Richie Rude is 92kg How many? I have no idea, there isn't a lot of info on elite athletes and their weight ranges, but it isn't hard for someone muscular over 6ft to break 200lbs or be close. They aren't bumping 220, 230, etc, but approaching or over 200lbs isn't unreasonable for a 6ft tall or taller athlete especially in a discipline requiring as much gym time as DH or enduro.

Don’t be that guy ”I’ve got a secret… tee hee hee” It’s pathetic even for 7 year olds

Muscle mass and height can attribute to weight too. I know a lot of riders over 200lbs that are super strong and I’d be surprised if most elite DH or enduro riders over 6ft aren’t close to or over that. I am 210 due to pizza, beer and cake less than gym time, but that’s not everyone.

Flight attendant can be controlled by axs pods, yes. That's part of the reason there's only one pod design for Transmission with two buttons as it can be mounted to either side of the bar. The left hand controller can control the dropper and/or flight attendant.

Looks like he has an AXS controller on the left side and a mechanical shifter. Could he be controlling/adjusting the forks damping? Take that Loic

They are doing their testing VERY publicly. Given they put their most prized 'possessions', the factory WC team riders, on the prototypes, says they must have quite some confidence in the product. That it failed is neither here nor there, as I recall there was somewhat recently a case of a GT's headtube snapping off, wasn't that a production bike? Guessing what went wrong based off some blurry videos and pictures won't solve the issue in any way, I'm sure Pivot received tons of pictures of the failure and it's likely the frame has been shipped back to Phoenix for...

There’s a Fox embargo until April and/or May. Gone are the days when embargos are a defined date

so remi is also on that black 38, same as richies was seen. seems like a new chassis incoming maybe? last time fox did that it was when the 38 was coming.

I doubt it’s galvanic corrosion, I would bet money on it that the aluminum oxidized and wasn’t treated before they applied the adhesive to the substrate. There could be saponification happening, but usually that only happens with some amine compounds when interacting with a substrate containing zinc, so I highly doubt that’s the case. A common misconception is that aluminum doesn’t oxidized, but it actually oxidizes (depending on the alloy) within minutes when exposed to oxygen. Anyone familiar with bonding aluminum should be well aware of this. We glue exotic road cars and race cars together all day with no...

Ah. Just needs some Gorilla Glue and he will be back at the next race no problem.

There are videos on insta which show the frame close-up. Looks like a de-bond, the curved section is intact and full of dirt. Hopefully no serious injuries, nightmare crash.

Pic of BKs bike for anyone that didn’t see the replay

Snapped near the head tube. Tried to triple some jumps but came up short, 50/50'd the landing. Bummed to see that. I was really hoping for him to do well here.
