2003 VS 2023 MTB - 20 Years Of Change On Mountain Bikes

Just how much have bikes changed in the last 20 years? In this video Kyle tries to compare a 2003 Banshee Scream against a 2022/23 Niner WFO. The bikes have the same amount of travel roughly but the geometry and components are drastically different. We were curious just how much faster a modern bike would be on a timed run through one of our favorite trails! ▶ If you enjoy our channel and want to support it there are a few different ways you can help out below 😊 #1 Join Our Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/RideMtb Our Patreon is a place where we like to communicate with our community one on one, brainstorm new video ideas, and do monthly hang outs!
