READ THIS 👉🏻Big mistake guys! The 979 is not 120/120. It is 140/130. Sorry about that. I have been thinking it was 120/120 for a few months now. Lol not sure how I mixed that up. Either way it still takes the short travel cat. Thanks for watching everyone.

I just bought 120/120 mm SID/Sidluxe that I will put on my XF 999 TR. I will report back if your review is still legit, after I have had a chance to try them out. Unless you want to come to Sweden to try it out yourself 😁 On a more serious note, it is not a big deal. It is clear from your original review of the bike that it is 140/130.

@perbengtson7398 the good thing is the frame can handle a 100/110 so 120/120 should be just fine. I really don’t know how I mixed that up. I guess it rides more like a 120/120 than any 140/130 I have been on. 😂 let me know what you think of it as a true 120/120 bike.

@@RunBikeMike Yeah, as you say in the video it is the same frame as your Issue R, and Superior has confirmed that 120/120 will work just fine. With a 120/120 setup, the geometry and suspension setup of my 999TR will be close to Superior´s new XC flagship XF 9.9 Team. For less than half the price. I used that as an argument to convince myself to make the investment, and I am not a good enough biker to call the bluff if it is not even close in reality 🤣 And if it turns out I am, I can use that as an argument to buy the XF 9.9 Team 😬Win-Win. Regardless, I fully agree that 979/999 are great (value) bikes that most allround riders would love.

Oh changing it to 120/120 seems like a great idea

Looks like a good line up. polygon and superior are killer. Bikes online is legit. I just got my son the Polygon Nxe for $4500 bucks delivered all Kashima and XT and DI2. We are changing the air shaft on the fork to a 180 and over stroking the back by 10mm. We will both be on e bikes this summer at the ski resort. 🙏🙏🙏🤘

Hey Mike, that Superior XF trail 979/999 is kinda my dream bike but I think the travel is 140 out front and 130 rear. Does it feel “under forked” to you?
@bikesonline11 күн бұрын
Correct! The travel is 140/130. In our experience, the bike is not under forked at all. It can handle some really big features. What does differentiate it more than your average trail bike (like the Siskiu T8) would be that it has a shorter wheelbase. Which means the XF TR sacrifices some downhill stability for being able to corner sharper and faster. Hope this helps!
@jeremypeterson555810 күн бұрын
@ It helps a great deal! From watching your videos I feel like my riding style and preference mirrors yours pretty closely. My area has some pretty big features but nothing serious “downhill” so the shorter wheelbase actually suits me fine. I was just a little worried that it felt like a short travel bike while you were riding it. And thanks for the great review!

Oh, you’re not Mike😂. But thanks for the reply and clarification.

Well dang it. How did I mess that up lol. That is what I get for not looking back over the specs. My mind was convinced it was 120/120. Sorry about that

I just bought a polygon TE - N, while I was considering it I looked at the superior, but honestly, I’ve never heard of it before but I liked components on it, but it was unfamiliar to me while I’ve had a couple different polygons. Did you ever ride the TE-N? There weren’t a whole lot of views available on it when I bought it, but I really like it.

I haven’t but I really want to. Hopefully this next year I can get a hold of one.

I'm amazed that the Marin Team Marin 2 didn't make the list. Or was this only about full sus?

It’s a great bike but this was only bikes from BikesOnline this year.
