Janky Eric’s take on the Katana
Eric Olsen of Jank Components (aka Janky Eric) has been testing the Katana for the past month, and here’s his review: https://youtu.be/WJx45ZEJ2OE
“I’d like to throw my hat into the ring as someone who’s tried this bike and say this is actually better. I wish that I could buy this bike because the drivetrain is really good, there’s no noise, it uses compatible Shimano components, and it has been very durable. I really hope brands innovate and design a bike around this.”
“Kudos to the Lal Bikes team for making a really impressive bike. It feels really good on trail, like one of the best trail bikes I’ve ridden. Please, bike brands and consumers, push for this, and hopefully we can see some actual innovation and improvements in mountain biking in the future.”
