    I bought a Priority 600 all road basically sight unseen ordered to Canada based on RVD's recommendations. I LOVE the bike, it's taken over for my commuting to work leaving my car in the garage! Awesome bike, and I pay a premium to get it here in Canada! The only thing is the lights are outdated, nobody used micro USB anymore and the lights are underpowered. Future proof this bike and get rid of the dynamo hub and underpowered lights. Also the fenders don't work with the newer 50mm Goodyear Country tires, no clearance what so ever. So that's probably a $300 premium I paid for two items I took off and don't use. Such is life and the rest of the bike is bombproof!

    Fantastic! BTW, I have a simple frame suggestion that may (or may not) be good -- braze-ons on the sides of the head tube, and a front platform/porteur rack that mounts to them. This way, the rack and its contents are suspended, allowing the fork to react to bumps better. Luggage weight is better distributed, steering is unaffected even with half-full bottles up front sloshing around, head-wind performance is improved, and there is one less thing cluttering access to the front wheel. It doesn't have to carry a ton, so it can be low-profile to clear cabling. Moulton bicycles have this (it's easy to do with small wheels), and they carry loads very well as a result.

    Hey Duzer, thanks for that demo, the 600x, a totally nice machine, no question. I have the Brilliant, a 3 speed, at 89 years it serves me well. My wife, 5'4", is very challenged riding with me. She's a good rider, but stopping and dismounting is problematic, she does OK, but I am concerned every time we go into that maneuver. I need to contact Priority and see if there's anything that would work for her. We enjoy our rides together, but just thinking about an injury takes the edge off an otherwise very enjoyable ride.

I've been a Trek fan for years and have several Treks, but they don't have a good offroad/trekking bike that i like as much as the 600x. After seeing your various attempts at Baja, on various bikes, then the Colorado trail, i'm confident the 600x is strong enough for me. BTW, if you happen to influence your friends at Green Guru to make a bolt on 3" wide frame bag like you have for sale to us normal folks, this excited cyclist sure wouldn't mind.

    Definitely considering getting one of these. I've been waiting for Jones Bikes to get some framesets in stock, and was planning to build a Jones LWB, perhaps with a Rohloff. I've been fascinated by the Pinion since it came out (big IGH fan for years), and to see real world reviews on the system has helped convince me that it is the best thing going. My current bike (built up as a placekeeper for the Jones) is a Vassago Mooseknuckle Ti with full XTR 12 and Paul Klamper brakes on XTR rotors, and Jones carbon H-bar. I'm running it fully rigid with an ENVE fatbike fork, and I built up the wheelset with the Jones Carbon rims on DT Swiss 350 hubs (150mm fat front hub) and 3" tires front & back . It is an awesome bike, but the 600x ust hits so many of my buttons. The convincer for me will be how the 600x handles unloaded, say, for fast singletrack riding (like a regular MTB). I plan to get into some overnight bikepacking to get started, but long to do some longer multiday adventures. Thanks for your wonderful videos and for helping to bring a bike like the 600x to the world. Well done.

    I like that you use the phrase Always Works to describe the Pinion gearbox. I ride a 1961 Raleigh Sports, with the original Sturmey Archer AW 3-speed rear hub. Among English 3-speed-ophiles, the AW hub of course stands for Always Works. And after 61 years, mine is going strong. (I am not the original owner; the bike is a few years older than I am.)

    Ryan, I am 68 I quite smoking 1 year ago and 6 months later decided to try and get in shape to do some through Hikes, and then some Bikepacking. It is my goal this year to Hike the do a sprint triathlon, and thru hike the Colorado Trail. It has been and is a real challange to go from being a 40 year desk jockey smoker to a fit biker and hiker. At my age gaining muscle and strength is a process that takes a bit of time. OK That said I wish to ride the Great Divide Tout, but before that maybe the Route 66 route on a Trek 520. I have looked at a number of good quality bikes for the Great Divide Tour like Trek Checkpont, Salsa Cutthroat, Bianchi Impulso, but after Watching your videos and reviews and communicating with Priority, you are right, that is a well designed bike that for me would check all the boxes. I hope i can get to the physical fitness level to accomplish my goals. My Cardio is improving but strength seems a bit elusive. Keep up the great information and videos and I hope your new friend works out well. By the way I am about 100 miles south of you maybe some day we will meet, and i will take all the advice you can offer.

    My only complaint with the 600X is that it is not sold with the option of adding local trails and terrain as an add-on package (joke alert). As a result I have gone to a more urban mix down here in Houston, Texas with slick Maxxis Hookworm tires. I put in Tannus Armour Bike tire liners with additional Tuffy liners at the tube because I hate flats/thorns/staples/nails out on the trail/road. I keep the wheels at 50-55 psi and find that keeps the rolling drag real low and also the double liner configuration means I almost never have to pressure up between rides. You do have to be cautious with the slicks on trails but it is worth it because of the effortless ride. The bike is totally solid and silent. I noticed a slight creak the other day and isolated it to torqueing the crank arm fasteners a bit more, should probably put some blue Loctite on those fasteners with all the high cyclical/twisting loads at the crank. I have added a riser stem and a high-quality seat post articulated shock. This bike will outlive me, have to list it in the will...

Just curious if you've considered making a Vid that talks through the Pros/Cons of such a decision for some of us out here still on the 30-year old 8000 :)...Again - Thanx for all the AWESOME footage that most folks don't get to see...

    Ryan, now that the 600HXT is coming out it would be interesting to get your take on how they compare for bikepacking purposes. I'm reacting to the specs I'm reading on the Priority site. The dropper post and wider tires of the 600HXT seem to be similar mods you made to your 600X(?) The 600HXT also has the electronic shifting and slacker head tube.

    Looks like an amazing bike! I have several touring bikes. Trek 520, Raleigh Alyeska, GT Peace 9R (broke my 520 Reynolds frame..eek) and my 2017 Surly Ogre. Bike fit is my major concern. My Ogre is a Medium. GT is a small. Alyeska is a 52cm. 520 is a 54cm ( a little big). My daily commuter is a Trek DS2 large frame. Medium was too bunched up. I've rebuilt my DS2 once already and just about to rebuild it again. Components are middle ground and seem to wear out in a couple thousand miles. So again size matters. I'm 5'7" and I'm thinking a small by the sizing chart???

I could probably be ok on a small but the seat would probably have to be over extended to work well. I have many miles on this in almost 2 years. No regrets.

    Hi everyone. After more than one year and 2000+km . Here is my feed back. The geometry is not the best but still good enough to enjoy the ride. Brake should be upgraded if you like riding without headache. Rear hub is another weak point if you're planning to go for long have spare parts with you or upgrade it. The belt is very sensitive to heavy mud (whatch the video that Duzer broke his belt) so do bike walkig in mud if you do want to bike walk the rest of the route. All the bottle provisions are good only on large size if you getting other sizes especially small you will have problems with fitting the bottle holders. My up upgrades: Break to Shimano Rear wheel set to Shimano Handle bar to jones
