I modify my Canyon Spectral enduro MTB for tricks and maneuverability with some fresh parts! I then shred it as hard as possible in the bike park before switching to some electric motocross action!!
The Canyon Spectral AL is already super easy to throw around but after watching rampage I was reminded how good 26” wheels on the back of the bike feel because it makes technical tricks even easier! So I modify my bike at the bike park before shredding the new MTB trails that Twisted Oaks Bikepark have been cooking up, this place is SICK!
After all that fun I then switch to the Surron Ultrabee electric motocross bike and shred it on a rad enduro MX track through the woods before smashing out some wheelies and then riding my Lightbee at a skatepark!!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Today, I’m going to be fitting this small 26-in 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. There we go. Best thing that like 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 got some special editions to add to the bike now. Look, we’ve got some limited edition Canyon pedals. So cool. These are limited. Look, number 0 of 500. So pumped to get them on. So, 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 hatch I’d actually have the front brake run through the steer 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 pill grips, which is the triple color version. Because we just fitted them new pedals, I’m going to put on some purple pill grips in the double color way. Okay, old pill grips off. Front brake is now off as well. Look at them beauties. Louis actually stood under the back of the van cuz it’s raining so much right now. But there we go. Double colorway pill grips, purple and black. Boom. And the other side. Look at that. 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. So, we’re going to start off, get into grips with this new setup on here. Let’s send it. Dropping [Music] [Music] [Music] And a nice flip in the handle there to finish off first little ride with this setup. This is unreal. The confidence with the smaller wheel to do spins and tail whips and things is crazy. And you see with that whip there, it makes it a bit easier just to throw around. The new pedals giving me loads of grip even though they’re covered in mud. Pill grips looking fresh. I love that setup. Just them simple little things has made that the ultimate jibber. And the single speed like you actually can’t go wrong with that. Listen to the halo as well. That is next level. Right, 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. Come into the woods for a quick few jumps on the bottom part of the slope line. If you look that way, some stuff has been changed. Right, that’s enough. That’s another episode. The slope style line’s getting completely refurbed and it’s looking crazy over there. You’ll see that in the future. But for now, I want to get a nice three tabs on this beast. Let me know foot can in three tape. Just have it in slow. We go like all that slow-mo stuff. I think three tabes 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 wheel cuz 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? Yeah. Oh, that kid’s been like 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-in Halo Skelter wheel on there. Completely transforms it. You should definitely give it a go. So, if you’re ever thinking about getting a different wheel set, don’t be shy to experiment with different size wheels on your bike cuz it really can change the handling drastically. What I’m going to do now though is switch it up. I’ve got the su on in the back of the van as well. We’re about to go for some flat out laps on the ultra beat. We did actually film this the other day, but we’ve had some awful weather this week. So, we’re going to merge both these videos together. Get ready for some flatout 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. And if you don’t know, this is the 2025 Siron Ultra B with a max output of 21 kilowatts of power. Top speed of 60 m 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. Wow, 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 cuz I want to do some wheelies. These bikes are so good cuz you’ve got the back brake here with your finger. So, for mountain bikers, I just find it so much eas. 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. You know, like them guys do. Oh, that will be so good. Oh, it’s scary. the balance. Wa, that’s hard, actually. Oh, yo, that’s actually insane. That’s like a new learn. Right, Lou, I’m going to give you a challenge. You got to pedal the ebike. I’m going to try and do one of them wheelies real fast. You can do like a tracking shot. I’ll give you the GoPro for it. Yeah. Nice. Sick. That was well cool. Stoked in that new move. What else can we do? Oh yeah. Cover Louisie in roost. We’ve now moved to a different location. It’s more of a trialsy zone. There’s some sick hill climbs and stuff. I want to see what this power is like. So, we’ll go up this one here to start. It’s going to be quite tech bit of enduro style riding. Let’s give it a go. Techy hill climb. Easy on this thing. Sick. We got a nice tech one here next to it. There’s like bit of roots there. So hopefully it doesn’t knock me out of line too much. And then straight up there. Here we go. Triagege. Next lap. Oh, that was cool. That was pretty good. It was kind of flew up there. It’s a bit sketchy with them roots. There’s like a steep one there that I’ve never got up with any electric motor, but the 21 kW on this should make it happen. Oh yeah, that was well nice. Oh, that was like too easy. Then this has turned into like a little impromptu trial session now. It’s well fun. I’ll go down there, turn around that tree, and like come up this. But it looks quite dry. It should be quite easy. Oh, I had to bail then. I thought if I’d have tried not to, it would have got I’d have flipped onto me, wouldn’t it? Can’t even speak. It would have flipped on me if I wouldn’t have ghosted it. Sorry, sir. Yo, stoked. That was a cool one. Let’s cover Louis and leave. See what this jump box is like then. Whoa. It’s quite scary when it’s all wet. Oh. Whoa. Wow. Let’s get a sewie over that jump box. Here we go. First feature. Big on there, Manny. Oh, so good. I can go like 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 and 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, cuz it’s so wet. Look, you can do insanely good drift. [Applause] I hope you guys enjoyed that sir on action and of course the Canyon Spectral 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. But that is the end of the video. See you in the next one. [Music]

My orange 222 down hill bike had 26inch wheels bk in the day
It's all about the gyro effect not weight of the wheel. Bigger the wheel bigger the gyro harder to turn. Small gyro easier to turn.
That was the best video ever!
26 and singlespeed, you need a beard and a tweed jacket…
More moto stuff mx!!!!! Also get your hands on a stark
Now do 24" … I used to run a 26" front and a 24" rear back in the early 2000's 😀
Sam, would you please give me a MTB HOPPER LITE ramp, my friend and I, would have so much fun with it! I love your videos and you really got me in to mountainbiking😃
HI..Thanks forthe video ..Crazy.Super..Thumbs UP
good looking slopeduro
When is your next drop? Your clothing is sold out every time I check lol and I really want to get a shirt for my dad before Christmas!
More ultra bee!!! 🐝
Hey Sam I love the channel and love riding but my forks snapped and I really wanna ride again but I don't have the money to buy new ones could you send me some please.
Thats my mate that was being bullied to flip lol
Can you please do a collab with yuki kishi!!!!!!!
That bike sounds like riding on a squealing pig.
im actually really upset with you. where was dusty guy in your last videos??!
Hello Sam wishing you an amazing day. I just watched the newest burm peak video I think you should watch it dude. You need to get a backwards bike 😂 you will smash it bro trust. It’s right up your street cannot wait to see your new video soon with your new backwards bike. I think you will hold the record for riding the furthest and hardest in the Guinness Booker records for sure. Take care mate love your videos i look forward to them massively. Bangers 😎
Mate you look absolutely absurd on that Surron🤣 the things rapid
Hey sam what are your thoughts on the Beinaiqi cavalier. It's a fat bike assuming from the name it's probably Chinese,I have it for 2 years but recently rode it more and abusing it,its fun and not to mention I'm also a third owner. So I think it's pretty great,my first bike ever too. But I'm a bit scared cause I saw you broke the fork on another fat bike. Although I don't really do ramps and ride more around neighborhood
more full lines/trails at the bike park on the mountain bike with the rear 26 inch wheel.
Cool videos by the way
Sam, pls fix one of those ' Backwards steering Bikes…🤗🤘
Sam pilgrim my brakes and they both make squeaking sound I cleaned them and they still do it what do I do it's Shimano 200 hydraulic brakes
Just wondering if you could get hold of a "Cruzbike" for one of your mad video's? I'd have thought they are pretty un-trickable but a man like yourself could well prove that theory wrong. May not be feasible with them being a small US company and not many in the UK but would be fun to see you try.
My opinion is i really really want more light bee action, especially urban stuff and in the skatepark
run a reddy hardline bro
