Shame no 9point8. Have mine for 1&1/2 year no play works same as first day. Simple mechanical solutions easy to service. All service videos are on YouTube. Option to adjust travel with spacer or offset adapter. What more to ask.

Fox Added a reply to How many riders in the 2017 Lourdes World Cup DH Top 10 will be on 29ers?
4/13/2017 10:29am I'd love to see some in the field. I'd be really excited to see one in Lourdes. I remember the BCD carbon bikes well when they were still 26" and very few people were using carbon in mountain bike applications for anything more than XC. Alex Morgan was and probably still is way ahead of his time. I now ride...

bturman Liked a product review Review - 2017 Devinci Django from Vital MTB Test Sessions
2/24/2017 12:50pm
The Devinci Django was born as a completely new bike in early 2016, first with 27.5-inch wheels and later joined by 29-inch version. As the brand's first attempt to create a truly worthy 120mm travel trail bike, we couldn’t wait to see if the Django was ready to be unchained. We headed to Tucson, Arizona for Vital MTB Test Sessions to give it a proper go in a wide variety of terrain. Highlights Carbon DCM-G frame 29-inch wheels 120mm (4.7-inches) of rear wheel travel // 130mm (5.1-inches) fork travel Split Pivot suspension design Tapered headtube Internal cable routing FRG Cup...

Fox Added a reply to Is straighter and faster really that bad for a World Cup track?
1/19/2017 8:42am I agree with A.P., Jergen Benke, and others who have said there is definitely a place for high speed ripping. If the track or trail isn't technical enough, go faster, and it will get a different kind of technical than rock gardens or tight turns. Think Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. No room for error because things are happening extremely...

If MT doesn't break them, it is highly unlikely anyone will. He is a monster. Good work Race Face. A little pricey for an aluminum rim offering but what the heck, these are the days of $350 cassettes, $2800 wheel sets and $3500 frames.

Super fun times. An amazing situation with a private landowner who gave us permission to use the land. He was a miner, so trail construction was up to us entirely, and we were on a mission to make the gnarliest DH trails we could- the steepness of these trails is not appreciated in the videos- it was really, really steep with a lot crux tech moves and drops. Other locals would routinely try to chase us off the land but we just referred them to the owner. Its really funny to see how short and high these bikes seem to...

I didn't want to ride a Specialized until I rode one of these. Now I own one and I like it. They are very fast bikes. They handle very well, ripping up corners and plowing through both wide open rough and tight technical terrain. They will likely make you faster if you can fit on one. I know 5 riders on these and so far they are holding up well to race condition abuse by some large, very strong riders. Specialized is a corporate monster that probably has higher profit margins on all their products than most in the MTB...

I can vouch for MT's ability to break stuff! If he says they're strong, they are. Nice write up!
