Chasing After My DREAM Mountain Bike, Bike #3 Superior XF 29 Team Issue R

[@CobraKyle]

That's a handsome machine! The bike's pretty nice looking too.

[@RunBikeMike]

Lol too funny

[@komoonkh]

Heey, Cobra Kyle is still alive!

[@Ecoroof1986]

Gorgeous colour. I picked up a Cervelo ZFS-5 120 a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. Big discounts in the UK at the moment. Good luck with the training and race

[@RunBikeMike]

Thanks and Cervelo’s are amazing bikes. Back in my roadie days I dreamed of owning one of their road bikes.

[@TheRickysee]

Paul, some great value with the kit on that bike! I have the DT Swiss lockout on my Bmc and I love that lover. I wish you talked more about the suspension though. Most of us are familiar with Swiss shocks and forks. Let us know how those feel overtime.

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

Just ordered the 979 tr. Can't wait to try it.

[@RunBikeMike]

My review comes out on Thursday for that bike. I’ll give you a spoiler alert, but It’s an absolute amazing bike.

[@theman-pc2ej]

@@SpeedDemonExpress ordered mine today!.. cant wait!

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

@@theman-pc2ej it's a good bike. Just rode mine today for the second time.

If this shifts faster than your shram then why need it later on? Maybe shram should make one to fit this type frame. I was on the fence until I watch your video. You got me sold on this bike. Hopefully, there will be a black friday/Xmas deal so I can snatch one up for an even more killer deal

[@RunBikeMike]

I have another video about this bike coming out this week. There really is no need for sram and if you wanted to go sram you could go AXS. But the XTR is super nice.

[@ninhphamily9918]

@@RunBikeMikeAwesome! Keep up the good work. Your reviews are the best.

[@MrMayito1992]

Great video @TheRickysee !! I could make it even lighter by removing that dropper and adding a good carbon regular seat post. I honestly never use one and do just fine on all XC courses and races I've done since 2001. Seriously considering this bike now.

[@RunBikeMike]

Yeah that would drop some weight for sure

[@ireddie]

Great looking bike. You mentioned this was a large you went through the reach numbers question for you. How tall are you?

[@RunBikeMike]

I am 5’11”

[@MTBQandA]

Thats a purty lookin rig! Love that color!

[@ChrisPrince-e3v]

What outfront garmin mount did you go with?

[@RunBikeMike]

I am using a mount made by Magicshine. I believe it is called the TTS mount. It works for garmin and wahoo style computers. Plus can hold a light below.

[@ChrisDavis-sx3nq]

Only one way to tell if it is a really fast race bike. Put a stop watch on a lap with the bike against other bikes. Same power outputs and effort/heart rate and if the stop watch says it is faster, it really is faster.

[@SlowpokeShred]

Nice video Mike. That’s one killer looking bike!

[@RunBikeMike]

Thanks 😊 it is a fast bike for sure.

[@DaneFerolin]

what a dream bike!!!

[@magnet86]

Hello:) I believe that weight of set of XRC 1501 is 1550 g not around 1250

[@tarantulasam7609]

What size did you go with and how tall are you? Thanks 🙏

[@RunBikeMike]

I am 5’11” and went with the large

[@tarantulasam7609]

@@RunBikeMike thanks man! I’m 5’10ish” and am strongly considering this bike. Do you feel like you squarely fit the large or do you feel like you could have gone medium? I think at this point the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger is that I’m waiting for the new Lauf announcement on their first XC bike. Their unveiling is on the 25th.

[@RunBikeMike]

@tarantulasam7609 the large is perfect for me. I feel like a medium would have been too small for sure.

[@MagicshineLights]

Wow, new and cool MTB!🙌🙌🙌

[@RunBikeMike]

Thanks 😊

[@emilioformenti5870]

Please try a trek supercaliber

[@RunBikeMike]

That would be nice

[@WKG111]

Awesome looking bike. 😍

[@RunBikeMike]

I am in love so far.

[@aaron___6014]

No longer available?

[@RunBikeMike]

Looks like it might be out of stock. Not sure when or if it will come back up on the site. They do have the Issue just not the Issue R.

[@fitforlife_mike]

Hot. Nasty. Speed.

[@tigerbalm666]

I prefer 27.5, but are Superior only 29ners?

[@RunBikeMike]

yeah from what I have seen of their bikes they are only 29.

[@oceanedetotes]

Yes 27.5 is so much more handy than 29 but 29 rolls better on flat tracks

[@XCBen]

That's a beautiful bike. Did you end up buying it?

[@RunBikeMike]

Yeah I am keeping this one. It is definitely a dream bike. I love it.

[@XCBen]

@RunBikeMike nice. I'm thinking of racing the BT Bike race.

[@RunBikeMike]

It is a good race. Challenging and really fun.

[@magnet86]

Thats weight for size L right ? So close to buying one.

[@RunBikeMike]

Yes and that was with spd pedals and tubeless

[@RunBikeMike]

If you do pick one up I would love it if you used my link. 😎

[@msumacc22]

Love
