9/28/2021 6:11pm Dak had a good year but Trummer has had 2 even better ones with the team. He finished 13th overall this year and has been in the top 5 in a few races. I don't think they'll be looking to cut him loose!

8/26/2021 9:57pm Yeah, kinda looks like it is meant to be a big gap with a whale tail b line to me. I'm not a fan of timber features on DH courses so I would rather they just built it as a double/triple option out of dirt. I won't be riding it though, so my opinion counts for squat! It'll be interesting...

8/18/2021 5:17pm Bummer for Gwin, but stoked for Austin. He had a good result in Maribor and 100% deserves that spot at worlds.

super shitty situation, for these young aspiring pros to get named to the worlds team, and now someone is gonna get flicked. Not cool.

JamesR_2026 Added a comment about product review RXF38 m.2
7/25/2021 4:56pm
Happy to see suspension reviews from someone close to my size! (182cm/95kg) I'm running an RXF36 coil at 160mm at the moment and I don't have any desire to size up to the 38. My previous fork was a Lyrik at 180mm and I didn't find it to be too much of a wet noodle. I think all these 38mm forks are a bit overkill. Probably ideal for ebikes, which is what they are really designed for. I would agree with Johan on the Ohlins damper. It really works amazingly well and isn't too fussy with settings. If you are...

7/15/2021 4:48pm
In the last generation Rage, the Al version had slightly different geo as they marketed it as the park bike, with the carbon one as the race bike. I hope they do an Al version with this geo this time!

7/14/2021 6:25pm It would be ideal if it was a 2 year deal with Canyon and he's negotiating a new one right now. Jack's really made lemonade out of the lemons he got given by Cannondale! While on ex IFR riders, Dean Lucas is in year 3 with Scott now so probably looking for a new contract too. His result at Les...

7/14/2021 6:09pm Looking at how many "tactical" and firearms pages Gwin follows on IG, I suspect gun laws might be a factor in that change as well.

7/12/2021 9:44pm Agreed man. I don't think it's the bike. Neko isn't far off his usual results. A big part of winning in DH is having your head in the right place. Dak is on fire at the moment and he is riding with wicked confidence. Gwin is still trying to get his mojo back after the bad run of injuries. Listen...

6/22/2021 5:30pm Yeti isn't paying him to ride bikes they don't make. Apparently dentists don't DH! Nobody is making a living in DH or enduro out of prizemoney. From the looks of things, not many people are making a good living from sponsorship money, especially in DH. It's all pretty depressing really...

LOL - slideshow is up - https://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/2021-Leogang-World-Cup-Downhil… we'll be doing one big post-race show from now on. if you listened to their "3 faves" slideshow, you can hear how haggard they are at races. with track walk video and RAWs covering the bulk of the action and Instagram showing everything nearly instantly, the daily slideshow format is just too gnarly anymore. this show is 101 photos long, so you'll have plenty of homework.

4/29/2021 5:37pm If we really want to be scientific, maybe we should use SI units and be talking in kPa... In all seriousness though, I don't mean to disrespect you. I've read and enjoyed a lot of your thought provoking posts and analysis. Doesn't mean I won't argue with you though! On the contrary. I'm more likely to argue with someone I...

4/28/2021 8:19pm In isolation the smaller wheel will create a smaller circle when leaned over the same amount. Tied together in a system like a bicycle they will be forced to carve a similar radius so if the smaller rear wheel follows the line of the front it will have to scrub a bit. This is one of the mechanisms put forward...
