REVIEW EXERPT
Back in September, we took the Delano Peak out for some initial test rides and filming. Since that time, we have passed the bike around to our testers and they have all reported similar findings: the Delano Peak is a solid all-around trail machine.

Our time on the Fezzari Delano Peak has taken us on everything from flowing single track to steep, chunky descents and rock slabs in Utah to granite fields in Tennessee. The suspension is active and impressively composed, although towards the end of our testing we found the suspension was definitely in need of some love. The Delano Peak’s large wheels, snappy geometry and 150mm of front travel is ready to handle anything we could throw at it and the really stiff frame urges you do thrash on this poor little bike harder and harder. The Performance Elite fork and shock certainly began to quiver after a while and more aggressive riders could benefit from a suspension upgrade or should prepare on regular service intervals, because you are going to be beating the crap out of this bike! It is just too fun. The rear suspension dynamics are very supportive through the mid stroke, which allowed me to gain speed by pumping rollers and trail features but still had enough travel in reserve for big hits. We did find that it squirmed and rebounded a bit quick on deep, G-out compressions that turned into jumps. On a few occasions the rear end would shoot up out of those hard compression to jump scenarios, making for some scary nose-dives. It happened later in our testing so we think that shock’s need for service could have been to blame. Before we serviced that shock however, we got a longer travel Rock Shox damper which turned our 135mm Delano into a 142mm trail machine. Since then, we have not had any issues and have been very pleased with the extra confidence and comfort the 7mm of travel offers. It is not an upgrade everyone will need, but if you live in super chunky areas, ride hard and want a lightweight trail shredder that is more efficient and snappier than the Fezzari La Sal, this could be the dream upgrade for you.
