You're doing an amazing job ignore the criticism bro. Some of these trolls have nothing else to do but be critical. You're doing a great job thank you for the information always informative regular subscriber

Got this last August. Absolutely love it. Only issue I had initially was that the front thru axle kept getting lose. But my bike dealer fixed it. Favorite part is that I can go anywhere on any surface and feel comfortable. Max day was 135km and not even a little sore from sitting

Perfect thorough review

Nice to see more gravel hybrid reviews. Wished more manufacturers would provide hybrid options for their carbon gravel frames where half the bikes on 2022 Tour Divide were equipped with carbon frames. IMO grip shifters are also much comfortable while providing more stability for fast rides on the trails.

“The first sexy hybrid bike” it is my personal opinion that rigid hybrid bikes have always been beautiful. There’s just something about them that speaks to me, and my own 3 year old bike is the most beautiful bike I’ve ever seen

It probably was a stretch to say it was the First Sexy Hybrid. I think in our shop, this was the thought (first time I've heard almost unanimous interest in a hybrid to own personally from staff) and the amount of phone calls specifically for this bike and the excitement from those customers really made the DSX feel like it was creating excitement that we hadn't seen from a rigid hybrid before.

Got this beauty as an xmas gift from my gf......Love everything about it so far. Great review and very informative. Like your upgrade ideas, too. Nothing wrong with your voice. Keep up the great work! Thanks from Boston, ma

Thanks so much Matt. That means a lot. These videos started after we kept hearing from customers that we seemed (as a shop) to understand the bikes more deeply than many other shops and were happy to discuss details - I figured video was a way to help more people to get that insight. Sadly, in this business, the "sales gurus" advise shops not to go into more than surface level information because we'll overwhelm customers... but when I shop I love learning the additional information about anything technical so just trying to operate in a way that I'd appreciate.

solid information

I have this bike (2022 - same bike) in Small. Great bike. Racked up 2500km on it so far in 11 months (this is on top of my kms covered on my HCHT). Out of the box, the bike is just fine.. however... some improvements I've made - better grips, RT86 ICE Rotors, American Classic Kimberlites 40c, converted to tubeless (yes, it works but difficult to seat the tyre), Ergon Saddle and a new rear wheel (30i - what a difference it made for a compliant ride) (after 2000km the spoke snapped so in the bin it went - its a horrible hub anyway). With simple things like this - it became my beast for Road\Gravel\Single Track. The Geo on the frame is bang on!

I like it

Like to see a similar review of new DSX3. Currently considering Headlands/Gestalt 2 or sticking with flat bar DSX range. Also 6'1 so assuming XL in both.

Are the wheels tubeless compatible? Will they need tape or does it come with it?

Great bike, for those willing and able to spend that much.

I'm watching this video because I just ordered this exact bike as my commuter. Since my MTB got nicked two yrs ago, I haven't really been excited about any bike anymore. But this thing woke me up. Should be an interesting new experience! Thanks for this in depth review.

I don’t find your voice that boring but more informative 😂. How would you compare this bike to the Giant Roam 2 with a 1X thanks

@BikeBrosBikeShop

Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching. We don't get the 1x version in Canada. Looking at its specs it looks more similar in quality to the DSX base model ( similar speed and gear range). Between those bikes it would really come down to whether the suspension fork is a pro or con for you. Beyond that, body positioning and the way the bikes handle will differ a bit. I will admit that I personally prefer the feel of the DSX but that is very subjective.

@BikeBrosBikeShop

8 ай бұрын

Never looked at the Trek FX before. Treks website is terrible. I wanted to find geometry to confirm my suspicions but can't. From the pictures, the Trek has a steeper head angle, long stem and longer chainstays (more road bike inspired): the DSX should be a bit more playful yet capable with the more mtb inspired design. Very different value stories too.

@andristucs6044

Currently I am trying to choose between DSX1 and Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5. Do you have any initial thoughts if there is a significant difference between these two. The obvious is that trek has 650 wheels instead of DSX 700. That would mean more comfort I guess because of slightly fatter rubber. Is there anything that you would point to consider when choosing between these two bikes? I am looking for a recreational bike. Riding in town, forest trails, gravel. Not competitive riding. Comfort is quite important because I have some issues with lower back. But I really like simple and light bikes and I want a rigid fork.@@BikeBrosBikeShop

I'd suggest revisiting the shop. The brakes can be a challenge to set up ( very little space between pads and rotor). I'm not sure what your drivetrain concerns are. As far as fit, 5'11 seems like a large would fit. What was your previous bike? Maybe muscle memory from a stretched out previous fit. A solution could be a bit longer stem?
