Looked like the hsp bikes, besides the square edge eating ability, with the axle path it doesn’t stand riders up near as drastic as other designs on rebound. The others looked like they could have jacked their bars or stiffened the fork. Watching the other designs after the hsp bikes, the others had me remembering a “softride” suspension bike(catapult waiting to happen). Charge in to anywhere not thinking about getting spit out the front has to help immeasurably. Dying to try an HSP

7/6/2018 4:13pm Not sure if vital has anymore coverage this race than in the past or not. Seems like there’s more. Sooo good. Thanks

Been at least 20 yrs since I’ve said “the gt bike looks amazing”. Pivot placement seems like the happy medium for bump eating/braking

Jesse looked like he’s on a cruiser. Smooth as. Tordo handled those roots with ease. Canyon torque looks fun

Venue looks amazing! EWS still killing it with new/crazy tracks. Def looks like it has Sam Hill written all over it. Sneaky inside lines, sketchy off-cambers, plenty of roots and open loose sections.

Digging that cc feature. Good one. All the 9ers working well on this course . Little extra control with the hsp bikes and Steve Peat. He looked stable as compared to before and after riders

6/19/2018 8:36pm Yes you’re probably right. I like their line up. Wouldn’t mind a tourque. Sender 27.5 doesn’t have the cleanest lines though. Link looks unfinished compared to others and tubes could use more shape especially the seat and chainstays. Just comparing to YT, specialized, Santa Cruz. Sender does seem to work well though

Yes. They're great for getting new people into the sport....more people is better lobbying power against hikers and equestrians right? They're also great for getting pretty deep quickly so you can dig your ass off for an afternoon. They're also great for towing little kids to the top of the trail so they can cruise down. They're also great for less fit people to mix in and enjoy a group ride They're also great for finding new trails

Did I say they do better downhill than a regular bike? They don't but good ones are pretty close these days. Look up Marshal Mullen. You're right though. Climbing is fun especially when you're fit. Still not a reason to hate on e-bikes. All I'm saying is look at the positives and not only the negatives and also realize that other people are not in YOUR specific situation.....fitness level, disability, age, access to lifts/ shuttles etc etc etc Just for the record. The bike in my shed that sees the majority of my rides is a hardtail. Second to that...

Going off the modern definition of a "motorbike" they are not the same thing. There is no throttle for one thing. They don't roost, they don't make noise, there is no internal combustion engine, they only "assist" WHEN you pedal, they cut off at under 20mph etc, etc, etc To include it in the same breath as say a CRF 450 R is plain ignorant or intentionally misleading for the sake of being against them. Having spent a good amount of my life on a dirt bike and now enough time on an e-bike to have a solid opinion I...

No offense but if you cant tell the difference between an e-bike and a motorcycle it's you who's the idiot.

6/18/2018 3:15pm Maybe canyon is after the throwback market. That proto looks like it uses the same construction methods/design as Palmers fsr dh bike circa mid 90’s. Canyon seems to have their numbers and kinematic dialed and all their racers are doing well on them but those are some ugly lines and cobby industrial looking constructions. Detail and smooth lines are seriously...

6/16/2018 12:46am Can never have enough suspension , especially if ya run a ground. Could’ve used our fancy toys then. I may single handedly been responsible for the introduction of quails . Luca should thank me now. A nomad should suffice

It looks like a video of a skilled rider riding a really heavy bike. Reminds of that old Mr. Heavyfoot skit from Kids in the Hall.

6/14/2018 8:17pm The sport was healthy then. It was F1 level almost more than today. You had to have custom stuff then, sport was advancing so fast .That was the first of 6 pages(pre qualification days). 188 starters. Was digging thru my paperwork last week to redo my work resume and just happened to find that and it being the very first...
