Yeah, I'm slightly prejudiced against specialized mostly because of what they used to be. But when my sister asked for a bike recommendation I steered her towards the status. It's got a lot going for it.

I am a longtime Kona fan, but there is not enough difference nor benefit b/t this and the Status that I would recommend someone buying this over the Specialized. Especially not for having to deal with a press fit BB, weaker brakes and $1400 more.

Y'all had fun, and that's what really matters. It was fun to watch.

Is getting passed really that much of an ego blow? If so, don't get old.

At 1:10 he loses the bike, slips, WHACKS a big tree and then completely misses the grass camel hump out of the trees and slides down to the middle outside line and lost all his speed. If he doesn't mess up there, how much does he win by???

Holy heck, I knew he's been...more

But how does one remain injury free riding like this?
I guess that's the art of racing: deciding how much Amaury or Greg to put in the mix. Turning the Amaury knob to 11 clearly worked this time around...

Dude hasn't been injury free since 2019. Brace yourself, I think were going to see some wild shit from this man.

So this is insane. Some of the lines near the trees could be deadly

Very impressive - I know Cannonball well and this leaves me feeling like an asthmatic sloth nursing a weapons-grade hangover

This guy has a ABSOLUTE THROTTLE on his bike on lips and out of berms... Pulls double outta absolutely everything. Never missed a line, nice riding

Nope! Welcome in from the cold...

Yea this is insane. Looks like some of the gaps near the middle require ultra precision but the last step down looked massive. If tricks weren’t so important at rampage Gee would still do super well

What kind of sorcery is this? He forgot about the women.

really love that chris king engraving on the hubs, they should do that for all their hubs

holy shit thats a sick bike. i want it.
