Trail Bike of the Year 2020 | Part 2: Direct-Sales Bikes | Mountain Bike Rider

Nine trailblazing full-suspension machines, two categories, two outstanding winners - it's the most important bike test of 2020 | Click here to subscribe: /user/MBRmagazine A big change to this year’s test is that we have split it between direct-sales brands and bikes that are available from bricks and mortar shops. So we still have two distinct categories, with separate prices points for each. In part 1 we looked at shop-bought bikes available from bricks and mortar retailers, whereas in this video we're going to focus on the the direct-sales brands. This move isn’t driven purely by a desire to level the playing field, though that certainly helps. We’re convinced that the majority of riders looking to buy direct or from a store, want to do so exclusively, and are actually different consumers with different buying habits. Well, at least when it comes to big ticket purchases like buying a new bike. As such, we wanted to target the test accordingly.
