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).

DUDES in motorcycle culture there's a saying: "it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow." Maybe that kind of applies here? I have a carbon hardtail now and I love that you've gotta put in a bit more effort to get along. Kinda like stick shift vs. automatic in a car!

its not fun when you are trying to ride fast on a tech trail.
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 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!

It's so hard to describe, but it just turns the fun factor up to 11 to rip your favorite trails on a HT. Hopefully this bike makes a stop in Colorado so I can duke it out with them on the Chromag.

Love these vids bro! Keep up the CIKU videos
I'm just getting into mountain biking and by god you guys are fast af lol i love these videos. So cool to watch you guys fly down the mountain!
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.....

HORSE FACE, HORSE FACE, HORSE FACE... LOL
Man you are cooking down those trails! Looks like some epic flow!
This was super fun to watch.
A HT should be everyone's first bike. It teaches you how to choose lines and bunny hop easier. IMO when someone buys a full sus straight out it's because they had too much disposable income.
Just watching this makes me feel like I'm gonna hit a tree
I thought you were gonna get your ass handed to you on a plate, but props to you for slaying the trail and putting the hardtail to work. Awesome vid.
Im just getting into MTB, crossing over from BMX, and my first time watching this channel. lol very exciting to watch. Just bought my first MT bike this week, a Diamondback Hook. Excited to start riding like this
