My full thoughts on the Why S7 Titanium Hardtail

we are demoing the ys7 the supple seven

my buddy's got one of these and I think it's one of the most beautiful bikes on the planet they're titanium work is amazing look at that it's all flat right there they've got extra bosses on it for bike packing it's got rack mounts which I love but it's also just meant for ripping around on trails let's go check it out and see how it feels so I've written one of these before my buddy Karl has one but this is a little big boy they know how to set these up this has a nine wheels right now with great engagement oh this is a light feeling bike this bike is quick it's light snappy super balanced

go stiffer than the ioniq I wrote earlier so fairly supple fun like really well-balanced

so to make this fight perfect I'd shorten the chain stayin slack in the heading Creed on this trail a lot of companies are scared to go super slack on the head angle for some reason you gotta give a plug to the companies that aren't afraid like cro-magnon RSD breathe and all those UK guys how come the UK gets such cool Iron Tail builders and we play it so safe in the US

still this bike is very balanced it's got that traditional 67 1/2 degree that angle feel this bike is very quick to accelerate

it corners extremely well it leans well and it corners well with the bar so regardless of how you corner just both pretty well this feels a lot like the ioniq put a little bit lighter I like the wider bars on this that's subtle the ioniq is smoother this spike is not quite as supple as the ionic

but it's quick awesome fight backing bike I love titanium because it's light it's easy to touch up why has the most beautiful titanium frame on the market esthetics wise you scrub it with a scotch brite pad and it takes any Mars off doesn't rust it's a cool material it's not cheap it's a great hardtail

it's a great match for these light two-point-eight tires this bike really picks up speed on the flats here we go it was a fun flowy section I like how high the bars are

they feel like bottom bracket height is great I think that's why a corner so well it's great on these trails loose travels one of the worst places to ride but hooking up great really well-balanced and they feel great I've always liked I nice wheels I guess these are like a 35

so room to move around on this bike yeah just thread that needle this sells built for a hardtail

the harder you ride this the softer the rear end becomes it's a lot more supple at speed that's pretty cool thank you

wow this bike is a treat let's rate it climbing let me give it a 10 out of 10

sup man crashing dad Shane hey it's a crashing dad good how you doing hey all right where were we let's rate this thing cornering I'm gonna give this a nine point nine playfulness eight point five downhill charging eight point five and then what's left I think that's it good balance bike it's a lot of fun I love the higher bar position and finally we got to see how a wheelies

yeah it's about 1/8 I'm a wheelie scale a little bit long chain stick thanks for watching that concludes our review I want to know what bike you want to see reviewed next one way you could really help me out is email some of those companies let them know that hardtail party exists and say hey hard chill party does good reviews he should review one of your bikes get in touch with him that's a great way my channel so small they don't know who I am and so if you can put in a good word for me that goes a long way and helps me get more products in front of you that we can review thanks for watching there's a party in the mountains and you're always invited
