I wonder when we will have someone dying because of some overrun on an exposed section of trail. I try to deactivate assistance on exposed trails because sometimes scary stuff happened when I was off the bike and there was some input to the pedals and the Levo would just want to escape by itself.

I do think that it is ok, to keep the competition alive, and having a "small" distance in points between 1st and the rest is healthy for the overall. And I also think that the guys that does not qualify should get some points, most of those are not in big teams, and do an effort to be there, some...

170 mm enduro bike vs 130 mm trail bike - and the power meter is the judge! We rode a test loop with two very different bikes (YT Capra and YT Izzo) to figure out where each one excels, which one is fastest, and maybe answer the question of which one you should get for the kind of riding you do. This wasn't meant to be a comparison of just the frames, but rather the complete bikes with the appropriate build for each intended intended use case, to put some numbers to the trade-offs you make when speccing tires, suspension...

And I am impressed with Oisins result on regular non-mud tyres. He was running Kryptotals front and back on a track that definitely warranted mud or at least intermediate spikes… What a talent

this makes no sense to me. what happens during cautions and red flags in other racing sports? competitive advantages are often lost by those out front. there was significant interference on the track. she deserves a re-run if she protested (which it sounds like she did). before the "pedestrian" she could have the run of her life at the bottom and earned another spot or two at the bottom earning 5 or 10 additional points. they all add up. if this was an olympic run, would there be a re-run? 100%. UCI claims to be olympic-level racing.

Richie was someone I thought lost alot of time with tear offs. It was very noticeable when he had to stop cranking to sit and pull a tear off.

Sounds like he doesn’t like not being protected and the fact he could crash in qualifying and he could have a massive hole to climb out of for the overall. To me mud races are fun because anyone can win not the teams who spend the most money having an advantage.

I totally disagree with Brunis words in that video of Adding WEIGHT to DH BIKES - PIT BITS, when he says that he wants a fast race start with the good stuff and not a mudder/carnage.. he is clearly aligned to spectator friendly . Dont get me wrong, he is a boss, can ride any condition.. but mudder/carnage will make it skill based more than reckless-deathgrip-kamikaze type of race..

Differing opinions are welcome, but I've studied the reviews a lot and when you dig deep down, I just think the Bosch is a more compelling product. It seems to have better power application, notably better battery efficiency (which effectively negates the DJI 1# weight advantage), less obtrusive noise, better warranty and aftermarket support, chainring protection, etc. Then you add in the CX-R improvements (i.e. auto shifting, hard wired shifter, lighter motor, etc.) and it's quite an impressive package. The DJI still rules in terms of fit and finish into the frame and outright power production, and probably the screen...
