I find the LR interesting, it is literally designed for one single trail, Apex in Golden, CO, the home of the Yeti "Lunch Ride" route, but the end result is pretty much the blueprint for aggressive trail bikes given that Apex combines a steep, techy climb with a flowy, rooty upper descent (Enchanted Forest) and a blindingly fast rock garden that still requires enough precision to make quick line changes (Magic Mountain).

Amazing review Jeff, I just wonder how this bike would transform with a coil shock or a X2 (if it doesn’t fail). I agree I find these “mini-enduro” bikes the perfect all rounders. How does it stack against the switchblade?

@hayden401 Жыл бұрын

super interesting, I love my LR 130 and this has just confirmed exactly as I thought it would be, making a LR as a standard numberd bike instead of a "special" only yeti fans knew of that fits into the longer travel trail bike world on paper. I'll be keeping my 130 smiling knowing it is right for my riding and not having to sell and repurchase for the "updated" model. noted I'm on the most populer, Large, so maybe other riders will genuinely get more from the 140 with the size differing changes. Awesome content, as always.

Hey Jeff. Another great video. Love watching you ride. I know you like swapping out components on the demo bikes for items you are more comfortable with but for the average person who is trying to decide if a bike is worth spending our hard earned money on and doesn't have the money to upgrade a new bike would you ever consider riding the bikes first and give a review on how they came out of the box before you swap everything out? I know we should demo a bike first before we purchase one but that isn't always possible. I know I speak for all of your viewers when I say we like and rely heavily on reviews from professional riders like your self before we make a purchase. Thanks for all you do. Looking forward to your next video.

@auricschiller Жыл бұрын

I have a feeling he does the swaps to honor sponsor agreements.

@willbros1499 Жыл бұрын

I 100% agree with this approach...with caveats. I think the issue is, he has sponsors who he has to honor, and in the end, any sort of review of the things he's not used to, will APPEAR to be negative as a result, simply because he's going to swap them out for obvious reasons. On each of the last two bikes (Spire and SB140...minus the wheels on this one), he left at least some of the stock build components on, rather than swapping SRAM out for Shimano right out of the gate. If you notice, he didn't get off into the weeds about AXS on this bike, and he didn't say anything about the brakes. The Spire and the SB140 have SRAM on the build he was sent, and he rode them both with those components initially, unless I missed some initial "swap outs." He did immediately swap the wheels, but I get that...he's really relying on feeling the differences in the bikes, and wheels can make a big difference by comparison. I TOTALLY get what you're saying, but I'm not sure there's a really good solution. I mean the best he can do is ride it, say he was pleased with the components and they did their job, and then say he just prefers what he's used to. That's about all we can get...

Yo! Yeah the Ripmo is more playful and easier to get off the ground. The 140 is better than the old 130 for modern, built trails, but the Ripmo is still a bit more solid. 140 feels a little "quicker" when sprinting, and a little more stuck to the ground on medium speed stuff. I really really liked the 130 for my needs, and the 140 isn't far off that. The Ripmo though, it's my daily go-to at the moment. We actually bought both bikes for my daughter's mother, and she goes between the two bikes all the time.
