Max is like that with all the French racers though, he's basically been the Don as far as French DH racing goes for almost 30 years.

Speaking of old, his former Global Racing teammate Sik Mik raced today. I haven't seen an interview of him as yet. We gotta hear from the legend.

Are some of you even fans…? Dude’s in his 40s and podiumed arguably the gnarliest race of the year. Thought he retired a few years ago?!?

+1, I am curious about that test too, especially owning both helmets. Otherwise, my D4 feels fantastic, but I haven's crashed on it (and I don't want to), so I can't exactly speak about it in terms of safety. It is very comfortable, but gives me some hamster cheeks. Before that, the helmet that felt most comfortable was the D2...

That new cert, I think started in late 2022, seems best of both worlds as you said (the addition of rotational and low speed for MOTO is great) and i'd be curious which DH/Bike helmets could pass that cert. German Bike Mag used to do an amazing protection shoot out in the lab, with all the tests and then rank the helmets-not sure they do it anymore. As someone that has been to the lab to test helmets, some of the results are shocking of how poorly some do-I wish that information was public. I think Virginia Tech is starting...

I've always been a fan of TLD, I've gone through maybe 6 of their helmets in my lifetime from the D2 up to the D4. I've unfortunately gone through a D4 and a Fox RPC in the last two years with both shells cracking. They both did their job, but the RPC seemed to transmit significantly more force through the foam and I felt the effects of the impact pretty heavily. The D4 on the other hand felt like the multiple layers of foam crushed in a way that slowed the impact significantly and I had no ringing in my...

This is a perfect example for people looking to put together and/or finance small regional teams. Demonstrates that corporate sponsorship allocations happen early fall. If you're young & looking for support for your racing, submissions for 2025 should have been submitted & follow up phone calls completed by now. Dorval/Commencal is actually doing right by fans & riders to announce this now. Demonstrates to racers coming up that you need to have finances & in order by now to be remotely successful. They recognized early on financial limitations were an issue, didn't drag it out & will give their riders...

We knew it was coming, but still sad to see. I'm afraid I think we'll see a few more of these announcements before the year is out.😪

Here's a pic of Dak's bike with a normal set of bars last season on Intense. Just for funsies, let's say he's got a 40mm rise bar, an extra 10mm of spacers under the stem, an extra 10mm spacer under the top crown, and a head tube that's 10mm taller than his new Mondraker. That would be the same bar-to-ground height as his new Fort Bill setup with 80mm bars, but no one in the universe would look at this and call it "normal." You would do a double take if you saw this pile-of-spacers bike setup in the pits...

There is pretty much only 4 size that you see across all bike categories (road to DH) for round seatpost: 27.2mm / 30.9mm / 31.6mm / 34.9mm and 27.2mm is barely used in MTB. I understand the point of 34.9mm for durability on longer dropper but weight creep up fast in that size. I think it's mostly the 30.9mm and 31.6mm that could be reduced to only 1 of the 2. 30.9mm is the better size if you need to shim a dropper in that size in a 34.9mm frame with a thicker 2mm shim compared to a 1.65mm thick...
