Welcome to the Unicorn Bikes channel! If you want in-depth bike reviews, you came to the right place!
Ok, hear me out
A lot of bike brands are calling mullets "MX". But MX bikes have fatter rear tires. I decided to apply this MX style mullet to a hardtail mountainbike. Should you run mixed wheel and tire size?

GRAVNESS, THE ULTIMATE BIKE NICHE! Canyon Roadlite to gravel bike.
zhlédnutí 6KPřed rokem
Downcountry, slopeduro, both of these are mainstream in 2023. I decided to build something truly new and innovative with this gravness bike. I turned my Canyon Roadlite into a gravel bike. Does this make sense? And how is it different from a 90's mtb? No idea, I haven't ridden it yet. Want more frequent content? Check out the links below: Instagram: Unicorn_Bikes

Kavenz VHP16 First Ride Impressions on loose trails
you should work at your weight
6:59 there are three output options; high, low & flashing. Just click to cycle through them. Great little light 😊
Hey, did you added 1 rockshox token in the fork because it was diving too much? Or…?
Hi, how did you change the stem and the spacer where the cables pass through?
Just an afternoon of swearing and bleeding brakes
Throw away that Gates belt and get a chain. You will be much faster (about 2 km/h) and cycle further. That's 20 km difference per day on a longer trip. Ant that shifter is a monstrosity.
Hi, do you still have the P-Train? Any thoughts after owning for a while?
Still own it, Still a great bike. Probably should have bought something half the price instead but whatever lol
Awesome review!! Wanna ride together ? I live also in Belgium and ride enduro too😊
A mullet hardtail. I didn’t see that coming!😮
Check my last video if you want to see a really good mullet hardtail ;)
Being 6ft does it feel on the smaller side and do you wish you went for the XL
Size is ok, it could be a little longer to feel more like my enduro bike. Always a little strange swapping
thx ey
How does this one compare to the Roscoe 6?
I don't care about the advantages, they can be found in advertising brochures. However, in review you mentioned all the major design flaws that I also notice as a user. Yes, plastic headset are a complete failure, squeak from the first meters. Well done.
WOW! I wonder if they sell that bolt separately now, after all the negative press.
They are beyond bad, I’ve had three sets over the past 8yrs and they all failed within a year, mostly water ingress but lots and lots of soft wear issues too.
What size is the garden hose container do you use????
Love the honesty instead of all the bullshit and how fantastic these bikes are! Well done.
I lost mine too. I replaced it with a different bolt
how about sks for carbon frames ?
No way you're spending money on a spring? Lol...
Well, crap. Was thinking of buying these. Maybe go with my tried and true Zee brakes instead.
so you can't use a normal thru axle say if you got a set of 148 dt swiss?
Is it good for jumping?
I don't remember the last time I watched such a great review. Succint and up to the point, covered everything we need to know about the bike. The video editing is also great. Keep it up!
New dream bike. Acto5 P-train with Intend suspension and brakes 😮
The bolts are probably the same as rsc codes
Just got a SAM 6.9 with the upgraded battery lid/flap and hit the bash guard 3 times during a 30km ride riding over slow drops. My sag was 30% on the shock so maybe a little low?? but getting a new spring to drop sag and maybe this will help. I think they put the battery to low on this bike.
Mine has been in the bikeshop for just over a month now for the upgrade
@@UnicornBikes went for a ride with bigger spring and the battery tray hit the ground 1/2 the time. Also my DIY fibreglass/Carbon fibre bash guard worked well as it hugs the lower down tube and under the battery door so when it did get hit it wasnt that bad.
Yoo i was the kid on the pump track i was there with my dad and his friends hahaha i was laughing when i saw myslef😂
Hello and thank you for an amazing reviews on some pinion bikes. I understand how much resources & effort it takes, but it would be definitely very much helpful if you would review a new option with smart shift on dropbars. We would appreciate that very much. Thanks again, have a great day:)
Hardtail with a fatter tyre makes a lot of sense, but why aren't tyres taller rather than wider and taller?
Maxxis has a WT tire range which does the opposite of what you just described. Perhaps bike tires should list width and aspec ratio like car and motorbike tires do?
Great Idea. Because it's mine too since I love handrail for it's simplicity and my friend bought a 27.5+ bike which has a 29er forkfrom factory. And i also saw ot on the motorbike.
Btw, you ride better then all those sponsored women on instagram. You really dont suck at it especially how you hit those jumps
But my cornering tho, I always comment on people who look like they're having a poo on the bike, yet I do the same myself lol
I smell dutch
I don't think this was clickbait. You delievered. The title summed up the content. I would never buy from such a company.
"Chloe" strikes again!
Do you know what brand freehubs fit these
Check out effigear…same bolt pattern as pinion but you don’t have to back off the watts between gears 3-4 and 9-10 (if I remember correctly) and electric shifting
I just saw the new version with electronic shifting. There may be a new video soon-ish
Fantastic review.
Your video is dishonest. It has nothing to do with Hayes or the product and how its engineered . The issue is the distributor because of where you live and Hayes ultimately did get back to you and was willing to help you out.
I dont get why you had to re-route the cables, I have the 2022 version and love the clean routing.
Thanks for that
Have you had the v2 battery cover fitted? Ive just had mine fitted and its alot better
No, I will call the LBS out this now as I broke yet another cover this weekend...
Ok so I now have the new upgraded, metal bashplate version. However, I noticed the rear wheel was loose and all bolts were torqued to spec. Bike is currently at my not so local bike store. Why didn't they just tell me about the upgraded cover is beyond me...
@@UnicornBikes they didn't know about the upgrade cover. The focus rep for my area didn't know there was an upgrade. Really poor communication from focus to it's staff and suppliers. I'm glad you've got it fixed though
Agreed with the review. I have the 2021 model, which was better IMHO. Easy battery cover, mullet compatible.
I agree. I have the 2022 bike and love it. Easy to take the battery on and of the bike. Great bike to ride. But lack of good trails where I live. :(
Would it be any good for cleaning the car as well ? Nice video !!
I enjoy music on bike riding videos. I've also got a 2023 Sam squared which is frustrating😂
In the Jam2 8.8 they have already changed the cable routing system, at least in December 2023. Seen in bike store.
Can i ask you if on ebike flow app, in device section you see the option to add powermore range extender? Focus says me on email that thos bike is compatible with the new bosch range extender
Hi Laurence, thanks for your video. I am about to purchase a used version of this exact bike. I was just wondering though, what do you think are the maximum tire clearance of this inflite, especially on the rear.
Hello, I managed to fit a 38c tire on mine and maybe you got go up to 40, but really tight
Thank you Laurence!
Never trust in a new company! you can win the lottery or has the worst experience ever! better with proved companies!
Good looking bike!!
From Oz … yes, a lovely bike and I would buy one BUT THE SHIFTER, definitely a deal breaker and the Cinq shifters are not much of an improvement because of impact on packing bags etc onto the bars. Sorry, Pilot and Pinion, better solutions are needed.
