When anyone mentions the name Whistler around mountain bikers, A-Line’s groomed berms and jumps come to mind, but the surrounding valley offers some incredible riding too, it’s just very steep and extremely technical. That’s why the No Flow Zone was the perfect place to host another Impossible Climb.

different travel bikes… pointless…
The Scott it like something Casper’s dad woulda invented with all the freakin levers. You’ll go to hit the dropper lever n a blade comes out n starts shaving your face
I think that it would be interesting to watch the same rider attempt the same climb with the same bike five consecutive times.
Is that a bike or jeep trail?
So, the Gist of this is, if you're an avg person who isn't a dentist or doctor, doesn't live in a MTB paradise like Whistler with that terrain, get the Norco for a great, all around trail bike for about $8k less than the rest of the bike and take the family on a vacation to Whistler 😉
Why do they keep putting this guy on the "impossible climb?" Bc he is not a good climber?" He stands or is in a neutral seated position only. He obviously never rode short TT lengths and rarely moves forward on the saddle with pressure. I ride impossible climbs daily on hiking trails… not designed for bikes. Put Levy on the climbs.
We need mike levy on the impossible climbs!!!!!
Oct 1? Jesus that’s a lifetime ago
MOAR ALLOY
Idk looks like this guy didn’t give max effort. I’ve found other impossible climbs somewhat informative, but this one blew.
This one seemed like he didn’t really try. It’s like front wheel lifting a tad , give up lol.
This is stupid
Each bike should get two rounds of climbing and in reverse order on the second round to even out learning curve and strength of the rider.
Really need to see the bikes with a rider who moves around, and can move the bikes around too rather than just pedal in neutral
There is nothing scientific about this test
Why even talk about those other bikes when the $4000 Norco IMO is winning this field test, save $6k and get the Norco, BTW I own and ride a Trek and an Ibis, both bikes are way more expensive used then the Norco but I doubt they're better bikes, more blingy but not better.
It always feels like he has a predetermined bike that he wants to get the furthest
that nasty trail
Are you looking for impossible climb test pilots @pinkbike? Asking for a friend 😅
Looks like the trail Shit Happens, definitely not something I'd want to ride up!
This guy sucks at climbing. You should only stop if you fall over
"A fraction of a cost" on the Norco is an understatement.. it's more than half the price vs these crazy priced bikes.
Gave up so easily on the Yeti – they're not paying you enough aye 😉
Seems like this should have been released before the round table discussion. Great vid, though.
Still can't climb.
all have to run the same gear too
Tarmo would've rode them all to the top 😉
👎

As an environmental scientist it amuses me to no end how various bike people describe soil types and condotions. Great video anyway!
i foresee a price hike for the norco in the near future.
Wow, that's very complex scenario, keep up the weak work.
Leave the bikes next to the trail where the rider stalled on it! Would be more illustrative.
