When you refer to "America" are you referring to North and South America or just the US. America is a continent.

I just got my T 130 carbon works, took it out now 3 times, and oh boy that is so easy, nimble and playful. I was torn between this and a camber. I tried a Camber carbon 29, I felt no so comfy going down with the big wheels. I tried the 650B camber, it was lovely but just not as agile and easy as the Whyte. It's not easy getting one in the US, but if you can get a hold of one, go for it !

This is by far the best overview series for trail bikes, and I'm always excited to see what nifty and gnarly bits of info y'all add in! And speaking of Whyte, I was wondering if you gents could do a comparison of the Whyte G-160 Works and the YT Capra CF Pro!? I've been planning a trip in the States, shredding the craziest and most fun lines in each of the 50 states, and I'm not sure which Enduro bike to try to bring along for the long-travel option! Thank again for all the videos, informational and just plain good fun!!

+bikeradar I can see why the t-130 won, no surprise. However how do you think it compares to the Mondraker foxy?
Comparing the same size a 5'10 rider would ride (Large Whyte and Medium Mondraker) the Whyte has a slightly shorter reach, almost same top tube but runs a longer stem, 50mm vs 30mm. I can see this will give much more wheel grip which some people have trouble with on mondrakers the first time. However did you find the overall cockpit (toptube + 50mm stem) a little on the limits of stretch? Which bike would you say does better on flatter twisty XC type trails and climbing? -
what was the easiest pedaling mtb that you guys tested?
-
There is precisely one thing that is notable about this bike - the low leverage ratio design. I find it hard to believe that the low LR configuration alone qualifies this bike to claim a 'best bike' status. Arguably the geometry of the T-129 is significantly better and it too has the low LR design and the same 216mm x 63mm shock absorber. I get the terrible feeling that you have made a best shock absorber rather than best bike award.

Hi first off I apologize for my ignorance but why are mountain bikes shown without the part of the pedal you put your foot on?
-
where can you get it in the US? How does the Diamondback Release series compare. please do a review on the Release soon. Does Whyte have an all mountain? Thanks for the vids.
-
I would like to see a trail bike of the year shootout between, let's say the past 5 years of winners to see how well the older winners fair against the newer
-
funny how a UK bike rated by English riders won the bike of the year...hmmmmm. A little biased?
