Finally xgames getting with it and including mtb. The original xgames had it now its all skateboarding and Sal Masakala-donk talking shit. Xgames need slopestyle and 4X then the olympics need dh racing and enduro. That xc race was a joke at last olympics. Committeee a bunch of crumbumbs.

The super d at plattekill is a 4-5 minute track, mostly downhill with one slight uphill and 5-6 riders at the start. Enduro usually going up and down multiple times and a 24 minute race with 15-25 riders at the start.

Funky wheels you got there broby!! Doesnt the belt drive grow similar to a chain on a single pivot? Seems a bit heavy, I like my dh bikes sub 30 lbs but I like that carbon rock guard. Could use something like that myself, thanks for the idea.

Honestly I could give a loose turd who rode whatever bike at any race. I know giants are great enduro because have owned many. Every bike is good but only under a good rider. The bike makes no difference, must have a good pilot to have the results..

These citibikers are hilarious. They stop at every red light and ride around like clueless tourists. Couldn't believe I was blowing red lights, ripping thru traffic, on and off sidewalks. Great idea unleashing thousands of nyc noobs cyclists into traffic. I drive also so see both sides to the equation. Either way stay out my way citybikerz.

Citibikers are hilarious!!! I flying thru traffic yelling at people, punching rear view mirrors out, blowing red lights, you know the old school way to ride in nyc. These Citiriders are astonished when they see me blow a light in front of a cop and jump on sidewalk then jump back into traffic. Meanwhile they still standing there waiting for the light. Its def a dangerous program, lets unleash thousands of clueless tourists into nyc traffic. I drive too so know both sides of the equation. Better stsy out my way bike or car citiriderz.

Maybe if he did those two pro grts on east coast Mt Creek/Plattekill he would have already been dialed for rocky rough section as he reffers to. The season is soo short so better get over the lazy routine and start charging before season is over and he make another excuse video why he lost. Stating in june is stupid and thats all uci fault but he had plenty of races to warm up on that he passed on over training on his home track, comfort zone. Training out of you comfort zone is the best way to dial in...

No something is wrong with the demo because Gwin lost. Has to be a bike issue. Superman has no flaws.

No surprise to me Giant pulled top 3 spots. Their trance and reign bikes are made for enduro right out of the box. Not much out there that competes with them. Only problem is they are sooo conservative and only product minimum amount of frames each year. I used to work for Giant and every day customer wants a bike, Nope out of stock wait til next year lool. Ya right customer buying something else.

Nice looking wheels, maybe pain in the ass to change spokes. They said rachet drive system a bit vague. 3 pawl, 4 pawl, 6pawl what is it?

People love to hate on Gwin but thats the price you pay when your the best rider. He didn't have a terrible run, just not the scortcher we used to seeing. Lots of competition in top 20 riders ad today Gee was thefastest on 26s btw ad who cares about what bike ayone riders anyway. Its not the bike, its the pilot.

Interesting choices for enduro bikes, specially the rm flatline dh bike. I'd take the commencal meta but a bit heavy. Guess I stick with my 150mm travel 28-29lbs enduro bike. FSR Power!!!

Danny putting a fire up everyones arss. Maybe sticking with same bike for bunch of seasons the best move. Gwin has some catching up to do or is he playing games??? Danny looking tough to beat on this track so we see who can pull out the mega speed tmrw.

Its a troy lee pin stripe paint job people. Sponsors, advertising, work with us here. Gwin have a good shot at the podium but this not his type of track. Long pedally look for minar or peaty, maybe atherton if he in shape.

Looks like the storm took his season by trek last weekend at Plattekil. Those 165 shortie cranks might actually cost him a podium spot now thattimes aresoo close. I understand clearance an issue on these race bikes but 165 is for 5' riders or street bmx

I realy liked the 26" wheel data, the rest didn't make ay sense. How does this new expesive fx setup work forslow speed floping riders, or huck to flat 1997 throw back riders. We want ALL data fox. Comon lets get it going over there. I just bought a new fox air, did no adjustents and found out it did not work for my setup.

These ikons look great, fast rolling and give decent traction. Probably better for back tire in rough situations. I would only be interested in the 26" version but $80 haahaa you guys got banged out hard. The casing very small also as usual with maxxis, I would need these in 3.5. Weight is decent but kenda have better options at 3rd of the price with larger casing like the kozmik for example. My 2.0 kenda kozmik same volume as these 2.2 maxxis. Schwalbe also have better options.
