An amazing emerging talent in DH racing. I look forward to seeing her progress in the elite category.

10/7/2018 2:43am If 700mm is the new rule then most 584mm DH tires will be too big as well. A Schwalbe Magic Mary measures in at 708mm. Back to 558mm wheels I guess or tire manufacturers will have to make lower sidewall DH tires to be under 700mm!

All it shows is that slack seat angles allow the tire to hit the saddle at full bottom out. Seriously brands need to fix this ASAP and not force riders to run a) the saddle slammed forward and b) force the rider to run the saddle super high!

Fred_Pop Added a reply to Dual crown forks in enduro soon?
8/24/2018 11:20pm I recently switched my 160mm Yari Fast Shox 622mm wheeled fork for a Dorado and am really happy. The fork flexes less under braking, is way more sensitive to small bumps and I can plow into anything without worrying. Oh and personally I think it makes the bike look better too. Totally worth the added 1kg!

8/24/2018 11:13pm Tight turns can be overcome at speed with a little sliding. At low speed nose manualing or pivoting can overcome that. So no reason why a you can't use a dual crown. Also if you are hitting the upper crown with your knees then your bike is way too short!

8/22/2018 9:55am That was so sick! I would love to see a Moto Rampage! And yeah bring back a 300mm fork and DH bike!

Most bikes nowadays work well and come with decent parts. The thing I find that is missing is a) geometry Some brands like Pole/Nicolai have sussed it out and other brands now offer XL and XXL frames that are in the same range. But there are still a lot of brands making frames with slack seat angles and long seat tubes when we now have +170mm dropper posts. Also please stop building trail bikes with +66º headangles! A slack bike with a nice long toptube and steep seat angle will climb great without the front end wandering around! It will...

Sick video! I agree that an ebike allows you to ride more without any real downsides. My next bike might be an e!

Wish someone would make another moto style rear end ala Rotec from the 90s! That sender looks cooler without the seatstays!

5/31/2018 7:57am Greg Minaar has a new V10 and it is longer than the previous v10 in XXL with a 475mm reach. Are you really surprised? What surprises me is how long he has been riding on bikes that are way too small for him! The guy is a factory sponsored pro and only now is finally figuring out the a bike...

5/28/2018 12:34pm As a owner of a Pole EVOLINK 176 with a 1340mm wheelbase, 63º headangle, 460mm chainstays and a reach of 520mm I can say hands down this is the best bike I have ever had! I'm 180cm (5'11"). My bike is an L. Sure an Pole in size XL (535mm) or a nicolai geometron in XXL (555mm reach) would probably...

5/26/2018 12:13pm I think the negative stem setup looks sick! So moto. I been riding 10mm stem for a while now on my Pole EVOLINK176 (their old DH frame) and love it!
Fred_Pop Added a reply to 2018 Racing Rumors
5/26/2018 12:10pm I sure hope so! It will allow shorter people to size up in frame! Now they just have to add some rear tire clearance and come out with an aluminium version and I might consider getting one

5/6/2018 4:03am If someone lent it to me I would definitely ride it! It looks like it could be a whole lot of fun! Would I buy it? Not likely, way too expensive for what it is!
