This is the craziest bike I've ever seen.
It has got car wheels on it.
Look how weird it is.
Today is going to be epic.
This bike is an engineering masterpiece.
Look at it.
The fork has only one side,
but this is where it gets a bit scary
because think all this weight
is just on this one tiny piece of head tube there.
So we're not going to think about that.
It's only got a front brake
and it is running an actual Volvo hub in here.
So if that does break,
at least, you know,
we can use a Volvo running gear to make it happen.
The whole frame is custom made
and the rear is where it gets super intricate
of all these cool turns and welds
and like different parts hanging off
to allow this chain set up to be widened
to fit the wheel on.
If you look in closely at the back here,
it's also got another Volvo hub in there
and that connects to five bolts inside the rear wheel.
It's only got one gear,
so we're single speed front brake only like I said,
but it's going to be sick.
It's the craziest thing ever.
And I think what we're going to find out later in the video
is that you can get your knee down on it
like on a super bike
because there's so much weight in the tires and grip
that it could make the unthinkable happen.
We want to start off first just to see what it rolls like
over a few of these little funny,
pumpy rollers in the background there.
This is it.
First send on Bigfoot.
We're flying.
Oh, it's going over the rollers perfectly.
Look at that.
First feature stomp.
Now, if you're an OG channel follower,
you'll have seen I did a bike
with similar looking wheels
with Tom Eystead over in America.
It's a mini downhill bike with car tires.
Oh my God, it looks amazing.
Oh, the toes.
But it definitely, definitely wasn't as heavy as that.
That is ridiculous.
It's like it's made of lead,
but that's going to make it all the more exciting.
And that's just so funny how it rolls.
It's like you're in glue the whole time.
Let's see what other fun slopes you can ride down
and then move on.
Let's try a slope on this thing
and then see what it's like.
Don't want to go that quick
because I don't know how strong these forks are.
Oh, it's taking up the bumps like a dream.
Oh, it's so scary of one break
and there's a cliff edge right here.
Oh, let's go down that steep side.
Here we go, big freeride line on this now.
Oh my God.
Oh, it's digging in.
Wow.
God, it's like a tank through there.
Oh, it makes such simple stuff so difficult and fun.
What a machine.
Well, before we move on,
I'm going to blast up there with the canyon
and do a proper freeride send all the way down.
Here we go, a little freeride line on the Canyon Spectral.
Let's start off with a skate parky manny in.
Wow.
We've switched locations
and it is time to see if the knee down
is possible on this bike.
I'm sure because of the heavy wheels,
we've got enough to lean on.
I've got my old moto gear on
or I have actually had my knee down in the past
on a motorbike, which is pretty cool.
So we're going to see if it's possible on this.
We're on top of this multi-story car park
because there's an option to go both ways
out of this little run up.
So let's.
Oh, this is actually scary though.
Right, let's get the first attempt underway then.
Oh my God, it's so going to happen.
I just got to work out where I,
so I don't want my pedals to dig in.
I've got to sort of stand like a tail whip catch
in a bad position and yeah, that's going to work.
Oh my God, it's going to work.
Inbound.
Oh no, I got to just lean off better.
Well, I'm going to take this seat off
and try and put it flush with the frames.
I just can't get low enough, I feel like.
Yeah, that looks good.
I'm going to tie it down.
That's a proper me fitment of a saddle.
Yeah, it's quite good.
That's annoying.
It's really difficult.
So if I did it like that though,
I could actually do it, I think.
But if it touches, I'll flip out.
I was like fighting to not let the pedal touch though.
Let's see that, because that was closer for sure.
Quick review on it, that's the one.
Dropped pedal, which is how you shouldn't ride corners.
But if I'm leant enough, I think that's it.
That looks amazing from behind.
That is so insane.
I'm going to get it now, this is it.
Knee down on a bike.
Absolutely millimetres.
This guy, I just need a touch more speed.
I'm going to pedal in so hard.
This is it, knee down.
Oh, it touched, just last second.
That means it's possible,
I actually need to hang that little bit more off.
Yes, it works.
Let's get a Sloan's of that.
Yes, that's sick.
Can't believe that worked.
Knee down on a bike.
Not the most normal of bikes, but it worked.
Let's go and see what else we can do.
We've got to ride down some stairs, haven't we?
There's some over there we're about to do.
I was so excited to wear my new merch,
and I got so hot in that outfit that I can't wear it,
because it's all sweaty and minging.
Anyway, we're going to cut this
into an overly dramatised little piece, just for fun.
Let's get that slow-mo on.
Oh, I got all sideways, yes.
We just arrived at the skate park.
It's going to fire on this thing.
See what we can get done on this beast then.
Good thing is you can just fakie it,
and it's so stable.
Oh wait, that's actually not as easy as I thought.
There we go, stomped, yes.
Let's try it in the bowl.
Do you like this beast?
Marketplace special.
So heavy, wouldn't believe.
Can't really drop in though, can we?
Let's drop it in, and then go in after.
Just digging the bowl up with its bolts.
Oh yeah.
Oh, it's made for the bowl, isn't it?
Oh, that's hard work.
Big fakie at the back end.
Yes.
Russian slide, let's get it.
Oh my God.
Take that, that's about it, you can do really.
And it's so heavy, you wouldn't believe.
It's a full-on workout to lift it.
Try it, mate.
Have a go.
See what it's like.
Mate, here, can have a go on it.
Go on.
Yes, he's got it.
Oh yeah.
Oh, straight in for the fakie.
It is got some weight to it.
Yeah, give it some, pedal it hard,
and it'll start going.
Ah, see, he's actually making it look hard.
I'm glad that it's actually hard to ride.
Yeah, get on there.
You gotta sort of be on the side to turn.
There you go.
It's hard.
That's realistically all we're gonna be able to do
at the skate park.
That was still well funny.
And you had a bit of proof there
that it is quite a weird and difficult bike to ride.
Let's go in that direction.
We've made it to the finale.
Is it gonna survive down these MTB trails?
Let's get it on the biggest wheel bike I've ever been on.
Let's get it.
Dropping.
One brake only, remember?
Oh, we're flying.
We're monster trucking into these berms.
Oh, oh, horrible bump there.
Oh, I felt the whole fork bend.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh, it's so fun.
Flat out into this berm.
Oh, so much enjoyment.
Oh.
Oh, it's so hard to keep the speed.
Monster trucking.
Yes.
Made it.
That is so ridiculous, that bike.
It's actually, as well built as it is,
this is the hardest bike to ride I've ever had
because you're so limited.
It's not even the difficulty of riding,
it's the limits you have with it.
It's so heavy.
It doesn't actually wanna turn.
You can't even lift the front up
and without a rear brake and stuff,
you're quite limited.
So I think we've done some pretty insane stuff on this.
And to come away with a bike that random
still in one piece is actually so rare for me.
The forks here were really scary down that trail as well.
I just have in my mind all this ridiculous amount of weight
is held on by an old school bike frame.
Look at it.
So thin.
Yeah, that is pretty scary.
But I'm sure there's some more cool use cases for this bike.
So if any of you have got any sick ideas
what we can do with this,
or maybe I even take the cranks off,
put a solid foot rest through there
and we can do like a proper knee down session
if we find a big hill with loads of turns.
Now that could be sick.
So yeah, let me know in the comments below
what you wanna see of this bike.
And like I always say,
if you see any other sick bikes, let me know
and I'll give them a shreddy.
See you in the next one.
To the sky.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah.
