    Team Revel Rascal! ( and by that I mean team buying the Rascal V1 after V2 dropped) 😅

    I'm done with 29, idc if uts faster, 27.5 is so much more fun and durable

    Well, I just purchased the Jeffsy based on the recommendation of this video. I’m really hoping I will enjoy it! Thanks!

    Devinci Marshall have a excellent price tag for the equipment !

    I think the Scor 4060 is a nice and versatile trail bike. I also like the Revel Rascal.
  • @SylvainProov
    the new Jeffsy looks very nice. I really considered to buy one, but i ended with a SCOR 4060 ST GX ahahah

    Trail bikes are now the underrated ones unfortunately. Somehow everyone thinks they’re superstars on their enduros while dying on their 200m elevation rides lol
  • @ChampionGaming
    My fav so far is the Orbea Occam H20 LT, with Deore drive

    A very useful and practical topic. Thanks. I wish that you had at least briefly identified your #2 & #3 picks for each category. Viewers would learn more if you had included that extra useful detail. Keep up the good work. Surprised by the Stumpy being #1 for the high end. I own that bike (2023, S5, 200 lbs). It bobs like crazy in out-of-the-saddle climbing, even in a more locked-out setting. That is the bike's big weakness. I feel like the bike demands that I remain seated in climbs. Annoying. Not certain why it is this way with this bike.

    Just got a Marin Rift Zone a few months ago although I did upgrade, 142 to 148 rear and Sunrace to Shimano Linkglide Cassette, PNW Ranier dropper post and a Pike Select RC and a Marzochhi Bomber Air Metric Shock. I do not recommend you get it through Jenson though!

    My favorite bike I've ridden is a Pivot Switchblade. I have a SB130, Tallboy 4 and while both are excellent, the Switchblade is my pick. My first full suspension was a 2018 Jeffsy and it was a great ride! Agree on that pick for sure!
