Moving to Squamish was the best move you could have made for yourself and the channel well done 👏🏻
Thanks
@@LewisBuchananps it’s proper cold and miserable here right now 😂
Man this bike looks absolutely gorgeous
Cheers
(Edit: great to see regular uploads again)
Too soft at the start means you need less tokens and higher pressure. Tokens make the sus start soft but ramp faster. No tokens makes it linear. That’s how I understand it
🫡💪🏽
Or add compression
@@DamonCass Low speed compression or high?
When I upgraded to the charger 3 and new spring I ended up taking out tokens and running the pressure slightly higher. Seemed to make the tuning more effective and definitely improved the mid stroke.
@@leetori1 In his case, a bit of both, he says its not supportive enough at the top but doesnt specify if on the bumpy stuff or in corners. High speed compression would be if he blows through it too much on the chunky stuff and low speed if he blows through it in slow compressions like corners or big hits. Probably rather that I guess. Id add a little bit of both and if it doesnt get better, one less token and a bit higher pressure. I understood it like that as well so you cant be too wrong with it I guess hahaha
So glad my province and its incredible wilderness is utilized, preserved and shown & enjoyed for what it has to offer.
Enjoy the rides and a truly magical place to live Lewis!
Thanks so much
Sick video man. Footage looks sweet, sounds amazing and the tracks look unreal. The sound alone makes it seem that bike just eats everything up
Thanks
Really cool content man, good to have always honest feedbacks of what you test !!, enjoy the beast ! 🔥
Thanks
The bike is insane🔥 very good video bro🤘🏻
Thanks
You looked super smooth and fast on those runs, and the bike looks sick. Looking forward to the next ride upload 👌🏻🤙🏻
Thanks
Loved the vid lew, was like your old vids are back great suspension choice
Thanks !
Bike is looking absolutely Sick! is definitely a dream bike for me
Thanks
The bike is incredible. It gives you the confidence to ride the trails as fast as possible. Santa Cruz did an amazing job. Very nice.
Thanks!
I've been following you for a very long time, but this was one of the best videos I've ever watched in a long time🫡
Thanks so much. Appreciate it
Congrats on ALL the new sponsors this year! That bike is so silent and sexy all we hear is the floor and the free hub
Thanks!
Those trails look amazing 😮
So good!
You can’t go wrong with Santa Cruz and Maxxis. Bike looks great and trails look sick. Reminds me on Inners but I’m sure it’s even steeper and longer. The very best of luck mate. You raised the bar at the local races and motivated me and my mates. Keep up the great work. Setup and fitness will come. ❤
Thanks that’s such a cool thing to say. I appreciate it a lot
Yeses looking forward to this one hope the bike rides as well as it looks
💪🏽
IMO the nicest looking DH bike on offer at the moment
🙏🏽💪🏽
Great video! I love my Santa Cruz Bronson and Heckler. I think they make the best feeling bikes.
Nice, thanks
That is a very, very beautiful looking setup you have got there, lovely!! But please please give us a review of that Canyon you rode. Love your videos ❤️
Thanks
Something i wish i could move to whistler and live there ..
bike de feu !! on attends de voir la suite 🤘
💪🏽
Really nice looking bike and the DH trails look mental.. Good video
Thanks
This place looks awesome my old pal sick video dude ❤❤
Thanks my man
What a beautiful piece of art ……a stunning bike
Thanks
I'm really warming up to the choice of red they went with. My 2018 is dual 27.5 so I'm getting the 29'er lowers for my fork... but I am so jealous of your flip chips and reach adjustment, You're gonna fly on that rig for sure
💪🏽💪🏽🫡
Awesome man living the dream man! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 try messing with the high speed compression I think that might be the cause of the blowing thru!
Thanks
Love the fact u get more excited about the trails then the bike haha
Haha they are so awesome
Sick runs!
Thanks
Fire and flames my guy, fire and flames
Heck yeeeee
Best video so far
Cheers
Really like my grey 10.7 but man this .8 RED color is insane :D nice riding and super sick trails
Thanks!
@@LewisBuchanan i like the sponsoring concept (OF) alot btw giving you complete freedom to choose what you wanna ride is a sick way doing things!
I'm going to comment before watching the video, I dread to think how fast you will be on this horse!!!!
Thanks haha
Sick ! New bike again and again 😂
Thanks
Hey amazing video. One question what camera to use to record the POVs and with what settings?
Thanks it’s shot in a dji osmo action 4! 4k 24fps
How do you stabilise your footage? Incredible video!
Dji osmo action 4 cam does it all! Thanks
That new damper is totally different than the old debonair. Generally speaking, I would set you sag and then increase your damping, more high speed and rebound and then mess with volume reducers after you have dialed the damper. The volume reducers really garaged the ride in the new boxxer so just do them at the end.
💪🏽
The bike looks insane. The trail looked lovely too.
💪🏽🙏🏽
What a Bike...I have the same Feeling with the new RockShox Boxxer!I Drive many Years Fox 40 and now I tested the Boxxer...I don't know what I think about but How we See ..
nice
nice video I have a santacruz 5010, greetings from Italy
N ie
Nice*
4 tokens! man thats gonna be super progressive and hard towards the end of the travel. To be fair Rockshox is all I've known for 3 years and I like it.
💪🏽🙏🏽
Bike is so quiet.. Santa Cruz should use your video and a Demo:; Nice ride, awesome video.
Thanks! But they never would 😂
Please more Videos 😍
Yes! Coming every week
Proper jealous now, Squamish looks like a dream for downhill riding.
its unreal
I ride my rear shock 1 coil sometimes 2 coils stiffer than the site recommends so I can pop off the roots/rocks a little easier
Nice
Laps Monday if you want to shuttle!
Love he V10! Which Gopro are you running?
thanks. I am not using go pro. its a dii cosmo action 4
I’m 5,2 and I’m thinking about getting the v10 in the small size do you think it would fit me?
Damn. It’s just such a sexy bike
Thanks
Somehow feels dang good through the screen too 😂 not a fan of the hub sound though.
Haha!
From factory you have zero tokens in the 200mm ultimate, you can go up to 6.
I'm not jealous, it's not like if I read the service manual a thousand time and have this fork in all my carts of my favorite shops 😂
Hahaha😂
Bike looks mint, be sick to see you enter a crankworx dh, and put it to the test
Yup 🙏🏽
What trail is this? I’m moving from the UK to Canada in May and want to check it out. Sick riding!
In Squamish. Bhadi wire
Which hub are u riding, it’s sound amazing!!?
Stay tuned soon
I would like an advice from you, if you don't mind. You do not need to elaborerte but what would you recommend between Trans Madeira or a week in Squamish.
Oh damn!!! So tough. I’d rather Squamish. But trans Madeira is so so fun and an experience you should do
What a track
What a bike
What a rider
I think a ghost vid would be cool like what cathro used to do
Do a run change your setting so another run then show us the time difference
Might be hard though as sections of that trail look like once your on a line you just have to commit and see it through lol
Or as I do at the golfie hit it and hope to survive 🤣
Thanks a bunch
I watched a video on the boxxer recently and one of the head techs said that they had to try get the top boys off running 4-5 tokens and down to 1-2. I reckon 1 token would be a nice spot
czcams.com/video/NS5eMHooBVc/video.htmlsi=_Mcz8RCMgaqAHYGo unfortunately no timestamps on it so can’t remember where it’s mentioned.
Interesting, thanks
Trails look sick the bike look 🔥 but you need to replace the air cap 😂
thanks. haha I took it off to put air in and forgot to put it back on it. it is now back on
go pro audio so nice
Cheers
IMHO, definitely an error to slap extra tokens in before you've even ridden it. I'd say go back to the stock token config, reset the sag, put both comp adj to the centre position and then start fine tuning.
💪🏽🫡
I think it would be interesting compare with the commencal supreme v5?
I think so too
I'd say leave the fork alone until you get more familiar with the trails. Then increase fork pressure when you start railing harder.
🫡💪🏽
Move to the Island you dope. Prevost is where it's at. You may even be able to reignite your love for me.
dope, how would you compare the boxxer to ohlins?
Very similar. Both great
Which hubs are on that beast?
I’ve heard these new spring work best without tokens. Maybe worth a try without em
Interesting
DH all day baby! YEAH BOI! :D \m/
Yewww
@@LewisBuchanan YEEHHAAAAWWWW YEEWWW!!!
I just moved to BC as well, stoked AF to be here! Hope to shred with you sometime Lew, cheers!
Amazing looking bike the best yet i think.you will get the hang of the sus.ATB
Thanks
full carbon frame or has it a aluminium rear triangle ? can´t find any info online bout it
Fully carbon
Santa cruz frames run small. A large but other companies is xl with SC
💪🏽
Red always makes it faster 🤣⛳
🏎️
Do you think they will come out with another version soon?
Probably not
@@LewisBuchanan i was just wondering if i should wait
sick trail, def looks scary with a bit of jank
🙏🏽
Are you still using the action 4? ty
Yup
What’s the name of the trail ?
what happened to the raaw? it had such a nice paintjob 🤤
Gave it to OF as they wanted it
oh ok! btw i love the canadian content, keep living the dream and send it hard!@@LewisBuchanan
Thanks
comparing the front, ohlins or boxxer?
Tough to say right now honestly. Both very equal. But boxxer is so impressive
Hey hey, just wondering how heavy you are and what spring rate did you end up settling with? Thanks dude 👊🏾
Which hubs are you running?
Stay tuned soon 👀
The bike looks like it just eats up the ground like your riding a flat surface looks effortless
I normally put more p.s.i. in than your supposed to seems to make it a little stiffer works for me
Thanks
What gopro do you have?
Dji osmo action 4. Not a go pro
What goopro do you have?
.
Not a go pro. It’s a dji osmo action 4
What hubs are you running
Enve
1:11 Is 153psi high for the Boxxer?
With a bit of digging on the Rockshox website I can confirm it is not, the max is 300psi
300 psi is max
That is just too much loam for one video 😯
So what sponsor changes have you got this year versus what kit are you selecting to buy with your own dollars?
Just would be interesting to hear what you are running as a Privateer effectively being paid by OF - versus what actual dollar contracts you have from brands (versus just getting free kit, affiliate deals etc).
so I don't have a bike frame sponsor. everything else I have pretty much sorted and contracts with.
Damn that sponsor list is tight... going to need an XL Jersey for all those brands!
Nice bike. Still shou.d have gone for an Atherton am200.
🤷🏼♂️
do you keep the V10 bike?
Yes!!!
Silent as F..❤🔥💯
Oh yup
What’s the DH trail called?
Bhadi wire i think
@@LewisBuchanan must be unsanctioned! Can’t find it (or anything named similar) on Trailforks.
The lower trail is Space Jam ( unsanctioned) . It was hard to tell because he's going warp speed 😂
how do you get tp the top?
Drive up
@@LewisBuchanan Then how to you get the car down to where you riding?
Someone drives for you
👏🏻👏🏻👍
💪🏽
its sounds like you've got a hornets nest in the rear
It’s a sick hub
fast riders secret, feeling chased haha
@@LewisBuchanan it'll help scaring all those BC bears away LOL
@@LewisBuchananWhat hub is it?
All u need is more lube.
Lol starts bombing down the hill, don't know where I'm going yet. 😅
😂
You keep teasing like you are going to get some New, Mind Blowing, Technologicaly Advanced mountain bikes i.e. Structure Cycleworks SCW-1 or how about an UnnovEver or Antidote Dark Matter for Downhill but you just Keep on getting it the same ol' bikes that any schmo at the bike park gets. ☹️
I mean this bike is probably the best on the market so it’s worth it. Well maybe those bikes will come soon 👀🤷🏼♂️
V10 or Session?
V10
new what you was gonna say before ya said it LOL
😂
All I can hear is the enve hub, it’s SOOO loud
sounds great
It's to let the bears know riders are coming.😄
Yo is this the only fans guy
Little noisy bike but Good bike
💪🏽
T-minus 3 weeks until the frame cracks 😂
haha. I doubt that!
You can bin your bikes by giving them to me :)
Haha
