All

Am I the only one recognizing that Kev seems to be running ODI Grips with only Ergon End-Caps?

I'm no engineer, but that top shock mount on the rocker link looks like it will see a ton of rotation. I wonder if they have needle bearings or something to help with friction during rotation. I've run RWC needle bearings on a few bikes and in my experience, there is a tangible benefit.

Wait but I thought driving an electric car was good for the environment

New here but not new elsewhere necessarily. The reviews from Vital are just so good compared to other review sites. I think it builds trust and I will be back to read/watch more when it comes time to purchase again. Ebike/non-ebike aside, the quality and depth of product review on this site is fantastic- thumbs up from me.

Holy fuck this is a bad take.

Invalid opinion is invalid.

Pretty relevant considering his celebrity in the MTB world. That said, appears you cared enough to comment.

Superb Review.. definitely influenced my decision to pick one up last week! 115psi on the fork though for a 215lb rider.. damn. I don't see how anyone rides these 36's at or especially OVER the recommended settings. I'm around the same weight and ended up 15-20psi below foxes recommendation on my Ibis HD5 36 and this one is shaping up the same way after 3 rides. I guess I don't ride hard enough.. haha. I am REALLY digging this bike so far though. At 5'7" I haven't had much luck with 29ers and bought this one with the full intention...

Has a spectator been appointed to ride the bike of anyone who crashes through this section yet?

Calling it now, Thibaut Daprela comes out swinging to start 2022.

Isn't that picture missing about 55 other riders

To say I’m stoked to listen to this would be an understatement. You’re a serious inspiration Theo, and the downhill scene is lucky to have you! Thanks for all you’ve done and continue to do Theo!
