- The last UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Downhill of 2023 is here and it's at the infamous Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada venue. Riders and mechanics are gearing up for an abusive, rocky, rough track and rain is likely in the forecast for race day.

I do the same thing as Oisin. But I use hamburgers.
🍔 🤤
100% agree that having some weight in the bike is a good thing. They track better, and hold a line better. And don't go pinging off rocks all over the place
@@BramBiesiekierskiif you're pinging of rocks you've got you're rebound to open/fast
@@andreashabeck1155 no. It's because there is insufficient mass ratio in the bike compared to the rider.
bram and andrea are probably so slow lol
Please do a video on the demo soon, really interested on what they’re pioneering there
Thanks Lawlor and Vital, the coverage is always mega appreciated
"snowshoe is flat"
Having rode there in my teenage years and into my mid 20s I still laugh at that. guess that's growing up on the east coast 🤣
"Flat" with an average grade of 41% and a max of 53% 😂
So that Demo must be running a moto size shock in it's CNC gravy boat. Must be over 100mm stroke
That would be awesome, would help so much with consistency.
Can't wait to see Dakotah's higher cockpit 😂
The Dak Stack😂
That first shot of the demo in the back of the van was the rawest shot 😂😂
Adding weight is nothing new. We use to resin shotgun shot to the down tube and seat stay near the bottom bracket. This was in 2008.
Same time we were all drilling holes in our cranks to cut weight.
funny i messaged jackson telling him to try weights on his bike
Hm putty to have a one by one click. Just use slx instead of xt or xtr and you will have 1x1 klick out of the box for 1/3 of the other shifter....
How come trek factory is sponsored by pireli but run bontrager tires? They just bad or what
It's kind of the other way around honestly. Pirelli sponsors the trek team bc their in house tires usually aren't what people prefer. I'm honestly surprised to see Bontrager tires on there. Doubt it's gonna be raced like that
It's just a trek thing. They have enough weight as a company to get away with it. It's just cause Bontrager is Trek.
I do the same thing with my all mountain hardtail. I intentionally have a full water bottle mounted as low and far back as possible. If I want less weight, smaller bottle. The water sloshing also tends to act like a motion damper as well.
2:54 Riding a carbon frame to "save weight", but has to put weight to have some benefits. Carbon in MTB DH sucks (Personal Opinion).
Agree with the weight being a bonus.
Is that last SRAM guy related to McLaren team owner Zak Brown? Identical voices!
Isnt there any other tents to go to? Seems like Vital only stops at Fox and Rockshox? Why not other brands like Öhlins, SR Suntour? Are they not present at World Cups?
I got a bunch of shots of the new Demo uncovered last week at Snowshoe. Very interesting setup with the pull linkage below the BB. Also interesting that the majority of the frame aside from the carbon lugged top/down tubes is machined aluminum.
looks like a banshee legend
Was that Saint crankset in the beginning a different chainring standard? Looks like it didn’t have the normal 104bcd setup with the ochain.
I call that cheating
A full 29er is going to be faster on most DH courses but not so great if there are lots of tight corners which is rare in DH courses. For enduro on the other hand, where you haven't memorised every corner and might need to make emergency turns, I'd rather have a mullet or even a 27.5.
Not sure about 29“ being faster on most courses(there are many mullets in the World Cup just because they are fast).
Also ist not just in the corners where the mullet shines
@@harrie205 Fare enough, I don't race DH so happy to stand corrected. I am curious what other benefits smaller wheel provide though other than, arguably, better manoeuvrability. Obviously if you're a smaller rider arse clearance is an issue but for a 6ft rider...?
@@sandy_knight Definitely a lot of value in pure 27.5s for the majority of riders.
@@sandy_knightmaybe not completely relevant but in the freeride world, one of the reasons riders avoid wheels bigger than 27.5 is because they act as a sail in the air, especially on big jumps where even a light wind is an issue.
29er doesnt mean longer wheelbase..so I do not see the argument for tighter corners unless the radius of the wheel is large enough to hit a wall in a corner....
2:50 then why not go with a gearbox to begin with. Instead of packing more weight, you take it off of the rear
The bolt on the Forbidden prototype at 7:26 was a solid lol from me Gary
Please speak to the RockShox guys and ask them to do a similar thing to DIALED from Fox next season
What do you mean exactly?
I freakin love your channel
I've heard the new Sram brakes are 6 piston. Not sure if it's true or not, but it's what I've been told from someone who saw them in Winter Park a few months ago
Looking at it though, that would be 6 small pistons to fit in that radius....however technically pistons do not have to be circular, nor do the seals....that way you could have more piston surface area without the wasted space, however then flex is a problem, which means bottom loading, so that the upper bridge can be consistent.

Yeah mush ⛳
Nice, they make carbon bikes for less weight and now they add weight , amazing
Well in fairness the lads adding weights are athlete's going a lot faster than your average Joe. At Joe's speed and physicality a lighter bike helps
Carbon is lighter, it’s also stiffer. Most carbon DH bike aren’t carbon for weight savings
The make the frame light so they can add weight where they want it in a lot higher concentration
You're a bit confused. They don't use carbon to make dh bikes lighter, it's used so they can make them more durable (tensile and torsional).
Carbon its not only use for lees weigth also he is adding weigth to a specific spot, not throuth the whole frame
Awesome bike builds
