It's about darn time that I got out on this beauty of a bike, and I figured who better to do it with than the master of hard tails himself - SBH!
To make things interesting and really push the limits of a hardtail, instead of going on a regular trail ride, we decided to spice things up a bit with a friendly game of CIKU (Can I Keep Up).

    I think it's pretty straight forward to determine...... if your trails require a lot of pedaling, hard tails will do better. If your trails are mostly speed trails with little to no pedaling, go with full suspension. If your trails are mostly smooth and featureless, go with a hardtail. If your trails are full of rocks, roots and rough, go with a full suspension.

I'm betting if mine was at least 120mm and 27.5 I would feel more at home and have as much fun as I have on my FS

    I’m currently riding a way to big xc bike with 29 inch tyres. I actually rode some parts of a selfbuild mx park with it and it I felt way to comfortable XD I’m ridden on a stereo 150 with 27.5 tyres, it feels nice especially for jumping but my hardtail is way to fun though. I wouldn’t ride big jumps on a hardtail (maybe not even on a full sus cause I can’t jump) but I like riding stairs and some big gravel section on it and If I had the money I’d buy a ghost asket or the syncr #hardtails4ever

    Was going to write the same! I started around May this year with a cheap supermarket MTB, used. I always rode such bikes and to me they were good enough. This bike lasted a week, I sold it for buying a acid green Diamondback sync 2.0 which I didn't even know the use of it. I saw that it looked great with good brakes. I thought it was ok. Plus, I loved it green. I met some people and together we went for a improvised trail nearby Wien, Austria. I loved it and I was damn scared of going fast! Few months ago I subscribed Seth's channel and some weeks after to your as well, Alex. You guys gave me so much knowledge and fun with your videos that everyday, when I reach the end of the day and leave the office, I go home take the bike and ride. Not many trails here so I just ride it in the city and bicycle path, but I ride it and I feel great!

    I ride a hard tail because that's what I have. I'd love to buy a sick $4,000 fully but it's not a reality for me to spend that kind of money on a bicycle. Not that I'm poor or anything but I just can't justify it. One day I'll upgrade to a $2k range fully but probably not for a few more years. I have tons of fun on my $700 Kona Fire Mountain with the few upgrades that I've done so far. Keep shredding guys 👍

I also gotta say I've been watching you for a while now Alex and your skills have improved massively so kudos to you man. I'd like to see a round 2 of this but get some Minions on Seth's bike too.

    I mostly only ride my hard tail. Super fast and smooth. If something is gonna be really rough I try I to pop up and over it and land on the other side of the rough part. One thing I wish my hardtail had is a bash guard. I do hit trees and rocks sometimes on bunny hops gone wrong.

    I think that Alex has upped his biking skill set. I also think you two are going a whole lot faster than you realize. I'd like to see an older video side by side speed comparison. The fact is that Seth is just fast even when he's having a bad day.... Now, hard tails should be in ones stable, even an all mountain type in my humble opinion. It forces one to learn to take not so sketchy lines and handle the jank even better by being gravity conscious on bike positioning. So, when you do go full squish, you're even smoother. So, here's the challenge, can you ride the BLACK DIAMONDS on a hard tail and get down just as fast as you would on a full squish? I know you guys like challenges.....
