Nice try bot, nice try

Try Road bike, like Tour de France 🇫🇷 bikes 😂

@@mathieulabrie6185 Look for „Road bike party “, Sam and Martyn Ashton did some wild clips years ago 🤟

canyon watching this while crying at what he's doing to the bike

But where's my prize ?

"People always say their bike sounds like a shopping cart. Guess what, mine is a shopping cart!"

@sampilgrim Shopping cart challenge!! 😂

Halo Whels can survive anything too

That video he did cutting the spokes on a halo wheel was crazy how strong they are.

fuuuk thats for sure!! was thinking the same!!!@@ByronAllis

@@ioanbola blatantly needed the halo wheels for this vid

Pretty sure it is, not the first MTB pro doing this on canyon bikes in recent time. Seen other videos like this as well.

Cheers dude!!

Wait wut? 2 of my favourite youtubers in one comment section? From two opposite ends of hobby spectrums. My head has just blown apart 🤣

​​@@seansamurai1981was just thinking the same. no1 biker ,no1 rc top bloke's

No way do you ride kev

Colabbbbbbb 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

And in my humble opinion that makes him one of the best (mountain)bike riders of all time

No doubt he's a HUGE legend, he's the tony hawk of mountain biking imo

Ye now he needs to goto tour de france to claim this

Uhm... this is exactly what happened here. If they´d advertise this directly as canyon branded, it might bring a bunch of lawsuits to their mailbox. It remains a fact that this bike is in no way designed to withstand the forces presented here on a regular basis. Who knows, maybe there were even a bunch of snapped frames/forks/wheels during filming ? I sincerely hope nobody will try to mimic this. Sams skills are mad, ordinary people would probably just die from some of his stunts :)

​@@Shub-23 LOL! No it's not, unless I missed the group road and gravel ride and the "shortcut" edit to meet back up with the group at a coffee stop, LOL; read before you write; this is a typical good video for this KZfaq channel, not produced as commercial advertisement. You also seem to be confused and contradict yourself saying this is a commercial but not really and somehow immune from repercussions made by the same company that would be sponsoring this if it was an advertisement; plus who said anything about random people mimicking these stunts? Do you really think Sam broke a bunch of frames and wheels, really? You obviously know nothing about how strong and capable this level of bikes are, ever heard of "Road Bike Party" or seen the number of videos attempting to destroy this level of components without success, until cutting spokes, etc. Are you an engineer at Canyon, doubt it, but you somehow know for a "fact" that this bike isn't designed to take these forces huh, doubtful your an engineer, have ever designed or made anything yourself, there is more to it than simply designing something to be as weak as possible for said use, it could very well be designed to take these forces without ever being intended to do these stunts for all you know. No it would not bring "a bunch" of lawsuits, if you can't do these stunts on any bike no court is going to rule a pay out because you got hurt trying it on this bike; if you can do these stunts on another bike, Sam just showed it can be done on this bike(very highly doubt Sam's replacing his bike or parts at all in this video), just because a rider isn't Sam doesn't mean the frame is suddenly going to snap doing the same moves, and in any case this is known as an inherently dangerous sport and why you don't hear of people winning lawsuits all the time, if your logic had any basis the car manufactures would be out of business for paying out lawsuits on broken trucks and car wrecks doing what is done in advertisements, and why there is fine print at the bottom of such ads to protect against the morons who try to sue for being morons or participating in inherently dangerous actions where part of the known outcome is breaking things and getting hurt sometimes. Go waste your time and money trying to sue a company for such nonsense if you believe you're right.

​@@willjones7132[insert "daddy chill" meme here] Jesus dude take a sedative or something 🤣

not everybody knows how sponsorship deals work, seems like this guy thinks it's the same as a commercial. it's not. he did not say outright at the start that "THIS VIDEO is sponsored by Canyon" and there was no "advertisement" label which is required by UK law, which you can see on any GCN video that is sponsored by only one brand. plus, it included mentions of GoPro and Halo Wheels, which a directly sponsored video would NOT include. so this falls under his standard sponsorship the general details of which Sam has dicussed before, where he gets paid by mentions of the sponsor, in this case being GoPro, halo, and of course Canyon. I didn't notice if he was wearing a Swatch, but if that was there then it includes them as well. if he does anything inappropriate with those products then he could lose their sponsorship, but I don't think he has to clear the standard videos through them before posting. Directly sponsored videos however usually WOULD have to be cleared by the brand before he was allowed to post it, but that might vary depending on his contract. Regarding the dangers to viewers who actually try the stunts, EVERY one of his videos is like this, and I would think if there was any danger of that, he straight up wouldn't have ANY sponsors by this point. to address the other issue if he ever snaps a frame, or bends a wheel, that shit is KZfaq gold, and there is no way he would ever leave that out of the video.

I think Sam just voided the warranty :P not that he gives a flying

Thanks dude!

you need money to not get catastrophic failures that will result in loosing your teeth though 😁

you seen what the grizl cost these days lol

For anyone wanting to get a serious MTB, you don't need the latest and greatest and maintenance will always be expensive, find a platform you love and ride it till it can't (within reason).

So true! I mnt biked the most from 92 to 2004 and the progress made during that period was mind blowing. Going from no sus to full, cantilever breaks to hydro disk, just insane how much the bikes changes during that time. I haven't really mnt biked since, dirt bikes and dual sports fill the itch, but I do miss it.

@@squidsleap Then I gotta say that the progress in wheels from 1987-1992 was also HUGE. And the leap from then to today is just another level altogether... But before 1990, MTB wheels were like whet noodles, just amazingly weak... 😆

@Farmfield I remember my friend doing a wheel through the quad when we were freshman (so must have been 92) and his back wheel taco'd

@@squidsleap Land anything but straight and they just folded, like it was nothing. 😆 Those were still the days, though - crap brakes, no suspension, and so much fun.

And doing backflips in cloud bowls

I'd say even better. We used to bend forks every couple of months back then

@@stirfrybry1 What? Why? How?

@@hydorah Jumping big. used to bend forks a bunch until I got switch blades. LOL then got a suspension bike and it was ON!

It was an excellent transition, quite smooth.

And that's why i know i suck :D

More leverage on the brake levers, and slightly wider since the drops are flaired

Thinking anything else would just be wrong, thoose gravel bike tyres seem like a joke to me

And a price raise from 800€ to 1800€

I once sledged down castle hill and left my phone in my back pocket and bananad it 😂

All thetford crew in here lol! Castle park aint the same u can't rag a crosser onit anymore

I have one also guess no worries on durability. ha

tbf they are a $600+ wheelset they should handle it just fine

Glad ya liked it!!
