The Loam Wolf MTB Reviews & Features

#loamwolf #mountainbike This skill will not only help you stay safe and drop better, but it will be a vital practice in learning how to control your bike and shift body weight to take your riding to the next level. Thanks to @FezzariBicycles for helping us make this Back to Basics series possible. The Delano Peak is an awesome all around trail shredder and why we chose it for this demonstration.

We recently reviewed the Zerode Katipo, an enduro mountain bike with a Pinion C1.12 gearbox and Carbon Drive belt drive instead of a derailleur, cassette and chain. This was a very interesting test. Head to our channel to check out the full review and learn how we got on with it.

#loamwolf #mtb #zerodekatipo The Zerode Katipo is an enduro mountain bike without a derailleur or chain. Instead a Pinion Gearbox and Gates Carbon Drive belt drive provide the power - how do they perform, and should you ditch your current gearing setup? We tested this bike over a couple of months, resulting in one cracked frame but a lot of positive impressions, which we'll talk about in this video. Zerode has always done it differently. From when founder Rob Metz first put their name on the map over in New Zealand back in 2011, the bikes with a Zerode sticker have been absent of a standard derailleur, favoring the improved suspension performance and weight distribution offered by gearbox units instead. After a couple of iterations of their downhill bike, Zerode wanted to spread the benefits of a gearbox to a wider audience, and so their Pinion gearbox-equipped Taniwha was born. As things moved fast and riders sought larger wheels and increased stability, Zerode developed their next offering that built on the successes of the Taniwha, the Katipo. With a pair of 29” wheels, a choice between “large” or “larger” sizes, and of course a Pinion drivetrain, the Katipo promises exceptional suspension performance, but does it deliver on those promises? I’ve been putting one to the test in the Tweed Valley to find out, and it’s been rather enjoyable, but not perfect.

Fresh tracks and steep slash turns are the best! #mountainbike #mountainbiking #emtb #loamwolf #shorts #ridemtb

#mountainbike #loamwolf One of our favorite trails in the Cascades, King's Castle is located in Blue River / McKenzie Bridge area of Oregon and is an absolute treat to ride. In this video we take a Pivot Shadowcat Team XTR (check out our long term review on the channel) down this fast and flowy downhill with some amazing scenery, huge trees, ripping corners and more. This trail is well worth a visit if you're in the area.

This hillside is a whole lot steeper than it looks! As much as we wanted to enjoy the views and flowers, we had to focus on not striking a pedal or veering off the side. #mountainbike #mountainbiking #emtb #loamwolf

Ask and ye shall receive. After numerous comments from people who seem to think we're getting paid by the bike industry cabal to peddle ridiculously expensive bikes, which are not any better than "cheap" bikes, we decided to take the challenge and see how this Cyrusher Ranger would perform.... Long term review coming soon. #mountainbike #mountainbiking #emtb #loamwolf

#scottmtb #loamwolf #mtb The Scott Genius ST is one of the most unique looking bikes on the market, but does its performance match its looks? We put the new Scott Genius to the test over a few month period, to figure out how well it performs and how to set it up the best, and now we're ready to share how we got on and some tips and tricks to get the most out of it in this video. THE LAB The Scott Genius has been the quintessential all mountain bike for quite some time now, sitting in that zone that unites the pedal-friendly trail bikes and rugged enduro bikes. With some spec and setup customization, Scott has always let the user choose what they want their Genius to be. The new Genius and Genius ST have followed suit, with Scott even going so far as to prepare each flavor of Genius – trail or light enduro – for the consumer, with the addition of the ST (super trail) models. Frame | Regardless of the Scott Genius model you choose, you’ll receive a 150mm travel frame paired to a 160mm fork, and two 29” wheels. The frame is shared between the two versions, with Scott’s Integrated Suspension Technology (IST) that has the shock fully concealed within the frame. Though it may be hard to envisage what is happening as the bike is compressed, the suspension system is the common Horst Link design, with an internal rocker connected to the external upper link with a splined system, which drives the shock inside. Scott is not afraid to admit that a key benefit of their IST is its unique look, but it also carries performance benefits in the name of the protection of the shock from the elements; a lower center of gravity, and increased stiffness around the shock and bottom bracket. Shock access is made easy thanks to smart positioning of the adjustment dials, and a quick release hatch on the downtube.

#zion #loamwolf #mtb Have you packed up and traveled to an exciting new place to ride your eMTB only to arrive and find out the trails don’t allow eBikes? Thanks to support from some amazing brands, we’re setting out on a multi-stop tour to share eMTB-friendly destinations and trails to ride. The fourth and final episode of this year’s series took us to a brand-new riding spot that we are certain is set to be a hit for both eMTB and mountain bike riders alike. Located on the eastern edge of Zion National Park in Southwestern Utah, Zion Mountain Ranch (ZMR) offers a ride experience unlike anything you expect in southern Utah. Tyler McCaul has helped work with on-site trail builders to offer insight on the development of this area’s mountain biking, and it’s safe to say he delivered on his promises of how awesome the trails and vibe at Zion Mountain Ranch are. In this episode of our eMTB Destinations Tour we’ll let you know all there is to know about this up-and-coming mountain bike hot spot and what you can expect to find when you pay a visit. Check out the full write-up here: https://theloamwolf.com/2023/07/02/ebike-destinations-tour-zion-mountain-ranch/ For 2023 we were lucky enough to hook up with some amazing partners to keep the gas tank full, burritos in our bellies and the camera guy paid. Without their support, these types of projects wouldn’t be possible, so we’d like to extend a huge thank you to Pivot Cycles, Endura Clothing, ABUS helmets and bike locks and Maxxis Tires.
