@7:53 I feel like switchbacks are this bikes absolute biggest downfall. It feels very planted, and it needs a lot of speed to feel playful. I love my enduro, but it’s definitely a VERY specific bike. I was super impressed how well it pedals. Almost no pedal bob. I have had the bike for about a week. I want to flip the chip in the shock to the high setting to see how it feels. I had to get a wolf tooth dropper post lever because the stock one gouged my left thumb. The engagement on the stock rear hub is garbage too, an instant upgrade to a hydra or something else is a necessity IMO. Wow. I didn’t realize how many gripes I had with the bike. Overall I really like the bike though!
Hi, sick bike.i am planning to get one myself .what's the size of your bike, and what's your heigh? I am 177cms (roughly 5ft 10"), and I am getting a S3 with the dealer. Should that be ok, or should I look for S4, but getting that during this global shortage, is quite unlikely..
I am 176 cm and i feel quit ok with an s4 if you like a race bike but if you want it a bit more playful bike then go with s3 but it depens what you like to ride and what kind of geometry you like.
Hi, there, could you add link or location where you ride? I am just interested with terrain. How noticeable is the weight of the bike, if you would be honest - not owner biased :) ?
The riding in this video was in south Knoxvilles urban wilderness trails. It has a good mix of flow and tech trails. The wait of the bike isn't to noticable. As it sits now it weights 35lbs and is really easy to move around. It can feel a little heavy climbing but overall feels really nimble and snappy.
@@uk2usamtb421 Wow .. just 15,88kg with pedals, what size? I thought that this was for S-Works, did you do some upgrades of your own? I am in recovery, so I am ridding Turbo SL, but as they say number of bikes you need is always N+1. :) I'm ridding on the eco mode so I can squeeze near 60km out of internal, but I am not sure this one would like to be beaten on some steep terrain, therefore exploring the idea of Enduro.
I have two different setups. Alot of my videos used my gopro session and a wg2x gimbal but latley I have been using the gopro hero 7 black. Both on a chest harness
@@reuben911 I don't use the gimbal for the hero 7 just the built in stabilization. I followed the loan rangers guide on how to set up the camera and it helped alot
@@uk2usamtb421 thanks, that's my setup to it's just that your video was a little smoother than mine but i guess that's cause i ride really rocky trails on my hardtail. is that baker creek knoxville? i love that place!

@@michalwiktorow2188 no real big upgraded made it tubeless and added and upgrade kit to the shock. The Enduro does steep stuff very well.
Bike may be overkill for those trails
Beautiful either way!
I have always wanted and felt more comfortable on a long travel bike. It is pushing me faster on the downhills and hopefully making me stronger up.
hey whats your camera setup
I have two different setups. Alot of my videos used my gopro session and a wg2x gimbal but latley I have been using the gopro hero 7 black. Both on a chest harness
@@uk2usamtb421 is the hero 7 in a gimbal?
and what fov do you use?
