Having the SST for a little while now I am already drooling over the steezl!

[@lux-3001]

Thanks for the insight, Jeff! I've first heard of Reeb bikes on your channel a couple of years ago and I am a fan. Unfortunately, living in Europe it Is not that simple to buy one. Cheers!

[@MrBornluckee13]

This is a very strong contender for my next bike, Steel is real!

[@feldybikes]

Very cool showing the rocker pivot. I was wondering how the rear end was handling torsional flex and not putting it all through the rear hub axle with no chainstay bridge and separate rockers. That explains it.

[@pdrawe]

Awesome Jeff! Huge Reeb fan! Adam and the crew have been on point forever and still getting better.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

They’re killing it.

Thanks for answering my question about tire clearance Jeff. I have a Steezl on order and can’t wait to get that email that it has shipped!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

You’re gonna love it!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

How's the bike? How did you learn about Reeb?

[@JamesLG4]

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss Hello Jeff. I really like my Steezl. It does have a different feel than my previous carbon bike even though the geo is very similar. I decided to change it up and install a 170mm fork since I prefer riding bike parks and like the more stout fork. I always knew about Reeb and liked what they were doing but it was the Vital first look video that got me looking at the Steezl. Steel frame, UDH, geo and USA made are what sealed the deal.

[@bpersons14]

Such a cool bike, really loving what REEB is doing with this as well as the SST. Just wish REEB still made a Ti gravel bike.

[@stevenkilleen8149]

Your last vid there inspired me to ride it. I’m not fan of that climb, but it’s cool that you’re back on that trail. You must be in town for SOC

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Yup. That climb is LONG

[@msgesus4518]

It's so sick. Wow.

[@joeymalin]

Thanks for not blocking people bitching about the prices. Most of the stuff is about triple the price of big box brands. I’d like to think if it was even DOUBLE I’d hop on it to support USA. But I’m an American so even if that was the case I’d probably still be whining 🤷‍♂️

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Our bikes definitely cost a little bit more than others, but that statement is a stretch. Similarly equipped yeti SB 160 is close to $8000 versus just under seven for ours and their frame is made in Vietnam and probably cost them $400. Hey Canyon might be $1000 less. And our bikes aren’t made for everybody but if you appreciate quality, do you support an American brand and want a bike that will last more than one season they are definitely worth considering.

[@joeymalin]

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss That’s true! Especially on the higher end models. I guess I’m so far out of that realm I didn’t compare those. I was specifically looking at the hard tail frames. $700 Kona Honzo ST, $2400 for the Redikyelous

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

@@joeymalin THAT example is 100 true, We've gotten hardtails quoted overseas. We can get them for less than 100 bucks per frame, It's insane and very tempting but we're trying to keep things in house. Ourr manufacturing is getting more streamlined though so I'd expect those prices to drop in the future.

[@imbap5713]

RL & I were just talking about him getting a Reeb, but he said no long travel, no deal.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Do it!

[@plainuser48596]

1. Can you share leverage ratio, anti-squat and anti-rise, preferably graphs? I think these should be presented for every bike for every company, so that the customer knows what they buy and can choose if the setup will work for their intended use. 2. Did you consider gearbox instead of derailleur for that improved unsprung and rotating mass ?

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Leverage rates are on the website. I haven’t considered a gearbox

[@MarioXcore1]

Ahh I want an SST!!

[@mrupholsteryman]

Was curious about a "real mtb". Still trying to upgrade the Walgoose Ledge X1 to make it competent.

[@SecretSpots]

Really diggin the look and geo of this bike. By the look of the width of the lower chainstay and how close the front chainring is to it, I'm assuming oval chainrings might be a no-no. (?)

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

I know some people that run them on these bikes. You’ll be ok

[@D_Allsen]

Ahh man, I haven’t even got 500 miles on my SST and now you have me drooling over another bike haha. I have to say that the SST with the CC coil and a 150 fork makes a compelling 1 bike quiver argument though. I’d love your take on how much separation you would put between them? Do you ride your SST as much now? Thank!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss Hey Jeff, I had purchased and loved a Pole Taival steel hardtail early last year which made me wonder why couldn’t I get the steel experience on a full sus.

How sturdy are the Mazza Trail casings? I'm 230lbs and ride mixed conditions with berms, roots, and some rock gardens. The 2ply seem a bit overkill (and heavy!).

I’m 230 as well and I use trail casing. If you’re riding out west or really high speed the enduro casing makes sense otherwise I’ve had good luck with these

[@crazyeyes7821]

Hey Jeff, any chance you have the frame weight of your XL? I'm considering a parts swap from my existing bike but want to get a gut check on the weight comparison.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

A Steezl with a painted front and raw rear is right at or a hair under 9 lbs. For comparison that’s within a couple hundred grams of an SB 160. What are you riding now?

[@crazyeyes7821]

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss currently on a 2019 XL Megatower, so not a particularly light bike. Is that 9 lbs with a shock?

[@sapinva]

Pretty bike. But for me, 77 degrees means I may as well just spare myself the cost of the saddle and seat post and get the added benefit of reducing the weight on my hands.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

You’re a Hardtail fan like me. On a Hardtail I don’t want anything steeper than 74 but suspension bikes slack out when you sit in them and they settle

@@stephenziegler9542 still no justification for the prices.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Bikes are absurdly expensive these days, no doubt about it, but like Steve mentioned they are in line with the industry. The crazy part is most big brands get their carbon frames for about $500 and still charge what we do. I’ve seen the work that goes into one of our bikes. No doubt it’s expensive but much easier to justify in my book.

[@jonk8916]

The prices are in line with the rest of the industry right now, the latest bikes from other brands are 3600-3700, made overseas, and most won't last more than a season or two. In buying a bike from REEB, you get incredible customer support, you support US manufacturing, and the bikes actually last and hold up. No doubt the entire industry is insane when it comes to pricing, but the margins on what the larger brands get for what they charge is ridiculous, REEB is doing this all in the US, in a small shop, and with a few employees, all while keeping the prices in line with the rest of the industry. I've had several of their bikes and they have been nothing short of amazing for me, both as a brand and with their products.

[@MrBornluckee13]

Yep, they are not cheap but I don’t think they are overpriced. Very competitive actually, especially because hand made here in the Lower 48!
