I've been wanting to get back into mountain biking but to get a good setup it's so expensive and I've seen so many reviews on the t7 and super impressed can't wait to get some money saved up and get one looks amazing

Good stuff, easily the best review on youtube of these bikes. You actually ride them instead of just standing around and talking about components, and your review has just the right amount of detail in a clear format. I'm researching for a decent upgrade from my Marin 5 that won't break the bank and the Siskiu lineup seems perfect for that 👍. If you were to do another one of these comparison vids I'd love if you did one on the Trek Top Fuel vs Fuel EX 😁 Thanks from NZ

Nice work Phil and team! Having a blast riding and reviewing the T-Series on my channel! Both great bikes and great value!🤘🏻

I own the T7 and I setup and test rode the D7. Your assessment is spot on and it was well said and shown. Great and useful review.

Last year I upgraded from a box store Schwinn 21spd I'd had for like 10 years to the T7 myself, and WHOO BOY did I fall in love with biking all over again! So much so I bought the special edition D7 with the Suntour boost fork this year, so I literally have both of these bikes and I love em! Yeah, the D7 definitely is a little lighter and nimbler on technical stuff and more efficient in the flow trails, but that T7 just eats up rock gardens almost as much as those rock gardens eat your tires! Glad it came with those dual wall, reinforced 2.6" Schwalbes! Both of these bikes are just amazing!

i watched your other video of the 3 bikes in the d series and reviewing the d7 you said it had 29mm internal width rims suitable for up to 2.5 wide tyres, so you had answered my question, so i bought a d7, thank you for the informative videos, Phil

[jamesworth]

I'm glad I went with the T7. I never have to ask myself whether or not my bike can handle a descent / technical section.

[JoeIsCrazyWillman]

Another nice thing about these bikes is that they don't cost an arm and a leg the way comparable Trek, Specialized, etc do! It really helps people who don't have that kind of money to be able to still get a really nice capable bike with name brand quality components and geometries

I just order my T7 a few days and I can’t wait till it arrives . Been out of the mountain bike game for years but still riding bmx . So to start hitting the trails and downhill is going to so much fun again

[Froff]

Great video and those trails look awesome. I would love to try out the Siskiu t7

[Satorikn]

The Siskiu D7 is capable of much more than what the chart at the end projects. I understand they want to sell the slightly more expensive bike that it's still a budget bike, but i even think the dude had a hard time depicting them as so much different even while it was his task, but to be clear THERE NO QUESTION that the T7 is a step-up and the better trail bike, but this is way more diminishing returns than what the chart projects, they are close, somebody skilled enough would be comfortable doing black diamond trails on it, but yeah the 5-10% extra comfort/performance will be on the T7, but the D7 will be super capable on everything but big drops.

Excellent analysis, thanks! 👌 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I found these words 😅. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷‍♀️

[notchipotle]

I bought a siskiu D frame without rear suspension for $350 and put all my favorite parts, really love the build, affordable but fits me well

[superyamagucci]

If there's one thing I love more than the serenity, it's the sound of a 2-stroke going flat out across the lake.
The faster you go, the more of it you can take in.

I bought a D6 at $1200 USD its a FANTASTIC entry level bike.

[stephenpelly]

Awesome video, thank you. If cross country is my main aim (and not super crazy rocky ascents and descents), would I go wrong by buying something like the T7 (actually I'm planning on buying the T8)? Is the D7 actually better at XC than the T7, or is it simply a case of that the T7 can do XC just as well as the D7, but well, it's simply not necessary for only XC?

[Oneaddiction]

I’d love to see a review on the san Quentin 3 vs maybe the team Marin 2 ? I know they are quite different, but still love to see it

[jasoncarli]

Hey Phill awesome video... But how do they compare to your upgrade D6

[IsraelMagalit]

Great comparison. I'm hoping to get the DSE next year.

Do you guys know when the Siskiu T7 29” medium in black and white comes back in stock? I can’t wait to buy one
