I, like many other, was first drawn to hardtail mountain bikes because of their value. But what happens when you fall in love with ride feel of a hardtail, but happen to have wads of cash to throw into a new bike? Thankfully, these five brands have you covered with their ultra exclusive hardtails, topping out at well over $10,000! Which of these bikes would you buy if you had the money?
TIMESTAMPS:

3:23 Chromag Rootdown Ti
5:41 Sage Flow Motion
6:53 Starling Roost
9:05 Mondraker Podium RR SL

I ended up ordering the Mondraker Podium Carbon RR SL based on your video. Just got addicted to the clean lines of the bike. Size M, 19.58 lbs without pedals. Many thanks for the recommendation! It is the stablemate of my 2006 Klein Attitude XX (upgraded to GX AXS, new carbon crank, brakes and wheels).

Love the video, great info with sense of humor. Missed opportunity to completely nailing it though, you used pictures of intraoral mirrors but called them probes!

That’s a fun video. I was looking for the Middlechild ti because I will probably looking at the alloy one just like yours.
@ridingwithjoshandwendy Жыл бұрын
Ya, definitely though about including the Ti Middlechild in there, it's my dream bike for sure! But at less than $5,000 for a complete it didn't quite make the "dentist approved" list. Ironically though, that actually makes a much better option for the rest of us normal people lol

I just ordered my root down ti. I am so excited. Had a Kona Hot when I was a kid with a full XT build. It looked so similar to this and I had more fun on that than any other bike. So excited to not have paint to chip and zero carbon to worry about. I just want to ride and not mass with things. Root down ti was made for just that. Just ride it. Thanks man. Great video and I appreciate the time you put into this

Thank you man, I appreciate it! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Rootdown, as I've always wanted to give one a try!

Love the Rootdown Ti. It’s so fast, climbs crazy and is really easy to throw around. I love the no paint frame. So nice to take care of. I bought my gf a Rootdown steel in red and it’s just as fun. Honestly try one. It’s a rare bike too and either people have zero idea what it is or are all over it. Cheers man. Merry Christmas!!!

9:49 Mondraker are not that uncommon in Norway. seen plenty on the second hand market, especially the enduro and DH bikes. even a few xc bikes. But a silly thing with their full sus bikes is they have a shock going through the seat tube, so limited insertion depth.

Did you ever do anything on the Marino hardtails? They have a Carbala prebuilt frame thats right up your ally
@ridingwithjoshandwendy Жыл бұрын
They're super rad and I'd love to ride one some day! I actually reached out to see if he'd be interested in sending a bike to make some content with but sadly declined.

Carbon wheels have no place on Hardtails, too stiff !
@ridingwithjoshandwendy Жыл бұрын
But you'd never (theoretically) have to worry about truing your wheel again, not to mention the weight savings. Is it worth the trade off?
