On paper, the five bikes we placed in the trail / enduro category seem pretty similar - they all have carbon frames, between 140 - 153mm of rear travel, and head angles between 64.5 - 66 degrees.
It's a different story out in the real world, though, where numbers don't always match up with expectations. Nerd out on geometry charts and dive deep into the kinematics of a bike all you want, but there's no way to really tell how a bike will handle heinous climbs, gnarly descents, and everything in between, until you actually hop on and put tires to dirt.

I think I'm probably getting an SB150 next year, even though I think it looks ugly as hell. Honestly if the Transition Sentinel had 150mm rear instead of 140 I'd be getting that 100% but I already have a "trail" bike and I need something I can lap Creek with every once in a while

He was totally gungho on SJ's up to that trip and the minute we started riding day two, he wouldn't shut up about how much more he loved the Trek. He loved the build, the head angle, the 29in wheels, and the general overall feel. He loved how much further back he felt on the bike. Climbing he loved both because they both came with 10-50 Cassettes if I am not mistaken. I loved this video though. Thank you for the comparison. That Yeti Turq is gorgeous.

@fabian12369139 5 жыл бұрын

@@kinnectedmtb3209 did you figure it out? I have a 2019. Just go lower PSI, my LBS mechanic told me so, that the design will allow you to go lower psi without feeling too planted to the ground, we took out 10 psi from recommended when trail riding, and when doing big jumps or a lot of "park" stuff, went 10 up to avoid a lot of harsh bottom out.

@michiganstate149 4 жыл бұрын

Check the volume reducers you have. If you can't use full travel even with lower PSI you need to reduce the volume. It'll allow you to not ramp up the last part of the travel and run a more normal pressure and sag.

i have been riding a specialized stumpjumper since 2010 and i just days ago bought myself a new one, a remedy. i love the feeling of it and how playful it is. and i also love the styling of it. it looks agressive af by having such girth in the tubing and it fits where i ride like a glove (northern sweden) alot of places where i really want to have that deep travel bike and the stiffness of the frame makes the bike so much more confidence inspiring. and it being good at climbing is a big plus to where i live. i don't have any lifts going up the hills so a bike that is just as competent up hill as going down is what i need. amazing bike and i'm shure i will be riding this one for long to come

I think the sb150 is almost out of place in this list and maybe should have been the the next category up but I understand that you have to draw the line somewhere. Also it's a shame you didn't have the Stumpy Evo for this test, it's much more in line with the bikes you liked than the standard version, which is really a bit disappointing and not much of a step forward over the previous version IMO.

But for this class I would really need to see you test the Orbea Rallon, Evil Offering, and Yeti SB130. All are up to date, and the last seems like it would better a better fit in this review group than the 150. Any chance these will be coming? Hoping Pinkbike can get over its apparent Evil shunning.

@user-180-mand90 5 жыл бұрын

It wasn't even about being 'conservative' for me (as you can shred ANY of these bikes) - the SJ just feels cramped. It felt solid, but like riding on-top and over the front end, whereas the Trek Fuel & Remedy I tested felt way more dialed-in and balanced for the size. I think Trek's new bikes are super underrated, and would win many reviews if they eliminated the KB. The Slash is just an absolute Beast.

in my opinion, the stuntjumper looks the best, the the yeti and remedy are tied and the other two are just meh. i dont like how chunky the other two look. i know im a year late but i wanted my visuals opinion out there.

My favorite MTB for a ride is S-WORKS Stumperjumper and Trek Bronson cuz i'm comfortable when i ride it on.

I think as far as yeti goes, sb140 would have made way more sense for this comparison

Trek all the way

If you're dropping $3k+ on a bike I would skip over trek, specialized AND Santa Cruz for that matter. Yeti, Pivot, and Ibis are all you really need to consider.

As much as I hate Big bike companies, that Trek does something for me.

Willem Moseley I used to think the same thing but I have friends who work at trek retailers and the reality is that they treat employees and local shops really well. I've always been impressed with their engineering and designs also
