Those protos look better than some finished frames. I love all the spare bolt holes and external routing that clearly makes them better for fettling. We need more of that in sale models.

[RC-fptl]

The Specialized prototype seat stay is from an Enduro. Thats why it’s 148 boost

[coreycanuck]

Great job reviewing these bikes! Really enjoyed this video. Jealous of the hair!

[bradtyson]

1:55 that orbea looks suprisingly like a 2016/2017 vitus sommet crx 😂

[jakwadd]

Still finding it hard to see the forks as Rockshox with white lowers and gold stanchions after like 20 years of that being fox colours.

[adamf.]

The new YT-Tues is insanely Beautifully designed. Also those new Golden Fox forks are RAD!

[robbchastain]

We'd know more about that Orbea if Owen had responded to one of ads in comic books for X-ray glasses. 😀

[baykkarl]

Omg that specialized is on the different level.

[madddawgkeef]

7:40 Floating brake arm? Uh, clearly the brake caliper is attached to the rear triangle. Where is the floating brake?

[HannyDart]

6:35 regarding the seatstays: I'm 99% sure these are just the seatstays from the Enduro

[jamiebarkingspider]

The V10 by far, just gets better every year

[NeilDethml]

The Specialized prototype reminds me of the Atherton build.

[eldenthing]

Do a bikecheck on the We are one Owen, you know it needs to be done!

[Shawn-in-da-Canyon]

Please do a video on the steering damper.

[edarnold]

How long is the stroke on Greg’s Norco?

[bermroller]

Everyone officially stopped saying "650b" 10 years ago. It's just as silly as saying 700c when talking about 29" wheels.

[vlbz]

I hope the new Demo won't be carbon, although seems like it will be. I got the current one over the Sender, bc it was AL.

[porroco]

Why they dont use push elevensix coil shock

[skippylegrandgourou]

The Norco gonna crack like after 3 bike park days or 3 races like the tradition.

[martylondon]

Would love to see Blenki's Zerode G3.
