So....time to let the cat out of the bag, to cut a long story short, 12 days ago while back home training I had a big crash where I wrapped myself around a tree and ended up with both shoulders seperated and significant muscle tearing around my shoulder blade in my back. Ive bee out and about riding lightly and slowly, but its not possible for me to race this weekend for EWS#1 in Rotorua. Been a very rough 2 weeks and pretty gutted to miss my first major race as world champ. Unfortunately it isnt April 1st either
Out and about riding two weeks after separating both shoulders and tearing muscles? What is he, a gladiator??
Finn Iles out
Taylor Vernon out.
Steve Smith out. (broken again possibly)
what a rough start to the season already : ( we wish everyone speedy recoveries.
I really hope the injuries aren't serious and that they can come back healthy in little time.
healthy vibes for all the injured riders...
Basically, the WC pros wanted slightly more progression in the suspension, so Big S CNC'd up some custom links.
Ludo May, one of our Urge bike products EWS Rider, Team mate of Fabien Barel from the Canyon Factory Enduro Team is out for a broken collar bone. . .

sam has new shoes, too.
That kit does not match their UCI Trade Team kit - Are Royal only sponsoring them for UCI DH events?

edit - we received word that this bike was a rental for some reason
It pisses me off that he doesn't seem to get the right amount of support for racing, he's got so much potential.
Riding one bike all week, hopping on another one for race day and placing fifth is badass. And let's not forget how he shralped the sh*t out of that one corner. Dripping in style
And yes, did he ever rip that inside corner. For me he was the first rider to come through there that made me say "WHAT THE F..." out loud.
Who knows, we might see a new dominant figure coming up
The botom part of the swingarm has a black link bolted to it, which gets pulled going through the travel. That in exchange pulls on the silver rocker, which rotates counter-clockwise and compresses the shock.
