And still they use a display the size of a brick. Might make sense on a city bike where you can display a route - but not on a mountainbike. Only a part that can break, fall off and it takes up a lot of space....

Those suspension compression tests would be a lot more interesting to me if they were done with a fixed BB and a moving rear axle.

@Krispy-at-Go-Ride: Maybe it’s not a 6bar-whatever anymore. It’s hard to tell, but it could also be similar to the Specialized system where the vertical link connects seat- and chainstays and drives the shock….

This was extraodinarily boring. I don’t see the point - just because it’s Brandon it’s supposed to be cool? His bike videos are on another planet, but this car-s’iding left and right turn jump video show nothing special that any other rally fricer could not do…. But I think any content that creates clicks is post-worthy….

@mikekazimer: Right - I see this point. But why drawing conclusions at the end then? Even though you think it's just for fun people will think the Privateer is a better climber than the Norco and so on. For me, a video like this is just a waste of time (and resources better spent for real testing). I gain no insights, never laughed and will be subconciously biased when I look into buying a new bike. But that's just my personal opinion :-)

This test is totally useless! You get 1 try per bike and that's it? You didn't even hit the same line with all the bikes! And then you come up to the log with the eBike and are totally surprised by it? Clearly you took a better approach with a proper set up when you came up with the Specialized which makes it totally unfair for the first bike. And whats the insight you gain anyways? If you manage a climb in 9/10 tries while the other bike only gets you 2/10, we can start talking about insights.... I really dislike tests like these because they give you a wrong impression. Pinkbike itself stated that idler pulleys create about 3% more drag. You really need to find me the guy that feels this difference on a rooty trail. I think there was a lot of "I know this bike must be worse at climbing" involved instead of neutral testing.

Go to vitalmtb - you'll get a good look at the new high pivot session in their RAW video at around 01:08 and a not so good one at 03:10 and a pretty good one at 05:00.....

There was a time when kids bikes were made from wood and made just as much fun. But hey - lets shout sustainability for all we do and save 0.00023% cardboard with a new packaging concept andwe're all set. It's only the kids future....

Funny that they requested the bolts to be servicable from one side and then decided to put them on the opposite side of the drivetrain where you spend quite a bit of time working on.... or did I miss something?
