Greg Minnaar doesn't fit his bike which is why it keeps getting longer every year! He should just get a 540mm reach V-10 made special for him with 480mm chainstays and be done with it!

I think that is a pretty useless feature on a fork. Mid speed compression would be much more interesting to prevent brake diving.

I'm pretty light at 60kg and have trouble getting full travel out of my Dorado even with the IRT so that's why I mentioned having a coil version.

I think it'll be 20x110 boost with shorter offset and IRT standard in the Dorado Pro. The only way they could make it better would be to offer a coil option everything else is already awesome!

Great comparison. Though what I'd really like to know is when is the Giga 290 coming out, haha!

My issue with centerlock is a) you have to tighten it super tight or it comes loose and b) they is always a bit of play which is super annoying. Next wheels I will be back to trusty old 6 bolt!

That's the problem with single crown forks. The longer the travel the worst it gets. It's why I only ride dual crown forks.

What size frame is he running? I am guessing it isn't an XL even though he is tall enough for it. Also missed what pressure he runs on his front tyre. I do find it weird he runs the same pressure front and back on his freeride setup given wheelsize is different... Interesting that the 2021 fox40 now comes with different crown offsets.

I weigh 60kg/132lb and I prefer a stiffer fork which is why I don't run a single crown fork. I have had a Yari and a 36 and can say the flex under braking is terrible! From the reviews I have read the new 38 and Zeb aren't much better. I will stick to my Dorado for now.

Results decide whether or not you are the GOAT. Greg Minnaar has most wins because a) he is a great rider and b) because he has been around the longest. Gwin has acheived more in a shorter amount of time. Vouilloz achieved even more and then retired at 25! Opinions have little to do with it.Peaty as the former GOAT...

How is Greg Minnaar the GREATEST OF ALL TIME? Because he has 22 world cup wins? He doesn't have the most world championships nor the most worldcup overalls! Aaron Gwin has 5 overalls and so does Nicolas Vouilloz. Bruni has the same number of world championships as Greg and Nicolas Vouilloz has 5 more or 7 if you count the...

It isn't a model year if they come out with a 2020 bike a 2021 bike and a new 2021 bike all in the space of a year. It's the same model the DH one but with different geo, kinematics, spec and colours!

You claimed that Commencal hadn't stopped making model year bikes. I disagree and gave the example of their DH bike. Yes they still put up year numbers but there is a 2020 model, a 2021 model a NEW 2021 model etc. Thus it is only year model on paper not in real life.
