Hello and welcome to the Pink Bike podcast, Vodcast.

If you want the full experience, you could be watching this on YouTube and just drinking

it all in on all the senses.

We have a smell of vision coming soon.

Yeah, totally.

So we're in Whistler, rounding out the 2024 field test.

And this is the sort of unabridged version, the roundtable where we kind of are going to rank these bikes on the likelihood that we would recommend them, importantly, recommend them to someone that we like,

that we want to see happy and enjoying their mountain biking.

Kaz has been a big week.

We've spoken about in kind of various conversations.

It's been an interesting mix of bikes.

There have been some real outliers by brands that people might not have been heard of, something like spot. But then on the other side, we've got some real bread and

butter bikes, your specialised and your Santa Cruz is coming up, trumps in that regard.

How has this field test been for you?

Been interesting. Yeah. Kind of we mentioned earlier that a lot of these bikes seem similar

on paper and then getting to ride them, they're a lot more different than I thought.

Kind of interesting to see even just the, you know, they're 140 bikes, 150 bikes, but there's a huge range of how they actually feel on the trail.

So it's been good.

They weren't, I was a little worried.

It might be kind of boring, like that the bikes and I'm like, God,

they're waiting.

Yeah, you couldn't do this.
