Shot for April fools and landed on 420. Nice work. Too bad you don't have in frame storage, you coulda made a joke about putting your weed in there. Anywho bike looks sick. You guys got a website or plans for production yet?

Yes, a lower percentage means less force acting on the rear shock, but if you take the weight transfer during braking into account, which is the most significant and important part of mountain bike kinematics, a number closer to 100% actually maintains the suspension feel and geometry so that you retain traction on the rear tire and a planted feel on the bike instead of transferring everything onto the front wheel. The only time having lower anti-rise is beneficial is when you are braking on flat or uphill rough terrain. Hence the reason for keeping the anti-rise on "active" bikes...

"fully active" means different things to different people right now... the two extremes of anti rise are too low and too high. Too low is around 60% and below (depends on assumed COG height so it varies) where the suspension effectively extends relative to the frame under braking. great for traction as the rear wheel is grabbing for traction when u brake, but sometimes it can feel like the rear end is rising too much and feels like its going to throw you over the bars = not ideal. Too high is 130%+ where the rear suspension squats under braking...

🤣🤣🤣 👉🏽🤪. I don’t have anyone to proofread my work. But at least you know AI didn’t write it. I appreciate you pointing that out. 👊🏽✌🏽🫶🏽

I'm just glad the suspension stays fully active while it's breaking, good work on that. Anything else that's breaking or just the suspension?

The Lawwill was the basis for my floating shock design. I had a Schwinn 4-Banger and a Yeti DH-9 and loved them. I just flipped the script and float the shock as opposed to the rear hub. It helps a lot with braking. All our kinematic is in the PR.

To really level the playing field any top level racing should be limited to 20" wheels.

When tape comes back 😂

I would certainly hope Red Bull would step back in, if that happened

I've had 2 bikes with the di2 and They were noisey asf. lots of chain smack. I thought hey lets try the updated springs in the latest mechanical XT - Yeah still ass. Someone put me onto the new advent mx Pro, Not looking back now, its fantastic & cheap.

That's the experience that everyone my shop has set up on new di2 has had as well, and these are some of the most noise sensitive people I've ever worked with.

I guess my experience with the new DI2 is unique, but I’ve been running the XTR version since the launch last year. It’s on my V2 Druid and Yeti MTe. Both bikes are quiet as a church mouse. Multiple weeks at bike parks, local Enduro races and weekly rips on my local trails. No noticeable chain slap from the rear mech. 🤷‍♂️

That rag back on the bandwagon after crapping on Jack and Finn for not going to Canadian nationals?

Is there a replay of the 4x around? I can't find it if so. Thanks

I've got the tech air mx that I use for off road dirt bike races but when I go to a downhill park I would likely use it there as well. It's super comfortable and definitely a little warmer than my old chest protector but it's far better than I was expecting heat wise. I haven't had it deploy yet thankfully but if I'm able to reduce or eliminate a major torso injury this will be money very well spent.

Yeah they should do something safer than 4x... Like... Downhill

I was there for Jared Graves, Mick Hannah, Wade Bootes & Chris Kovarik all taking the same turn at the same time. 4X is just MurderBike. Like I said...halfway through the season, field of 64 goes from guys not qualifying to not enough guys to even field a full event. By season end, half your heroes have broken scaphoids or snapped collarbones. It's cool if you've never seen to watch the chaos once or twice. But that event thins the herd down way too fast! The 4 Man DH races they used to film by helicopter weren't much better. Only...

I think you of all people should have been STOKED on the 4x champs racing. Watching Neko use excellent race craft to hang on to a wheel and then out power dudes at the end. Sounds like you're not even giving it a chance tbh
