Re the drop that broke BK's Pivot... As has been said, it's a fairly steep/groomed landing. 100% still a massive impact upon landing... But not that insane when compared to the forces put through bikes by consumers. Think, 225lb dude at Whistler, doing a 15ft drop to a more flat landing. Probably as much energy being transferred into the frame as what BK did on the drop that broke his frame. Or same 225lb dude coming up short on a 20ft gap and casing hard. Again, probably similar or more energy than what's being driven through BK's frame on that...

Moi Moi pulled down his video and Spomer nuked the Fox info. Tech rumors forum bringing the heat this week.

i get where they're coming from, but for those of us who remember what was stated - this essentially confirms it was not a rumor.

More of the same and a day late. But it’s nice to not hear every swear word bleeped out. We’re all adults here https://youtu.be/rf7BDuo4NeM?feature=shared

Perhaps he needed to pivot after revealing BK's bike failure

😅 when your tire meets the down tube of your frame

I may or may not have seen this at Euro Champs last year.

Looks like Scott accidentally posted the yet-to-be-released Gambler's drawing to the geometry section of the current Gambler.

That same video from Moi Moi had Brooke's bike making a similar noise on landing that drop a few clips later. Brooke pulled over to inspect the frame.

If the Pivot is the only bike that breaks this week from that drop (which it likely will be at this point), then it's not a good look for Pivot. While hardline is an extreme use case, if all the other brand's bikes hold up, it shows that the Pivot is not as strong. For instance, there are guys like Bulldog, who probably outweighs BK by 30%+, coming off the same drop on his 'cheap' ARI frame and it's holding up. The Pivot frame is VERY light. I believe the lightest weight production frame (by far). I'm assuming Pivot engineers...

One year DMR fncked up and labeled all the lines as if you were cutting 10 mm of your bars. I.e. 780mm has a 750mm mark on both ends. The only problem was they were 10mm apart, not 5mm so a lot of people had bars 10mm marrower than expected

They're really going all out on making it completely different than the last X2. "See guys it actually is all new this time"

To be fair mate the S Series bikes have been out for 6 months now. You've had to be living under a massive rock to miss them

Probably not the super marketing boost they were hoping for.

I'll see your two boxes and raise you:

I worked at a dealer during that time too and it was absolutely as bad as the internet thought it was. I don’t buy the “pre-production” excuse. They all exploded, pretty much every SB5c and SB6c we sold. Front end, rear end, they all broke. At one point we had two bike boxes full of dead triangles.

So one reason why I'm hesistant to share breakages of bikes online is that stuff sticks around forever.....I worked for a Yeti dealer at that time when the "pre production" frames had thin chainstays which cracked very easily. But it was just that very small number of initial bikes, I think we sold 2 SB6's from the batch and yeah they broke but the dozens that followed were fine in that regard (not perfrect bikes but the chainstays were actually fixed). But that reputation definitely stuck with Yeti which is a shame since it was such a small number of...

Ahh, the 2015 Yeti approach. That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.

Seems like he actually just lowered the volume to the minium, because there is sound for me in that clip, had to raise it to 100% but. Doesnt sound very good
