I was wondering if anyone knew how the 5010 guys, Ropelato or other pros are running their bikes?

Are they downsizing frames?

Are they running shorter shocks for lower BBs?

I'm looking for a slalom/ trail bike so I'm really curious if anyone knows.

PS I've seen all of the bike checks and there are no specifics.

It seems that people are indeed short shocking them to turn them into slalom bikes. Not certain about the pro boys, but friends who work for the company have done it. Not sure what size they're using.

Josh Lewis posted on his Instagram a while back that his 'jibbing machine' / 'jibmobile' is a size small aluminum 5010. I do not know what size bike he normally rides, but I believe that is smaller than his enduro bike.

Check Max Morgan's and Kiran's Insta pages. Think they both have trick slalom 5010s built up. Sure they'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Both really good dudes.
