Today I'm going to be fitting this small 26 inch halo wheel to the back of my enduro bike
because 26 on the rear makes the bike insanely trickable. Let's see how good it's going to be.
First thing I'm going to do then is get rid of the rear 27.5 wheel like so. Then we simply put
on this fresh wheel. I'm actually so excited. Back wheel in, chain on. Here we go. Best thing
You don't even notice actually it's 26 really, do you? That's going to be so fun. I'm actually
so excited. We've got some special additions to add to the bike now. Look, we've got some
limited edition Canyon pedals. So cool. These are limited. Look, number 000 of 500.
So pumped to get them on. We've also got a cool sticker as well. Look,
I ride flat pedals. Oh, that's so nice. For the ultimate option, I'd actually have the front brake
run through the steerer tube, but I quite like this one that you can switch it between having
no front brake and having the front brake. Right now we're going to run it without.
So to get the brake off, I'm going to take off these existing peel grips,
which is the triple color version because we just fitted them new pedals. I'm going to put
on some purple peel grips in the double colorway. Okay, old peel grips off. Front brake is now off
as well. Look at them beauties. Louie's actually stood under the back of the vans. It's raining so
much right now, but there we go. Double colorway peel grips, purple and black. Boom. And the other
side. Look at that. It's so easy to modify your bike just with the grips. Oh, that matches like
that is actually what people may call the dream, especially someone like me.
We've now come to the next day and what a good move that was. Blue skies, perfect conditions,
and we are ready for a shreddy. There's a brand new line here as well at Twisted Oaks Bike Park.
They've modified the red and there's a few cool features. We're going to start off
getting to grips with this new setup on here. Let's send it.
And a nice flip of the handle there to finish off first little ride of this setup. This is
unreal. The confidence with the smaller wheel to do spins and tail whips and things is crazy.
You see that whip there, it makes it a bit easier just to throw around. New pedals giving me loads
of grip even though they're covered in mud. Peel grips looking fresh. I love that setup,
just them simple little things has made that the ultimate jibber and the single speed. You
actually can't go wrong with that. Listen to the halo as well. That is next level.
We're going to go up there then, see what other fun stuff we can do. I'm literally pumped riding
this thing. It's the best. We've come into the woods for a quick few jumps in the bottom part
of the slope line. If you look that way, some stuff has been changed. That's enough.
That's another episode. The slope star line is getting completely refurbed and it's looking
crazy over there. You'll see that in the future. But for now, I'm going to get a nice three tabs
on this beast. Let me no foot can in. Three tabs, just have it in slow so we can go like,
all that slow-mo stuff. I think three tabs on the bigger bikes feel better than the jump bike
actually. It's like there's just more weight moving. That little wheel on there, just that
tiny bit difference does just feel that bit easier. I can see why the guys at Rampage,
some of the guys at Rampage opt for the smaller wheels. It just gives you that confidence that
you know that your tricks are going to work straight away. Let's go flip on here. Oh,
this guy's sending a flip, I think. Are you? Is he in? Yes. That kid's been bullied by his mates
to flip, so that might happen in a second. I want to go flip and then see if I can three
tuck straight away. That little wheel, it's going to happen immediately.
Just finished a fun session on the modified Canyon Spectral AL with that 26-inch Halo
Skelter wheel on there. Completely transforms it. You should definitely give it a go. If you're
ever thinking about getting a different wheel set, don't be shy to experiment with different
size wheels on your bike because it really can change the handling drastically. What I'm going
to do now though is switch it up. I've got the Sir on in the back of the van as well. We're about
to go for some flat-out laps on the Ultra B. We did actually film this the other day, but we've
had some awful weather this week. We're going to merge both these videos together, get ready for
some flat-out action. Let's have a look. Coming to the woods then, there's an absolutely insane
trail that runs all the way around here, kind of enduro style. If you don't know, this is the
2025 Sir on Ultra B with a max output of 21 kilowatts of power, top speed of 60 miles an hour.
It is an incredible piece of kit. Let's smash this lap as fast as possible.
Let's get it. Sport mode activated. Let's send it.
That is next level. So much power here.
Wow. That's such a sick track. Can't even believe it. Obviously, we filmed it so it looks like we
did one lap, but we've been lapping around to get all the shots. That is so fun. This thing is crazy
powerful. We've come out into the open again because I want to do some wheelies. These bikes
are so good because you've got the back brake here with your finger. For mountain bikers,
I just find it so much easier, and probably anyone actually. It's just you don't have
to think about using your foot as the back brake like on a real motocross bike.
Oh, I love it. It's so fun. Sick. That's well cool. Let me try one of them ones where you're
on the seat like them guys do. Oh, that will be so good. Oh, it's scary at the balance.
Wow, that's hard actually. Oh, yes. That's actually insane. That's like a new learn.
By the way, I'm going to give you a challenge. You got to pedal the e-bike. I'm going to try
and do one of them wheelies real fast. You can do a tracking shot. I'll give you the GoPro for it.
Nice. Sick. That was well cool. Stoked on that new move. What else can we do? Oh, yes. Cover
Louis in roost. We've now moved to a different location. It's more of a trials-y zone. There's
some sick hill climbs and stuff. I want to see what this power's like. We've got this one here
to start. It's going to be quite tech, bit of enduro-style riding. Let's give it a go.
Techie hill climb. Easy on this thing. Sick. We've got a nice tech one here next to it. There's
a bit of roots there. Hopefully, it doesn't knock me out of line too much. Then straight up there.
Here we go. Trilage. Next lap. That was cool. That was pretty good. It just flew up there.
It's a bit sketchy with them roots. There's a steep one there that I've never got with
any electric motor, but the 21 kilowatts on this should make it happen. Yes, that was well nice.
That was too easy then. This has turned into a little impromptu trial session now. It's well
fun. I'll go down there, turn around that tree, and come up this. It looks quite dry. It should
be quite easy. I had to bail then. I thought if I'd have tried not to, it would have got stuck.
I'd have flipped onto me, wouldn't it? I can't even speak. It would have flipped on me if I
wouldn't have ghosted it. Sorry, Sir Ron. Yes. Stoked. That was a cool one. Let's cover Louie
in leaves. Let's see what this jump box is like then. It's quite scary when it's all wet.
Wow. Let's get a suey over that jump box. Here we go. First feature.
Big on there. Manny. Oh, so good. I can go from here all the way onto the grass, I think.
Huge. That felt pretty cool. Let's get a no foot can on the jump box, then I'll try and ride
the actual mini ramp in the back with it. Oh, sick. Huge run. Done the whole park.
Oh, actually, because it's so wet, look, you can do insanely good drift. I hope you guys enjoyed
that Sir Ron action, and of course, the canyon spectra at the start of the video. If you want
to see more of both or either or one or the other, write in the comments below what you guys want to
see. That was the end of the video. See you in the next one. To the sky.
