Fezzari Delano Peak MTB Review

Is this the ultimate trail bike? The Mountain Biker's mountain bike?

The Fezzari Delano Peak is an all-new model, splitting the difference between their 120mm Signal Peak and enduro-ready La Sal Peak bikes. With a 150mm fork and 135mm rear travel, this trail bike can handle the rough stuff while still pedaling nimbly through XC trails.

We took it to the groomed rock gardens at Mt. Nebo's Monument Trails in Arkansas, the rough singletrack in Pisgah, NC, and on our cross country home trails of Greensboro, NC, to test it out.

Great review. I just ordered my Delano. Same built kit as in this review. But mine will be blue. Can’t wait.

My Delano should arrive in about 5 weeks. Can't wait.

As I'm watching I kept thinking these trails look just like Greensboro's Wild Turkey. And then you drop GSO, then Pisgah! Small world. I'm looking at this bike for just these trails. Thanks for the review. Looks like the perfect bike for me. See ya out on the trail, brother.

I have the same bike. I love it. I can’t add much to a great review.

Mount Nebo is awesome! We just got a new monument trail in Little Rock at Pinnacle! I’m going to get a Delano Peak in the spring just for the Monument trails I ride everyday.

I'm very interested in that bike, and I'm hoping they spice up the color choices for next year. It's so hard to evaluate the color nuance you got there, from pictures and videos so I'd just skip that completely. The dull blue option is a bit of hit 'n miss as well for me, so I just hope the color choices will be changed for next year. Personally I really love the Burnt Orange they offer for the La Sal Peak, but that bike is just too much downhill for my need, sadly.

i hate that its clearly not red, but is yet somehow red

The trails you rode this on especially the last two look identical to where I’m gonna be riding. If you had to flip a coin and choose the Delano peak or the Ripmo a F U Rd. Which would you choose there about the same dollar

Color looks kind of orange.... I think that is the coral though. Such a sick color.

You said X-fusion dropper but that looks like the PNW one. Bike looks sweet though!

Can you tell me how much this build weighs? I’m thinking about picking one of these up next.

[journeyman]

what setting did you have the rear shock on ? I have mine fully open and I can feel some pedal bob on my race build which has the fox factory suspension. I have to switch to trail or climb for the really steep stuff. other that that this bike is awesome. I also have a 27.5 plus wheelset that I swap in and out to change riding dynamics.

So, your 510 shoes scraped right through the paint?

[lossantoscity]

This bike is big and chunky it seems like it can absorb all the heavy impacts. My advice with that shoe rub is helicopter tape so you wont damage that nice paint.
