Do you NEED a DH Bike in the Whistler Bike Park?

Today I’m riding the New 2023 Polygon Collosus N9 in the Whistler Bike Park. Am I under-biked for the Downhill Trails here? I’ll be riding trails like Crank it up, B-Line, Ninja Cougar, Samurai Pizza Cat, Devil’s Club, Longhorn, Heart of Darkness, A-line, Fade to Black, and Dirt Merchant. Let’s see if Polygon’s Enduro Bike can handle the trails in the most famous bike park in the world!

Awesome footage, more than worthy of a sub.

Whistler is definitely more enduro bike friendly vs the Alps/European bike parks as a whole from personal experience. Whistler mountain is less steep and the trails are built and maintained to a higher standard.

Great video dude. I've been riding my 160 enduro at least 4 times a week at Whistler this season and it's really starting to tell that it's not designed for it, I've just upgraded to a full DH rig just to take the load off my bike. I can run basically anything and it handles it just fine, and if you're dropping in for a day or two every month an Enduro is more than okay. But for daily riding the extra robustness of a DH is the main advantage.

been riding whistler bike park for 8 seasons now. Started on a 160mm enduro, so I can say yes, it's totally possible. However, a DH rig will withstand much more abuse and the stiffness of the Dual Crown forks is definitely noticeable.

Anyone else remembers Sam Pilgrim riding A-Line on his Dirtjumper?😂

[John-snhl]

Looks like a blast. Wish i had enough skill for those trails

Thanks for the video, that was so much fun to watch!

[TeamCykelhold]

Some riders can ride almost anything on a rigid bike because they have the skills. It's not about what you can ride and what you can't. It's about how much fun you are having it doing it and how fast you can go without getting out of control. If you have most fun riding double blacks on a DH bike then that's what you need. If you have most fun doing it on a 120mm downcountry bike, then that's what you should do.

Another great video! One day I’ll be able to ride like that. N9 looks 100% capable!

At the beginning of the season trails are super smooth. I ride both Enduro and DH, i had a Norco Sight that i cracked after 3 riding days so yeah you need a DH bike. My Scott Gambler has 300 bikepark days between Whistler and the Alps. A line is so bad at the moment and it is going to get worse with the crankworks.

Every video I watch makes A-line look like a breeze but this footage has it looking SUPER steep! Holy moly

[billblake]

Fantastic video brother. I appreciate your time and efforts and for what it is worth to you, I think that you have a truly awesome bike and one that probably doesn't get enough credit for how truly great that it is.

[ryansteiger]

Nice riding 👍 and thanks for the video

[jayb]

Love the content dude! Liked and subbed!

[GhislainLeduc]

Pretty cool vids! Great job! Just saw you on Youtube for the first time, great rider!

[skunthank]

rode the park on my dh race rig and on my 150mm trail bike throughout last season. Only thing in the park that isn't made for a trail bike at all is the 1199 Racetrack, wich is selfexplaining as it's meant to be ridden on a DH rig. Everything else is great with the trail bike, even Pro lines like Dirt merchant and Dwayne Johnson. Only thing that was a bit much was crabs, would definitely recommend a DH Rig for this. Everything else is even likely to be more fun on a trail bike

[evanprince]

Amazing video, those drops made me so nervous though with people possibly walking under. Feels like there's definitely some tech out there they could put on the routes to flash at people under drops letting them know a bikes coming through.

this is actually sick, good job on the 12ft!

[tasosgeorgiou]

Even with a 150 mm suspension bike you can ride the Wistler one.All is depending on the rider's skills!!!
