Hi :) I had the same brakes (the same bike). Brakes were not strong enough for me for fast downhill descents. I mean there were enough force, but Ifaced hand fatigue after some time. Replacing levers with hig-end model to have servo wave was enough.

Got a Fuel EX 7 Gen 6 used for $1800 and a pair of Fox 36 Performance for $340 on Pinkbike. Added another $100 for RaceFace Turbine handlebar and stems. Last upgrade might be a Fox Float X at $230 from pinkbike as well.

I changed the setting to powered mic+, In rode central app, I selected the gain as strong and merged audio. So I just want to know when I record my motorcycle ride using the gopro with the setup you mentioned in video, the footage of gopro will have audio captured by the rode wireless audio or there will be two separate audio files which I need to choose in post edit?

My xc race bike) and never anything more than that because I live in the land of cheese (WI) and we have like half a "mountain" here.

If your intention it's to ride really fast at rough trails, the enduro bike WILL shine over the Trail Bike.

they are probably amazing its a shame they are so expensive i would love to try them
@@worthlessfajita8816 I hear ya! The wheels have lifetime warranty and crash replacement so you can keep them for a long time and swap them from bike to bike as long as they all have the same boost spacing etc.
@@JaredHoff the crash replacement might be what convinces me to get a pair I have been a little iffy about carbon from fear of breaking it in the first crash
In my country we consider rockbros products high quality bikes products so good luck with your fancy and expensive products, just enjoy cycling 😂
@@hjromero6426 it’s definitely all about having fun and riding. I’m just one guy who did this one test and tried to give my honest opinion.
Its nice to hear someone admit the heavy bias involved in judging bikes! Its ok as long as were honest about it mostly with ourselves! This applies to all facets of life! Thanks for the video! Polygon do seem to be a good mid budget option!
@@Whoadayson thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it 👍
Ari is actually a slang word for Anus here. Nice now I need to have myself a bike-anus
