Some cool tech on Loic’s lower clamps. Split clamp design. Similar to some options we’ve seen on motocross bikes. A good article and test from Luxon about split clamps. Not sure if MTB right side up forks will have the same benefit, but a good read. https://www.luxonmx.com/blog-luxon-split-triple-clamps-flex-advantage.h…

love this question! i'd make an IROC for downhill (at least what i remember IROC (international race of champions) from the 80's being...maybe it still exists?). X number of venues with X number of pre-selected racers run the same bike, suspension and tire manufacturer. each venue bike, suspension and tires change. brakes, cockpit and drivetrain can be whatever they want the series has no UCI affiliation. example - val di sole, everyone is on specialized, ohlins and maxxis - les gets, commencal, fox and schwalbe - MSA trek, rockshox and continental - last race of the season is riders choosing...

I also think something is being overlooked here. If this is a race... Held in Wales... That frequently experiences delays or cancellations due to wind and rain. How in the name of the lord are you gonna run this safely? As much as I love some do or die shit... I was hoping Wales would go more in the tech direction and less in the whole 80-90 footers direction after last year's cancellation. This is beyond like safety and design bias, just logistically as a showrunner this feature seems like a nightmare. It's the kind of thing you build for...

This feature has completely deterred me and many others from watching. The crazy thing is the gap isn't that huge in the scheme of things but, the shit transition, lack of safety and just shear uglyness of the feature is not pleasant. I understand it is hard line but this it putyourlifeontheline. I hope this is the last time we see this stuff.

Old person here. Rampage is too groomed.It's so 'mid' now. 90ft jumps are not the norm for pro's......not even the darkfest crew. I know some of the 'boyz'. Most of them are scared shitless. *You're The event is owned and run by RB. The diggers (some of the Dyfi crew) are contracted to build/maintain the course. Dh is a minority sport.....but that does'nt mean that there should be a high chance of death for a minor mistake. Both Bk's and Jims jumps could have gone very,very,very badly wrong.It's bike racing.....not Beyond Thunderdome (ask your Dad). I'm going back to my...

To dig this up, suffered a crash in my sight lap last weekend before the actual dh race that day. Ended up in the hospital Sunday night and ultimately got a surgery first thing Monday to fuse my c4,5,6. The spinal ortho surgeons at Harborview were adamant that the leatt brace did not make my injury worse and likely prevented it from being worse. It is expected I will make a full recovery minus the 10% loss in flexibility in my neck due to the fuse. I’ll be pushing these things on my friends for the rest of my life...

The rules around this seem very ambiguous (or people at the UCI aren't clear on what telemetry actually is). By the letter of the rules it seems fine but I know Nick at Downamics/MucOff Younguns has inquired several times about running our data acquisition systems (which have no transmission ability) for race runs and has been refused. It's now a situation where you can run electronic suspension which collects data AND acts on it while not being able to just collect data. Feels a bit inconsistent to me.

Maybe it’s the angle of the picture, but with the speed they’ll be coming down on that ramp, the flat part before the takeoff looks like a weird flow breaker.

Would y'all want to see a 15-minute VitalMTB video with back-to-back testing on a section of brutal rocky chunder with different pedal kickback theories to see if the Ochain really works as advertised?

I was born in Poland, but I grew up in California....spent 40 years there. Now I'm back in Poland...as luck would have it....in Bielsko-Biała. For the past 3 years I've been riding most of the trails that'll be used at the event. Prior to that, my resume includes mostly Skegg's Point and Braille in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a run down Mt. Lemmon outside of Tuscon, and some Tapia Canyon (Castaic, California). I'm old and mostly ride motorcycles with MTB stuff peppered in here and there. Nevertheless, I think I have some unique credibility here. So if you will endulge...

The important part for all of us to remeber is that its all just individual opinion, about adults playing on bikes in the woods, none of it means anything really. We dont have all the info, we dont know exactly whats being tested and ridden, or how, why or if it even works, we are just guessing. Its cool stuff, thats really the end of it.

Does it looks like like oval chainstay is on Amaury’s frame compared to rectangle? Also an axle mount to chainstay option vs stock is mounted to seatstay.
