In this video, it's new bike day for me, but could this be the ONLY bike I'll ever need?

The AM.170M is one very serious bike. Right from the off on the trail, it instantly made me feel reassuringly confident straight away, like I’ve been riding for years. Its incredible stability really opens up line choices that I wouldn’t have previously considered, it is so reassuring, precise and confident on any level of trail and allows me to push my limits in ways I wasn’t expecting. I was able to manoeuvre around the bike with incredible ease, largely due to the short seat tube and low stand over height, this allows for a big dropper post to be fitted which gets the saddle out of the way for full manoeuvrability and coupled with it’s utter silent smoothness, it gives the bike an invisible feel, I have to keep checking it’s actually still there!
The Continental Kryptotal tyres were gripping like hot toffee to a blanket, with a combination of the incredible tyre compounds and the mind blowing efficiency of the DW6 suspension kinematics keeping the tyres glued to the trail.
The speed of this bike is mind blowing and the Hayes Dominion brakes with the Galfer rotors/pads upgrade had such huge power and incredible levels of control that I’ve never felt before. With the combination of the braking power, tyre grip, geometry and suspension, I could not only comfortably leave the braking till the last minute but confidently know that the bike had my back 100%.
