What Is A Trials Bike | MTB Trials

[@olrenison]

It's basically a pogo stick.

[@Scranner]

Black Tea One Sugar it’s a pogo stick with wheels

[@Infinity-ok6fe]

Quality Russian vodka yes pogo stick with wheels brakes

[@raven2717]

But it's RIGID, YOU cannot BOUNCE on it!

[@NaniJapaneseForWhat]

@@raven2717 the tires arent rigid plus they run not so high pressures so they can get bouncy

[@bobbulgi880]

Black tea Yep. Takes away from the talent though

[@darrenangel461]

Close to tears Martyn Ashton talking on here what a great rider he was, gutted when he had his accident, Martyn you will always be VOLVO CANNONDALE TO ME. Bless you Buddy.

[@AurelienFontenoy]

great promotion for trials biking !!!

[@escapegoat32]

I got a little sad when Martyn talked about wanting to ride the bike really bad. It must be torture for him sometimes. What a cool and super knowledgeable guy!

[@JS-tb9hu]

Very interesting bike! Freehub in bottom bracket, hydraulic rim brakes, seat tube going around the tyre, cutout around the steerer. Awesome to see

[@gmbn]

Super cool isn't it! Definitely not something you se every day!

[@espenjohansen8074]

I hope to see more Trials in GMBN in the future! It's a highly interesting sport!

[@oscarjorgensen3191]

FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS

[@petertaylor3150]

Get Jack Carthy or Andrei Burton on the show so people can see what these bikes are really capable of! Jack has just become world champion again today, i do hope you give him the recognition he deserves!!

[@koko-lores]

Nice video!! I just bought myself a little 20" trials bike yesterday, so would love it if we could have some more trials on the channel. Cheers!

[@AP-vd8ve]

When you hear " weighs nearly nothing Ecpectations : 5 kilos or less Reality: 9kg

[@gmbn]

For a long piece of crazy strong metal...that's pretty good!

[@cookieuk1278]

Your expectations of an extremely strong bike that can be ridden off a house and still be intact!?

[@propularguy]

Cookie UK better. You can drop it of orbit and it will crash and not be intact in the end

[@braulio1o4]

What about a full carbón 20" Trials bike?

[@Feltspec]

@@braulio1o4 it wouldnt handle the beating

[@dr_skipwith]

Imagine commuting with that...

[@TJPDmember]

you just don't lol

[@xx-----------xx873]

I tried a mile loop on my Fourplay, you spin out at 5 MPH and while it has a seat, you’ve got no chance of pedalling while sitting on it. At least it has good brakes.

[@jemjag3824]

I do that, just to the bus stop

[@SuperLetsgo12]

Great video martyn, just realised you run the same tyres on your chair as i do on my mountain bike, when im on the road. Great mind's think alike.

[@andrewho110]

jon mather how do u know?

[@SuperLetsgo12]

Andrew Ho The tyres have a unique patten to them, they're called continental double fighters

[@andrewho110]

No i mean the tyre pressure how do u know that they r the same cause he could be running on lower or higher psi than u.

[@SuperLetsgo12]

Just looked at the video again and you can see the name of the tyres at 4:22

[@andrewho110]

im talking psi not company that makes them tho.

[@blueshadesb2853]

Martyn is such a great spirit! I love mountain biking more because of people like you!

[@noelius4481]

I really wish there's a local bike shop here that sells that. Sadly, even dj bikes are hard to find here to even try one out.

[@TeamToast]

www.tartybikes.co.uk

[@parkerjamison4578]

TOAST BIKES also webcyclery.com sells them

[@jurgendaniel5]

I'm selling my trial bike, if your intrested...

[@noelius4481]

I'm from the Philippines so yeah... We have a lot of MTB here 'coz we love it. You'll see more MTB's everywhere than road bikes but Trials bike is quite alien here. But I've always wanted one but it'll be too expensive to ship one so I'm planning on building a street dj bike to play around.

[@jurgendaniel5]

Noel Castillo but what would be your budget for trial bike?

[@RC-DC]

Great vid love the explanation takes me back to "dirty tricks n stunts" P.s Front Brake needs a quick adjustment or that pads going on the tyre not the rim :)

[@gmbn]

Well noticed Derek (we threw it together real quick just for the video before putting it straight back in the box)!

[@jemjag3824]

@@gmbn hi is it ok if you tell me how much my bike should cost, im 13 and my mum said shell put £40 towards it

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Awesome bike. Trials is in my opinion the most impressive part of cycling they're is an amazing amount of technical skill used there. One reason You Ashton are my favorite cyclist you may not have been the "best" but the fact that you still ride and inspire others (including myself) to ride makes you the greatest cyclist in my opinion.

[@MatthewGorveatte]

best commentary ever, he knows so much, never saw a crank hub before, that sounds amazing

[@grigorbrowning]

The most beautiful bike you've featured to date!

[@jeremylittlehoop7605]

I love Martyn’s videos. So descriptive and the enthusiasm, off the wall, unlike Blake lol. Cheers from New Mexico!

[@trials_bike-xu3xf]

I want one... That would be so much fun and the skills could even transfer over to normal mountain biking

[@durrantmiller8810]

Is this hinting at trials videos? :D

[@evanthomas1555]

Durrant Miller watch dirt shed show from yesterday they went over this weeks uploads

[@durrantmiller8810]

I bet you guys had a great time making that video and I had a great time watching it

[@1pho3nixmatt]

Well? Let's go Blake! We all want to see you take that thing onto some trials obstacles!

[@IslayAnderson]

Absolutely loved Trials in high school I rode an old Onza T-Pro And for one of my GCSE ART projects I painted a Mural of Ali-C in his pretty popular picture from Morecambe promenaded (my hometown)

[@DustedMike]

Did Blake actually shake a pedal with the bike upon introduction? priceless. lol

[@neilcampbell5116]

Should have had Martin Hawyes there to give the demo of a gap jump 😉

[@stephanez8036]

i know all this stuff, but hearing it from Martyn is such a pleasure ! i love it !

[@konar1616]

Ohh Yeas! At last proper Trials stuff on GMBN. Thank You Martyn.🤘 Btw. I adapt my 26” 48mm trials rim from the brand CLEAN by Abel Mustieles to my 2015 Giant Reign Advanced 160mm travel as a back wheel with baloon like Continental Rubber Queen 2.4” to make the wheel bomb proof... And it is!

[@ZeroSeriesMMX]

Martyn, you know you haven't fully whetted the GMBN viewers' appetite for trials bikes and trials-related content, don't you? If you don't, now you know. ;) Keep 'em coming, mate!

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Very cool video guys.... I had no idea that a trials bike was this crazy.

[@Krabbyvinh]

9 kg is heavy for Trialsbikes but crewkerz gos on stiffness not on super duper light ^^

[@AKagNA]

wtf? inspired bicycles are around 11-14 kg

[@Krabbyvinh]

[@Windband1]

I have zero interest in Trials riding, but I have to say that's a pretty awesome design with amazing features. That free wheel in the crank is epic! If I was a Trials guy I would want that bike!

[@ChrisCapoccia]

was not expecting the tire pressure to be so low… blake looked like he was nearly bottoming out the rim

[@gmbn]

Admittedly when Blake hops on you see it could use a little more pressure. Not too much but a little more to help the tyre keep shape a bit!

[@zenosarvari70]

5:17 who’s cutting those onions? Martyn is a real legend.

[@evanthomas1555]

Diggin the slip on vans martyn!

Do another trials video

[@Marty00011]

Love Martyn's coaching :D

[@adamoliver5966]

AskGMBN: why are the pedals on trials bikes like the cheap ones that come on department store bikes, just without the reflectors?

[@TheDatpussy]

Adam Oliver you would most likely replace them anyway so might aswell cheap it down

[@JogBird]

most mid to high end road bikes dont even come w pedals, specialise do pack the sworks bikes w nylon walmart pedals though

[@oscarjorgensen3191]

Adam Oliver it is caged pedals on this bike and everyone uses caged pedals in biketrials

[@tharunshiv]

We use caged pedals in trials because its easier for the muc to get off and gives you more grip in wet conditions and as mcMuffinFluffin said we keep bashing the pedal all the time and its easier to replace the cage. Mostly these pedals do look like the wallmart ones but its totally different and waaay more grippy!

[@TeamToast]

You couldn't be more wrong

[@cleyey]

Now we need a trials competition with a real trials bike if you get to have the bike for a little bit longer

[@eddiejefferies3659]

A work of art that needs hanging up on the wall, after you have climbed it of course. Best clip for quite some time.

Yesterday on the last GMBN Dirt Shed Show, when Martyn talked about this Trial bike with weird geometry i thought he was talking about Trail bike, and I was like "What's weird from trail bike, it's normal and it's common". And today, well actually this geometry isn't weird at all, it's just mind blowing..

[@djkelticvlogs2728]

Loved your trials riding martyn

[@TNStrikeman]

I love riding my comp bike its so satisfying when you nail a big gap.

[@TeamToast]

you're not wrong there pal

[@Y0UM4DBR0]

That bike is super fucking nice. Absolutely amaze. You can really tell the geometry kicks in when blake hops on. I wanna see blake trials vids for sure.

[@mads420c]

9kg !?!? where does all the weight come from?

[@durrantmiller8810]

Mads Tygesen tires and that it has an alloy fork

[@lucbosch9642]

Mads Tygesen it's a crewkerz jealousy and they have really thick aluminium tubes which gives the frame more stiffness and makes it more dent resisted. If we use smaller tubes the bike will flex more and the contact area for the welds will be to small, this will lead to cracks. Furthermore the jealousy is running an AS30 crank set which is quite heavy but super stiff.

[@Robyne_u61]

Thats pretty light

[@kristjanmagi1158]

Literally some hardtails weight 10-12kg's

[@electricdeckhead3083]

yep used to work on magura hydro rim brakes back in the 90's, when popular on the MTB scene, lol.

[@thexardas8395]

I still own 1996 Proflex Anymal with Magura hydro rim breaks. Very nice breaks, never had a problem no squeaking at all. 20 years old. I rode that bike on trails for 5 years. It is my commuter bike for last 15 years. Every component is original and still works. I only changed grips and tiers. Best bike I ever own including much more expensive CF road and mountain bikes.

Basicly, a 26 inch disc brake. Pretty strong
