Time travel through the evolution of MTB with Hans Rey | SHIMANO

[@Mrdirt22]

Hans is truly a Legend.

[@stealfwayne]

As long as I have been riding bikes (39 years) Hans Rey has been there in the scene shining the light on MTB. The gap jump he did high in the mountains in this, he did with Steve Peat and the images in the photo shoot were amazing Is he in the MTB hall of Fame? Bloody well hope so. A pioneer .

[@titanninjawarrior]

I need a 2 hour special where he sits down and really goes through each bike in the collection.

[@RetroLindsay]

Same

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Hans Rey is a legend, he inspired me to try trials riding, I then figured out I’m no good at trials riding.

[@FelipeAF_YT]

The man, the reason why I ride a bike!

[@brucehomstad5256]

Hans, I remember watching you do trials more than 30 years ago. Keep riding!

[@BartholdyManuel]

Legend, I still remenber having a VHS of this man!

[@Adamas_83]

Hans is a true ambassador of mountain biking.

[@cezarmartins3489]

This is awesome, just discovered this guy and I'm aspiring to be like him when I'm 55

[@paulguerrero972]

No Way it's Hans Rey!!! GT hero since I started riding in the early 90's!!! GT for life!!!!

[@michaelelvin8092]

Had an MTB in the mid 80's, used to ride it up One Tree Hill (as per U2 song) Upgraded to a full suspension model at 65 and now electric at 67

[@whateverbikes]

So nice to see people from the very early days of mountainbiking still around, and still having fun, spreading the joy. Read so many mtb magazines those days, and was in awe at the stuff he pulled off. Nice video!

[@cristianvillarroel760]

¡Saludos desde Sudamérica a todos los mtbikers del mundo! 🌍🚵

[@DM-fj8wv]

Legend, love it! You were first mtber I ever saw in a movie Hans, riding down your steep front yard track at your house in Laguna Beach, we went straight out on our full rigid steel 12 speeds with our minds blown wide open and never looked back. Thanks!

[@mattdelcomyn8012]

Awesome to see Hans continuing to be such a positive and inspiring mtn bike personality! Quite an amazing history he’s had. And quite an amazing history the mtn bike has! Thanks Hans!!

[@alhypo]

It's a good reminder of just how good we have it these days. How lucky I am to be alive during this age of mountain bike tech Renaissance.

[@pauljohnson9399]

This is why we ride. Thanks Hans...fabulous!

[@robhaskins3068]

Thanks Hans for changing many people's lives for the better .History tells us that many cyclists consider themselves purists thus resist change.The uptake of Emtbs is simply the Evolution of human thinking to accept the fantastic technology that allows us to enjoy life even more. I don't think they are for racing just Fun Fun Fun and it's not one or the other but ride both Emtbs and naturally aspirated mtbs to enhance the joy of cycling. Emtbs turn us into gleeful kids again. They are a Time Machine. E=Mtb²

[@justlucky13]

Hans thanks for being you and showing the world what a Mt bike can do yes I still have my LTS 3 in my museum

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

Hans was my hero back in the 90's, i bought a GT Zaskar brand new in 1994 after watching his Level Vibes video, remember a feature on him saying he used to put Coca Cola on his wheel rims to make the old Cantilever brakes work better. He will always be a Legend.

[@martinlum7166]

Awesome! Great to see how Hans impacted biking and took it beyond riding from A to B. I saw a news clip of some guy in LA hopping over cars in a traffic jam in order to get to a scheduled interview. This was when I took notice of Hans del Rey. I got his autograph when he came to John Henry Bicycles in North Vancouver to help support mountain biking in North Vancouver. He's a legend.

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

"Are you eating in Trail Mode or in Boost?" 😂 Great video.

[@JoolsUK]

EP8 for the win Hans. Legend.

[@luizfellipecortat518]

Lembro quando ele veio ao Brasil fazendo parte do Rock Shox Explorers! Hans é incrivelmente carismático!

[@biketothetop]

Nice video... it's always nice to hear how positive Hans is and how much he is a supporter of all there is about mountain biking and eMTB. I remember when the gravity dropper she posts came out. It was such a great enhancement to mountain biking. I have a gravity dropper turbo model and used it for many years.

[@Metrobus271]

Hans “No Way” Rey, a pioneer and mtb legend.

[@rubenhilton5078]

Felicidades Hans , sigues siendo una leyenda viviente eres una inspiración para muchos riders como yo 50 + , muchos éxito y salud para este 2022 desde México tu amigo Ruben Hilton

[@laurenoe]

Legend. Great to see GT and Hans are still together! Pretty amazing that I can get a GT with a Shimano EP8 STEPS? Take my money!!!!

[@satn3345]

We are blessed to have Hans! Keep it going my friend!

[@warptmanbmx]

hans is awesome one of the first trials riders i ever saw love his energy and skill

[@elih9588]

The bikes may have gotten much better but the personalities haven't. We love you Hans!

[@enriquehernandez155]

This is your thing, what a Pro ,and a history that tells the tale 👏👌

[@maximilianvonkustenland1877]

My first mtb idol!!!!! Thanks Hans 👏👏👏

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

A true legend...thanks Hans

[@JAG-ALL-EGO]

I want to ride with Hans and then have a few beers afterwards!!!

[@ultimatist]

What a legend this guy is. I'd give a kidney to ride with him in Italy!

[@luca_cometti]

Stoked to be able to help out with this project. Turned out awesome. Love the history lesson

[@lidarman2]

No Way! Rey is still en fuego!

[@fredsanke4070]

The Legend pedals forever!!!!

[@trwilliams22]

Has Hans ever not wheelied? I’d like to think not. Thanks for all the years of awesomeness.

[@russthomson6168]

good discussion of cockpit

[@Eugenetra7]

Amazing skills! At the beginning I thought that some grandpa will just talk about his garage))) I was sooo wrong.

[@pace_tracker]

So good video again! Hans Ray 💪🏼

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I've had my XCR3000 since I bought it new in 2000. Love that bike still to this day. Went to buy a new bike last year and the GT rep told me nothing for like 8 or 9 months because of supply issues. Went with my second choice, a YT. Still ride my 2000 GT from time to time as it works so well on some tight trails here and I'll be looking for a GT again in the future.

[@bicisdeluis4330]

Great video, Hans is a legend

[@MarvinZacher]

Hallo Hans, Wir werden uns in Californien kennenlernen. Ich habe schon in meiner Kindheit dich im Fernsehen gesehen wo Du Rennen fährst. Bleibe so wie Du bist und bleibe Gesund mit deiner Familie. Sehr schön das Du noch GT als Sponsor hast. Bei Eurosport habe Ich immer eure Rennen verfolgt als Kind. LG Marvin

[@ZavyalovCycling]

Super edit, pleasure to watch! 🤘🤘

[@stefannewels1823]

True Legend 😎 👍 NoWayRey

[@MTravelVlog]

I really enjoyed your video. Great channel. ⭐️💕 Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼 🇦🇱

[@yarinageshonen]

My mtb hero and idol.

[@patrickrichter202]

Mr Rey is so awesome!

[@robinklaiss]

No Way Rey! Legend!

[@loungemen662]

The MTB 🐐

[@sandykavor8434]

Great video. I've been riding for 30 years. The technology definitely shifted, but so did the prices.

[@wantahertzdonut]

Does anyone recognize the trails at the beginning? I can't tell if that's San Clemente Singletracks or Chino Hills.

[@HeuerAndy]

I can't wait to rebuild my venerable Giant Sedona and then cycle from my girlfriend's house in Phoenix, Arizona to our vacation home in Idaho Falls. Spring 2022, yeah.

[@MarioXcore1]

Absolute legend

[@Serby665]

E bikes are here to stay, and they are fun. Yes, but more importantly, they are expensive .

[@dudeonbike800]

Not many around who rode with a HiteRite! The wife still has one on her original mountain bike, now the townie! Droppers are SO much better! They actually WORK! Funny how Hans talks about the use of riser bars and move away from flats, and then the bike he's on has bars with virtually no rise! (3:05, for example)

[@daledubose3032]

I could have watched a lot more of this

[@seongminjo8850]

No Way Rey! All The Way!

[@axelschwaiss1576]

Hans "no way" rey, had a Poster in my room in 1994. 😃👍

[@Antweak83]

Who else didn't want the video to end so soon?

[@ezequielpiacenza3776]

Vieja escuela me acuerdo de la zaskarita 👍👍👍

[@ezequielpiacenza3776]

Todavía tengo la campera de GT amarilla mangas largas ✌️✌️✌️👍

[@FirefighterBobby]

Great video! I love it.

[@JasenGomez]

If Hans says its so , it is so,,, legend !

[@shel844]

🤣I love the ending! Hans, you so funny!

[@ronwhite8503]

What's the music at the beginning?

[@sacaeugeniu7317]

Awesome video!!! Man, you are Crazy :)

[@sonofagreatsouthernland]

Onya Hansie!

[@Mikosacred]

increible

[@JAVIERR1963]

👏👏👏

[@mrfrogg46able]

i hope when i'm his age i can ride that well

[@seattlegrrlie]

I got my first dropper post right after you. It was expensive and impossible to get. Everyone was like "why" Yeah now you all know why!

[@peglor]

Most of the delay in people taking up new tech is that it has to be around for a while and go through a few iterations before it stops being unreliable overpriced junk so it makes sense that non-pro's with limited budgets let the pro's and early adopters test the new designs before it's safe for them to put their money down. The one thing that hasn't got better over the past few iterations from Shimano is gear shifting though - why does downshifting on my 2x12 rear derailleur need me to apply about twice the force at the shifter that the same downshift on a 3x10 drivetrain 1st generation clutch derailleur needs (This is with exactly the same cable and full length externally routed outer setup on two of my hardtails, so the setup couldn't be any more similar). This is bad enough that I'm now looking at a Pinion gearbox setup for any new bike I buy rather than continue to deal with Shimano's trend towards high shifting force. The really sad thing is that front derailleur shifting on 2x12 is the best Shimano has ever made, but most people will never get to try it thanks to bike frames being almost universally incompatible with front derailleurs.

[@aaronhernandez1982]

It is always eaten in boost mode! 😂😂😂

[@adwaydhmenon82]

Woow

He seems to be first in everythink.

[@jazzunit8234]

I enjoy this fossil unit he mentioned the dreaded e’s

[@antoniolalmeida2366]

The dude hops an e bike, I mean look at it!!

[@Cous1nJack]

Hans does a garage tour. Gets robbed pretty soon after.

[@benyedlin2521]

oof. Sales of ebikes aren't going as well as they thought it seems. This video was great but really just a super long walk for a short drink of water "buy an ebike! the old pro has adapted so why not you?" okay got it

[@Sills71]

If it has a motor, it is not a bike.

[@drewbarton3364]

an e-bike Hans?! Unforgiveable.

[@MrFreerideForever]

Married on a mountain, nice. 👍 Which marriage?

[@siriosstar4789]

EVERY lifetime MTB rider WILL get an e bike if they want to continue riding past the point where your mind says yes and your body says , " Oh hell no" No one cheats old age and death . it's different for each person but your body will fail you one day , guraenteed.

[@emausderratsuchende5447]

[@adriancabrera3014]

E-Bikes are here to pollute with batteries ...

[@occidentalexplorer1125]

You buy and ebike you are not a cyclist anymore.

[@endianAphones]

Because your wife kills you?

[@Kixtia013]

Six minutes of dude talking about himself.

[@alistertaylor2477]

Worth six minutes of anyone’s time to listen to him.
