I feel that it allows me to actually stiffen up my shock a few clicks because I’m not fighting pedal kick and feedback to my feet. I use motion instruments data on my bike.

I had GCN+ it was terrible lol glad I'm forced back into that dumpster fire. As for commentating, I thought somewhere it had been discussed it was Needles as the main broadcaster.

So, @boozed talked about sharing the new prototype Marin DH bike on here, so I thought I'd save them the effort! This could be an awesome addition to the everyman's DH options. Matt Jones' bike check.
