With Dupelle as Dak’s mechanic, I’m praying we get a Dak sighting at Bromont this summer.

The first round of the 2026 iXS European Downhill Cup is taking place in Portugal this weekend. With World Cup #1 just around the corner, there are some Elite heavyweights getting their last cobwebs shaken among a field of regional racers. Rick Schubert cruised the pits to see if there was anything interesting. Lo and behold, there was. A lot of the bikes and brands aren't super familiar to us stateside, so drop your knowledge in the comments.

Unfortunately I'm an idiot, so I'll answer your question even if it is sarcastic. I found a known value that's easy to measure, the rear brake rotor. I set it to 203mm (as mentioned in a bike check from my memory) 16.2cm = 6.377 inch, rounded up however the app used rounds things and also not a perfect angle. Closest match for phone size would be a Iphone 16/17 pro max at 16.3 cm or a google pixel 9/10 at 6.3 inches. I'm going to go with the iphone 16/17 pro max. I should touch grass. I'm also either going...

Supposedly for this upcoming race season the Norco proto DH bike has undergone an "evolution", still no official word on a production version but birds be suggesting sooner rather then later though.

Looks quite a bit different from the version Gracey Hemstreet was riding at Hardline. Really looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

From Kirk McDowall’s instagram story today. Another look at Norco’s DH proto. Hopefully they’re moving to production soon!

I have heard from a LBS that Norco should have a new affordable simple Horst link DH option like around 6k CAD for a complete DH bike with Rockshox Select suspension for this spring-summer.
