Vali Holl Tests the YT TUES 29 Prototype 4

It would actually be interesting to see what Rachel, or Myriam, or Hart or Gwin would say. They've got a ton of experience on both, and all have raced on both I believe. Sure, Vali is a good bike rider, but a 'test' after a run, having never ridden 29ers before? And I don't believe for a second that she has to make up her mind in a few days. Any good company will support a rider at her level with two options.

An amazing emerging talent in DH racing. I look forward to seeing her progress in the elite category.

Interesting that the "test bike" is made out of carbon, which means they've already cut some sort of tooling for the 29er.

At this point, the frame shape would be decided and the parts they would be altering are carbon layup and suspension linkages.
