Thank you for sharing the link! Do you happen to have the parts list you used for your final build? I noticed you added a Wolf Tooth headset; it looks like some of the components on your bike are higher-end. I really enjoy your channel and find your videos very informative!

I bought my XC(light trail setup) from ICAN. No pun intended, I can 100% recommend buying from them. Haven had a problem. And the service was perfect.

ICAN is like the premiere Chinese carbon dealer for sure. I don't think you can go wrong with them. You'll pay a little more but you get a warranty.

I bought a full suspension Chinese carbon mtb about 5 years ago and it was a good idea👍🏿👍🏿 I'm no longer riding that bike but I still have it.

@VisionMTB I'm thinking about putting mine back together as well. It's a 29er from a company by the name of Carbonal or something like that🤔 I'm thinking about turning it into a full suspension cycle cross bike.

Been looking for a new xc bike. Contenders are the Cervelo ZFS and Mach 4sl but I'll probably get a $600 chiner knockoff Epic Evo.

Yeah it's a cost/benefit thing for many. If you don't care about a brand sticker on your bike it certainly makes it easier.

2:24 Frame construction looks good. But not a fan of a kinked seat tube, as it limits insertion depth of the dropper post. Not a bike I would buy, but not complete trash. But I'm sure this is far better than the 2014 Trek Fuel EX I had, super flexy, bearings got pushed out, RD hanger bent on every ride. So that bike had to go.

Hello there! I'm torn between the ICAN P1, Trifox, Airwolf, DYI or BXT carbon and the Himalo AL bike frame. I'm particularly drawn to the geometry of your Himalo. I'm grappling with whether to invest an extra $200 for carbon or opt for an aluminum frame and upgrade components. At the end is the Himalo a good frame? At the end is weight really important for the weekend trail rider? Your insights would be immensely valuable in helping me make the right decision for my purchase and bike build. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide!

Well I think in my case I went aluminum because I wanted a sturdy frame that I wouldn't have to baby. My carbon is fine, no problems and it's 25.2lbs. You can feel the difference throwing it around. The Himalo is a nice frame with modern geometry so if you're fine with the weight it's a solid deal. The frame should be about 8.5lbs or so.

@VisionMTB Thank you! I think I would be freaking out every time I crash or when my frame hits a rock. I already freak out when I chip on my hardtail.

I am riding a Giant Stance 2 29 and I am in need for a good bike, are these frames good and should I get them for aggressive riding?
@VisionMTB
10 ай бұрын
Funny, my wife has a 2023 Stance and I'd say that frame is super close in design to the Himalo. The Giant is more polished and has a better paint job but getting a frame only from them is unlikely.

Check AliExpress or eBay. Once you find a model you're interested in, do a Google search for reviews.

Totally. I've switched it up a bit and it's definitely better. There's one trail by me with narrow passes through trees so that makes it interesting.

Honestly I'd go with a Polygon Siskui D5 for $699 for a 12yo. It's a heck of a deal. You might be able to cobble one together cheaper from Ali but not by much at this point.
