AMD Actually Made a Mountain Bike (It's Terrifying): Review, Safety Concerns, Test Ride

Yes, THAT same AMD made a mountain bike. AMD, the CPU company, decided to sell a 150 Walmart bike for 350, so we bought one to review on Steve's favorite local trails. AMD has decided that designing processors was too easy, so it has moved instead to making mountain bikes. AMD is rebranding Kent mountain bikes, basically Walmart mountain bikes, and selling them for massive markup on the AMD fan store. In fact, these mountain bikes took everyone by such surprise that the AMD fan store immediately sold out of them, and has been struggling to keep up ever since. We grabbed ours early and are now back in time to review this 350 disaster of a bike with AMD's literal sticker on it. This is actually a genuine review from us, although it's also just sort of amusing. We wanted to provide real consumer advice on this bike because, frankly, GN's opinion is that it is unsafe to ride in the state which it is sold.

I find this a shame they are so close to Santa Cruz, they need to send someone over and partner on a real bike even if it's 1500-2000 xc hard tail or hit up marin on a bike, they are in north Cali with big name bike hq everywhere how can they fail so bad hell I'd be ok if it was a folding ebike from lunacycle or a sur ron AMD ed just something that's not a pos. If it was a real bike with real ots parts and running gear I'd buy one but I'd like to live tell 2021 so I'm going stick to my Santa Cruz, Nukeproof, Marin, Specialized, Trek, Obey, Giant, Diamondback, etc. Honestly i spent way to much with my bikes but ride daily so eh..in my rack now is mondraker summum 27.5 with a fork swap and a 29 front wheel, a santa Cruz v10 top spec, and a Scott Gambler also a maxed out spec 29er. Some trails i wil swap a 27.5 rear if lots of up hill or switch backs by for best looking 29er ever..

Also, this bike only serve one purpose. that is to distract the media. During the time, Intel and NVIDIA is on something big with tiger lake and ampere. AMD with nothing on the horizon needs something to keep it's name on the news cycle. So what did they do? Something unthinkable that's really eye-catching for a lot of people: Release a goddamn bike. The media ate this news like there's no tomorrow and AMD's goal is easily achieved. Well played Lisa Su.

I had an awesome Mongoose Bike once loved that thing and spent a pretty penny on it to boot it was probably trash I don't know much about Bikes but me and my friends did put alot of money into it but it was over a decade ago I am sure they're not what they used to be since I've seen them at Walmart since. I love these videos I think I'll order a Mountain Bike and see if I can get into it and will forsure stay away from this one.

This bike is truly like AMD's chips: Don't buy it unless you know what you're doing. AMD chips have a lot of issues that needs you to do stuff like update your BIOS, sort funny issues that causes BSODs and black screens, etc. This bike is the same more or less in a sense that you need to know how to fix shit when it's broken.
Good job AMD. It's nice to see the tradition is alive and well.

This was my close to my experience when I bought my 60 Walmart bike. It was pretty bad, but not this bad.
Good job AMD, you're selling a bike that's actually worse than that.
Only good thing about my 60 Walmart bike was it helped me learn how to tune various things on the bike. And actually is pretty reliable basic bike after that.

AMD Management: We should get in on this 'RIPGN' stuff when we get to the new Radeon release - it would be good PR
Several layers of coroporate miscommunication later:
OK, so we're agreed - we assassinate Steve by releasing an actively dangerous mountain bike

I have the kent flexor, and didn't realize that it was the same as the AMD bike. I picked mine up at Walmart for 140, and now I think I'm going to paint it up like the AMD bike. Btw, Steve is way braver than I am. I wouldn't take this bike on trails if I was paid to

When Corsair decides to be a sticker factory, at least the sticker is good.
Ouch, AMD tried to kill Steve with this bike, but it's ultimately AMD being murdered today.

Your trails look so fun!! My city just approved a project to build bike trails on the rather large bluffs overlooking the Missouri River up north of Kansas City. So excited.

AMD should have gone to Trek or Giant and put their sticker on one of their low end bikes. At least it wouldn't have been a total pile of wally world pot metal. :\
