Fun fact, the old Colossus n9 with the fs3 linkage only weight 13.8kg. But it was also full carbon and cost 3k more than the current one in my country's currency lol. Or 2.2k USD. I have a Colossus T8, the 140mm trail version. It's about the same weight as the n9 back then. But like it's a Collosus, none of them ever feel near as heavy as they actually are. I also have a 2017 Siskiu d7 that should be slightly lighter but it feels way heavier.

Hey Evan, enduro racer here. IMO the biggest thing you can do to improve your riding if you're serious about training for racing is adding in 2-3 strength sessions per week (if you arent already). Focus on explosive movements and work on building your core. I promise you will feel a difference in your riding in a couple weeks. I would lean more towards the 10 hrs a week side of things - im not sure 15 is necessary unless you're planning on doing XC especially with the family and all that. Obviously stick to mostly z2 but add some more intensity intervals one day as well.

Hey man! Thanks for the tips. I'm sure I'll try Enduro eventually, but those Enduro race speeds can be scary AF. So XC and cyclocross are what I'm eyeing. I have a gym membership so I will add that in. I'm really considering making daily videos of training for a second channel

I am actually planning on doing some stuff to my 2016 Fuel EX8. Its started off as a 120mm front/120mm rear travel bike. I plan to over fork it too 140mm with a fox 34 or 36. May experiment and see if I can do something to get more travel out of the rear as well. Plus a new wheelset and drivetrain and a custom paint job. I can't afford a new bike but this should make it much more capable. You have inspired me to attempt to do more to my bike myself.

@billydeewilliams8909 6 ай бұрын

I love lighter faster tires on my bikes, particularly the rear. Adds a great snappiness. I'm planning to convert my 2023 Norco Optic mid-travel trail bike (with enduro geo) into a downcountry bike with 130 in the front and 120 in the rear, and I'm probably going to try out Vittoria Barzo front/Mezcal rear. It already has a Bontrager XR2 on the rear, which I picked randomly off the shelf at my local Trek when the stock Martello had a sidewall burst. I'm not a fan of Bontrager tires (I had three punctures that required replacement on the Bontrager GR1s for my Trek Checkpoint gravel bike within like three months, and then learned they don't have any anti-puncture tech), but the XR2 is one of my favorite tires. After the fiasco with the GR1s, I went to Vittoria Mezcal 44mm for my gravel bike, and they're easily my favorite tires ever.

Calling this bike "Upduro", Enduro or whatever anyone else care to label it is kind of silly. The most important thing about any bike is that you have FUN riding it. I've grown to love riding so much in the past 3 years that I have only put just over 1000 (1035.8 )miles on my vehicle. I ride nearly everywhere now and I don't like anywhere near a bike friendly town like Bentonville! I have fun on each and every ride.

Hey mate. I know you love the polygon. I have a Vitus sommet 297. It is also pretty cheap starting from 2500 or sth I guess. I got the crs version that retails for 3700 in the moment. I changed the tires to some with less casing and have my bike know at 15,7kg with steardy dt Swiss rims, i9 hubs and the same rockshox stuff that came with your polygon. Considering that my upgrades in terms of weightsaving where the tires and some carbon handlebars I think I made a pretty good deal with my bike. Maybe you should have a look at that bike :) it is one of the cheapest carbon frames out there and is available in mullet or 29“.

I think too many people get hung up on what class a bike fits in and they are way over biked. Hardtails will do 99.99999% of all trails in North America if driven right. Who cares what kind of bike it is as long as it fits and feels good. Ride it! For fitness, put a bunch of weight in a backpack, grab one of your “enduro” bikes, loosen the rebound all the way up and pedal that disaster train up a bunch of hills with long climbs and short descents. Do that 2 days a week and lift 2 days a week. It works.

@BrianKlausen 6 ай бұрын

I've been under-tiring bikes for years. Not as "polarized" as this experiment, but my go-to type of bike for years, has been a short-ish travel trailbike (around 130-140 mm), but in general I've fitted them with XC-tires (though not the absolute lightest kinds) + an insert. We don't have much rock in Denmark where I live, so these super burly chunky tires are not that needed for grip I find. But the travel is good for forgiving mistakes on jumps, line choice and what not, when you learn to rider hard and more aggressive, as the lower weight and rolling resistance will allow you. The travel is what is forgiving particularly for someone on the heavier side. The beefy wheels and tires is what keeps your bike from disintegrating when riding lots of chunk super aggressive. But if the trails are not particularly chunky, you don't really need that level of robustness I find. It's all about supporting your weak sides in relation to the trails you ride, and cutting weight and stability where you have it in excess.

A while ago I got my first enduro upgrading from a trail bike. There were no sick deals here in Spain as I need an XL and people ar shorter. However, I found a really good condition Orbea Rallon, which is just below your weight. However, second hand it cost me 2450, came with the 36 factory, XO1 stuff and a DHX2 coil shock. However, it also got enduro casings and rims. I think if you don't have the parts for cheap, or such a deal on a bike, a second hand high spec can be found if you wait and look a bit. The trails you have are so so smooth I would for sure run lighter tires. Here I even do on rocks sometimes with the trail bike. For the waterdrop, I just got inverse osmosis, and that's another great option!

@@mlee6050 just get some light enduro tires with the light casing if there are not too many rocks, get the middle one if there are (super gravity or DD). Especially the compound matters. In the rear put hard to mid, in the front mid to soft, depending on what you like. Soft soft is costly and slow, it literally slows you down going downhill, but the grip is uncompared and it dampens out the trails a lot.

i love doing stuff like this actually, i put a 2.25 rear Ardent on my norco fluid FS, put a 34 performance cause it's lighter, but I have an assegai 2.50 on the front. what ended up happening is a very light trail bike with a lot of grip on the front, but not as much rolling resistance in the rear so you can kinda drift it easily annd the rear end is kinda twitchy, which I like. the 34 was a big upgrade form the 35 silver it came with. where I dont ever go "light" is brakes, 4 pot deores all round with 203 front and 180 rear. and that's why I have a bigger tire in the front gotta stop fast if you wanna go fast. I believe in my opinion for all round riding 130/120 is the perfect travel, you can do some decent jumps if you land them correctly but you can pedal up quite easily. and for single track it's just ideal. BTW Evan, if you even plan on visitin Latin America I would be happy to show you some incredible trails in Costa Rica! Would make for a ton of fun and some great content.

I know you've ridden both Commencal and Polygon, so you have first-hand experience. I live in Indiana so I don't have many technical trails or jump lines near me. However, my brother lives in Colorado and I plan on traveling more this year to ride more technical trails. I used to ride BMX and want a bike that can handle anything I throw at it around 2k. Please help!

Hey man!! I'm a former bmxer myself so I think the polygon is the better option. It's a bit more agile whereas the Commencal is made for super chunk. I hope you enjoy it!!

@invictarose203 4 ай бұрын

@EvansMTBSaga dude thanks! The commencal is a gorgeous looking bike and I feel like that's what keeps drawing me back to it. But fox suspension on the polygon also stands out. I'll get the siskiu T8

Why would you put at 160 fork with 170 rear?? Wouldn't that goof up the geometry?

@EvansMTBSaga 6 ай бұрын

Mainly cuz I wanted the lighter fork just to test this Upduro project. I can get a new air spring and go 170, but didn't want to pay for one just yet. I ran it through the geo calculator and the HTA went from 63.5 to 64

When this dude says "budget", I always think he's in the low $1200ish range for parts, but nope, lol.

Its the cheapest Enduro bike on the market with great suspension. Budget has a different number figure for everyone

an upduro is a light induro? with xc tires?

Light Enduro, light tires. XC tread optional, yet perfect for my terrain

Not sure if you are aware of this but most serious mountain bikers do not adhere to the category of “boxes” that you described. You may purchase an enduro bike but that does not mean you need to ride “enduro”. Most people buy a bike that suits the trails they mostly ride. Then go a step further to change some components to really suit those specific trails. I watch a lot of your videos and you often get hung up on categories within the broader sport of biking. Didn’t you just say we are all just riding bikes? My $10K bike certainly does not make me better than anyone in the sport. At the same time it does not require me to live up to any standard that other people have decided in their minds based on the price of a bicycle. Build your bike the way you like and ride the trails that make you happy.
