I run the Scorpion S 29x2.6 on my Trek Rail 9.9, and I have to say, they’re Absolutely Awesome! Pirelli have done a great job…

i have Hayes Stroker Ryde, now obsolete... impossible to get parts and very expensive if you find them... Im in UK and havent been able to get the pistons rebuild kit.. so i agree with you... i have that same bolt spare if you are still looking for it... or have you like me just Binned the brakes... ???

I had many of these problems over the years. It is disgusting how some manufacturers refuse to provide spare parts for their products. Luckily I discovered that many gun shops where they service old stuff have the capability of makeing almost any kind of weird and unusually dimensioned small screw themselves. I once couldnt find a screw for a derailleur and my local gunsmith just had an identical one in a parts bin.

Interesting opinion. I found this fork (I have the exact same one) really bad in comparison to the previous years. For me it is NOT plush at all, but rather harsh. It is a pogo-stick for jumping and I cant bottom out regardless the drop or the jump with the suggested pressure. I cant use all the travel even with 10 PSI under the recommendation. Going lower in pressure it gets too soft in the mid-stroke. I wonder whether you are using all of the travel. I end up with all compression at full minus and running somewhere 5-10 PSI under recommended pressure. Very unhappy with this fork actually and will have to upgrade to the new 3.1 damper as soon, as it is available here in Italy. I found the old 2.1 ultimate versions of RS way better for everyday trail and enduro riding. For bike park it is a funny fork, but then I would probably rather look into a ZEB...

That's why i love Hope Brakes...

Looks like an opportunity for some individual or company. 😉💪

Se puede poner en la horquilla delantera ????

That's why you buy Hope.

Good review and info, great looking bike! Thank you for mentioning the bike size being XL, if don't mind my asking how tall are you? Trying to determine if I should order the L or XL. Thank you !

That’s why Hope brakes exist on the market. You can buy any small little piece for it.

looks like the replacement lever would have come with that bolt. I love my Dominions

I was thinking to buy the dominion but After this Video i definetly wont!

What frame size you have and What is your high

Nice honest review ! Thanks, but it made me doubt what my next bike will be. I am currently riding an Focus Jam2 6.9 from 2022. My rear shock almost bottoms out with small table top jumps and low drops. I was looking for an emtb with more travel on the rear and front and more range and the engine front Bosch. Since you can't recommend this bike, do you have an other suggestions ? I love trail, enduro and I an bit heavy rider 91 kg with gear.

Nice vid. I have that year model too.

That is a very common bolt, use McMaster carr or whatever engineering hardware supply is available at your company. What a waste of my time watching this video

I also mullet my canyon stoic 2 . Not bad . I run bontrager xr4 tires 2.4 front and rear. Thinking of putting hans dampf front and a 27.5 x2.6 vittoria mezcal at the back .

It's 2024; did they integrate Pinion Smart.Shift with this bike? How does it compare to other similar bikes like Priority Gemini?

I get diet cokes at McDonalds. Well Coke Zero, but I don't really go anymore since they got rid of the salads.

I also had the opposite experience. I've been able to order everything I've needed from their website for the A4s over the past couple years. Also, I think they're the best and most durable brakes I've ever used.. So not sure why you've had such a bad experience.

How much are those bikes currently selling for in Europe? I saw that they are a lot cheaper over there

Hayes, looks at Apple "Fuck you", un-phones your phone, "buy new one". Hayes "Hmmm". Hayes to customer " Fuck you", un-levers your lever" buy a new one".

you should work at your weight

6:59 there are three output options; high, low & flashing. Just click to cycle through them. Great little light 😊

Hey, did you added 1 rockshox token in the fork because it was diving too much? Or…?

Hi, how did you change the stem and the spacer where the cables pass through?

Throw away that Gates belt and get a chain. You will be much faster (about 2 km/h) and cycle further. That's 20 km difference per day on a longer trip. Ant that shifter is a monstrosity.

Hi, do you still have the P-Train? Any thoughts after owning for a while?

Awesome review!! Wanna ride together ? I live also in Belgium and ride enduro too😊

A mullet hardtail. I didn’t see that coming!😮

Being 6ft does it feel on the smaller side and do you wish you went for the XL

thx ey

How does this one compare to the Roscoe 6?

I don't care about the advantages, they can be found in advertising brochures. However, in review you mentioned all the major design flaws that I also notice as a user. Yes, plastic headset are a complete failure, squeak from the first meters. Well done.

WOW! I wonder if they sell that bolt separately now, after all the negative press.

They are beyond bad, I’ve had three sets over the past 8yrs and they all failed within a year, mostly water ingress but lots and lots of soft wear issues too.

What size is the garden hose container do you use????

Love the honesty instead of all the bullshit and how fantastic these bikes are! Well done.

I lost mine too. I replaced it with a different bolt

how about sks for carbon frames ?

No way you're spending money on a spring? Lol...

Well, crap. Was thinking of buying these. Maybe go with my tried and true Zee brakes instead.

so you can't use a normal thru axle say if you got a set of 148 dt swiss?

Is it good for jumping?

I don't remember the last time I watched such a great review. Succint and up to the point, covered everything we need to know about the bike. The video editing is also great. Keep it up!

New dream bike. Acto5 P-train with Intend suspension and brakes 😮

The bolts are probably the same as rsc codes

Just got a SAM 6.9 with the upgraded battery lid/flap and hit the bash guard 3 times during a 30km ride riding over slow drops. My sag was 30% on the shock so maybe a little low?? but getting a new spring to drop sag and maybe this will help. I think they put the battery to low on this bike.

Yoo i was the kid on the pump track i was there with my dad and his friends hahaha i was laughing when i saw myslef😂

Hello and thank you for an amazing reviews on some pinion bikes. I understand how much resources & effort it takes, but it would be definitely very much helpful if you would review a new option with smart shift on dropbars. We would appreciate that very much. Thanks again, have a great day:)
