What was the best MTB related purchase you made this year?

[JasonBrozic]

250k items is absolutely no joke

Kudos to your operations people and frontline hourly workers - I’m a warehouse manager for a massive pool supply company in Rochester NY and we ship that out of our 300k sq ft building every year too - all hugely heavy solar covers and pool liners and filters and pool vacuums and pool ladders and steps - all larger heavy items….

It’s quite the operation during the season and I’m sure you guys all prep big time for bike season the way we do for our pool season; it’s an impressive undertaking for sure and no joke when it comes to getting everything g properly shipped on time - not to mention the receiving operations and things that take place in the background to keep inventory from falling apart…

Nice work guys, many of us sweat blood for a living but I for sure love what I do…

Great vid as always - always happy to see you guys posting content like this

My best product of 2023 was going back to X01 mechanical and ditching my loud, floppy, chainslappy, boat anchor GX AXS er, "controller". Best thing I have done in 2 years!

[thStreet]

Love this video every year. Gold mind of MTB knowledge to be used all year while buying anything for my bike.

[jgrawey]

My best purchase of 2023 was upgrading my Rockshox 35 gold RL to a Rockshox Pike Ultimate. I lost almost 1.5 lbs from the front of the bike and completely changed the way my bike handles chunk.

Love the one up Carbon bar. Got one BECAUSE of that video so thanks Jeff.

[jared_erickson]

Best MTB purchase from 2023 for me was my bike!! Forbidden Druid V2 :) After that, probably X0 T-Type and Continental DH casing super soft Kryptotals.

[ZFit]

Absolutely love my TRP Evo 12 shifter and derailleur I bought from you all on December 5th! Zero chainslap, no more dropped chains and compliments my full powered emtb way better than the AXS GX wireless shifting that I replaced it with. 🎉

[TheAngryHusky]

Best product of the year for me was Shimano LinkGlide on my Turbo Levo. After blowing up countless drive trains, including the new “indestructible” SRAM Transmission, I went to Link Glide. Wish I had done it a long time ago. Best EMTB drive train I’ve ran.

I got a good deal on a Dartmoor Primal 29 Hardtail frame! Built myself a solid Trailbike with it from spare parts I had lyiing around. Enjoying the simplity of Hardtail again after mostly riding enduro for years

[roundstar]

Picked up a Cannondale Jekyll, installed carbon bontrager wheels and whiskey bar, Marzocchi 170 coil fork and just ordered an AXS upgrade kit.

I went to hell's gate many years ago, before any mountain biking there !
Traveled with an Aussie girl, got invited to the Massai village over in the corner (near the steam energy plant), long story short, Massai leader there had been to Aus (visiting universities to do talks about Massai tribes, better traveled than us) !
He met up with an Aussie Aboriginal (can you imagine that meeting), the Abo (can I say that ?) gave him a didgeridoo to take back to Kenya.
When we turned up he told us this & brought out the didgeridoo.
Know what .... ?
The Aussie girl I was traveling with could circular breath & played it correctly to the whole village for the first time ever.
Man that opened up the whole place, we were family after that 🙂!

Thanks for sending some money to help with the park, good deed !

[Domabbott]

Holy smokes. When did you guys start making feature-length films? I'm here for it.

[William.N]

Got my Rail29 from you guys. Love it so much!

[liamwoods]

So many good parts this year! I think my personal favorites are SRAM Transmission, Continental DH super soft tires, Wolftooth Resolve Dropper Post (didn't make the list), and of course my beloved Revel Rail 29!

[JohnC]

Two things really made a difference for me this year. I switched all my bikes to the Hellsgate grips after trying them. And, I upgraded the dropper posts on my 2 mountain bikes, so much better than the stock parts.

2023 black friday sale was 🔥. CC Kitsuma w progressive coil and Fox 38 for 40% off, Noble TR37's wheels with DT Swiss 240 EXP 54t ratchet for 30% off. Installed on a SB140 LR, loving it

[drfasthousevonbrainstorm]

My favorite for two of my bikes - the Inn Teck Banger tire insert. I got for the flat prevention on desert rides but was surprised by the ride compliance - no tire bounce on washboard corners or braking... and no flats. The Banger is very different from the crush core or similar designs... it fills the majority of the air space. Very cool. Second is the Fasthouse gloves - the best by a mile. Last but not least - the Fox dropframe Pro helmet is the best helmet on the planet.

[travisferguson]

The best purchase was all my Ketl gear. Rugged enough to ride DH tracks at Rock Creek and also stylish enough to get free beers at the bar.

[stiniusdahl]

I love my E-Thirteen cassette.... been using for 8 years with a Box components derailluer/shifter, Turbine Crank and Connex Chain. No issues for 2500 miles
