Yes! With more actual corners it takes cornering skill to win races, not just letting off the brakes and trying to go ludicrous speed. When Amaury Pierron won Les Gets in 2019 his cornering form was perfect. That track had a good mix of actual 90 degree corners (as opposed to 30-50 degree wiggles) that actually rewarded technique over balls.

We've covered this on the previous page, someone said spec forks and shocks will make Pierron still much more rowdy and loose than Bruni. And I said 'make the tracks more twisty'. It would help, the speeds would be lower. People could still be rowdy, but if they crashed, they wouldn't ragdoll as much.

Great to see Monster stepping up and taking on more women, after Camille Balanche a couple of weeks ago it's Marine Cabirou's turn to pick up a fancy new lid and the support that comes with it: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marine Cabirou (@marine_cabirou)

This is the most beautiful reaction I've seen from any company in the years of snooping that's happened here or PB. Bravo Chromag

Seems people think the Chromag will be a FS kid's bike. In a plot twist I'm going to bring PB info to Vital with: https://chromagbikes.com/pages/minor-threat-builds People copy pasted before it was taken down, seems it'll be 24", 26" bike. Could be a good sign for things to come from Chromag?

Could it be so that PB people actually read the the same stuff as, people in this thread? Or have similar sources? Hmm. Maaaybe people in this thread aren't actually unique and the only folks with conacts? And some of the rumors are actually not very techy nor interesting at all. "new colors released" wow. Painters buy another color. Let's see some actual tech rumors. Dorado was really interesting. Why the hate for PB?

Hold up, is that a chopped up Commencal DH, with a welded on gearbox, and a metal cord to compress/pull the shock? Woohoo

On a recent interview, Sam Hill mentioned that he used the Mega for EWS round 1 and the Giga for EWS round 2 (both setup as mullets). He will then decide after round 2 on which bike he will be riding for the remainder of the season. To be honest, I am genuinely interested to know which bike he will pick.

Looks awesome! Hopefully more venues will refresh their tracks like Leogang and Les Gets have done.

OK, now swap all the components between the two frames and evaluate them again. That would be real interesting!

Adding stiffness was probably the wrong word there, but the factory team only ran air shock on 27" bikes, so something was there. As for what spherical bushings do, I am aware, for what it's worth. Same goes for distortions and the rest. Smile
