The Latest Tech from the Fort William World Cup | Rockshox Have Gone Gold?

Спорт

We're at Fort William for the first round of the downhill World Cup. With a long off-season behind us, there are many new bikes and tech. Most notable is the Martin Maes' non-ebike ebike, the Rockshox Foxxer and a tweaked rear end on the Commencal Supreme of Amaury Pierron.

    I think it means nothing that the Pivot prototype broke. If a production bike breaks, that's a completely different thing.

    Exactly. It meant a bit to Bernard obvs. (OUCH!) but not indicative of the brand or their production bikes...it was a prototype being tested IRL. Shit happens sometimes. Anyone who says anything else is being dumb.

    My riding group consisting of 10 amateur riders breaks ~1 production frame per season. You never see factory riders break frames, because their mechanics inspect the bikes daily and replace them at the first sign of a crack.

    Fair play on the monologue about the Pivot failure , but we wouldn't be making that case if Bernard was seriously injured. I'm all for bike companies taking technical risks and prototyping, but not at the cost of safety. Any frame failure, whether on a pro, or an average joe is just as bad as a helmet failure in my eyes.

    This was a good segment.. As a YT rider myself im stoked to see Vali Hoel on a YT, also her bike is pretty nice! Gotta say a return of Boxxer WC gold stanchions would be sick! .. I'm stoked to see how Jess Blewitt goes on the Cube.. Now i may be biased but I'm really looking forward to see how well the Zerode does, piloted by Blenky & Taylor Vernon, that bike looks absolutely gorgeous & i was hoping yad include it here..
