Amazing to see how much the single crown forks flex compared to the triple clamp forks. I wish more companies would make smaller lighter triple clamp forks for enduro and trail riding.

New drinking game. Take a shot every time you hear a rim ping.

Thank god he didn’t do it on a rampage drop.

Those kids shred! Some expensive bikes, they must have got really good jobs at a young age.

That S-Works frame weighs less than my rear tire

I have also had the flow mk3 rims crack around the nipple holes on two sets of these rims in a short period of time. Happened to my friend as well. Got the new DT swiss EX 511 which I have been very happy with.

I preferred stans rims before they introduced the mk3 line. I like the width of the new rims but that is about it. The new rims are junk in my opinion. I have gone through 2 sets in 4 months. They are prone to flat spots and dents and I run 26psi front and 30 psi rear. The nipples actually pull through the rim as well. I get all my wheels built professionally by a guy that has been building wheels for 15 years and these rims have given me nothing but issues. I would not recommend these rims to anyone that rides hard in rocky terrain.

Hi have owned both. The Mach 6 is a nice bike but I feel the Bronson is better. The rear triangle on the Mach 6 is a noodle. You can actually see the rear triangle twist when you hold the rear brake and stand on the pedals. The new boost frame is very similar. The Bronson rear triangle is solid and doesn't move. You can feel the rigidity between the two on hard turns. The Mach 6 is twitchier. This helps with tight switch backs but the Bronson excels on broader turns and is more stable on rock gardens. I feel the Bronson is built better. I like the threaded BB over the press fit and I have had to warranty the Mach 6 frame twice in a year and a half from cracks on the lower pivot joints on the carbon front and rear triangles. Hopefully they fixed that with the new boost frame. The Mach 6 feels more plush than the 2017 Bronson with the rock shox shock. Switching the Bronson shock to a float X2 puts it on par with the Mach 6. The Bronson climbs better. Mach 6 with its slack seat tube angle puts your weight far over the rear wheel when your post is up that causes the front wheel to feel light and wander. If you are looking at a Mach 6, I would suggest getting a size larger because the reach of the frame is very short compared to other bikes. Hope this is helpful if you are looking at buying one of these bikes.

Look a lot like stealth hubs.
