Welcome back and it's been a little while but I've been moving so I just bought a house
and we're just getting settled in but uh this is the world that I'm living in right now the bikes
are over here this is probably half of the house still in boxes in the garage so this has been my
life for about the last two months but we're in a good spot we're getting stuff put away
and today I want to show you guys a new bike that I bought
let's go out to the backyard we're going to take a look at this new carbon fiber mountain
bike frame now let me start this video off by saying i typically wouldn't go out and buy a 400
carbon fiber mountain bike frame typically carbon fiber mount bike frames cost a thousand dollars
plus that's kind of starting on the low end but with the supply chain issues and things
that are happening with covid in 2021 i started looking on the web and i really wanted to find a
nice hardtail that was kind of lightweight that i could just have fun on do some cross-country
riding with and the ones that kept coming up were always on alibaba or ebay and they're like sub 400
and they're always available and they're always on sale and it just seemed too good
to be true and so i contacted trifox and trifox agreed to send me out one of these
bikes i just wanted to see what they were all about see how they rode and see if a
400 carbon fiber mount bike frame was worth anybody's time now before we get too deep
into looking at my bike i want to know if you guys have had any experience with trifox
or purchasing bikes off of aliexpress post down in the comments tell me did it work out for you
what was your experience was it worth your time i'm kind of curious to hear you guys experience
so
we are up here above 10 000 feet in elevation just outside of Leadville and uh
the trifox is a good good climbing platform
great set of combos of tires on here I think the Suntour fork up front is doing its job
that box components on the rear definitely shifting well
lots of gears across that wide range cassette even though it's a nine-speed
handle's good nice
got a little bit of chain slap on the back on this frame you definitely need a chainstay protector
but this thing feels really good on the acceleration
obviously, it's a hardtail you know carbon fiber frame it's a little stiffer than what I would
expect but you know for a 500 frame let's say this thing uh gets to it it's definitely a rocket ship
running the bike in soft tail mode
oh yeah little pumps over here
this
bike is nimble for sure
easy to steer real fast enough front end
there you go a little air on that
not bad for a hardtail
got these 800-millimeter salsa bars and uh
gotta watch out for the trees
so there you have it that is my quick and dirty review of the trifox mfn200 honestly I've had a
ton of fun with this bike for 400 bucks I'm not gonna make any complaints and honestly,
i haven't had any issues so I'm gonna have a ton more fun on this I hope you guys enjoyed the video
