Are there any bikes you don't like? I'd like to hear more about what you don't like about each bike, maybe say who the bike is not for. Or maybe do a video where you rank the bikes you've tested (climbing, descending, value). Basically, you have convinced me that there are 15 bikes that are better than every bike I've ever ridden

Great review. You actually cover elements of bike feel that experienced riders think about and understand like the bike pivoting around your hips naturally, the affect of reach/sizing on ride control. All while shredding what appears to a great trail. Well done and thank you.

Make another video on this bike for sure. Sad know one does reviews on what this bike is capable of doing only just on spec and describing how it feels it’s like I can Google specs and you describing the bike is not the same as just riding it lol. Definitely liked that you took it on more of a narly trail instead of something smooth that barely has jumps!! Great review

What is the name of this test rider? Always love watching your videos as there is not a more talented test rider out there. I see this test rider had a recent operation he said on his elbow in his most recent video. Godspeed in your recovery. I must say, I just got a new 2023 Epic EVO Pro leftover for a steal from Specialized, but I always long to ride my Tallboy 4 still. I'm selling my TB but I'm always tempted to just say screw the efficiency of the Epic and get back on the yellow SC TB screamer and just have fun! Something about those Santa Cruz's...can't put my finger on it but they just get you stoked and excited to ride them!

Great vid as always. I've had my HT3 about 2 months and we haven't bonded yet. It is fun on fast, flowy trails, and definitely climbs good for the plush travel. However, I ride rocky western CO and northern AZ and the pedal-strikes and toe-stuffers are so frustrating. I'm in the low setting and set up for my weight - I really have to focus on pedal-placement at all times. I've gotten stopped climbing techy rocky sections due to the pedals hitting ground. I've tried the high setting and I lost the agileness I originally bought the bike for. I'll hang in there though, hoping it grows on me still

Had the same problem with my Ibis Ripmo. I installed 165mm cranks and the problem is solved. I'm 6' and the cranks do not feel too short. 170-175 cranks should be a thing of the past with long low and slack modern bikes.

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done kzitem.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.
