Once you learn how to jump properly, the size of the bike doesn't matter as proper technique will get you over most jumps that are built properly and are not too long or have too steep of a ramp (some jumps need more speed than others). If you are twisting your bars, you are pulling unevenly...
Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will enjoy your new bike as just getting out and riding will make you a happier person. Hold off on upgrades until you see what your new bike can do as it is all too easy to get carried away with all the "better" things you can buy often with neglegible...
Welcome. Enjoy to content of the forums but have fun with the bike how it is for awhile before making any expensive changes (tubless = good idea!). Out of curiosity, what makes the countryside of Wiltshire "spectacular", as I have not been there yet.
Completely understandable. If you are that fit, even riding around in the lowest setting (NOT turbo!) on flat roads might be overkill. I was more interested in why you chose a mountain bike and not an electric assisted road bike like the Specialized Creo if you were going to ride it only on...
Other than being the coolest looking roadie riding that bike to work, what made you decide to switch from a hardtail to a full suspension mountain bike to ride to work? Asking for a friend who is considering doing the same thing (riding to work on a mountain bike).
Welcome! If you are looking for advice on what kind of bike you should to buy, you should make a list starting with your experience, age, the type of trails you like to ride, how often you ride and of course, your budget. Most of the people on here are from the UK with and average age of 60...
If you asking specific questions about your bike or parts, you will get more responses in the Forums that List those specific topics. Look for the Haibike Forum and post the questions as some forums are not very active.
Well... way to pick a topic to start an argument! If you are an aggressive rider, can ride with anything less than EXO+/Cushcore, have tried DD/DH tires and noticed the rotational weight, I can tell you that you have found the perfect group to start that discussion (although, its been beat to...
Welcome! Try not to ask anything controversial (Are FF better than SL for me? or Do I look fat on my bike?), state any opinions that might be taken as facts (25 PSI is the absolute lowest tire pressure that any reasonable person should ever run their tires at!) and you will get along just fine...
Nice! We dont ride in the snow around here as its pretty dangerous with all the hidden roots and rocks. Silverstar has a good variety of DH trails to ride including my 2 favorite trails of all time (Pipe Dream and Flow). If you check out the link shown below, you can see what they look like...
Welcome to the forum dominated by riders from the UK (they did start it, so... fair) My wife and I visit the Okanagan several times a year as it is home to one of the best bike parks around (Sliverstar!) and her parents live there.
Alright then! I run an Ohlins TTX22m coil shock with an Ohlins RXF36 M.2 air. My wife and I run this setup on our Levo SLs and on a Kenevo SL I have a Fox 38 Factory fork. You might as well start with some of the best and then you can save your money by not making incremental steps! Being an...
Do you have a particular reason why you don't like the shock that is on the bike? If you are going to upgrade a shock to something that is better than the one that is already on the bike, it will cost you over $500-1000+ so check out some youtube channels like this one to get a better...
