Naur.

Unfortunately nothing so exciting - he's sponsored by Halo Wheels, but the bike comes specced with DT out the box so he's likely just blurring the logo's to be a good guy for the sponsors.

Some would say a million dollar question. People could argue Cannondale - the former MTB Marketing Director/Head of Marketing of GT who helped get Brage on the full GT program (in addition to others helping retain and build with him after he was aboard) however you want to use corporate jargonese is now the MTB Marketing Director/Head at Cannondale. However, personally, I don't see it a great fit... I wouldn't be surprised if it'll come down to Trek, Commencal, Spesh, or sneaky wildcard Nukeproof. Brands who either "have" money or are willing to use whatever to build (or re-build in...

start a new freaking thread if you want to talk about that stuff.

lots of people demonstrating that they slept through school

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...

Rumor is, still only one size of these exist at the moment but here’s more of the DH bikes floating around outside the WC team so that’s always exciting to see!

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...

I don't think you're gonna have to wait terribly long for the Forbidden, they're out there being ridden if you follow some of their sponsored riders. Will wager it will be no later than Sea Otter for the official release.

I think Greg Callaghan (sp?) raced EDR on the Ripmo most of the year after trying the HD6 so you might be on to something with what you were feeling.

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!
