We have entered the part of silly season where people float (and debate!) wild speculation that a 42 year old Dan Atherton returns to downhill (last result was 57th at Crankworx in 2018) on a new rubber band bike to chase a $100k podium. Perhaps we need an award for most ridiculous rumor every year. 🤣🤣🤣

Oli was riding in Thredbo last week with Frotha. Broke a finger apparently. I did see his girlfriend wheeling away an Orbea ebike....

Danny was doing a meet and greet thing at the bikepark I worked when he was at Saracen......which they spectacularly failed to advertise. So I basically spent all day being his personal chaffeur/hang out. He has possibly the driest wit of anyone I've ever met, super down to earth and does not tolerate bs. Top lad.

The numbers I pulled are from the UCI website. They show DH riders as: 2019 - 134 2020 - 156 2021 - 147 2022 - 238 2023 - 222 2024 - 227 From what I can tell, these are riders associated with UCI registered teams (standard and elite). My guess is there are additional riders (privateers, national federation, riders with enough points but aren't on a team, etc) that aren't in the UCI data.

sure hope kirk gets to race if he wants to! his story was one of the most interesting in '24 IMO.

With the arrival of 2025 and big changes underway, here's a quick look back at how team and rider numbers have evolved over the years. All data pulled from the UCI website (https://www.uci.org/riders/mountain-bike-riders-teams/1V5hGPnEvXzbIqkjU…). The number of teams peaked in 2023 with a total of 184 (128 standard, 56 elite). 2024 saw the second highest number of teams on record with 163 (112 standard, 51 elite). The bike bubble bursting was already beginning to have an effect going into the 2024 season, even with the upcoming Olympic games. The growth in teams from 2021 (119 teams) to 2023 (184 teams) likely...

Danny harts definitely on norco I've seen him ride the bike at his bike park

That’s Greg, name tag on the left side.

Atherton A150 and A200 “soon”

Clearly not. Download the catalog yourself and check.

Sorry Shimano, but there's more: Shimano Deore XT Di2 M8250-12 GS shadow+ Shimano Deore XT Di2 M8250 Shimano Deore XT M8200-12 30T Shimano MT800 pressfit MTB Shimano Deore XT M8200-12 / 9-45 Shimano M8100-12 And M8200 brakes. So at least XTR and XT will be moving to the new lever shape?

There's also this in the regular bike catalog. The text which has had a filter applied, when copied, spits out this: R.DERAILL. Shimano XTR Di2 M9250-12 GS shadow+ SHIFTLEV. Shimano XTR Di2 M9250 CRANKSET Shimano XTR M9200-12 Carbon 32T BOTTOM BR. Shimano MT900 pressfit PA29 MTB SPROCKET Shimano XTR M9200-12 / 9-45 CHAIN Shimano M9100-12 So that's Shimano's first(?) carbon cranks confirmed? And the brake name is in full view, the new protos we've seen aren't saint? M9220 seems it would be the 4 piston variant.

remember that Boss came out with new suspension the other day? well it seems like they want to make brakes as well

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aJ4m1E7tJ/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0 Can anyone find more about these new Lewis mtb brakes for, alegedly, year 2024? This is the screenshot from Dale Stone's video, but i could not find anything more on bilibili's website... Should be a bigger departure from TrickStuff's now....
