"Vertically Challenged?" Sounds ableist. I believe the correct verbiage is "Untall."

Curious how tall people, when they dies, become long, but short people remains short even when they are dead

It's the literal translation from the new French P.C. language : "verticalite contrariee".
It's not meant bto be offensive, just a bad translation.

Next production cycle they'll introduce a New High Performance Wheel Size tailored to "vertically challenged" riders: 26"

naptime FL (Sep 28, 2022 at 21:22)

I'll take one in XXL plez

vinay FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 3:17)

Oh wait, you call me vertically challenged? I haven't even mulleted it with a 24" rear wheel. (I do have a very Specialized one that does, though).

BenPea (Sep 29, 2022 at 3:56)

@naptime: L frame 26ers were the ugliest products built by any industry in the entire history of humanity.

vinay FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 5:23)

@BenPea: I disagree. My frame is size L with 26" wheels and I think it looks fine. It is a high top tube and a long seattube paired with a relatively short bike that makes it look unfun. But with a 1214mm wheelbase, 63deg HA, 460mm reach and a 400mm seattube it doesn't look like any less fun to me than much of the big-wheeled stuff released nowadays.

naptime FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 6:08)

and also... in the modern day of long low an slack most stand overs are very similar across sizes. Seat towers an length denotes sizes. modern geos get rid of the 'farm gate' look despite the wheel size

sjma (Sep 29, 2022 at 6:21)

@vinay: what bike is that? Sounds like a good time

fiatpolski (Sep 29, 2022 at 6:25)

@BenPea: XL frames disagree, LOL.

BenPea (Sep 29, 2022 at 7:10)

@naptime: I know it was a joke, I just wanted to say it, even if nobody gives a shit. XL even worse.

naptime FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 8:35)

@BenPea: yeah, thing is I think these modern super long, super slack super low bikes look just as fugly. Sick bikes for example.... look just as farm gate even with 29

vinay FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 12:27)

@sjma: BTR Ranger size L for 26" wheels, but with the seat tube lowered to 400mm in order to get an even lower top tube. I wanted to top tube low enough so that with cranks level, my knees would be above the top tube so that I have all the room to move around over the bike. Good time indeed

I need a bike for being skills challenged.

Readochris (Sep 28, 2022 at 21:34)

Heaps of options out there now; They’re called e-bikes

BenPea (Sep 29, 2022 at 3:52)

@Readochris: e-bikes are harder to handle. Not sure who is upvoting this and why (I do know why). Skills =/= legs.

louiefriesen (Sep 29, 2022 at 10:19)

@BenPea: No, I find that 29ers are harder to handle than 27.5 ebikes.

BenPea (Sep 29, 2022 at 11:06)

@louiefriesen: I just rode a Megatower (M) and a Turbo Levo (S) back to back over several days and the Santa Cruz felt like a dirt jumper in comparison.

louiefriesen (Sep 30, 2022 at 14:29)

@BenPea: I guess it varies bike to bike and geometry but my DeVinci AC is just as agile as a buddy’s Remedy, and another buddy’s 27.5 Trance (I think).

You won't be allowed on the lift unaccompanied anyway if you need one of these

405mm reach vs 425mm on size Small

mtb-jon (Sep 28, 2022 at 22:43)

@wobblegoblin: to short for 29, to tall for this bike. Feels bad

AndrewHornor (Sep 28, 2022 at 18:42)

I'm 6'1" and scared of jumping, is it a good fit for me?

saladdodger (Sep 28, 2022 at 22:04)

YES... and please don't forget to upload some videos!

AndrewHornor (Sep 29, 2022 at 11:47)

I used to ride medium frames in the early 2000's because I wanted the standover. The dimensions must have been similar. Sorry there are no videos!

(My original comment was funnier before "vertically challenged" got removed from the headline)

That corner exit pic is badass!

remoh (Sep 29, 2022 at 9:52)

"specific series of tubes" TBD!

maglor FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 0:16)

Just 10 years ago this bike with 27.5 wheels and a 405 reach would of been a pretty modern medium maybe almost a large, a medium V10 or Session of the day had sub 400 reach and 26" wheels, shows just how big bikes have got.

downhiller900sl (Sep 29, 2022 at 5:24)

Thing is 10 years ago 27.5 wasn't even out yet, anyway, you're right. I have a Turner DHR in XL and the reach is 426, y also have a M front triangle and it's 390 reach.

downhiller900sl (Sep 29, 2022 at 5:24)

It's a 26er by the way

mtb-duke (Sep 28, 2022 at 20:42)

My wife is going to be so stoked. Hard to find a bike for 4'11" shredders.

Gwizard FL (Sep 29, 2022 at 4:58)

if you're tall does it work as a downhill slope bike? can i put 26 on it? asking for a friend.

ajaypate1 (Sep 29, 2022 at 5:14)

pinkibke your like 6 monthss late to this

Jolinwood (Sep 28, 2022 at 22:02)

ohhhhh dang I read too fast and thought they updated the supreme sx

endoguru (Sep 29, 2022 at 6:22)

The soundtrack seems a little odd for a bike video, but I kind of like it. Anyone know who it is?

fnk (Sep 30, 2022 at 14:47)

Looks like bike, but smaller.

JSTootell (Sep 30, 2022 at 16:47)

Reach is still a little too long for my GF. Maybe an XXS? 390ish would be nice.

NickShepherd (Sep 28, 2022 at 16:30)

It's "Atall" I'll have you know.

Sshredder (Sep 28, 2022 at 16:50)

Sacha rips on the bike !

1aTom (Sep 28, 2022 at 22:49)

pls build xxl meta..big rider's

Tambo (Sep 28, 2022 at 23:40)

I'm glad they're not offering this for tall riders.......

swellhunter (Sep 29, 2022 at 3:14)

The Commencal Supreme DH XST (extra small tall) - but if you buy that bike and are tall but extra small then people may assume things about your other assets and gossip in the lift line.

RedBurn (Sep 28, 2022 at 17:04)

Useless bs. The bike a kid will ride 2 sessions before being able to go to a standard S size. I believe no one asked for this, they wont sell 50 of these

You've not been to Whistler recently it sounds like.

nvranka (Sep 30, 2022 at 9:50)

@remoh: what do you mean?

remoh (Sep 30, 2022 at 14:19)

@nvranka: there are a million kids on fancy bikes, more and more year after year. It's not a stretch to think these will be a hit, especially with the increasing numbers of female riders too.

nvranka (Sep 30, 2022 at 15:20)

@remoh: ah, I dno…dh bikes are few and far between these days. I still have mine and love it, but I’m often one of the few, even at whis.

All the kids are on tricked enduro bikes.

suspended-flesh FL (Sep 30, 2022 at 20:09)

@nvranka: Yep. I sold my DH bike at a 'loss' a couple months ago to help keep the scene alive but enduro bikes is everything. Expecting several at Rampage 2022...I couldn't spin my bar on purpose to save my life but I'm the Past. RIP Civilization. I hope Dylan kills it on a 'MX' Capra just to piss ppl off.
