Are the shock cable connections at the controller and the fork permanently connected or break-away? With that much open cable slack in the front I could see a branch getting between the bike and the cable and ripping it right off. If that were to happen, then is it RIP for the controller without a shop fix?

Is Not an XC bike,..... It is a Down Country bike!! Not the same.. :(

Rad shooting and riding!

Great trails😮! Nice bike and review😊

@bikers edge ,does all sl occam come with carbon frames?

What suspension settings do you recommend on the Rail 29? Wish Revel offered a set-up guide like other companies

where are you riding?

Job well done with this review! I am considering replacing my rear derailleur (Shimano XT 12sp) on my current ride - 2023 Intense Tracer 279 (Pro build) with current componentry as follows: Cassette: Shimano SLX 12 sp. 10-51t Chain: Shimano SLX 12sp Cranks: e*Thirteen Helix Base 30t 170mm Chainguide: e*Thirteen Vario Guide & Bash Looking for feedback as to whether or not to do the conversion to the GX AXS and ditch the Shimano XT 12sp rear derailleur and shifter. All feedback welcomed!

In Europe there are opinions that in size L and XL frame is very weak and you end up with broken one. Smaller sizes are good.

I think this will be my next bike….if/when I have the space & scratch to add to my quiver. I’m looking for something more apt at park days, but still able to be pedaled for laps without a lift.

I had a 2023 Rocky Mtn Altitude 4.0 . It required a lot more rider energy than a Brose, Bosch or Yamaha to get the most out of it. The biggest drawback was the battery charging system overcharged the battery and the battery exploded and burned everything in my garage to ashes. Rocky Mountain seemed to want to help, but in the end they just wanted to get the burned bike out of my possession and pretend it never happened. They hired a bunch of lawyers to threaten me from telling this true event. I feel a duty to warn potential buyers of the very real danger of keeping a Rocky Mountain bike indoors. The damage to my home and property is over 350k, and I am lucky to be alive. Don't take the risk with a Rocky Mountain E-MTB. It is not worth it.

Wished it came with alloy frame for starting xc racer

Just saw this (3 yrs later) after buying a YT Capra MX 2 days ago and trying it out at Deer Valley today. Coming from a full 29er (who's rear traingle I just shattered), it's a completely different animal. This. Bike. Rips. It's everything you liked 3 years ago in a bike that was co-designed by YT and Ohlins to do exactly what you were hoping manufacturers would. It occurred to me that the more we ride mtb like motocross, the more our bikes resemble lighter-weight versions of them. MX has always been mullet...for the same reasons (descending) that we are now doing mullets in mtb. The more I ride mtb, the more similar it feels to riding MX.

I ride up there and freaking love it! Thanks for your hard work at making and maintaining the trails. I'll make sure to donate

Awesome review mate. Was recommended these by a friend who swears by them, and did a UA-cam search for a review….perfect and really informative. Went for the following: FRONT: Continental Argotal Downhill Soft Compound Foldable 29" MTB Tyre 29 x 2.4" Black/Black REAR: Continental Kryptotal Rear Downhill Soft Compound Foldable 29" MTB Tyre 29 x 2.4" Black/Black All ready and waiting to fit for this years ARD ROCK SPORT ENDURO here in UK 🇬🇧 🤜🏼🤛🏼

But can it be built to be XC race ready? Its geo is closer now to new XC race bikes.

This review is the reason why I bought Heckler and it's amazing.

If these had been a thing when I was younger, I might have seriously considered bicycling to work.

@bikersedge I’m trying to decide between the Spur and a Ripley AF. I live in St. George and ride here 99% of the time. Help me decide

It's not just the sweet spot that's important, it's the seat angle too. As they get steeper, for every 1 degree you lose approximately 1cm of cockpit reach - the roominess between your seat and your handlebars. I'm looking at the new Nicolai Saturn 16 in XL and XXL, compared to my Santa Cruz Megatower in XXL. I'm 6'6' with even leg/torso length and, despite the Saturn in XL being almost identical to the Megatower in XXL, i'm thinking it'll be best to go XXL on the Saturn, as the steeper seat tube angle will push me closer to the bars. I also have an early Trail Pistol that has a steeper SA than the Megatower and I have the seat slammed as far back as it goes, run a 50mm stem and still feel cramped compared to the Megatower.

More where to ride videos please!

Who else love the metric system?

Yes thank god for externally routed brake lines 🙏 Please keep doing this.

That first guy was wearing his sister’s shorts…weird.

Have you looked at bar rise as a factor? It really does depend on the rider I think the key is what each thing does because even if someone is the same size they may want it different. It would be cool if you could rent some kit for the this purpose at a reasonable price. Then determine what sizes would work best for you on given bike. That way you would have a really good idea what to buy to optimize the setup for your wants and needs. There would still be some variables that would effect it such as weight and actual fit on the components you buy in the end but, it maybe close enough to make choice that's best for you.

Keep it up!

Side note. I run Conti TKC 80 tires on my dual sport motorcycle and they are epic on road/off road/highway/deep water/loose rock/granite. Continental knows tires.

Why weren't there any charts? Seriously though, looks like a wonderful place!

Right on guys, keep doing what you’re doing. 👍

Let's hope they stay ebike (class1)friendly and don't turn into summit county for single track use.

So great!!

Love it, thanks for the community support Biker’s Edge!

More trail center reviews please! Throw in a few restaurants and family activities as well to help us plan trips lol.

Eden Valley Trails does amazing work. Thanks BE for all you do to support them!

That’s awesome Connor. Love to see bike shops and local trail associations linking up and helping create that MTB community support system.

Sooooooo. An Orbea commercial with a sprinkling of info about the area. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Great review. Also.. damn it.. I think this is the bike to replace my Process 111.

Wow, that squirrels nest of cables hanging off the handlebars 😳

Literally just bought this bike yesterday for 3999.

Awesome review. So based on that I went and bought the MX version. I’m always into sportier more aggressive dirt bikes and to me it’s all about turning , breaking and acceleration. They are the words I kept hearing for the MX so I bought it ! I absolutely love it ! Thanks guys 👍🏼👍🏼 It’s all about your style and type of tracks. And I prefer tight switchbacks and poppy tracks. Definitely the more technical the better. I’m not into the big jumps.

Has anyone ridden a Spur with the original RS SID shock and compared with the Fox DPS? I have a SID shock and Fox 34 130mm. I don't want to give up any climbing efficiency, but I would take a little improvement in shock absorption. Seems like the SID is easily overwhelmed in bigger terrain.

Great video! Was all this tubeless or with tubes?

What wristband do you use on your Apple Watch? Looked comfy

Outstanding work. I'm going through the same testing. Although I'm on a much longer stem 90mm on my Supercaliber that comes stock with 80mm. This is just an excellent piece. Thank you.

Great video! I think maybe do the same thing, but individually test the effect of the components. Like you said you were thinking that the tires had the greatest effect. It would be great to see what difference it would be to just change the tires vs the suspension etc as well. This way you can also feel exactly the difference of the rear shock!

Now THAT is a gorgeous looking emtb

This vs Bronson?

Interesting test. I have done something similar recently and it appears that it really does not matter what is on the rear of the tire for uphill climbing (enduro or XC). It is only the front tire that affects the time.

I was able to demo one this weekend and I couldn't agree more with what you said. The GRIP is insane. I cleared several tech climbs that I often spin out or get bucked on, but it for sure didn't feel efficient. It wasn't bad, but the grip factor outweighed any issues with it not feeling quick on the climbs. It was also one of the quietest bikes I've ridden. I really loved it. If I was going to the bike park more than 3 times a year I would buy one. It did feel "fun" still but a little heavier than I would like. Unfortunately, I pedal too much for this version to make sense.

I had the Spur and wanted something more trail and plush for my rides on medium chunky trails by my house, so I got this bike because bigger fork and slacker head tube. It came with the Fox Live Valve and had a rough time on it. Now I got rid of Live Valve and put Fox Factory new grip X and float on it and the front end still feels harsh (a little better) but Im still frustrated I just want a comfortable plush bike. Should I get a Ripmo or something? What bikes feel plush and damp?
