1/13/2026 2:40pm If only Aero was that simple. Plenty of DH teams have tested in the past (most recently FMD and Canyon) but NONE have taken it further than that. There are just too many variables in DH. For example anything that helps with straight-line will have a massive negative when there is any kind of cross wind or need to turn.

1/13/2026 2:30pm You're forgetting about the existence of air. World cup DH races don't happen in a vacuum chamber. Wind resistance is more favorable to a person with a larger mass to surface area ratio (generally speaking, the larger riders). Loic Bruni is going to be less affected by wind resistance than Jackson Goldstone. To think about it another way, if they both go skydiving, Loic's terminal velocity is going to be much higher than Jackson's. They won't fall at the same rate, because air exists.

1/13/2026 2:30pm This is objectively wrong. La Thuille DH track is 1.4 miles, and the winning run was 3' 27", so the average pace was ~24mph.

1/12/2026 11:18am Exactly!!! Even Palmer wore a skinsuit and visor free helmet. Palmer. On tech, I'm excited to learn more about the Forbizzo. It might be the motivation I need to go down-country. And just to poke the bear, I'm assuming the new Demo release should be in March, along with Sram and Brembo. Bikes are supposed to be available here around then.

1/12/2026 11:17am Can’t go off what’s been done in the past as UCI changed the date to Nov 15th. Presumably so contracts can end then as well instead of Jan 1 and riders that have new teams can start with the new product earlier.

1/12/2026 12:37am Aero will come. There is so much aero to be gained on a DH bike. Crying foul over the Fox speed suits is pretty silly, seeing how tight kits have gotten over the years. They just did it better than everyone else. Someone will probably think body armour is creating poor aero profiles under tight jerseys and start sculpting those too. I'm waiting for someone to find a way around the moto visor rule or try to reshape one in order to find some aero gain that is surely there. Style before tenths of a second! It's such a shame...

1/10/2026 12:20pm Appreciate the kind words 🙏 that genuinely means a lot. We try. We keep trying. And yeah, when I say we, I really do mean me. Still just one bloke doing everything: product, riders, logistics, emails at stupid o’clock, the lot. No staff, no big safety net. Just belief and stubbornness. The industry doesn’t make it easy for small independents. The big dogs have deeper pockets and louder voices, but that was always kind of the point. Do cool shit, build something authentic, and if it ruffles a few feathers along the way, so be it. I’m proud that Viris...

1/10/2026 12:18pm I think the other racers could learn a thing or two from Aaron with how he conducts himself. this interview is a prime example of a professional athlete getting the news out about new deals, and letting us in behind the scenes so to speak of how these deals come together and how it can work in a race season. Kudos to Aaron, Frameworks team and Vital for providing this. Good luck on the season ahead!

1/9/2026 8:22am I heard Vital Global Media made a compelling offer of $100 cash money, a demo bike SantaCruz may or may not have forgotten about and one set of signed Dak custom bars!
