The Carbon Snabb Ridden in Three Different Ways - Video

Some time ago we gave our top enduro bike, the Carbon Snabb E, to three riders. Three different personalities, different riding styles, and different locations.

First to lay his hands, feet, and butt on the bike was Michał Kollbek. He took the Snabb to Mount Willson in LA area. The day was hot and dry and both rider and camera operator had some distance to cover. The funny (or rather scary!) thing is that Radek—the man behind the camera—got lost on his way back and nearly fainted because of dehydration!

Never gonna see that guy unhappy after a bike ride.

Secondly, we got to Sam Pilgrim who was having a blast in Whistler a few days before 2016 Crankworx event. Unfortunately, back problems eliminated Sam from competing in Joyride, but that doesn't mean he didn't use his time properly. We caught him on the good old A-Line. Sam used to go for his DH bike on this kind of courses, but since we gave him the enduro, the big rig is saved for really huge stuff.

Happy face
Put on your happy face!

Last but not least—Sławek Łukasik. The DH European Champion, definitely the fastest of the trio. Slawo was training in Italy, getting ready for the World Champs. Sławek is really focused on his DH goals but enjoys his time on the enduro bike. He even competed in the last EWS event in Finale Ligure, finishing 32rd.

In this day and age putting E on the name of a bike is just a marketing blunder.

 Hi guys, sorry for making you confused. The original title was kind of different, but the PB editorial change it to make it more clear. That's the way we name the Snabb bikes: "T" for trail, "E" for enduro. We're still a bit conservative about the e-bikes ;-)

 @cuban-b: Even if people haven't seen or know of the video, they probably don't want too.

 @superdupertroper: Pretty sure the reason people don't tell other people what the referenced video is about is because they want to others to be just as curious as they were about what it was, then surprised, shocked and revolted all at once so they could share their pain.

 Solitary dude unloads bike from car at top of hill, rides bike down hill. Then what happens? He walks back up the hill? Why do bike vids always have this stupid shot?

Except that one costal crew vid where dude rides a moto back up the hill to pick up the truck. that was rad.

 Hate to be a naysayer, but this isn't a bike being ridden in three different ways, all of them are basically riding downhill...

If it had been, say, downhill, cross country and then some trials on an enduro bike (Ala Danny MacAskill) then it would have been three different disciplines and showcased the versatility of the bike. Perhaps a touch misleading?

 Dude those Mt. Wilson steeps are gnarly, especially the last chute. The first guy crushed that section!

 @Earthmotherfu: Snabb and Anti CJ are very similar in terms of handling. However Anti kills it in suspension department.
