Welcome to Street Pigeon MTB. In this video I ride the longesttravel trail bike I have ever ridden. Spoiler alert... It absolutely rips! To the point where I think longtravel trail bikes might just be the most fun bikes available right now.

We dive deep on the new Bird Aeris AM, the spiritual successor to the amazing Bird Aeris AM9. It's a bonkers good trail bike. The Aeris AM features everything Bird have become known for. Progressive geometry, massive standover height, responsive pedalling dynamics, all packaged in our lightest and most advanced allmountain frame to date. This is the longest travel trail bike they have ever made.

Bird like to point out that the new Aeris AM is:

– Light enough to ride all day, strong enough to tackle the biggest challenges.
– Bird’s 4th generation, compact frame design give max clearance for you on the descents, while still leaving room for a 750ml bottle and storage pack.
– 160mm of efficient travel, capable of riding any trail up or down.
– Lifetime warranty on all frame bearings including bottom bracket and headset (with Enduro BB/Headset upgrade)
– A price you can afford, without compromising on quality, service or style.

So feel free to jump in and see how I get on riding the longest travel trail bike I have ever ridden!

If you are new to my videos then expect to see high quality riding vlogs shot in the same style as McTrail Rider and BKXC. I try to travel to the best MTB locations in Scotland finding you the best mountain biking trails to ride, enjoy and explore.

The video was shot on a GoPro Hero 10 mounted on the chin of an Endura MT500 helmet using a R3Pro mount.
