"The overall balance of geometry and suspension are firmly at the core of why the 141 is such a fast and capable bike, and why it can box so far outside of its weight."
"The Privateer 161 is an outstanding option for riders who want a very capable, hard-charging Enduro bike, and are willing to put up with a little extra weight to get a well-built, burly bike at a more affordable price."
"The sorted geometry and supportive rear end can make you forget your ‘only’ on a 140mm bike, letting you push on as hard and fast as you dare, with the confidence to ride everything"
"If you're after a snappy, responsive, do-it-all trail bike with a well-thought-out spec and a riotously fun ride at an attractive price, the Privateer 141 should be high on your list!"
"This is not just a great enduro bike for the money, it’s a great enduro bike full stop. Despite a couple of niggles with the frame, Privateer seems to have pulled off a giant-killer."
