I'm an old timer and it's pretty unreal to see how (relatively) light and nimble these bikes are given how hard they are being ridden, that's the progress of bike tech though.
Brandon Semenuk's and Kurt Sorge's bikes running 27.5 front and 26 rear. That's going to blow some minds.
It totaly makes sence. Smaller wheels make the bike more agile while in the air. If you combine the 26' back wheel with a custom shorter rear, the bike also get's easier from the ground and rotates way easier. The smaller wheel also can take more abuse. The real thing that should blow some minds is that 29er are boring, mostly if you are a sunday rider, not going on world cup to find the last fraction of a second on brutal terrain. Trust me I have a BMX background :D
I run 27.5 / 26 mix wheel on an old 2004 Schwinn S40 full sus. Love the wheel set up but frame is way outdated
So is Rheeder
Its nothing new my guy, plenty did last year
Notice they never said anything about the smaller wheels on the video? I wonder why that should be the biggest thing to talk about
Love it...."buddy behind us will pay". It doesn't get more Canadian than that! 🤣🤣🤣👏
That Norco paint job 😮!!!!
Alex sounded like a combo of stoked, baked, and tired all in one 😅🤘
He sounds like cbum 😅
No mention of Brandon's short cage AXS derailleur or the what seems to be custom AXS paddle for his sifter.
He's had those derailleurs for so long I'm beginning to think they're not prototypes anymore and just his personal bodge job
Pretty easy to make one, I've got a axs X01 12spd and a mechanical X01 dh mech, so basically just put the DH cage on the AXS and boom, cassette I've made a custom one to perfectly match the 12 speed spacing and gearing i like 🤙I'm no Semenuk but i am pro mechanic
@@lexusstefan927 interesting! So do you just adjust your limiter in so you don't shift into the spokes?
@@lexusstefan927 i did this too. gx axs with gx dh cage. Interestingly, it shifts better on a 7 speed gx dh cassette than on a dura ace 12 speed cassette. With regards to shifting in 7 speed, i use a really long screw for the low limit to avoid the chain from going over the last cog.
@@dukenukem3dfx572 in reality you could just use a 12 speed road cassette
Great work Christina, thanks, cheers
Semenuk being a trend setter again. Single crown Rampage this year.
He did it last year
@@vidieitis that’s what he meant he did it last year and now there’s multiple people doing it
Exactly that, Jeremy. He was the only one last year and this time there are three single crown forks.
It feels a little bit like the late 2000s again, when everyone at free ride events had that silver totem.
Rheeder had a single crown in 2012
@@Hubertus210 yeah I'm pretty sure there have been plenty single crowns before. Paul Bass is the one that springs to mind.
It wasn't new last year, but it certainly turned heads and that's why there are two more this year.
Been waiting for this vid a long time haha
Been waiting for this video for weeks
cheering for Alex!!🤗
That Evil looks sick.
Good,👍 bike check Christina, learned a lot from there
The Norco bike 😍🤩
Brandon is the real sigma. He never bothered to be interviewed 😂
Liking the Mini Mullets
yt has the cleanest custom bikes in the universe
GO GODZIEK 🤘🔥🇵🇱
The snake went into the snake hole!!! 🐍 Jordie ❤
that zeb is f'ing massive. 190 travel???
I believe that's what he ran last year anyway, wanted the ability to spin the bars but not lose too much travel over a boxxer
Yeah those have been out for a while
jordie tribute was cool
When will a Glory be in Rampage again? I know it is a downhill bike, but they never rereleased an updated Faith 0. But still would look fun to see a Faith here with modern components.
I want Dylan Stark on this 🤟
yeah... why no YT on this video? booooo
Nice 👍
Sorges Evil is filthy.
didn’t even mention brett reeders single crown commencal clash or carson storch’s custom painted propain rage
Just wait bro lol
commencal FRS not Clash
Dylan Stark's YT is also among the coolest bikes there. Single crown and custom painted.
@@venca6164 nah brett reeder is on a clash, there were a lot of other riders on frs tho
Errant on the seat from the 1st bike translates to they were
Anyone know what 26er rims their running?
I’ve heard Sam Pilgrim is gonna make a secret guest appearance, and he’s going down on a Penny Farthing
I wish Sam was on the presenter side.
@@sm-qw9mj Monster athlete presenting at Red Bull Rampage?
@@dvs620 You surely know what a "wish" means. I just think his personality would suit well and most other riders seem to like him.
@@sm-qw9mj Is Rob Warner doing these?
@@dvs620 Well Cam is a Rockstar athlete right?
Was hoping for Tippie
Brandon bike ♥️♥️dream bike
Was that a nod to Dr Disrespect from Christina @ 5:05
27.5 Y 26 atras , cachate
👌
I'm starting a petition to make it a felony to do a bike check without mentioning rider height and frame size.
why is Semenuk running Exo plus casing ?
DH rear and exo+ front, to be exact
Noticed how they never really talked much about the 27.5/26 Mullets? They cut that part out. Wonder why?
26" in the rear... shhhhhh
🤙🤙🤙🤙
try to catch Brandon Semenuk
Christina out there getting more sand in her diet!
It went together easily in less than an hour. czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
Christina
Semenuk riding an XL frame ? jeez
Rear rotor is 0.2mm (.008") thinner than front rotor for better spin rotation tricks?! I've been doing it wrong this whole time........
😁
#27?
What a bike buff! "How wide are your bars?" Good grief, girl.
Brandon changed the rampage game last year wit the single crown now a lot more ppl are doin it
If only they released an updated totem with beefier crown-steerer assembly, people would keep using them in Rampage.
"Rear rotor is 0.2mm thinner than front rotor for better spin rotation tricks"
Now all those Friday Fail riders finally know why they crash on jumps 😁
CooL❤️Christina👍I measure uP my bike and take mental note of settings that may help in my rides👍🇺🇸
Why do they run their suspension so stiff?
Because of these massive jumps??
So they don't end up with their ankles burried in the dirt
Even tho they still end up smashing chainrings on the ground
@@samuelc8235 many arent running bashguards on their bikes
Been a part of the freeride lifestyle since day one
Man! Rampage is cool and all but Christina... man such a cool gurl !
Interesting to see someone running Marzochi instead of Fox on level like Rampage.
Fox = racing
Marzocchi = Freeride
@@wx2999 Marzochi is equivalent to Performance or even lower on Fox lineup. Same internals as for example the oem Rhythm.
They don't have a choice, they give Fox to racers and Marzocchi to freeriders. That's why Brett Rheeder left. If I remember correctly they wouldn't give him any actual Fox parts and he didn't like Marzocchi.
@@vidieitis yes that’s right
Am I to early?
I DO NOT believe Brandon can tell the difference between the rotors when spinning
same. thats absolute crap, its all in his head
Going from DJ's super chill review to Brandons pretentious settings was quite a juxtaposition haha. Agreed that seems like ultimate BS, but the dude wins!
@@toast9958 You'd be surprised, athletes at that level can notice the smallest things like that, it's what makes them different from the rest. I'm sure there is a little placebo effect to it, but if you see how tuned up the World Cup DH bikes are when they are all wired up in test runs, I'm sure Brandon behind the scenes does similar tests to see what works best and what feels best
@@shdw_co I know but but how do you notice 2mm in rotor width
I mean 0.2mm
Imagin riding SR Suntour xD
Like Riddle in 2021 Rampage, or Storch or Sorge?
Ikr lmao such a cheap brand
@@WilliamCovers and Tom Isted, Jacob Vencl, Tomas Zejda, Sam Reynolds
Imagine slaving to brand status when the guy with the Suntour fork rides better than you ever will.
Tell me you're gullible without telling me you're gullible
Suntour makes high end stuff. They just don't pay every bike channel to advertise
The way they misspronounce commencal and marzocchi....
is this some kind of joke? Where is Szymon Godziek and his Fuzz...
I didnt cover the best looking bike outthere, Simon Godzieks fuzz !
First!!!!
I still can't stand that they're calling it freeride. This has long become nothing but giant slopestyle.
The years where the course was built for them I definitely agree , but I think now that they are literally " free to build and ride anything" it's a bit different
Ok Boomer
@@RichWillBike ...free to build a slopestyle line anywhere they choose? If you look at the origins of "freeride" you'll see it came from skiing, and describes the taking of interpretive lines where there are no trails. Just like the Rampage origins.
Why do bikers sound so bland when talking about their bikes???
You should fire this women
What's the length of the bikes what's the size of the bikes cuz I know those are custom and it's not just a medium or a large right so what is the length of these bikes and all that
