Hyper Explorer 29er Long Term Review

- Finally coming back to the channel after a long hiatus and wanted to touch on the Hyper Explorer 29er. For a sub $300 bike, it's got a lot going for it and just might be the best budget bike for either a second/third bike or better yet someone starting out hitting the trails and not wanting to fork over a bundle of money instantly.

You need to be on the radio or doing voice over stuff.
I remember watching your bike projects years ago. Thinking this guy was born to be heard.
For what its worth .
Thanks, I'll take the compliment (always boosts the ego just a bit), and I guess this is kind of my own way of doing that, here on CZcams. Might lead to something someday!
Love that color!
It's an electric blue, really stands out.
Well thought out review. I want to start riding again and this appears to be a solid low-end bike. I'm 65 and I used to race motocross as a teenager. I no longer have a desire to "send it" , but like riding the trails.
Thanks
I would highly recommend this or check out the Ozark Trail Ridge for not much more money. I've heard nothing but pure praise for the Ozark Trail as well, and this Hyper has served me very well and will get a few notable upgrades in time (already have the fork and pedals to do).
Thanks for dropping by, hope to see you stick around for more!
Might as well watch on the 2nd channel too! Going to upgrade?
Absolutely! It'll be a budget build, in keeping with the inexpensive nature of the bike, but solid. Already have a fork to go on, will make a video of it.
Have one!cost me 185.00! I love it.I am 70 years old
Awesome! Glad to have you dropping by!
I haven’t looked in depth because I’m not shopping for a new bike but the ozark trail vibe gives this a run for its money. I have this hyper because it’s so pretty lol. Is it worth replacing the fork right away or use and abuse it for a couple years first?
Edit: Recovering from surgery so I haven’t ridden it yet.
I'm actually considering buying an Ozark Trail to test out on this channel, considering I've heard nothing but amazing praise of it.
I'm still building the Hyper for now, and I'd honestly replace the fork pretty quick as it's one of the worst parts of the bike. I've got a Bucklos one to test out if you're willing to wait around a bit and it might be a reasonable upgrade vs the terrible pogo stick the Hyper has stock.
@@MongooseJake I have an Ozark Trail Vibe and I love it! I understand the Ridge is even better.
@@DannyBurrisfitness Absolutely the Ridge is a good bike! I've only gotten a quick little spin on one and a nice and thorough inspection, but I'm pretty confident in saying it's likely the best base level mountain bike on the market currently. The Vibe is a solid bike for all around use, but the Ridge is basically what all bike brands had been selling for around $600-$750 just a couple of years ago, but it's only about $400.
I'd love to build either a OT Ridge, or one of the new Schwinn Axums, and also the new Mongoose Switchbacks, but alas I'm just a average working guy with limited funds, lol. Only so many dollars to go around for bikes.
Can you tell what size is the frame
If I remember right, 17.5” medium. My preferred size on a 29er.
