Pretty hard to justify a dh bike these days… always good riding with you Nic!

One of the things I started to realize once I began racing DH is that DH Bikes are meant for DH Racing, they love steep fast tech. Enduro Bikes love Bike Parks. Obviously Freeride DH Bikes are built specific for that but not all of us are hitting rampage sized stuff.

let's just take a moment to recognise the quality of this man's tabletops

The whole look of these evil bikes make me want one more and more. Plus hearing they are quiet and jumpy bikes are a major bonus!

DH bikes are always gonna be faster on the gnarlier shit, but since I personally don't ride the gnarlier shit every day, and I still want a bike that I can actually ride somewhere other than down a hill, my 160mm enduro ride is enough for me. Also, I think regular whips and opposite whips is a person to person thing, as in, your dominant direction is regular. That's the way it is in skateboarding at least.

This has to be one of my favorite videos you've done. Amazing riding! Cool to get a different view of BCpov too. Great cornering!

I like how you casually speak while doing crazy riding... XD

Nick is the most wholesome dude

I’ve been loving my wreckoning at the park this year! So much fun!

I find myself wanting a dh bike just to keep my enduro nicer. Park days absolutely thrash everything

So fast in the techy stuff. 👏👏👏

Damn you’re fast in those gnarly sections!!#goals

Another Lunch Break video :o First 50toVegan now you. Thanks for making it more enjoyable :)

i just love the feel of DH bikes. my favorite is the the yt tues just like every yt bike

Fresh morning VanCan. 😍

Can’t wait to watch this

Just bought mine yesterday, I'm in love with a bike🤣🤣🤣

Regular whip is swinging your back end to the same side as your front foot

DH bike all the way for me in the park except for creekside trails, feels safer and in more control doesn't get defected.

I just visited my first Bike Park last week. Sun Peaks! My bike of choice: my Norco Fluid trail bike. 😜 I need to change the rear tire to a proper chunky tire and not an easy rolling tire. It slid out a couple times on angled jumps which was really sketchy. I will for sure want better brakes before going on the steeps if I want my fat ass stopped by something other than trees. Braking bumps were a little painful too near the bottom.

Great video 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Awesome video 🤩👌

first time ever at whistler I rode my mates dh bike, the next week I bought a 2nd hand Devinci Spartan I rode it all over whistler and didn't find out till later that it had blown Pike forks. Enduro bikes are so capable now its not even necessary to have fun at a bike park, although on the dh I felt super stable and faster

A playful bike with DH tires is the perfect park bike IMO. Of course, I generally stick to flow trails and ride slow. I’m sure that a DH bike would be awesome for tech & going fast.

Ride my Giant Reign, even used my XC Giant Anthem Pro at DH park.

YT Industies for life

Awesome video. Whistler blue trails are like the UKs red trails 😂. Nic, do you no longer have your specialized enduro?

You really push the wrecker on the bike park! Great to see that. How do you feel about the larger wheel on the rear? I know the YT is not super boost, but it would be fun for you to run 27.5 in the rear and compare it to the 29er rear. In the bike park the low bottom bracket shouldn't be as much of an issue.

I love the whistler videos! How long are you staying for??

It probably rolls a lot faster because it’s 29 vs 27.5?

Wrecker eats it aaaaaalll

My S5 stumpjumper is just as long as a modern DH bike, but it has trail suspension, so I'm curious to see how it performs in the park

Sick riding on that wreckoning :) How tall are you? torn between the new insurgent with 27.5s and a wreckoning....I'm 6'1''

Nice..I am thinking about the new Insurgent as my new "downhill bike"..comparison to the Wreckoning would be nice :-)

Super interesting video, does this mean you’re gonna sell the dh now?

Love it Can!!

Wondering how it compares to a Transition Spire bike

8 minutes in to the video it just it Me… that is one quiet bike!

Guys are sending it

you need your DH rig for Cypress shuttle laps

sick

Did you get to use the enduro at wbp? Curious if you have any thoughts on comparison

Something I feel is often overlooked in the DH versus Enduro bike is longevity and abuse. Enduro bikes can absolutely handle any bike park these days, but I have found that 1x12 drivetrains really suffer when used on a regular basis at a bike park. With such long derailleur cages they are extremely susceptible to poor shifting performance when the hanger gets slightly bent. For that reason alone I still have a DH bike for bike park duties. Sure a slightly bent hanger can be straightened but if you don't have any other bike to ride you are SOL while your ride is in the shop.

hey, are you ever planning on going back to a capra as your main bike?

what did you think about the Norco, was better than the evil. I'm having a hard time deciding between the Norco and the wreckoning what do you think I should get.

time for an xc bike next :D

I’m gonna be at Whistler on July 2! Are you still gonna be there?

I’m not much of a park rider but great watch…

Was the Enduro better at the park?

Can you ride a dirt jumper at whistler bike park?

Do u need as full face helmet to ride at whistler bike park?

Great video, Schleyer is one trail that ticks the DH bike box?

Red Tues in Pinkbike buy & sell section soon? 😂

Downhill bikes are awesome but only really useable where you have reliable uplift / chairlifts. Can't really pedal up the hills with em. For that reason, I could never own a DH (as I can only really afford a single bike) so enduro has to be the choice 👌🏻

I did Whistler in 2017 on a 2014 Trance. Even did a run of Top of the World! 10 days later my hands and body were wrecked, but boy did we have some fun!

Whistler looks so fun I think I might go next year for the first time in the summer season. Would you say the cases on A-Line are pretty forgiving or harsh.

Legit video! I’m now pretty confident my Yeti SB165 can handle the park. Thanks mate!

was the wreckoning stable?

Yummmmmmmyyyyyy

how are the TRP brakes mate !? thinking of changing out my hopes for a pair?

POV you ride an enduro bike and are faster then everyone at the bike park on a dh bike

Whissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssslerrrr !!!!!

I just want to ride at Whistler some day, I don't care if it's on a city e-bike!

which flip chip setting do you prefer on your bike?

Next decade: every 1 using trail bikes now 2 decades later: xc

Last year me and my friend brought The da Vinci Wilson and a giant glory things to boost master and Wesley showing us 26 in Isn't dead both have dj bikes as well nothing like riding a downhill bike it's like a monster truck places me and my friend ride a dh bike is necessary if anyone knows Cannock chase in the UK then there is some gnarly shit in that place if you know where to look I understand why people are switching to Endura bikes DH is sometimes overkill unless you are doing rampage or hardline or doing 10m stair Gaps on the street or just chilling in Utah then dh bike is necessary

You should check your light parameters, as the bright spots and dark shadows are a bit extreme, also consider higher framerates, but that's probably just personal taste

Sick video 😍 I love a video 🤘🏼💨 Ps- sorry I’m French gays, ( désolé de l’écrire)

Hey VanCan, what is the trail at 3:50 which leads into Fade to Black?

Whistler is TOP

now you know what it is like to be bcpov

Regular and irregular depends on what foot you have forward! Not everyone has the right foot forward. So basically the judges at competitions will look at your foot Position

What GoPro are you using?

How long would it realistically take to ride these trails like you? If you’re basically a beginner. But willing to practice 2-3 times a week

how does a DH casing roll faster... ill give you the 29s roll faster.

reg and oppo for whips is whatever is more and less comfortable for the rider

Can you please do a cable tidy on your bars my ocd is going crazy seeing those long cables haha

my buddy rode a gt hardtail at a bike park

i rode a 80 mm department store bike at boyne highlands bike park

Just saying you definitely done need a down hill bike I had fun on my 120 trail bike sooooo I'm just saying have fun on what you got. I did you get a new YT Capra and its a lot of fun but still.

you can ride whistler on a hardtail, just depends how fast you want to go.

And Norco just dropped the new Range. Yeah you can ride park. My custom 2020 Reign Carbon 180-160mm does everything at the park. Second season 1-2 park days a week, zero issues.

Why do you feel the need to whip the bike every single time u leave the ground?

The exposure in this video is a little different compared to your other videos! It’s a little difficult to watch when it gets bright out. But good runs!

Camera setting seem a bit over exposed on this one, but great video non-the less

Sell the DH bike and get a hardtail for your second bike

i personally feel that dh bikes arent fully necesarry at most bikes park. At my bike park you need a dh bikes since its only chunk and no jumps but at Whistler you don't have to have one.

Sell the tues

Yeah you can easily ride an enduro in Whistler because the trails are manicured and it is not steep. Do the same thing in the alps, you will not gonna survive there for a week. Also i easily cracked my Norco Sight in Whistler while my Gambler has 200 bikepark days in Chatel, Les Gets, Verbier and Whistler.

Title - "Can You Ride An Enduro Bike at Whistler Bike Park? " Meanwhile here I am wanting to go there with my Hard tail or a good trail bike

Why not just write "my enduro bike in this video has 170mm of front travel" in the description ? I clicked your "evil wreckoning V3 link and had to advance to 5:37 into that video just to find out what the front travel is on your enduro bike which is the main content of this video. Without googling further, I still do not know how much travel your rear shock shown in this video has. Next time, I will not click on your additional video link and simply google the "Evil Wreckoning V3" to find the information that is of upmost relevance to this video. The content is great and keep up the good work. See you at the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.

Why would u wanna get rid of a dh bike over some enduro bike. They are still no where close to replacing DH bike in literally everyone else’s book.

In these days doesn’t really matter I would say

Sell that DH bike!!

stumpy EVO?

U seem like u would need a 29 er dh buke

Man, make that tire eat dirt until you have to do the same!

Ride what you brought. I hate bike snobs.
