hello single trackers mark here i'm
0:03
out with this bike behind me you can see
0:07
sonder signal st i'm about to go and rag
0:09
it around the woods and see what it's
0:12
actually that's a lie you see how dirty
0:14
it is already we've already been around
0:15
the woods i just forgot to record the
0:37
so the signals come about as a kind of
0:42
from the sonder transmitter
0:46
which is as you know a 27.5 bike
0:51
now it turns out that a lot of people
0:52
were trying to cram 29 inch wheels into
0:55
and that's one of the reasons neil at
0:58
sunder decided to make the signal
1:00
to make it into a proper 29er
1:05
it first came out as a titanium version
1:09
and it was so popular that the nils now
1:13
but this slightly cheaper more
1:18
steel version using 4130
1:21
tubing it's kind of a bit old old-school
1:26
tubing wrapped up in modern geometry
1:33
the model i'm riding here
1:40
which basically means we're running a
1:44
nx group set and drivetrain
1:47
we've got a rockshox revelation fork on
1:52
and this nx version will set you back
2:02
what about the geometry on this we've
2:05
got a head angle of 66 degrees we've got
2:06
a seat tube angle of 74 degrees which is
2:11
that apparently is to try and give you
2:14
a bit of an all-day comfortable riding
2:16
position and make sure that
2:18
it's actually still okay in the climbs
2:22
we've got a reach on this medium of 440
2:25
millimeters that goes all the way up to
2:26
495 on the extra large
2:30
and the chain stays at the back these
2:33
are a particular feature this bike
2:35
remember this is the 29er that chain
2:38
stay at the back there
2:40
that's 425 millimeters which is crazy
2:45
now as you go up the sizes
2:49
that actually likes like chainstay will
2:51
actually lengthen by 10 millimeters up
2:54
up to 435 millimeters
2:58
if you're on an extra large that's to
3:01
make sure that as you
3:03
as the taller riders don't feel like the
3:06
front end is going to suddenly jump up
3:09
so all in all it's a bit of a rowdy 29er
3:14
there's a lot of bike up the front
3:18
there's not a lot behind you it's kind
3:21
but the overall net effect is it's
3:24
really nippy in the turns
3:39
okay any bike's gonna be good on this
3:45
what's it like when it gets a little bit
3:48
and a bit more downy here let's find out
3:57
oh bad choice of gears to start with
4:46
that was fairly in control
