1/24/2021 4:20pm Mullet force is really good at being a missile downhill but still being a good trail bike. I’ve thrown my mullet wheels on my medium sensor (high setting with a 150 fork) and that thing is an absolute blast. Corners better than anything I’ve ever ridden and is super quick/nimble. The mullet setup inspires a feeling of confidence that you’ll...

1/24/2021 3:08pm Side note: weird that he’s running an Arch cb7 rim on the back of a DH bike. Pretty sure it’s got like a 26mm internal width and weights something super miniscule.

1/24/2021 3:05pm In response to the angle discussion: from my own experience, at 6’-0” (183cm) I’ve had my fastest race results and strava times on a bike with a sub 465mm reach (Large mullet GT force, same 150F, 150R setup that maes and masters run). Also spent a lot of time on an S4 spesh enduro (487mm reach) and find that its...

1/24/2021 1:51pm I’m sure I’ll get some hate for this but besides seat tube angle, I think most people are running/wanting too slack and long of a bike. Enduro magazine (a solid European mtb publication) did a test of what most ews riders are on and found many of the riders ranging from 5’10” to 6’2” were all on bikes with ~65°...

Please stop talking about frigging tyre. Noone wants to be reading a debate about how specialised makes their tyres as everyone knows they suck.

"The old butcher was great, good sidewall, good compund, rivalled maxxis. The new stuff is bobbins, flimsy carcass and a rubber compound that is far too hard. The tread patterns are good though, hillbilly is good as is the slaughter. Makes you wonder what on earth they are doing in the tyre department at specialized, great design then ruined by the bean counters?" To my understanding Specialized changed tire factories around 2014/15. Previously their tires were produced by CST/Cheng Shin, aka by Maxxis. I don't know where they moved production to, but obviously the new tire plant can't make rubber...

So now that Emily Batty and half the field in all disciplines are on Canyon I’m going to give them a call and take my chances. Next years default answer for any move has to be Canyon. Crazy... They must be selling a lot of bikes!

Updates to DVO's lineup are coming. Air shock looks to have a new piggyback reservoir and unspecified changes to the Onyx fork were shown briefly on a recent video from Mo & Hannah's channel. I assume by "next year" they mean 2021. Jump to 2:30 mark in video https://youtu.be/fbgFnJyLjhc

"...a completely new chassis designed, developed and manufactured in Andorra by Production Privée at the Forestal Technology Centre." So, sort of both?

trexyz it was in the huck to flat where there was some buckling, not on the first ride... To me a more important thing about the Atherton bikes is the validation of the frames to be sold to te he public considering they offer custom geometries. You of course don't validate each and every frame, so how is that covered? The sold rule should also be taken out of DH racing if you ask me. Hardly anyone buys a DH bike anyway...
