Big respect for Remy. His uploads are entertaining.....and sketch.

[@jlshelton83]

I was fortunate enough to find both Neal and Remy at the bike festival and shake their hands! Super nice dudes, but the summer heat of the Southern US is something with which they clearly weren't familiar haha. Hope to see y'all there again next year!

[@chrisprysok7634]

Remy always giving the good info on why he does what he does.

[@kasa3121]

Remy and Barelli are two of my favourite mbt youtubers.🎉

[@adrianwilkinson2547]

Any video with Remy is interesting, wether it be his riding or his opinions. Dude is an OG of Gnar! 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌎

[@Alan-75]

I watch every video that remy brings out, awesome rider and explains everything so well, he has helped me improve my riding alot with his instructions and tips, the brake lever position certainly helped me on the steep stuff and with the arm pump, no longer get it as bad now.

[@walterreyes3722]

REMY!! Yo the stack height it’s like a Moto setup badass!

[@micaelpereira953]

Rémy, one of the best!

[@lionelhernandez34]

The opening line😂

[@DougieFresh13]

Next cassette acquired. Directly in my sights e13 9-45

[@DougieFresh13]

Flying saucer going bye bye

[@Frorideism]

1:50 I love the fact that you already can see how scuffed the cables get from that internal routing headset. Anti-innovation right there :x Love the bike though

[@DavidFoundCo]

Good eye

[@TheMTBRider96]

That’s because propain listens to the customers, everyone wants cable tourism

[@ALM-sk8zx]

Would love to see a shread session with Neil and Remy

[@mathieusezeur8006]

It would be epic! Neil we want the video!

[@avySeal]

Yea, that would be an awesome episode if Remy & Neil did a riding video together. 😃👍🏾

[@blackbird969]

hmm, that Rotor is because of a length of the crank or just because of a look?

[@patriksklarcik3162]

Hi. Nice bike! How is frame size ?

[@lionelhernandez34]

Did Remy say 450 or 415 reach ?

[@AdamosFF]

450. I'm 3cm taller than him and just bought a mullet with 430mm reach. Ooops! :D

[@acebikemedia]

Very random build as far as spec. Looks amazing though.

[@EMTB17]

Remy is the most underrated Ryder in the world. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Nein_doch_oooh]

I don't understand a single word although I understand English,...

[@Vokunos]

english isnt my main language and i also dont life in an english speaking country and i had no problems. so i guess its your own skills... or rather lack off.

[@Nein_doch_oooh]

@@Vokunos maybe I'm just an imbecile and you're a genius. Life is unfair!

[@Alan-75]

I understand Remy just fine but don't understand half of what yohann says😅😅.. Another great rider I love watching.

[@fpeter01]

It is French English. I love it, and he speaks really clearly. There are worse English speakers in French believe me. :D
