Tis the season for new bikes to start showing up for EWS and other pro competitors.

If you see any sweet rides, add them here!

Orbea's dialed Rallon R5 bikes for their new Enduro squad which includes Thomas Lapeyrie. FOX suspension, ENVE wheels, Maxxis Tires, Rotor and more.

yeah! ews released one 2019 race venue per day for the last 8 or 9 days (kinda painful). now that they're all announced, we'll put a full schedule out. pretty cool for northstar!

If I'm not mistaken, I think this is his race bike from Finale. Not a brand new bike.

Wow ! It's an honor to have you here jesse !
I'm a huge fan from france ^^!
I have had a slayer last year, love it.
I test an altitude too, easier and fun.

I'm glad you like the Slayer!
Compared to the Altitude the Slayer is more suited to carrying speed downhill. I like the Altitude a little more for generating speed on the trail, but that is just for racing.
The Instinct suspension is quite similar to the Altitude so it is just in the wheels. 29" vs 27.5", whatever you prefer to ride.

Thank you very much !
Ok, the slayer is like a mini downhill bike, maybe too much for some physical races.
The instinct maybe will help to have less fatigue on long descend I think.

You look to have a good "off" season, hard work will pay for sur.
Wish you the best for the race season ahead, great results and lot of fun !
Bye

Yes, with rotor cranks. you can see the 46 tooth expander better in his latest picture of it.

Most interesting thing on the 3 RockShox equipped Santa Cruz Hightower LT's is yet another new linkage to fit Metric shocks. Oh and the prototype air can on Mark Scotts SuperDeluxe.
