Swap tyres on the yt for testing but not the trek… seems a bit unfair, either run them all as standard or put control tyres on them all so you can feel the difference in the bike more easily…

My first modern mtb is a 2023 marin alpine trail xr…. i call it a mini gun, it only wants double black trails it needs steep chonk… my year is dual coils, replaced stock wheels and raced an enduro at ride rock creek for its second ride. Ate it up, upgraded a few things… my mini gun hasn’t failed yet, tore the pisgah enduro up 2 weeks ago 32 miles n 5500 ft of climbing… yeah i wish it didnt weigh 38 pounds but doesn’t flinch when pointed downhill 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wait for next spring when you can get these entire bikes for 50% off… 😊. Will be racing downhill with it in 2025 and all WNC enduro races yeehawww…

Thanks Anna, that's an interesting point! Thankfully Trek approve the Slash for use with up to a 190mm travel fork, so you could definitely up the travel if required. ~ Will

These are "better" than the RM Altitude, Yeti SB160, Ibis HD6, or Transition Spire? The Capra is an easy win in this bunch of 3, it's a great bike and there's a reason why it's the bike of choice for privateer enduro racers, but I can't see the Slash with its troublesome idler or the Marin being basically just a park bike outdoing 4 bikes which are absolute weapons when pointed downhill.
@ProWhiteAntiJew4 күн бұрын
Yea I was wondering where the rim altitude was in this comparison as that would likely be the winner of this group.

the whole bike industry is going downhill.. they invented categories like 'enduro' and 'downcountry' to sell more bikes and raise prices.. now trek is slashing enture models and skus... MTBs have broken the $20k mark in canada.. just say no

I'm seeing deals everywhere. Got my norco sight c2 for 3k new this spring which I think was fair compared to the crazy covid pricing. But certainly there's always the crazy 10k+ bikes out there.

@rottieshepcalibre9156Ай бұрын
What the bike size’s. You mentioned reach but what size frame?
@smigielko28 күн бұрын
Nowadays the mountain bike size is measured by reach, rather than seat tube length. Seat tubes between frame sizes are sometimes the same length to allow for longer dropper posts. Stand over height could be taken into consideration when choosing a bike for a shorter person. Ideal reach also varies between MTB types. For the same person an ideal XC bike could have a 5-10mm shorter reach than an enduro bike. Most websites have suggested reach for a set of human heights. I am 176cm and I usually go for around 460. The Atherton bikes website has a nice calculator.

Specialized enduro is still nuking in 2024. It not landing in the finale shows the bias to push new product not best product. Mega tower though being sale priced is still good. And the criminally underated spartam is still deadly in 2024.
