Awesome. I love seeing hardtails on technical terrain

Fantastic video! As a diehard hardtail rider I agree on all these points…especially the pedals. If you want to maximize speed clipping in is a good call!

6000 series aluminum is (in simple terms) softer than 7000. It will be more likely to bend before it breaks. This is good for most people who aren't racing in competitions. It won't leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. The 7000 series is stronger (will take more energy to deform it) but it will crack easier. Personally I'd rather ride back on a tweaked frame than walk back, carrying a broken frame.

Im mostly on much more flowy trails, not that hard technically … But as you said, clip pedals are much more comfy to me on a hardtail…feet’s aren’t jumping around that much. My personal sweetspot on fork travel is also between 120-140mm (actually 130mm on a tailor made titanium frame).

You rock man!

Fast engagement hub!

LOL I just found your channel..im 52 and ride a hardtail-mostly urban downhill (stairs) I can almost justify a real downhill bike the next day and days after. LOL #tigerbalm

It has been my experience that as trails get more technical and jumps and drops get bigger, hardtails aren’t as much fun. They are more enjoyable on easier XC trails-not trails like these: www.singletrackskills.bike/lon-s-vid/

7005,7075 (used in Aviation) have more tensile strength than 6061

Thanks

I’m looking at the banshee paradox and I’m wondering how tall are you and which size bike did you go with?

I’m 5’11” and the size large works great

Test out the medium as well, I`m 5'11" and the medium is perfect for me.

Your audio sucks 😐
