Danny Hart's GT Fury caught a lot of attention this past World Cup season as it had some notable structural frame modifications to increase compliance. Dale, Danny's mechanic, is a veteran frame engineer and had some great ideas on how to fine tune Danny's bike to work best for his style and to eke out the literal hundreths of a second needed to win races. If you haven't seen these mods, check out this quick section of Vital's PIT BITS video here. Let's dig into each modification. This will be extra fun because I was fortunate enough to be the...

Hey, I’m Ryan Burney. I’ve spent eight years as an engineer for full-suspension bikes, working on some fun projects, like developing the flex Horst link for the Cannondale Scalpel and being lead engineer for the latest GT Fury downhill bike. With over a decade of downhill racing under my belt (even made it to one World Cup—though I didn’t qualify so I stuck to engineering), I've had the pleasure of racing alongside the Vital crew, like Jason, Tanner, and Dak. Below is a photo of me, being slower than Dak. These days, I’m focused on my own projects, but I...

Good video but I want to know is when they talk about the standard pad as a replacement for OE pads are they talking about metallic or resin? Which one are the pads closer too?are they like an OE resin or OE metallic as that makes a big difference!

I already have ESPN+ to watch college football and F1, so I didn't have to pay anything to watch Rampage. However, if I did have to pay, even $9.99, I would have been a little pissed. I too am questioning if I'm dead inside because I thought this years rampage, and to some extent the last few Rampages were underwhelming. I also don't want to discount what the riders are doing and that for most of them, this is their "Superbowl" and the pinnacle of their riding careers. I watched 5-6 runs then turned it off and returned to work...

Hello, I do think Rampage as it is now is really bad. It is a show that is not enjoyable to watch. The commentators are bad and the show mediocre. Here are some refections: it is a very elite group of people who do perform. I think it would be better to let everyone ride who wants to. Juging should be transparent. Silly was when the juges were eating Pizza while juging. What was that? Did they not have the time to wait till the break. Is it a statement like we do not even care about all this juging...

T-MAC saying what so many of us are thinking: "Lots of frustration with this bobble towards the end of my first run that didn’t allow me to hit the last feature and get a clean one top to bottom. I wanted a second run really, really badly. I ran back up to the top ready to get redemption and when I got up there I was told there was a 30-45 minute TV break. We knew the wind was coming and I knew our window of good weather was shrinking with every minute that went by. I was pissed to...

Is this the guy who chopped an old one up to make a newer one? Or is it fresh tubing Captain Stubing? Iron Horse back with this rig would dope AF!

Renato I've the same concern. Against the Sender 6, do you think that RS suspension of the Tues base are comparable to Marzocchi ones or there are significant differences? Especially for me at 95kg. Thank you for your help.

The change in specs will definitely have a bigger impact than whta the article says. Especially the fork: RS has a very simple damper (self bleeding design with no compression shims) where the 40 has a not adjustable compression but is equipped with proper shim stack and offers definitely more support. The rear shock is again another story with X2 using a twin tube design offering more sensitive begginning stroke and less affected by heat build up.
