Reviewer Reports: New Bikes, Shimano Di2, & More

from Bikes & Big Ideas

We’ve been testing a massive range of bikes, from the XC-oriented Kona Hei Hei to the long-travel, full-power Santa Cruz Bullit, so David, Simon, and Dylan sat down to talk about a whole bunch of them. We also dive into Shimano’s long-awaited XTR Di2 wireless drivetrain and the Deore and XT versions that just launched, the consistency of Shimano’s new brakes, and a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Kona Hei Hei (1:46)Yeti MTe (10:46)Pivot SL/AM (22:36)Specialized Turbo Levo 4 (31:45)Santa Cruz Bullit (40:13)Salsa Blackthorn 145 (46:17)Esker Woodsy (52:48)Santa Cruz Hightower & Bronson (1:02:51)Shimano XTR Di2 & Deore / XT versions (1:17:48)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDGEAR:30Blister Podcast Hosted on Acast.
