Just wanted to compliment you on your delivery. You seem comfortable, natural and less scripted. The result is that the video is watchable and enjoyable. I realize that my opinion is unsolicited (so forgive me for that) but man it stands out among videos with run-on narration that never gives the viewer a chance to process the info. Nice work!

cheap parts vs best value high end parts would be really nice.

Love to see you still championing these polygons and demonstrating how they're astonishing value as upgrade platforms. Swapping to the T-series over the D-series bikes is also probably a better fit for your riding environment and experience now. Hi-Low Season 2 is exactly what everybody wants, no matter what twist you put on it!

For the low bike use non mainstream parts. Aion/Auron/Axon fork, Formula Brakes, Advent X, American Classic tires.

Polygon always comes in clutch. Great vid dude.

[Matenorgan]

Best value vs. high end would be good. I also like the more in depth testing like braking distance, suspension reaction and feel, weight change, bike balance point change etc. Best of three average times, even if shorter runs would be ideal. Do some streams of building the bikes too, that was fun last time

You already know i will love that series!
I think that mid level vs expensive is perfect but the timed laps are better with a little less screen time

Just discovered ur channel cuz I found this bike & wanted to do research. Well, 100% satisfied thanks to u🤘😎 all my questions answered & u even showed this thing is fully sendable!!! Would love a chance to ride with u someday cuz it's a dream to make it to Bentonville!!! Saw ur ride with Seth too, #jealous🤩 Love the Hi-Lo series too. Definitely gained a fan bud✌️😁

I have those same Okaleys with prism trail lenses and let me tell you, they make a massive difference in my ability to read the terrain ahead. It not only allows me to block out some of the brightest light on the sunny days, but in low light they almost seem to highlight or brighten shadow areas. They are super sweet and highly recommend them as well!

Just throwing this out there, microshift advent x groupset offers insane value per dollar. Great performance 11-48t reasonable weight and all for less then a boat anchor weight sram nx group

Hi-Low Season 2 - I liked the first round. The only change I'd make is keep it new parts vs. new parts as much as possible, especially for the Lo side of things. Given the state of the bike industry, and the direction that's likely going in the near future, I think there are enough good deals online without needing to hit the used market. Another idea, given your starting platform, you could have a stock baseline to determine how much difference any of the upgrades made. One other thought is determining the final test before deciding on the upgrades and build up to optimize the bike toward the final test. Since you're starting with an all-around trail bike, maybe pick a 3 different timed tests - something downhill/chunky, something flowy-jumpy, and something maybe closer to an XC loop that rewards more rider input.

Any way you do it, I'm looking forward to it!

Hard to imagine that RL fork soaking big hits up, but the T series frames makes this bike a stellar entry point to get people into the sport. Well done sir!

[Yeetasaurus]

saw you on the trails a few days ago filming this! made my day. sweet bike for the money too

[christianfuller]

Took my new T6 to Deer Valley here in Utah, and it totally shreds!! My first full suspension and I love it!

[Spark_MTB_BMX_Coaching]

Great video and looking forward to another hi low series. Would be cool to see the timing done at a mostly downhill trail. Something that will expose the parts durability and how comfortable you feel riding it on a gnarlier trail. As far as destination… western North Carolina has tons of trails and bike parks. 👊🏼

[michaelridesmtb]

High Low was my favorite thing you've ever done on this channel hands down. I would absolutely love to see another series like that. Definitely bring back Chad. I care about the timed segments. I think that the finale should be at that same park from the Aluminum vs Carbon video...OR...Go back to Sedona??

[philJonsonmcfarlkagnehugorober]

Oh yeah Season 2 would be sick and keep making videos I love to watch them!

[jasonhepton]

Great review Evan I like your candid commentary and POVs with fixed video of the same sections. Awesome🤙🏼

[jeffnapior]

I've owned this bike for over a year. I saw the prices go down after the pandemic surge, and jumped at the chance to own a great bike at a low price. Been riding for 20 years, but it is my first full suspension. It's held up to riding twice a week all year, and still going strong.

Best value MTB right now is the used market. Picked up a 2021 comencal for my buddy with the highest end components you can get for 1500$…. Actually no reason to get brand new unless you can get one on a huge discount.
