but it's not really a mullet because
0:01
it's longer on the front and short on
0:03
the back kind of bullets the other way
0:04
around in it
0:07
hey boy Andy from single trip magazine
0:09
here and I'm at the NS booth where they
0:11
have a few new bikes for 2020 and yeah
0:14
let's get into it so which bike we're
0:15
going to talk about first
0:16
okay well start with the carbon definer
0:18
this bikes been in the range for 2019 so
0:22
just use a couple of updates this year
0:23
comes in 130 ml travel 150 ml travel
0:27
options it's the 150 pipe that's behind
0:30
us just comes with 160 ml car before
0:32
you've got semi ins a great cable Roo
0:35
thing adjustable reach ed set a standard
0:38
so loads of cool features on that bike
0:40
but perhaps what's more exciting this
0:42
year is the addition of the a loop
0:45
version of the define just brings the
0:47
price point down makes it a bit more
0:49
affordable does it have all the same
0:51
features as the carbon bike as well yes
0:53
they'll got a lot of the same features
0:54
so you've still got that semi integrated
0:57
cable routing Super slack ed angle
1:00
long reach probably one of the longer
1:02
enduro bikes out there and that will
1:04
again be available as 29 inch wheel
1:07
model with 130 or 150 mile travel
1:10
options or we've been looking at the
1:12
race version which is 29 on the front 27
1:16
a half hour back so if you so you've got
1:19
a few different options there you've got
1:20
like what everyone calls a mullet option
1:22
but it's not really a mullet because
1:24
it's longer on the front and short on
1:26
the back and a bullets the other way
1:27
around in it and so and you've got
1:32
different travel options Avenue so 130
1:34
ml and 150 ml yeah and alloy or carbon
1:37
now the guy as you mentioned the carbon
1:39
one has an adjustable headset reach does
1:41
the alloy version have that the
1:43
elevation doesn't have that adjustable
1:45
headset I should say both bikes you can
1:48
adjust the geometry by a little flip
1:50
chip at the base of the shock and that's
1:53
kind of interesting because it's not
1:54
like the flip chip that we normally see
1:56
which is like a little cookie that you
1:58
can take out and flip around it's
1:59
actually a new mount doesn't it that you
2:01
change yeah it's a slightly different
2:02
shape mount just adjust the position of
2:04
the shop
2:05
so it varies the progressivity and also
2:09
the geometry of the by dropping the BB
2:11
or raising it and on which chip you've
2:13
got in place so you can make it longer
2:14
lower or slacker or longest lowest and
2:18
slacker Estonia yes cool and it's not
2:21
only these enduro bikes that nests have
2:24
got on show as well there's some this is
2:26
actually really a cool
2:27
it's the synonym isn't it can you tell
2:28
us a bit about that so before anyone
2:30
says YNS making a XC bike that's not the
2:34
way to think about it the cinnamon is a
2:36
new short travel bike available in 100
2:39
and travel front and rear as the RC or
2:42
race bike and also 120 mil front and
2:46
rear that's there more trail orientated
2:49
like these bikes are longer and slacker
2:52
with a steeper seat you've than any
2:54
other sort of short travel XC trail bike
2:58
that you'll find on the market so that
3:00
very capable bikes and will be a lot of
3:02
fun we've actually received the synonym
3:06
in the office and with the way geometry
3:08
is going like I've always gone for a
3:10
large a large and then when you guys
3:12
brought the large and I sat on it and
3:14
it's a 500 mil reach isn't it yeah
3:16
that's right sir very long right so yeah
3:18
I mean it looks like a cross-country
3:20
bike but geometry rise reach wise it's
3:22
pretty gnarly bike it's probably one of
3:25
the most progressive bikes out there
3:26
should be our tackle anything that you
3:29
would on a normal trail bike and there
3:32
what about the frame material for those
3:33
so it's carbon only at the moment as
3:35
full carbon frame front rear triangle
3:38
they're loose and not carbon is the
3:39
rocker on the shot fully integrated
3:44
cable routing you got lockout shock all
3:47
fox equipped SRAM drive chains
3:50
Annis wheels finishing kept really great
3:54
place so if if someone looked at these
3:56
bikes today and they were like we want
3:58
to buy it where when can they get them
3:59
and where can they get them so
4:02
unfortunately there's a little bit of a
4:03
weight on these bikes they will be
4:05
available from UK do is probably around
4:07
the new year in January but we should
4:11
hopefully have some demo bikes available
4:13
by the end as well and so you can get
4:15
down to your local dealer and go for a
4:18
test if you want to find out where your
4:20
local dealer is just head to the
4:21
hotlines website so we're the UK

4:26
