Nuh, looks alright but I'm into downhill IRL... 😂🤘

Can definietly see a benefit to a bib style pant in terms of comfort to move better but the execution does seem weird. Biggest issue is the fact that it is seen as needed. Downhill has progressed way to much into speed tracks, we want more steep technical tracks not aero comps....I can watch the tour for that lol

Back to skinsuits like in 2008 Same same but it's different "See Russ, there's no line"

TBH it looks exactly the same as the riders do in their current normal two piece kits, but they've got more comfort. Anyone talking about how they look so much different apparently hasn't watched a DH WC race in like 5 years.

Sean Palmer we need you to come back and save downhill again this just ain't right 😂😂😂😂

Doesn’t stop the road cyclists in lycra.

It's a one piece that has no sleeves!! Man, that is some creative thinking to say it's a two piece kit.

Goofy as hell

It's a skinsuit. Don't care what he said it's clearly made for aerodynamic advantage.

Is this what Bernard kerr was on about in interview with ride companion?

Yes

if i can see the riders packages better I'm all for it.

Yes, this will definitely progress the sport. It is so innovative and genius really. I have been having a hard time keeping up with my friends on the bike. I have a top of the range enduro bike, with factory suspension and all the best parts and now I know why I wasn't getting better and keeping up, it's because I didn't have a speed suit that allowed me to progress.

I’m not sure this was designed with you in mind

I know everyone is clowning in this in the comments, but I've always had an issue with feeling uncomfortable in armour that uses lyrca or Velcro fixing, I hate how it feels on the skin, it rubs, shifts separately from your skin and the outside clothes and is always noticable and I've been desperate for a full motorcycle style suit to use whist cycling. this is getting close.

Downhill onesie. Just need some fluffy overshoes.

This is what happens when no one goes "hey this was done like 20 years ago and everyone hated it"

Progress the sport? Make it more confortable?😅

Is there an actual reasoning behind producing back protectors that only protect half the back? youll be paraplegic if you rupture your spinal chord anywhere, not only on the thorax section?!

Does it have built~in socks like the footy pajamas that inspired it..?

So when the fabric rips or if you wanna wash it - what´s going to happen with the "guard"? Will these be trash then?, Can one simply replace/repair the fabric themselfs? Guards sewn in for me sounds like a bit of a mission for peeps without a sewing machine and matching skills..

@@99MrJ99 yeah figured that much *haha would never buy such a thing. Just wondering how this is nowadays still a thing when it´s obviously smarter to focus on products than can be repaired rather than tossed away ;-) Not an eco crazy lad but - sometimes one must question humanity & especially as said earlier ...these days. Pros race not just 1 race a year usually...imagine inventing one of those suits making it easy to swap the armor -> big step forward and good example for the "little" ones like myself who just ride

This sounds like a great product. I want one.

Totally makes sense for elite riders. Just don't forget all the rest of us that like beer 👍

A rash vest with crash protection and a 0.5mm shoulder entry long john. Billabong, Rip Curl, O'Neill reckon it time to go surfing.

How can we copy road cycling and pretend it is a different product….. so old fashioned and bib tights……never had those for winter riding in the 1980s……ffs

Motocross should go that way too

It's a not Speed suit. All it needs is neon.

Seems like an overly complicated solution. Would simply having an armored jersey that zips to the pants like a two piece moto suit meet the UCI rules?

This feels a bit like a solution looking for a problem.

Not at all when victory is decided by 0.1 sec. Riders currently use pins to tighten the jerseys around their upper body. This is a valid solution to a problem.

UCI DH rules - something to do with gaining an aero advantage I think

For the men we made it easy to pee by adding a zipper. For women, we did nothing. Why not add the same zipper down the legs and make a drop seat like every other high quality shell bib in on the market. Try harder Fox.

Let us buy em ffs, they always keep the good stuff for the pros, and they get em free. It would easily pay for development of the product

the idea is nice and i would wear one (pls sponsor lol) but i think it could be a nighttmare to get in and out of.

That base layer with no zips is pretty much the same as the fox baseframe pro, and I can confirm it is a complete bitch to get out of when sweaty after riding.

Looks a lot better on Tahnee Seagrave than it did on Christian Craig. No eggplant in the pants. Unless that’s your thing

no one talks how bad it is to go to the toilet with this kind of suits. same with Dainese, horrible if you are in a hurry.... and why are we talking about aerodynamic fabric while ride helmets with drag-coefficient like a brickwall. just makes no sense. and all cool is gone too

A onsie with zipper would have been better.

Trust in UCI to throw a wrench - or scissors - into this skin tight tailoring 😅

Couldn't they have created this shit before I bought 10 000 jerseys and pants 😅
