they make good bikes but I just don’t trust them anymore, YT seem like good bikes from what I’ve seen 👍🏾

[@forestdweller512]

Another great video! Enjoy the bike brother🎉

hi sam can you do a video on the best places to mount a camera and what the best ones are to use, i have a cheap one (crosstour ct9000) which has some good accessories for the low price but doesn't compare to your recordings. thanks for making videos your my inspiration to keep biking keep it up :)
