THE $150 CHEAP BIKE CHALLENGE - WILL IT LAST?
Рет қаралды 3,608,917
4 жыл бұрынThe $150 cheap bike challenge is back but will it last? We push these cheap mountain bikes to the limits down stairs over jumps, gaps and off drops until one of us is the winner! Let's SEND IT!
After buying a bike each, Marc Diekmann, Lukas Knopf and myself headed out around Los Angeles to find some fun spots to hit with our new bikes. We decided to start at a famous stair set called Baxter stairways and this was a heavy test straight out the gate. From here we found some trial lines that ended with some bicycle destruction and laughs. Moving on again we found ourselves at a skatepark with loads of different features to get creative on from drop off's to rail grinds, it was a blast! After all the action we still didn't have a winner so we decided to end with a ghosty distance contest to find a champion! I love these challenges because it really shows that even if you don't have much money you can still get out there and send it! Shot on GoPro HERO 8 Black!
I hope you enjoy the video!

I'd be interested to see a really old bike tested like this to see how they compare to the new cheapo Chinese made budget bikes. I'm guessing the old US/UK/EU made steel framed bikes would hold up pretty well, but with no suspension you'd probably die testing them. Also that was awesome of you to give the bike away at the end instead of trying to get a refund like most do. Nice one!

I got a vintage Giant AXT970 that I bought used for 150 bucks for some old school fun, and it's miles better than any of the super cheap chinese junk they put out these days.
