New Orbea DH bike?
Seems like 4 bars..
It has a chain so not the new Orbea. The Orbea is the bike behind it I think & doesn't look like it has a gearbox so is probably a Rallon as others have said.
that is the new orbea, that's FMD's new signing darragh ryan lol. the bike behind it is deak's V10, and the bike with the sock even has orbea wheels on it
And front triangle differs a lot of a rallon. Burlier and bladed top tube .
Looks almost like a split pivot?
Wait, Deaks is on Santa Cruz now? When did THAT happen?
My mistake, was thinking Orbea were going gearbox for some reason, mind on other things 😳
It still says Focus on Instagram (for the Deakinator) although they don't have a DH bike so...
If you go to 2.44 you can see that although they don't make a DH bike they do make decals. 😆
he built that one 4 months ago and had the previous gen one built in 2023, he explained it in the video that since focus and santa cruz are under the same company and he wanted a DH bike he just gets a v10 with a focus paintjob/stickers
Yup, Focus is part of the Pon umbrella.
Oquo wheels and the printing on the downtube looks a lot like the OO Lab logo... Definitely an Orbea![]()
Brooks bike getting close
Gee I wonder where Elise Empey is going. Her robotic style was on point and she lugged that bike to solid results
Camera guy seems more interested in the floor
Athertons with Luke wayman
Theo Erlangsen sits down with Loris Vergier to talk about his big move to Commencal Muc-Off:
Was going to post the same. Glad to see him back.
I lost a lot of respect for some of the top riders who crapped on him for his win. Minnaar in particular was whiny about it. Four years later we had riders whining that races were canceled due to weather.
Not that he’s racing anymore, but saw George Branigan on a Transition in Danny Harts latest video. I know there was talk of some other Kiwis being on Transition this year so maybe that could be what Brook is riding?
Whoooooosh! 🤣
From Wyn’s comment on the other site: “Still on GT as of now, and still have all my other sponsors also so can’t say I’m privateer, more just have my own program.”
Greg williamson on DJI AMflow?
I though he'll be at AON with Reece..
Gamux doesn't have any other bikes than the Sego DH bike so I'd imagine the team can ride whatever they want for day to day stuff.
I guess that would make sense but there are Ebikes that have both pinion and gates components, both of whom do support the AON I'm pretty sure.
@ridescotland sells them and has a hire fleet
Fearon off Forbidden - Source, instagram
This is very Sam Hill “thank you Nukeproof” -esque when everyone thought he was leaving. It doesn’t sound like Connor is actually saying he’s off the team?
Strait over their head...
