from single track magazine and single
0:02
track worldcom and I have a live video
0:05
for you today this is a question and
0:07
answer video you being the readers out
0:11
there the viewers I should say if you've
0:13
got any questions for me then pop them
0:16
in the comment section below and I will
0:18
try to answer them throughout this video
0:20
I am broadcasting live and I'm in Benz
0:23
workshop again my good friend Ben has
0:25
finally lent me this space to use for
0:28
shooting some videos including this one
0:29
and I have a bike behind me right here
0:32
and this is the new 2019 Kenyan neuron
0:36
CF so this is what this video is all
0:38
about we're going to talk about this
0:39
bike some of the features of it I've
0:41
been riding it for a couple of days now
0:44
it's really fresh can you know and they
0:46
launched it I think it was last barely a
0:49
week ago Tuesday last week so it's very
0:52
very new but we do have one in for a
0:54
proper test now you may have read our
0:56
launch article on single track worldcom
0:59
and but we do have one here for a proper
1:04
test I've got this for a good month or
1:07
two so I'm gonna be riding at testing
1:09
the bejesus out of it over the summer
1:11
season of course it is summer here in
1:13
Australia where I'm filming this from
1:15
we're about to you from if you're
1:17
watching this live see we've got some
1:19
viewers there hello thanks for joining
1:20
us tell me where in the world you're
1:22
watching from and perhaps you're gearing
1:25
up for a weekend of riding yourself I'm
1:28
gonna be heading to Buxton tomorrow so
1:30
I'll talk about that a little bit later
1:31
but yet tell me where in the world
1:33
you're watching from what you're writing
1:35
plans are for this weekend we've got
1:37
lots of fans from all over the world who
1:39
follow single track and we always love
1:41
to hear whereabouts you're you're
1:43
watching from whether that's in the UK
1:44
Australia America Europe anywhere around
1:48
in the world where you might be watching
1:50
this from so by all means
1:52
tune in let me know if you're getting
1:54
questions on this bike I'm going to talk
1:56
about it now so it is the 2019 Kenyan
1:59
neuron cf this is brand-new from German
2:02
brand Canyon so for those who aren't
2:05
familiar with the brand Canyon is
2:07
probably one of if not the largest
2:09
direct-to-consumer bike brands that
2:11
means that they sell their bikes
2:13
direct-to-consumer so you jump on the
2:15
website find the bike that you want
2:17
click buy purchase the bike and it gets
2:21
sent directly to your door
2:22
now they've been expanding they're in
2:25
there I should say they're being
2:27
expanding the markets that they operate
2:28
in so think in Australia they launched a
2:31
bit over three years ago of course
2:33
they're available in America they've
2:34
been available in the UK for some time
2:36
as well and all across Europe as well
2:39
and very very popular the pricing is
2:42
pretty sharp and the last 12 months
2:45
they've been putting out a load of new
2:47
bikes
2:47
I think off the top of my head they've
2:50
launched the new spectral spectral ebike
2:52
of course there was a sender downhill
2:54
bike last year that was big news we've
2:57
also had the new Lux cross-country race
2:59
bike which came out earlier this year
3:01
we've had the spectral women's model
3:04
we've had this new model which is the
3:07
neuron and Kenyon's also launched an
3:09
e-bike version of this so they've been
3:11
really really busy the last 12 months
3:13
and for the years preceding that as well
3:15
getting these bikes ready for markets so
3:18
they're pretty excited about this and
3:20
they're certainly on paper a lot to be
3:22
interested about it's a 130 ml travel
3:24
trail bike so it's a 29 or trail bike
3:27
and for a lot of brands that's kind of
3:29
the bread and butter that's what 80% of
3:32
mountain bikers out there could probably
3:33
be on this type of bike a mid travel
3:37
29er or mid travel 27.5 inch bike to
3:41
cover a lot of riding everything from
3:43
sort of a cross country through the more
3:45
technical kind of all-mountain riding so
3:49
so yeah this is a bike that's been kind
3:51
of and there's been a bit of
3:52
anticipation about this bike because up
3:55
until this point Canyon hasn't really
3:57
had a lightweight carbon mid travel
3:59
trail bike of course they've had the 100
4:01
millimetre travel luxe which is a cross
4:03
country race bike and the 150 millimetre
4:06
travel spectral trail bike or mountain
4:09
bike whatever you want to call it so
4:10
this guy here
4:11
it's smack bang in the middle it's
4:13
designed to kind of carry a bit of both
4:15
bikes both the luxe
4:17
and the spectral into the one thing
4:19
which Canyon is well they've kind of
4:22
launched it as its own unique thing so
4:24
I'll talk about that and
4:26
in a little moment so so yes the neuron
4:29
does exist in a cannon lineup already
4:31
there's been an aluminium version for a
4:32
few years and prior to that was called
4:35
the nerve so the name change from the
4:37
nerve to the neuron the neuron is the
4:39
newer name for this particular bike but
4:43
this is a carbon fiber version is you
4:45
can probably see and if you've sort of
4:47
seen any of the articles or reviews
4:50
about this bike so far the layout of the
4:52
carbon fiber model is completely
4:54
different to the aluminium neuron
4:56
they're both one 30ml travel 29 errs and
4:59
the geometry is virtually identical
5:01
between the two but this is made from
5:04
carbon fiber and it has a different
5:05
suspension arrangement this is called
5:08
the triple phase suspension design from
5:10
Canyon you might have seen this with the
5:12
the new spectral then you talked the
5:15
sender is where it kind of started and
5:17
it's trickled down through the range
5:19
from there even the lux cross country
5:21
bike has this new top tube mounted rear
5:24
shock and this rocker link system for
5:28
activating the rear shocks so we can
5:30
talk a little bit about that the
5:32
geometry on this bike and some of the
5:33
frame features as well and I'll give you
5:36
a little bit of info about what it's
5:37
been like to ride the last couple of
5:39
days and kind of getting it set up as
5:40
well now if you've got any questions I
5:42
see we've got more people tuning in live
5:44
so welcome everyone thanks for joining
5:46
thanks for watching and if you'd like to
5:48
throw any questions my way I've got a
5:50
fair bit of information about this bike
5:52
so I think I can answer most questions
5:54
and if I can't then I'll go away after
5:58
this video I'll find those answers for
5:59
you and I'll drop them into the comment
6:01
section here so if you're watching let
6:03
me know what questions you've got about
6:04
this bike and tell me where in the world
6:06
you're watching from we'd love to know
6:08
whereabouts you're watching from
6:10
wherever that might be on this earth so
6:13
who so let's talk about the suspension
6:15
design the triple phase suspension so
6:18
it's called triple phase because yep you
6:22
guessed it it's separated into three
6:24
different phases so Kenyon states that
6:27
of the 130 mile travel on the back here
6:29
the first portion of the travel is
6:31
designed to be sensitive so there's a
6:33
fair bit of leverage on the rear shock
6:35
in that first oh we've got some
6:36
questions coming through Marcel says hey
6:38
how does it
6:39
pair to my current neuron al we've got
6:42
Callum who said watching from North
6:44
Yorkshire
6:44
hello Callum thanks for joining and
6:46
we've got Mario V from Texas USA hello
6:49
Mario thanks for joining so my cell your
6:52
question about the current neuron al can
6:54
you tell me which which year model your
6:58
neuron al is because they can indeed
7:00
launch a brand-new neuron al only about
7:03
six weeks ago so if it's one of those or
7:05
if it's the model we've we've had before
7:07
that let me know which ear model your
7:09
neuron al is and I'll be able to tell
7:10
you what the differences are James
7:12
Vincent we've got Jimmy D tuning in here
7:15
hello James g'day indeed g'day and we've
7:18
got Marcel and hi from the Netherlands
7:20
fantastic alright let me know which
7:22
model you've got there
7:23
Marcella know of trying to answer that
7:25
for you so going back to the triple
7:27
phase suspension so the first portion of
7:29
the travel is designed to be sensitive
7:31
so you've got good comfort and good
7:33
small bumps sensitivity the middle
7:35
portion of the travel is designed to be
7:37
stable now the middle portion is
7:39
basically starts at the stack so when
7:42
you sit on the bike suspension sags to
7:44
about 27 to 30 percent through the
7:46
travel and that's when you get into the
7:48
middle of the travel and that's designed
7:49
to be stable oh we've got Matthew from
7:51
Somerset welcome Matthew thanks for
7:52
joining and how's the weather in
7:55
Somerset at the moment we've got we've
7:58
got someone here from Israel our
8:00
revolution welcome thanks for joining
8:02
thanks for letting us know where you're
8:04
tuning in from and if anyone else is
8:06
watching live hello and tell us where
8:08
you tell us whereabouts in the world
8:09
you're tuning in from back to the
8:12
suspension I'll go through that so that
8:14
middle portion is designed to be stable
8:15
and that's from the SAG point onwards
8:17
and then the last portion of the travel
8:19
is designed to be progressive and the
8:21
idea there is to give the suspension
8:23
enough support so when you're really
8:25
crunching through the travel sail for
8:27
small drop-off or into a just a really
8:30
hard fast hit that last portion of the
8:33
travel is designed to ramp up become
8:35
firmer in order to prevent bottom out of
8:37
the rear shock so that's the triple
8:39
phase suspension design it's been seen
8:41
on the spectra all the talk the sender
8:43
deluxe and now it's on the new neuron CF
8:45
as well and this is one area that this
8:48
bike differs from the aluminium version
8:50
the add the neuron al
8:52
all right so good talk a little bit
8:55
about the frame and some of the features
8:56
on here it is of course full carbon now
8:59
unlike some other brands that might do a
9:01
carbon front-end and alloy rear this is
9:03
all carbon fiber so we have a carbon
9:05
fiber mainframe carbon fiber seat stays
9:08
and chain stays even the yoke that
9:11
connects the rear shock to the back
9:13
linkage this is actually fiber
9:15
reinforced injection molded plastic so
9:18
it's basically a really fancy plastic
9:20
with fibers in it as well so very
9:23
lightweight it's a compact little shock
9:25
yoke here Kenyon has done this this is
9:28
quite clever actually and you would have
9:29
seen this kind of feature this kind of
9:32
suspension feature on other bikes what
9:35
am I thinking
9:36
specialized there's a good example with
9:37
the enduro and Stumpjumper they use a
9:40
similar kind of yoke arrangement here
9:42
and the idea is to capture the end of
9:44
the rear shock so this part of the rear
9:47
shock it's it's effectively extending
9:49
out the rear shock to here so you're
9:51
kind of extending the total I died
9:53
length and instead of the shock rotating
9:56
here where you would normally have a d-u
9:58
bushing it doesn't rotate here it
10:00
actually rotates at the back of the
10:02
linkage where there are two cartridge
10:03
bearings well we've got Marcel here
10:05
who's updating me it's the canyon neuron
10:07
Lal 9.9 SL from 2017
10:10
I think it has 110 or 120 mil up front
10:13
like the bike for local trails but isn't
10:15
really playful that's a really good
10:17
point you've got there Marcel so the
10:20
2017 and prime neuron al I assume it's
10:23
the 29 you've got because you've got 120
10:25
mil travel on the front the previous
10:29
compared to the previous neuron both Al
10:32
and the carbon this bike has gotten
10:34
predictably a little longer in the reach
10:36
a little bit slacker in the head angle
10:38
as well it's also got a touch deeper in
10:40
the seat angles so geometry wise it has
10:43
been updated compared to the the bike
10:46
you're on at the moment now I have had a
10:49
fair bit of experience with the previous
10:51
neuron al I tested one a couple of years
10:53
ago when I was in Australia before I
10:56
left for the UK and so far this does
10:59
ride quite a bit differently
11:02
particularly with that's like a head
11:03
angle it feels a lot more stable already
11:06
at speed and and obviously heading
11:09
downhill as well with the front wheel
11:10
pushed out in front of you a little bit
11:12
further that larger wheelbase that you
11:16
get from extending slackening out the
11:18
head angle and extending the reach it
11:20
just gives the bike a bit more footprint
11:22
on the trail so already it does
11:24
definitely feel a bit more stable on the
11:26
descents and the suspension design is
11:28
quite a bit different as well in my
11:31
experience anyway compared to the 2017
11:33
and prior neuron al so I'll go into a
11:35
little bit of detail about that soon so
11:38
yes there are a few differences if you
11:41
want to jump on our website single track
11:43
WorldCom we had a launch article on the
11:45
new neuron ale and there's also an
11:47
article about this bike then you're on
11:49
CF CF for carbon fibre al for aluminium
11:52
in case you're wondering and we've got
11:54
all of the details about the bike there
11:56
particularly with al article there's a
11:58
lot of comparative information about
12:01
that bike versus the one that you have
12:02
so would be worth jumping on there
12:04
because you'll you'll be able to find
12:06
out all the exact differences so going
12:08
back to this bike here we've just been
12:11
talking about suspension design and this
12:13
neat little shock yoke and the idea with
12:16
eliminating rotation of the lower shocks
12:19
d-u bushing and using two cartridge
12:21
bearings at the back here is you just
12:23
get smoother actuation so the D U
12:25
bushing is more likely to have a
12:27
slightly stickier kind of feel with
12:29
rotation whereas cartridge bearings
12:31
typically tend to be a bit smoother so
12:33
Kenyon's done that as well as extending
12:35
the rear shock to get the kinematics
12:37
that they want the shock itself is worth
12:39
talking about because it's pretty big
12:41
it's a 210 i - i and it's a 50
12:43
millimeter stroke so for those of you
12:46
who are good with mathematics 50
12:48
millimeter stroke 130 ml if we do the
12:52
maths there you're looking at an average
12:53
let me just look at my notes here if
12:56
you're looking at average leverage
12:57
leverage ratios 2.6 to 1
12:59
of course the leverage ratio changes
13:01
throughout the travel that's the triple
13:03
phase suspension design
13:04
so you've got three distinct phases
13:06
there and the suspension rate does
13:07
change through those three portions but
13:10
overall if you average it out it's 2.6
13:14
to 1 which is quite low especially for a
13:16
trail bike like this oh we've got some
13:18
questions coming through
13:20
let me have a look here so we've got
13:21
Sebastian how are the Reynolds wheels
13:23
very good question Sebastian I've only
13:26
had a couple of rides on this so far so
13:28
I can't really comment on long-term
13:29
durability but they are quite nicely
13:31
SPECT as a four-pole mechanism in the
13:34
rear hub there Reynolds owned hubs and
13:36
they're laced with straight pull spokes
13:38
- Reynolds owned carbon fiber rims the
13:41
rims themselves are quite wide they're
13:43
30 millimeter internal width so that's
13:45
quite modern that's what I think is kind
13:48
of on point for this sort of trail bike
13:50
tires around 2.3 to 2.4 inches wide
13:54
we've got another question here does it
13:56
come into any other colours yes but each
13:58
model comes in its own unique color so
14:00
if you want this blue you're basically
14:03
looking at this complete spec here this
14:05
is the mid spec model it's the CF 9.0 SL
14:09
and there are two higher-end models
14:11
compared to this and there are two
14:12
cheaper models compared to this in each
14:14
spec level comes with its own unique
14:16
paint job they all have the same frame I
14:19
should stipulate that the same
14:21
suspension design the same carbon fiber
14:23
frame five models but each model changes
14:26
the spec the suspension the wheels the
14:29
drivetrain breaks etc etc depending on
14:32
the price level so this one smack bang
14:34
in the middle that's probably a good
14:35
point to segue to how much this bike is
14:38
in the UK this would be selling for
14:41
three thousand three hundred and forty
14:42
nine pounds and in Australia this is
14:44
five thousand three hundred and ninety
14:46
nine dollars there you go alright we've
14:49
got some more questions coming through
14:50
what have we got here Marcel are these
14:55
decals on the wheels removable slashers
14:58
replaceable yes there are decals so you
15:00
can peel those off if you don't want
15:01
them replace all you'd have to speak to
15:03
Reynolds about that I don't know these
15:04
are relatively new the TR 309 wheels but
15:07
we can find that out from from Reynolds
15:10
alright we have some other questions yes
15:16
Marcel is going back to the pre the 2017
15:19
neuron ale and he's mentioned the neuron
15:22
69 degree head angle yes so there you go
15:25
so this is 67.5 so it's one and a half
15:28
degrees slacker than the previous
15:30
generation neuron so that makes quite a
15:32
big difference
15:33
we've got Matthew here how does it
15:35
compare to the spectral spectral looks
15:37
to be more capable dh4 a little
15:38
compromise what do you reckon
15:40
great question Matthew this Patrol is
15:42
Kenyon's do it all technical long travel
15:47
trail bike I guess you want to call it
15:49
long travel trail slash all Mountain
15:51
yeah whatever you want to call it it's
15:54
designed for more rugged kind of riding
15:56
if you're the sort of rider that likes
15:57
hitting jumps this is a this is a really
15:59
good differentiator the spectral maybe
16:02
the better trail bike for you
16:03
canyon has designed the neuron CF to be
16:06
more of an all-around trail bike it's
16:08
kind of more like a long-legged
16:10
cross-country bike so you've got the
16:11
travel bit throughout on technical
16:13
terrain and to help you out on the
16:15
descents you've got that slacker
16:16
geometry you've got bigger brakes you've
16:18
got bigger tires bigger rims drop a post
16:21
all those kind of things that make trail
16:23
riding fun in my opinion but it's still
16:26
designed to be a fast and efficient bike
16:28
so canyon has stipulated quite heavily I
16:31
might add in their launch information
16:33
that this isn't a bike design for real
16:36
hard-hitting pinners so there are bikes
16:39
out there in this travel rack on 30 mil
16:42
travel trail bikes that are much slacker
16:44
and much lower or much longer and oil
16:47
shock or they come with a you know
16:48
bigger travel fork and they're kind of
16:50
designed for absolutely smashing on you
16:52
know dual slalom tracks and in the woods
16:54
on jumps and kind of just getting quite
16:57
an alley on on a short travel bike this
16:59
isn't one of those bikes or at least
17:01
that's what Canyon is suggesting it's
17:03
more of a lightweight trail bike so so
17:06
compared to the spectral it is designed
17:09
to cover more ground
17:11
you know climb further ride more cross
17:13
country trails perhaps dabble in a bit
17:14
of endurance racing or marathon racing
17:17
I'm sure with some lighter tires you
17:18
could get away with that with this
17:20
platform for that kind of riding
17:22
so hopefully that explains the
17:24
difference with spectral I've got more
17:26
questions coming through we've got more
17:27
people tuning in welcome to our live Q&A
17:30
video on this new Canyon neuron CF so if
17:35
god what else do we have Sebastian have
17:39
you heard of the 2019 spectral cinema
17:42
low spec yes
17:43
so Kenyon has brought out some 2000
17:46
in spec options for for all of its bikes
17:49
actually including the spectral we've
17:51
tested the spectral before which you can
17:53
read the review on single track WorldCom
17:55
and II really really liked that bike
17:58
I've ridden it myself a couple of times
18:00
and it was a load of fun to ride but
18:02
Andy's review is on our website if you
18:04
wanna have a look there's no change to
18:06
the frame for 2019 with the spectral
18:09
platform it's just different spec
18:11
options or different bits that come
18:12
strapped to it so yes I have heard of
18:14
those but no fundamental changes to the
18:18
spectral platform right Paul since 2019
18:25
spectral has gone up ten millimeters
18:26
travel front rear that's a really
18:28
interesting point I didn't know that and
18:31
that makes everything I just said
18:32
completely invalid just before because I
18:35
understood that the the frame is
18:37
unchanged maybe it's a bigger Fork
18:39
perhaps a 160 ml travel fork to balance
18:43
the 150 ml rear on the spectral good
18:45
question we'll find that out for you but
18:47
from what I understand the frame is
18:48
exactly the same we've got some more
18:50
questions coming through yeah we've got
18:54
some thumbs up excellent thanks for
18:57
watching thanks for tuning in we've got
18:58
dev with the horns going on Matthew with
19:00
the thumbs up thank you no problem at
19:02
all I'll keep talking about this bike
19:04
one thing I want to ask you guys
19:06
watching live what do you think this
19:08
bike weighs so without the pedals
19:11
without the water-bottle so just as it
19:14
would come out of the box this is a
19:16
medium neuron CF 9.0 SL I'll run through
19:20
rattle through a few of the specs to
19:22
give you a hand but please put your
19:24
guesses in the comment section we'll see
19:26
who gets closest to the right weight so
19:29
we've got Max's forecaster tires on here
19:31
the is a 2.35 inches wide so fairly big
19:34
bag but designed to be a fast rolling
19:36
kind of technical cross country tire
19:38
Reynolds Reynolds TR 309 wheels which I
19:42
mentioned before carbon-fiber rims 30ml
19:44
internal width
19:44
we've got Fox suspension front rear
19:46
that's the 34 performance a lead on the
19:48
front and we've got the DPS Evo shot on
19:52
the back we've got some guesses coming
19:54
through 12.5 kilos twelve point eight
19:57
kilos winner takes it all
19:59
10.22 kilos hello Tim from Wales thanks
20:02
for joining
20:03
all right I've got more guessing I'll
20:05
keep her out length through the specs
20:07
Stram guide breaks we've got a SRAM
20:10
Eagle drivetrain this is a mix of GX and
20:13
XO 1 eagle and we have a Fox transfer
20:16
drop a post and Kenyon's open saddle
20:19
hand the bar and stem we've got all
20:23
Phillipe says 12 and Mario said 27
20:25
pounds no I do have the weight in pounds
20:30
so I don't need to translate that that
20:32
works Matthew's got another question
20:34
just bear with me a moment Matthew we're
20:36
just gonna see who gets the way to this
20:38
bike all right
20:40
thirteen point two kilos you're a little
20:43
off but you're not far I think the
20:45
closest guess was let me just scroll up
20:47
here Phillipe atvs wins with 12.5 kilos
20:54
this bike is actually twelve point five
20:56
six so what are you 60 grams off so well
21:00
done that was pretty much bang on I
21:02
guess 60 grams could change depending on
21:04
how much sealant you're running in the
21:06
tubeless tires and so twelve point five
21:08
six kilos which works out to be twenty
21:10
seven point six three pounds for those
21:13
of you who are using old money and
21:16
awfully you've just had another guess of
21:18
eleven point seven no the first one was
21:20
right and so Mario V with 27 pounds you
21:24
would you were just off just slightly by
21:26
point six three of the pound so there
21:29
you go Callum I guess first did you let
21:32
me scroll up sorry these comments are
21:34
going in way too fast
21:35
12.5 kilos oh I apologize you you are
21:38
correct so both you and Filipe yes right
21:40
and Marcel you weren't far offered
21:42
either
21:43
Tim from Wales it's a little bit lighter
21:45
than that but not not bad of a guess so
21:47
well done everyone for for guessing the
21:49
weight of this particular bike twelve
21:51
point five six kilos not particularly
21:53
light if you're comparing it to a crush
21:55
country full suspension bite like the
21:57
lux for example Kenyans own 100 ml by
21:59
k-- but given it's got pretty robust
22:01
components on it
22:03
it's pretty reasonable really Kenyans
22:05
also built the frame it is carbon fiber
22:08
but it's not it's not the absolute
22:11
lightest and bare minimum
22:12
I take it there the good question about
22:15
the competitors which bike do you regard
22:17
as the equivalent and says Marcel yes
22:20
I'll get back to Matthews question sorry
22:22
apologies for missing that one Matthews
22:24
so we've got what is the main
22:25
competition are there any direct sell
22:27
equivalents that you could would
22:29
recommend considering if you're in the
22:31
market for a bike at this price point
22:32
really good question
22:34
so I was doing a bit of research about
22:36
this bike and the competitors you know
22:39
what sort of bikes are out there with
22:40
this kind of travel and this kind of
22:43
wheel size two bikes spring to mind
22:46
Trek fuel ax so that is a hundred and
22:49
thirty million 29er which will take plus
22:52
tires I should I should add this bike
22:54
won't take plus tires I'll get onto that
22:55
and then in a moment we've got white t
22:58
130 Tim from Wales has suggested true
23:01
though the white is a twenty seven point
23:03
five inch bike this is twenty nine inch
23:05
though I should add
23:07
it's a 29er in the medium large and
23:10
extra-large frame sizes once you go to
23:13
the small and the extra small the frame
23:15
shrinks obviously and the chainstay
23:18
shrinks and it goes to twenty seven
23:19
point five inch wheels and that's to
23:21
keep the handling and the fit similar
23:25
between the extra small and the extra
23:27
large so it is a 29er in this medium and
23:30
the large and extra-large but it's small
23:32
wheels in the smaller frame sizes so
23:34
going back to competitors trek fueling X
23:37
is a good comparison and the G the new
23:41
GT sensor is a bike that is also playing
23:46
in the same travel bracket at the new GT
23:48
sensor is also the 130 more travel also
23:51
29 inch wheels and we've actually got at
23:55
the UK office and our northern office we
23:59
have the the new gene elect being tested
24:03
as we speak and that's kind of a
24:05
head-to-head review and so be eager to
24:08
find out how that compares to the neuron
24:11
CF as far as direct to consumer brands I
24:17
would it's difficult to say because the
24:21
ytg FC is is also a trial bike but it is
24:24
a bit more
24:26
I think it's a 140 me like and I think
24:30
in terms of intention the Jeff see is
24:32
designed for kind of harder riding
24:34
whereas the neuron caf this bike here is
24:38
more kind of a fast trail bike and a
24:43
cross-country trail bike long leg by
24:45
like this would be competing with on the
24:47
marker so I've just mentioned the the GT
24:50
sensor in the track if you are mister
24:53
white white s120 must be very close
24:59
excellent suggestion Paul Sims yes I
25:02
would say the white s 120 is more
25:04
comparable to this than the T 130
25:06
because the s 120 is of course a 29 a
25:10
trail bike as well so we've got a few
25:12
bit of an idea of sort of the market of
25:15
this bike is playing in specialized
25:17
Stumpjumper or travel that was the bike
25:20
I was thinking of that's also a short
25:23
travel 29er
25:23
it's got a little less travel in this
25:25
120 front and rear sorry 130 on the
25:27
front one 220 on the rear where is this
25:30
is 130 front and rear so yet Stumpjumper
25:33
short travel or from specialized is
25:37
another one let's speaking of sort of
25:43
competitors and how this by a compare is
25:47
let's have a bit of a look at the
25:50
geometry so I mentioned before the head
25:52
angle is sixty seven point five degrees
25:54
angle is seventy four point five degrees
25:56
so it's getting steep and the reach on
26:00
medium is four hundred and thirty
26:04
supreme villain me so it's not in
26:07
norming is going enormously long team
26:12
Naomi is to give you the rich numbers
26:14
for the other sizes what 398 if it's
26:18
small for a title they give the bike a
26:21
bit more agility through tight corners
26:25
but with shortchanged Bay's you can find
26:29
that the front wheel is more likely to
26:31
wander and lift on the clock I am and so
26:36
that's a reason therefore for that
26:38
particular number
26:39
thirty-eight million record drop so if
26:41
you measure along the bottom rap it's
26:45
thirty yeah the meters below that so
26:49
that's the geometry there of this bike
26:51
can anyone yes you cats will be quite
26:58
pleased then this is a feature that
27:00
you'll be familiar with already it
27:02
carries over to the neuron this wall oh
27:04
and it's called the cable channel
27:08
channel I think Oh was really good at
27:12
the start but unwatchable at the moment
27:14
oh I'm sorry about that Marcel let me
27:17
know if you've got any particularly
27:19
questions about this fight but if you'd
27:21
like me to talk about anything in
27:22
particular but given this is a prayer
27:26
and you bite we just wanted to introduce
27:28
it give people some information bear out
27:32
spec some lebar like what it's designed
27:36
to do and and kind of like the marker
27:40
then it's desires or you want to see it
27:42
set up more like a cross-country bike
27:46
you know and I've got plenty of time I
27:51
am just spitting wore this bike and I
27:56
misunderstood there that might be my
28:00
internet connection so apologies if
28:02
there is a lag to this video when we
28:04
finished the live video this will upload
28:06
at 4 Reds haha yeah sorry it's the lag
28:08
not your answers oh okay thanks Marcel
28:13
appreciate the clarification this
28:15
hopefully the internet speed picks up
28:17
it's it's a hot day here in aliases the
28:22
services might be in England I think
28:27
um so yes sir ready to carry out on
28:30
there with the features of this frame
28:33
this cable channel fantastic
28:38
so it's external okay a ball underneath
28:44
the dad don't you
28:46
and these two cap good underneath this
28:52
oh really
28:58
you really neat and leave that also you
29:02
just um and that's we check the car
29:04
locks kind of flip actually got a little
29:07
cut the bolt on here and these
29:21
oh my god covers on the world um well uh
29:37
with ball go he crashed the end we're in
29:46
a rush
29:50
at the table I'm very in that right so
30:00
that's kind of the features of course
30:03
lose my best answer them for either
30:05
better outside of me eighty percent are
30:07
slightly travel if you're doing you know
30:09
fire roads and kind of smooth a single
30:11
track you could run it a little bit
30:13
lighter that 27% to get a firmer feel at
30:16
the pedals and but I'm good which are
30:22
just will be can also type crashes
30:35
Oh
30:40
[Music]
30:47
me II not really had in fast so if
30:50
anyone's got any fresh - you want me to
30:52
answer a bit more ride time on this path
30:55
where it's tight and all so we do
31:05
beyond huge right
31:13
I'm good Hey Oh fine see this is the fun
31:21
people watching live welcome you have a
31:31
cold shower and then probably go right
31:32
yeah I'm good on Facebook web sites
