@splooshmtb Curious to hear your thoughts on this being a mullet vs 29er. I test rode 22 and 23 models and found 22 was better due to the 29 wheels.

@nhc002 I've been riding the bike a lot now so I can confidently say I really enjoy the mullet. On fast flow or chunk I don't notice that back wheel at all, when going slow over rocks and roots I can notice the back wheel doesn't roll over as much, easily. That being said, jumping a mullet feels so freaking good!

Just looked up the sale price.. almost 50% off.. pretty solid deal. Paint is cool and I really like the multiple colored/rainbow cassette and chain.

Exactly! The industry sales right now are beautiful. Trust me, I couldn't normally afford a dentist bike😂

That opening dentist bit was brilliant and hilarious! As for the bike, you're going to absolutely shred! Curious how much you change the geo. I set it once and haven't changed it yet. Haven't hit a big park yet though either! Awesome bike and video. Looking forward to more. Enjoy!!

So far it already shreds dude! Loving it. So far everything else is neutral except the HTA- which is now at the -1 (63.5°) setting. I love a slack front end with a snappy back end

Nailed the dentist energy in the intro! As a fellow tall rider, how are you getting along with the 170mm dropper? I love AXS but have a *lot* of post showing and feel like I have to optimize between pedaling or descending efficiency.

Hah thanks dude! Funny you ask that, i just came off a 240mm on my Hightower! I'm 6'3 and all legs haha. But since this is such a big bike the 170 feels great and I really don't have much post out at all.

Hell yeah, good stuff. I love my STEVO. It really is a do it all bike, also my only mountain bike. Not the fastest climber but I’m just here to have fun at the top haha.

LOOOL not even close but these sales make me feel like one😂 thanks homie!

Thanks for this video. Im sitting here thinking I want to sell mine. Its a 22 stumpy expert but I went to xo transmission, carbon handlebars and roval control wheels for pedaling days. Its still a lot of bike for me outside of Philly so I keep looking at the epics or maybe the regular stumpy. Keep in mind I have less than 30 miles on this bike.....lol. Seeing this model on sale is making me think about putting mine back to stock and selling while now having 2 sets of wheels, on transmission. Problem is my stumpy has been for sale the last few most and nothing! If anything, this video is telling me I do not need to upgrade my bike even though I want something with less travel. We shall see!

Best of luck with selling, the market is not in your favor for selling right now, unfortunately. Took me about a month to sell my Hightower, and had to drop the price more than expected but, such is the times when new bikes are heavily discounted.

@@splooshmtb how are you liking this one as your only bike? There’s one in my area and if I get what I want for mine, I could see myself getting the Sworks one. I’d see if my Delaware store can get one because of taxes lol. Did you say s6?! How tall are you? I’m on s5.

@kentao4 so far I'm loving it, I'm 6'3 and my previous bike was downsized (large Hightower) while this bike is slightly upsized. The s5's were fully sold out on their site, unfortunately, but this one really feels like it fits me well! It crushed the first park day and a lot of local trail rips so no complaints so far, except that it's too nice and I'm scared to push it hard still 😂
