This thing is 2500W. Not far off what the big bike companies are making in looks. Wonder which of the big bike companies will be first to step over the 500W line and say that it's only suitable for private property use, like this one. My money is on Specialized.

Ya they look like a blast with that kinda power.

Check out the 8:50 point of this vid

My Enduro bike is like my skis. If you get forward and attack it really does the job. If you are having a day of holding back, being a bit apprehensive, well that's the day you are having. I too being self employed, mortgage, family, take that into consideration and wonder is it worth the risk? Some days I feel unstoppable, other days just out for a fun rip and happy to get home in one piece. We all have our white whale, features we haven't cleaned, maybe I will never clean it, maybe I will....... I try to keep mountain biking in the fun category, not the frustration category.

"It lets you go further and discover new trails that you would never have ridden before”

“you will master climbs that you have never even attempted”

“you can join any group of mountain bikers without sticking out like a sore thumb”..

Because you are lazy.

Hard pass....I skipped the article and came straight to the comments. NSMB posted this for a joke right? Is it April 1st already?

My fave is vids of the so called sponsored guys roosting our fave loamers.

Douche factor to 11.

Looks like for the price it's a good buy. Just needs a couple things swapped.

It's the same colour as my old Rocky Oxygen. Nice throwback.

Good honest review Andrew.

Never looks as steep on the helmet cams as it actually is. The 8 min mark puts it into perspective... Bike!

When I say get my hands on it, I mean trying it on before I buy it. Have a pretty big love hate relationship relationship with CRC. Got dinged pretty bad by customs last time I ordered, there is endless threads on this site as you know. If It doesn't fit and I have to send it back who covers the duty charges? It's just too much hassle ordering outside Canada. Plus I try to support my LBS's they have always been really good to me.

Anyways, good review, maybe one day someone will seriously try to carry this companies stuff, it looks great. It's just strange that they have you reviewing and promoting something that is hard to get, that's all.

Seems to be an explanation for each event. Just find the Pentagon event pretty bizarre how a hijacker hit the 60- 70 foot high building with such accuracy. Like Luke Skywalker taking out the deathstar with a passenger plane full of people

Fun to ponder yes?

A one in a million shot kid.

Stay on target porkins

Yes. Love Nelson. Funny how it reminds me so much of the Cove. Steep streets down to the water. Stoked to be there next week.

As a follow-up, we did two rides:

Mountain Station pedal: climbed up Badger, Honey, Shasta etc. and rode Skirt, Fat Chance, Tiger Buckle/Five Knuckle, Legalize It. Awesome trails, nice steep fall line tech with well built jumps and drops. Surprised some of the stuff was rated blue, could be a rude awakening even for people used to Sea to Sky blues.

Powerslave shuttle: got dropped at the lower entrance to lower part of Powerslave, shuttle guy said upper wasn't worth the ride but I think next time we would go for it anyway. Bottom part of Powerslave and Bear's Den outstanding trails, more fall line tech with fun doubles, option lines and cool wood work on Bear's Den. Pedaled up Toughnut which was a grindy climb that mellowed higher up. Got confused by a new logging road and missed Upper Goldmember, jumped into Lucky Charms and Gold Rush, fun more rocky trails and then into Waldorfian which was awesome steep tech, highly recommended.

Nelson is amazing, so glad I got to finally ride there. Will be back every summer for sure.

Headed there next week. Who shuttled you up to Powerslave? Did you try the Vein trail at Mtn. Station? Looks super techy :)

Ha cute, slow dirtbikes.

Question... Was driving the other day and clocked an ebike that looks like a motorcycle doing 55km. Had the this is an ebike plate on the back, sure looked like a streetbike.  Could see the little crank arms on the side, but wasn't pedaling. Obviously over 500w, easily obtainable. Wonder what the legal/insurance ramifications are if he gets involved in a vehicular accident. I notice drivers being confused by ebikes that look like motorbikes.

Can you post the footage of the plane hitting the pentagon? That would be great

Just for the record, I said it is a fun watch. The pentagon thing really makes no sense. No footage, no giant ditch from the plane hitting the ground before impact.

This is a fun watch

When my 80 pound coonhound rode with me for the last 8 years before he had to retire from long trail rides, I never saw any animals up close on rides or runs. If we did it was way off in the distance.  Couple times we had seen a cougar I would command him to start barking and the thing would split. When anything was around he would act strange and start acting up that it was pretty obvious that something was in the area.  I have seen way more bears up close now he doesn't go on rides with me anymore.

is the video that freaks me out. In most of the cougar vids I see, the cougar hightails it out of there and isnt a threat, but the bad ass cat in this vid is different; I think that this guy was about to get attacked. 

Im of the (very naive, as Ive never even seen a cougar) view that if in a situation such as this (one where the cougar appears planning its attack) you need to attack the cougar before it attacks you. I think that cougars are calculating animals and unless its defending a kill, if you change whose terms the encounter is on its more likely to run away....but I dont know. I admit to being a bit freaked out about it lately..... especially since skooks saw momma cat and kitten where he did...I ride deep in the woods on the shore, alone almost all the time and in places where I can go 10 rides without encountering anyone on foot or on bike.....Like I said, Im spooked after googling some videos on it!

The only time an animal didn't back off was last year on the traverse trail over to Antagonizer from BLT. A Huge Coyote tracked us and the dogs for a long ways, wasn't too worried but surprised how long it was tailing us.
