YT Capra Uncaged 6 Unboxing vid! 2023 is a fresh start to put some of the best bikes in the world to the test. The Uncaged 6 is fully loaded with what should be THE BEST components in the world: Carbon chassis, Rockshox with Flight Attendant, AXS, Synthesis carbon wheels and more! These reviews and all of my work is 100% crowdfunded by the MTB public via my competitions. The only products I offer to win have passed the AstonMTB test and I really believe are the best options on the market. Check out my current competitions here: https://astonmtb.com/ About me: lifelong MTB rider and racer. Bad World Cup downhiller and slightly better at EWS racing. Qualified MTB coach and guide. 5 years as the European Technical Editor for Pinkbike, followed by some years of testing and prototyping for brands within the industry. Now I've thrown everything into this project to create the best independent bike reviews in the world. These products are bought at full retail price, and the reviews are funded 100% by competition ticket sales and donations. Buying a ticket not only gives you a chance to win cool bike stuff but also to support more and more independent reviews. This is a community effort, you can support these reviews, or get your information elsewhere which is always funded directly by the brands or through their advertising budgets... Thanks to everyone for the support so far! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUP_bu-dtSA

Commencal Public Safety Announcement Should Supreme DH frames be recalled? Please watch the video in full and let me know in the comments below. 1: To be clear from the start: I have no problems with Commencal. I’ve bought two of these bikes myself in the last year and have said since 2019 I believe these are the best-performing DH bikes on the market 2: Both of my Supreme frames are cracked. The black/white 2021 is being replaced under warranty - Commencal agreed to replace it within half a working day over ¾ emails - fantastic customer service. The silver 2019 model has cracks in three areas 3: I’ve made a few posts about these cracks and received over 25x messages from other people with problems, some people were unaware and only found the cracks due to my posts. I have a tiny following/reach so I believe there could be many more out there? 4: I contacted Commencal for a response on 15/6/22 at 11:25. I waited until 17:00CET today on 17/5/22 before publishing: over 50 hours. Bike park season is kicking off and people all over the world could be riding dangerous frames this weekend. I feel the responsibility and duty to inform as many people as possible over waiting until next week for a response 5: Thanks to all my supporters on this journey to create the most independent and open bike reviews online without the need for bicycle industry finance to run the channel. Without this, this may never have happened 6: I really do not take any pride or joy in being negative about any bikes or products on my channel. I would be much happier and financially better off if we never had any problems and had positive riding experiences and could create happy fun content for you to enjoy. Please share with everybody you know who has one of these bikes. I’m not here to cause problems for Commencal or anybody that works there. I simply want riders to be safe. Video created by @bendonoghuephoto ------------ While you are here please check out my latest comps which fund this whole channel at https://astonmtb.com/ Yes! I am aware I am giving away one of these Supreme frames that may have a common issue in a paid-for competition. I'm not 100% sure what to do with this now, though, I think it is best to continue with the comp as it is still a sick bike with amazing components and will have a brand new frame for the lucky winner. If anybody wants a refund on tickets please get in touch and I will refund you ASAP. https://astonmtb.com/ These products are bought at full retail price, and the reviews are funded 100% by competition ticket sales and donations.
