Mein Traum MTB und wie ich diese Farben liebe der Hammer

[clintvanzyl]

Nice bike boet!! I’ve returned my second Trek Remedy 9.8 after ongoing issues with both bikes. Now to find a replacement, this looks SWEET!

[fatboymtb]

I love Scott’s, I started with aspect, the genius will be my next one.

[tiaanebing]

Love it hope you enjoy the review. Can’t wait for the video💪🏻💪🏻🚵🏼‍♂️

[RealMJSr]

I checked out that bike before ultimately saving up for my SB5. It's a nice bike.

[rigardtgriessel]

Nice looking bike, but 2x, cable actuated lockout, and a dropper post with a super long cable - that is one VERY busy looking cockpit!

That being said, the 1x version would be high on my list if I was looking for a new bike.

[sparky]

Wayne. That looks a great bike. One of my brothers is talking about buying this exact one and I can see why.

[AliG-vvrd]

You had me at “hand actuated knob”!!! 😂

[daviddelgadovendrell]

What about those bottom bracket open cables? Could they cause you any issue?

[shaunmccormack]

Wayne Pants, you should start hitting these okes up for trips to their overseas HQ's / factories! Start with Ibis...

[TheCrashingDad]

What is a "front derailleur" ??? 🤔

[monstervlogster]

Wayne, i love that bike...i think its the same model that Scotty Laughland has....thanks dude =)

[BPV]

that's a lotta levers and cables!

[djrouge]

There's a lot going on there man, let's see how it rides :)

[GvnS]

All the other reviews I've watched says how capable a climber it is. Especially in trail mode.

[slugzkea]

press fit BB eh? my 2018 Trance also came with one. Is that the fox transfer dropper leaver that looks like shit, feels like shit and overall is a piece of shit? Because it looks so similar to the giant contact lever which is also a piece of shit! :D

[WattyLegend]

That bike is deceptively capable even with that 34 fork.But how can I take your review serious in that silly round neck shirt? Come on Wayne I expect more from you!!!

[Grandpalovesmetal]

Thats not a 940. I have a 940 and its sram 1x12 my friend and black yellow colors

[mtbboy]

That mudguard is tiny, I rather put on a Mudhugger Fr.
