Aweseome bike! Will be so fun to shake that thing out on some new trails.

I'll do some break-in/test runs at Seatac just so I can just get familiar with it before going out to a more dedicated longer distance ride.

More more more we want more !!!!!!!!!!

[@houseofvoigt]

So rad !!!!!!!!!!

[@yuri_on_youtube]

It is a super duper cool bike. Beyond my expectations.

[@abstraddic0442]

Tight bike ! I'd love to see you ride a endura trail on it or atleast a serious trail !

[@yuri_on_youtube]

I'll try and do that. My GoPro has been sensitive to heat but if it holds stable, I'll record a run down on Tiger Mountain (look up on Trailforks. It's a network of trails in Washington state).

[@abstraddic0442]

@@yuri_on_youtube cool! Yeah GoPro's have been horrible lately my hero black 9 only works when it wants to. Keep up the good work 👍

[@ajit458570]

informative video good one do follow up on thius after a year also

[@yuri_on_youtube]

That's definitely the plan for a future video.

[@houseofvoigt]

Congratulations! That is a beautiful bike ! Curious in another channels review of this bike the reviewer had a total disdain for the handle bars. How do you like them ?

[@yuri_on_youtube]

I haven't spent a lot of time riding yet to see if I dislike the handlebars but they are a bit too wide at Tapeworm, so I may have to cut them down to 720. However, my reluctance is that this bike feels it is sensitive to narrowing out the handlebars less than its stock set up.

[@cliffordrichardc]

is that have dropper post

[@yuri_on_youtube]

It is a dropper post.

[@houseofvoigt]

Is it still broken ?

[@yuri_on_youtube]

I had to go to a specialty screws place for parts. Shout out to Tacoma Screw for helping me with pivot hardware. Otherwise, I'd be waiting until July for pivot hardware from GT.
