Awesome review! I think if you add some more varying terrain (flowy decends /techy climbs/techy descend) and some more description on how the bike behaves (popy/planted/plush/some more buzz words) It would take this review from awesome to PERFECT!

Great Vids . How would you compare the climbing performance of the 130 vs Norco optic.

Hi looks great, whats the weight of your set up? How you will compare with sb150 or stumpy evo? Are bikes in my radar for enduro with a bit of everything, from flow to chunky, some pedalling routes, some big descends.. Thanks

@dialedmtb

2 жыл бұрын

So sadly I have never rode the Stumpy Evo.. but I have heard its great. I do have a regular 2022 Stumpy Pro though and its a good bike, but not what you would want. But if you are doing some gnarly riding or racing enduro's the SB150 is not a bad do everything bike. It climbs amazing for what it is and descends great also. The 130 is probably one of the best Trail/All Mtn bikes out right now. I would race an enduro on it no problem, but if I was doing more then a couple per year I would probably want the 150. Hope that helps!

@@dialedmtb Hey man .Just stumbled upon your channel and your content is sweet because u ride all the bikes I'm actually into.. I have question.. I currently have a 2019 sb130 but I'm really eyeing up the new Bronson in gloss moss.. Even tho I'm on a 3 year old sb130 , would you say Id be taking a step back by going for the Bronson?? I really like climbing but I want a bit more of a poppy jibby ride on the way down . Would u say I'm giving up a ton to the Bronson if I go that route? Is it really going to be way worse of a climber ? Look forward to hearing back..Awesome channel.

The float x is a lively shock on the 130. Not very fast worthly but def fun. When ya get tired of it, put on a 210x55 coil on it. Whole other world of awesomeness

I live in the Boise area looking at buying my first real mountain bike. It's between this and the sb115, if you could only have 1 what would you go with for Idaho trails?

@dialedmtb

2 жыл бұрын

Hey! I would for sure go with the SB130 over the 115. the 115 is good, but in the summer here Bogus is a blast and the 130 will be great there while the 115 wouldn’t be ideal. Then for everyday rides the 130 is still a great bike.

I found a really good deal on a 2022 SB130 frame set with float X shock but i'm wondering is it still interesting/relevant in 2023 to buy this bike now that the SB140 is there ? d'love to have your thaughts

@dialedmtb

6 ай бұрын

The SB130 is still an amazing bike.. but if you are not an aggressive rider the SB140 will be a lot more comfortable to you and worth the extra money. If you are more on the aggressive side both work great, but the SB140 is just a little more compliant and comfortable for most I would say.

Sb130lr vs bronson mx. How do they compare climbing and descending. Debating between the two and I assume the bronson descends better but is the yeti far behind?

@dialedmtb

2 жыл бұрын

There is no match between the two climbing. The yeti is way faster and more efficient! the decent isn’t crazy better on the Bronson. It is a little smoother but if you’re an aggressive rider the yeti will actually be more comfortable most likely, where if you are a more relaxed rider then the Bronson will be more comfortable on the descent. I am thinking there might be a new designed 130 and also something to think about is the Hightower. That should be updated this year as well. (both in the later summer to fall time frame)

I would have thought the switch infinity on the sb130 would make it a better climber than the Tallboy? Especially since you said this bike was 10/10 in climbing and that you can’t get any better. You sure the Tallboy climbs better? I’m not impressed with climbing on the Tallboy.
