Reese Wilson in 2nd is nice to see.

Four wins in a row for the Demo is pretty wild. The engineers over at the Big S must be running out of champagne.

started a thread to discuss specialized team dynamics. boosh! https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/specialized-downhill-team-dynamics-…

i miss hand crafted memes. insta-upvote for you, sir. so is it time to discuss the speshy gravity team dynamic? or are we just gonna chalk it up to coincidence? personally i was trying to ignore it until they went 4 in a row... (with 2 diff riders)

Let’s just bring the Zerode g1 gear box design back. Someone make a lugged bike with DW dual chain and a Alfine di2 11speed

Torrential rain there now. Should make the track interesting tommorow. Won’t be dusty but lots of lines washed away.

Nice deals. And no, they aren't, my V5 Bronson is the best 27.5 trail bike ever made. 🙃

From Charlie's video, rumors they are reworking the old track to make it usable again. It would be fucking rad, the old track was sick.

damn, thats a massive bummer

I love that chris Canfield is dropping weird bikes all the time now . Titanium DH bikes with gearboxes ? I’m Here for it.

Not trying to be a hater here, but I don't believe that ebike anything will ever be the pinnacle of mountain biking. To expand on this further I think unfortunately the format you laid out has some fundamental flaws. First if the bikes are too light riders will just carry or throw the bike up unmanageable obstacles on the climb portion, defeating the whole hard enduro side of the racing quickly. If the bikes are heavier and have more power are they just lighter motos at that point? Furthermore if one manufacturers motor is way better can the athletiscm of...

Wouldn't this just be a slower, less exciting version of hard enduro racing?

I swear this is SRAM propaganda: "It just doesn't make sense to add a more complex, harder-to-maintain, more expensive option that's locked to your frame and that no one has parts for." More complex to maintain? The Pinion service interval is 6,200 miles — people race entire seasons without touching their gearbox. Meanwhile derailleur drivetrains need constant adjustment and eat consumables, especially on ebikes. Gearboxes will take over ebikes within a few years — the motor negates the efficiency loss, the weight is low and centered, and ebike torque destroys conventional drivetrains anyway. DH won't be far behind (less unsprung...

oh, you mean that part? would be sneaky😅 but still can‘t see an exit from the front triangle, the e-bikes have one looking similar to the sb160.

F**k, here they come...
