Privateer's "trail bike" is not for the faint of heart nor the weak of limb
Well-rounded all-mountain and trail bike
Burly construction with oversized pivot hardware
External cable routing
Flip chip for wheel size and chainstay length adjustment
Planted and balanced at high speed in loose, rocky terrain
Buttery plush rear suspension
Confident, predictable front-rear balance
Surprisingly capable technical climbing ability
Direct-to-customer brand with good value
Heavy (over 37 pounds)
Ponderous and energy-sapping on smooth trails
Not nimble; feels heavy after a couple hours
No UDH
Not for casual trail riders

The 141 is a burly trail bike that was designed with reliability in mind.
Ability to run either rear wheel size or shock type
Robust, straightforward hardware
Excellent rear wheel tracking
On the heavy side for a trail bike
Drivetrain can impose some undesired feedback at the rear wheel
Not UDH compatible

Built for Speed, Privateer, amateur professional, racing for Team Mom and Dad—call it what you will but the idea is the same. Outside of pro mountain biking’s select upper echelon of well-paid, well-supported athletes, many if not most competitors are barely scraping by. This often means bumming rides to races, packing extra bodies into hotel rooms and cashing in favors when your gear needs servicing or replacement.
Value for money
High-end suspension (Fox 36 GRIP2, Float X DPX2)
Good tires (Schwalbe Hans Dampf/Magic Mary Addix Soft)
Stable at high speeds
Confident on descents
Planted feel
Heavy (34 lbs on XL)
Sluggish climbing
Poor maneuverability at slow speeds
Not playful
On/off brake feel (Magura MT5)
Externally routed cables
Not for beginners

Companies like Privateer that push design outside the norm are favorites of ours, especially if it’s in the name of racing.

The Privateer 141 brings everything we liked about the 161 but puts it in a more trail friendly package. While it may not be the prettiest or lightest of bikes out there the Privateer 141’s user friendliness and excellent kit list, combined with its forward-thinking geometry result in a bike that's as versatile as it is fun, making it one of the best trail mountain bikes you can buy. Is this the ultimate trail bike?

From the park to the podium, the Privateer 141 does it all

Privateer 141 SLX/XT review: UK-designed trail bike promises to bring same big sizing and aggressive geometry concept as its 161.
Commanding riding position
Too much chain slap
