Racing the State 4130 Steel Hardtail in 2025 — Here’s My Build

This is my race bike for the 2025–2026 season — the State Bicycle Co. 4130 Steel Hardtail. I built this bike with one goal in mind: compliance. It’s designed to ride like a full-suspension bike but keep all the efficiency and simplicity of a hardtail. In this video, I go over every component on the build — from the Fox 34 SL fork and TRP Trail Evo brakes to the Berd TR27 wheels and Continental tires — and explain why I chose each part to make this a capable, comfortable, and fast race machine for events like the Filthy 50 and Whiskey 50. ⚡ Check Out Jenson USA : https://bit.ly/3VB0Jv0 ⚡ One Of my Favorite Shops : https://www.jensonusa.com/?rstr=mtbraddad ⚡ My Favorite BEER : https://athleticbrewing.rfrl.co/go6nn ( Use ADAMM20 for Discount) ⚡ My Favorite Wheels : https://alnk.to/5jiBA9R ⚡ My Favorite XC Helmet : https://amzn.to/3Kenc9R ⚡ My Favorite Trail Helmet : https://amzn.to/3ZNAIHj ⚡ My Camera for Studio : https://amzn.to/3Kz0niC ⚡ My Camera for Riding : https://amzn.to/40NDFJe ⚡ My Favorite Pack : https://amzn.to/40BVhHX 💲 Join My Youtube Membership ✅ Save 10% off of Handup Gloves: https://alnk.to/9T2stz3 (code " RADDAD4LYFE$ ") ✅ Get 10% off Spy Optics : https://bit.ly/3b3knHR ✅ Save 15% off SeveniDP : https://bit.ly/3jYnE0E (code " MTBRadDad " ) ⚡ These Mic Covers are a MUST HAVE for your Gopro : https://amzn.to/36AOswa 🔥 My Bike Setup : https://bit.ly/mtbraddadbike 🔥 My Cameras : bit.ly/mtbraddadcameras 🎵Like the music in my videos? https://bit.ly/2UGS50W How I make my videos found: http://bit.ly/3alL5dS FOLLOW: https://instagram.com/mtb_rad_dad #mtb #mtbraddad
