Hey i consider myself fairly decent at math. How are they going to give that money to Gwin if they are PAYING out to racers on their bikes, getting podiums? Please solve the below equation. show all work. $2,061,000 - (money paid to privateers) = Paying Gwin's salary

Even if it was 120 races and everyone on the podium was riding an Intense that would be $120,000 total ($500 each for a mens/womens full podium). Where does the other $1,941,000 go?

OMG I feel so stupid, this is mostly going to Gwin. It's a cheap marketing trick. How much do you think Gwin gets for a 1st place at a world cup. Intense it probably going to give 90% of that money to Gwin.

Im really curious about some reviews from legit testers also. Not sure if you read the same review as I did, (online blog of a wheelbuilder who hosted the Outside Mag testing who detailed his communication with Trust?) but it said something similar. It seemed valid and well put together but then I stumbled on his previous blog post where he took some pretty crazy positions - low bb's are bad and cause extreme trail damage, droppers over 100mm are unnecessary, even 2.6 tires are too small, bikes with bar height that's below full saddle height are unrideable and some...

Test feedback I've heard has been mixed. Great in the corners. Great on smoother trials. Terrible in the rough stuff. Overdamped. One tester I know of (testing for a different publication) in an area littered with more technical trials actually took it off after 2 rides, suggesting it was maybe broken. He didn't hear back from his editor, and the product went somewhere else. Anxiously awaiting to hear more, but I won't be plunking down that kind of money unless I'm absolutely certain its a step forward... Love that someone is willing to think outside the box. There is little...

I've been discussing the theory of this product with some my customers who are interested in potentially buying one. I think the real challenge is putting it on the right frame. Because the headangle doesn't change as much through the stroke, you don't need a slack front end. If anything, a longer stem and steeper HA seems like it would provide better action. It seems like it was tailor made for bikes like Evil Following, Pivot 429 Trail, Tallboy, etc. I know they want to sell to as many customers as possible, but Trust saying that it will cover travel...

While I understand the engineering behind it I struggle with it. It strikes me as a solution to an invented problem. If linkage driven suspension really is worlds better why aren’t linkage forks being run on works motocross bikes or moto-trials bikes etc. I know everyone hates the motor sports references when it comes to anything bike related but there has to be a reason these teams with their giant R&D budgets and cost is no object mentality (not to mention access to some of the worlds foremost engineers, no disrespect to Mr. Weagle) haven’t adopted this technology. There were...

Every big hit just sends the front wheel into the air. It only keeps the front tire planted on small bumps. I’ll pass on this one.

Apparently there are a ton of Dennis on here based on the number of people giving feedback on their experience. NUTS how much money some people have now

Punctuation!!

For what it's worth to you (and I dont expect to change your opinion) , I raced the same races as him during the days when the World Cup was not as big financially as the NORBA Nationals, where the pro DH guys raced all weekend long in DH & Dual Slalom/Dual/4Cross & weren't given rides back to the top. Tracks were dangerous garbage and all of them were VERY dangerous and the bikes were still garbage and death traps themselves. Compounding it, he outweighed EVERYONE by a mile. He was a giant & the bikes were so lethal under...

Gwin doesn't even need a chain to win a race, so calling out the chaingide he uses is pretty moot point. Pro riders parts need to last one run... using that criteria as the basis for what you and I run isn't sound. That said, have had nothing but great luck with e13 chainguides and have been using them since Gwin was back in 9th grade.
