Lower height means a lower centre of gravity essentially. So Brosnan, Laurie & Jackson have a low COG = Turn better in science land. This all gets thrown out the window when you have Greg, Jack Moir etc who are well over 6ft with long limbs Taller riders have more leverage, can soak up bumps better, again in theory. This all gets thrown out the window when you have balls of muscle like Bulldog and Finn Isles. see where I'm going with this, In theory you can have a "perfect rider build" but I think the Cranial Matter up stairs...

Gwin won back to back on a production YT Tues that was untested on the WC stage. He tinkered with frame size but used parts to try and dial his fit in. It wasnt till year 3 i believe where they tried retrofitted 29er stuff. Even the Demo he won a overall on was relatively off the shelf besides different suspension links for progression changes. One could argue that it wasn't until he got to intense before his performance really started to be inconsistent but his sprinkled in injuries did not help either. If Gwin was to ride the Yeti...

I hate to say it but Bizutch is correct, I listened to the same podcast where it was mentioned that Specialized is using Dyneema on their Team kits for more abrasion protection. They're not on Fox apparel for years.

They've been done for a long time, like 2013 I think. Fun fact, my profile picture is a Black Market Mob, loved that bike until somebody decided they wanted it more and stole it.

Minnaar throwing Syndicate under the bus a little on the other sites interview. He says he wants to build Norco using the best DH teams, Commencal Muc Off and Specialized Gravity, as examples. Sounds like he blames the Syndicate for his poor showing last year.

1- Dyneema has pretty much no stretch at all, this is also one of the reason it's a good material for rope, sails, bikepacking bag and many other use but not for clothing. I am very dubious of your claim that Bruni kit is made 100% of Dyneema. There can be some of it for added abrasion resistance like other some other clothing company are starting to do. 2- Dyneema and other UHMWPE fabric and material are available for purchase by normal people without having US government security clearance. https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collections/dyneema-composite-fabric/produ… 3- For Bruni tightness of his kit, that is up...

Oh my, oh.....Oh my I can get behind this...... not too far though, with that wagon rear wheel.... I'm making an assumption that with the modular shock mount, theyre using the same front triangle for the Optic and Sight I had just kinda settled on an Endorphin frame, or a mulleted Smuggler, I had almost forgot about the HP Optic on its way. The purple colourway, with a silver Pike, Cascade link, Talon cranks, and some WAO wheels on silver Hadley hubs, GodDamn

that's going to be such a sick team to root for, I'm actually looking forward to fantasy team DH next year! However, it would have been way cooler if they were on Intense M1's, just sayin.

i think we all know he's moving on, just saying that pic isnt necessarily his new ride. why don't you give us a nice little inside hint, I mean, I helped build and maintain so many aliso laguna trails since 2000 that I kinda feel like you owe me from all evidence it's Mondraker so congrats to him, can't wait...

Breeden on the M1 with Ohlins. Trummer on the M1 with Fox. Dunne on what sure looks like the proto Mondraker with adjustable seatstay bridge.
