Multiljoy Spaniel Mountain Bike Test
Multiljoy Spaniel Mountain Bike Test
Is the Multijoy Spaniel a good bike to take on a mountain bike trail? Let’s find out!
Video Summary
Beginner Course
- The narrator decides to try out a beginner-type course on the trail.
- He wants to see how well the bike performs on this easier route.
“There’s a more of a beginner type course so we’re gonna give that a shot and see how well this bike does.”
Trail Test
- The video shows the narrator riding the bike on the trail.
- He hits a jump and injures his knee, but the bike handles the impact well.
“I hit the jump because I hit the chop. My knee bounced off that rock, but look, good thing I stopped. Holy crap, this bike wouldn’t have been able to handle that.”
Bike Performance Evaluation
- The narrator discusses the bike’s performance on the trails.
- He mentions that the throttle is not responsive and the pedal assist level one is ineffective.
- The bike wants to take off and launch when in pedal assist level two.
- He concludes that the Multi-Joy bike is not suitable for mountain biking and is better as a cruiser bike.
“Throttle the with that not good. When you’re trying to grab some times and try to hold on, the thing just takes off. Also, pedal assist one didn’t do anything on this bike. So, you have to put it in pedal assist too. Well then it just wants to take off and launch. This is a great light cruiser round and not a mountain bike.”
Comparing Bikes
- The narrator compares his experience with the Multi-Joy bike to his previous bike, the Avinton Adventure.
- He mentions that he has more experience and comfort with the Avinton Adventure.
- He prefers the hydraulic brakes and thumb throttle on his Avinton Adventure.
“I feel like my Avinton uh adventure would be a lot better. Also, I have almost a thousand miles on that bike and only have like 30 on this one, so the level of comfort is obviously different. These mechanical brakes would totally rather have hydraulic brakes. Definitely want to use a thumb throttle instead of a twist throttle.”
Bike Durability
- The narrator comments on the durability of the Multi-Joy bike.
- Despite crashing and wrecking the bike, it is still in good condition.
- He believes the bike held up as well as he did, if not better.
“You guys have seen what I just put this thing through, and it’s still fine. Even after I wrecked it, it’s still doing good. Is it a good bike? Did it hold up? Absolutely. Held up about as good as I did, maybe better.”
Seat Comfort and Pedal Strikes
- The narrator mentions that the seat on the Multi-Joy bike feels good.
- He didn’t experience any pedal strikes, despite the bike having 170mm crank arms.
“The seat feels actually pretty good. No pedal strikes, oddly enough, even though it does have 170 millimeter crank arms. If you were doing this kind of trails would I get this bike? No.”
“The Multi-Joy bike is a great cruiser bike. Is it a good bike? Did it hold up? Absolutely. Held up about as good as I did, maybe better.”
