Top Comments of this video!! :3
Im short (5'7) and rock a small Nukeproof scout 275. I love it! I run Microshift Advent X, TRP evo cranks, Revelation 140, Carbon 35/35 bar, Spank 350 wheel set ,Magic Mary 2.6F Big Betty 2.4R. I even invisiframed it before I built it. Im embarrassed to say how much the build cost lol It's over 2k. Bought everything brand new! But love my ☢️

I feel ya on the brake cable length. I picked up a set of clarks 4 piston hydros for $70. The calipers are really nice but the original lever was basically a copy of the BL-MT200 body with a smaller two finger lever. The ad stated 900mm front and 1500 rear cables. Luckily, they weren't going on something with internal routing but when they fitted up both cables were too short by a cm or five. Checked the brakes and the cables were 800mm/1350mm which was an ass. At the end of the day it gave me a reason to throw my spare SLX levers on the clarks m.4 caliper. With ceramic pads and SLX levers these are probably my favorite combo which I didn't expect.

Awesome video! Given your experience with many bikes it would be interesting to hear your overall thoughts on the Status, it being a mullet with pretty slack head angle. I’ve always been interested in the Status.
So I’m 5’8 and ride a Stumpjumper S4. I like the upsize for the DH stability and how “roomy” it feels. Maybe you should try a few in a size Large.
My HT Fuse is a size medium though to keep things playful on easy trails

I've recently(last year) changed my preferred reach numbers on larges(im 6ft), used to always run 480ish, now on my merida im 490+ on their large and its fantastic, running mullet i can still easily get it around around tight stuff,
Also i used to run a s4 stumpy evo thinking it was my correct size, specilized changed the website to say i should be on s5 now, so i thought hey why not just to comparision sake to my merida and wow, its so much better than the s4 ever was.
More brands need to get on the Short seat tube setup for their XL's so We can get onto the next size better.
Im also running a 240mm dropper on a 'long' merida... its soo nice

Alright, i think i know what this man is going for. He wants reliability and nothing else concerns him, he bought the bike to ride it, not to race, not to train, not to flex, but to have fun. And this will do that just fine
