It would be dope to see all 3 of the frameworks racers destroy tracks, warp minds and break hearts this year. And with follow cams like dak……
Gwin to yeti would be classy.
and hopefully fassssssst.
What if gwin brought dak with him.
dak
rude
gwin
oh baby.
Cockpit?
Hint of belt drive in that ‘chain’ ring
Not to mention it looks like that stock Red Zerode G3 color coming through the blackouts in spots
Shoes looks a lot like a 2fo cliplite with the double boa and tread pattern
Who ever placed those brake levers needs to be beaten with a shoe.
Will be cool to see that thing on the WC stage.
They are Fox double boa shoes. Pic a few pages ago
As a big hand tall guy, they look perfect to me.
I quoted the heel pic fox logo and all as well as Tanner-Carl's spot on text "fox helmets and shoes"
If you don't think a union boa looks a lot like a 2fo cliplite that's cool... I think they do.
But you forgot that I am an idiot!!
Also neglected to mention that there's a left Shoe and a Right shoe.
Opps.... gotta be careful riding with people with gopro's huh... Danny on Nukeproof in some way
Different strokes for different folks eh? Some people like pineapple on pizza while others eat their slices crust first. Seen it happen. There were no words. I just left the table.
My Magic 8 Ball says that as magical as Gwin and Rude together would be, it ain't gonna happen. Gwin riding a Yeti frame is the more likely scenario if it were to go that way. Neither side is gonna drop their sponsor packages for the other.
I'm super stoked at the possibility of a gearbox on the World Cup stage again. My last memorable World Cup gearbox moment is of Benoit Coulanges' busting just meters out of the start gate. But if memory serves right, that was an Effigear and this one's gonna be a Pinion so problem solved!
Gonna go grab my Pinion-branded tin foil hat and pop some popcorn in anticipation of the good news!
I don't know how Dak is ”probably on Mondraker”, since most hints are suggesting Intense under a fresh MS umbrella. But I could be wrong. The Mondraker team rider announcement episodes beginning today will probably shed some light on this.
Mx
The Gamux team have been on pinion gearbox bikes in the DH World Cup for the few years…..
Totally brain farted on that one. Ironically, I was waiting for Gamux to say they were gonna sell an enduro bike
Haha.. look at all the down voting sheep...f.logs. 🤔.. it's a relevant question ..
Based on Daks interview after last season, he said he was going to be in a good place. I think he’ll be on an Intense frame with MS Intense.
the factory mondraker team, will be Brook and frick can’t spell his name lol Thuoto?? lol 😂 sorry kid.
Agreed.
+ Ronan Dunne
Obviously they are running specialized tubes 😂
Factory team is Pinkerton, Norton, Dunne.
Only question left is whether Farina sticks with MS or moves to Mondraker factory team??
Honestly I think the Specialized logo on Frameworks team is just Neko being smart. He knows he can bring them on as a small sponsor and get the team supplied with loaner ebikes, road bikes, XC bikes, enduro bikes if needed.
Fox is one of those companies thats all or nothing they are the same in moto. Either all fox head to toe or nothing.
One of Specialized upper management of over 2 decades moved back to WNC within the last couple years & Neko's known him a long time.
Whatever arrangement they have is well thought out & rest assured Fox ,Neko & the Big S are all in concert or it wouldn't be there.
I may have heard from a friend of a friend that Eleonora was not confortable with the team vibes... so there is that..
That used to be the case. Sam Hill on helmets and goggles, Jack Moir on helmets, goggles and protection. And also for moto, Pro Circuit on Bell helmets and Fox gear
perhaps an Spez engineer helped him along the way with some layouts/simulations ??
