GaryLake Free Member. Scott Spark I would move this bike up to 2 if it was just Xc and Trail riding. Pretty much every major bike make has stepped up and makes good trail bikes so I think you will be surprised and happy with just about anything you get.
Good Luck. It felt good to me but was hard to compare. Since the bike shops where I live only stock a couple of options in size and variety and tend to only demo Enduro bikes or downhill bikes. There is a place that sell Santa Cruz so I will head over there soon.
And I might be able to find a yeti within a couple of hours so I'll try to get to them too Thanks for the tips. Posted: Sep 12, at Not a ton off, but better than retail. I have not had an issue with any pedal bob on any of my SC's. The HTLT is actually more fun, but doesn't pedal quite as well and weighs a tad more.
Living in the foothills of NC, I have my local bike and my "mtn" bike. Posted: Sep 13, at Find out surprisingly nimble for what I was expecting from a 29er. The carbon model seems on same currently. Showing reviews 1—20 of Sort by: Date Rating.
Score Score 6. Score 8. Score 7. The Whyte SC trail bike continues to impress, even three years after its launch. Trail bikes are the undisputed all-rounders of the bike industry. In this group test, we review 15 of the most exciting models of the season. Alongside our Best in Test and best buyers tips, we also discovered what is probably the biggest revolution in the mountain bike segment for !
Note: This group test is from In the meantime we published a more recent group test with 22 mountain bikes for trails, tours and adventures in review.
Enjoy the read! The bike industry has spent many years categorising bikes. For a long time this made a lot of sense, but then those categories became increasingly specific and niche until the individual designations became absurd.
Who needs an all-mountain bike with freeride DNA? At ENDURO, we prefer to keep it simple: for us, it is not about categories for the sake of categorisation but rather about finding the best solution for a specific application. Trail bikes are the most versatile of the lot. They excel in every kind of terrain and can usually be used for a versatile range of applications. While the market is dominated by all-rounders, there are also more and more trail bikes that focus on specific handling characteristics.
These are the trail bikes that have been optimised for very specific uses, such as maximum fun on flow trails or ultimate comfort on multi-day rides. The past weeks and months have seen some very exciting bikes being launched. When we started planning this group test, we already knew that Specialized would launch a particularly exciting new bike shortly before the release of this issue — the Levo SL.
The latter is the best eMTB currently on the market. Due to its decreased weight, the Levo SL sounded like a super exciting candidate for this group test. After all, one of the main criticisms of eMTBs from traditional mountain bikers often concerns their increased weight. That meant we quickly decided to include it in the group test. Having reviewed the NOX Helium and Lapierre eZesty in the past, we already had an idea of how much potential there is in this new type of light eMTB, but during our testing, it took us completely by surprise again.
But more on that in a moment. This question pops up after every group test and the answer is relatively simple. On the one hand, the number of bikes in our tests is limited, so we concentrate on the most popular brands from our reader survey.
Last but not least, availability can also be a problem. The range of application for trail bikes is broad, which was exactly what the test conditions had to mimic.
To this end, we returned to Massa Vecchia once again. Besides forest service roads, we also took on a lot of technical climbs. We doubled the size of our test team for this group test. As a rule, we always have three to four testers ride the bikes at ENDURO in order to get the most complete picture possible — this time it was eight!
From the weekend warrior and bike park shredder to the bikepacker and suspension nerd, we included every sort of rider! When else do we have the opportunity to compare so many bikes directly against each other? This group test also revealed some exciting findings that could play a decisive role in your bike purchase, or simply keep you up to date and informed when you chat with your mates on the trail.
If you compare the bikes, most geometry tables look very similar on paper, but often their handling is worlds apart on the trail. Case in point, the Cannondale Habit and the Nukeproof Reactor are almost identical with On the Habit, the effective seat tube angle slackens out significantly as the dropper post gets extended thanks to a pronounced kink in the seat tube. In contrast, the straight seat tube on the Reactor means the effective seat tube angle remains roughly the same. In addition, suspension and sag also have a strong influence on the pedalling position.
If the rear end wallows on the climbs, the seat tube angle slackens even further.
