The first rider is the type of kid that the UCI and its agenda is going to stop from ever even trying. MTB DH is not F1 and the grass roots riders are the life blood of the sport in terms of its longevity.
Yep. And the UCI is removing the competitive ability of biological women by letting dudes pretending to be girls to compete in the women's field. Fk the UCI. I will NEVER support them again. I'm just hoping some filthy rich person with nothing better to spend their money on starts a new international cycling association completely superior to the UCI.
Everyone who already drove a Zerode bike or other gearbox equiped MTB knows how good it feels, even for trail bike or Enduro bike it could be considered valid
@@PedroStringhini Certainly some riders would prefer the gearbox for Enduro, but the weight and drag will be a problem for others. Still, they will keep improving, I'd love to have a lighter one on my Enduro bike eventually.
It is heavier and has more drag. pedaling and shifting isn't that important in downhill, you can literally break your chain and still win. The guy said the bike is 19 kilos which is over 40 lbs. That is 11 lbs heavier than my full sus aluminum bike with no carbon fiber.

Facts
Kael Foale from Australia. what a legend
sports are better that way. they suck when they go mainstream.
Kid didn't blink.
Kade's paint job looks awesome - there'll be a lot of sanding by hand in that!! Digging the texture on Chapelet's Cube too.
MECH BITS at world cups would be an amazing addition, keep 'em coming✌️
The Pinion Gamux is the future of DH for sure.
Gearboxes probably won't ever be mainstream in the rest of MTB but it's 100% the way to go for DH.

Nicolai Bikes tried it for a decade. They had some great designs but they were 15 years ahead of the industry.

@@brian6speed it all depends on the track. Some tracks don't require any pedaling. Some of them absolutely do.
Thanks for the tool box reveal. 👍🏼
So nice to offer visibility to privateers! Keep going guys!
10:50 Finn's bike has those custom titanium Magura HC3 lever blades that Danny Macaskill has also been using on his trials bike
That Trek in the thumbnail is sick! Haven't even watched the video yet!
Ahh, this was a goodie.... Luke Meier-Smiths mechanic's custom tool case is so nerdy... i love it.
And the Gamux is such a beaut.. amazing details
Loic's mech - "We never reach the limit of this Baguette yet"! 😂🤌
Awesome work guys! 🛠 Let's send it! 🤘
I’m actually curious what’s going on in that ohlins fork on the specialized team. It looks to be working so damn well deep into the travel
I can’t believe they get through that many bearings. They can’t possibly be shot that quickly
thats insane that they are going through headsets and BB's so quickly (@ 7:39 ), might say something about the frame quality!
Came here to say this!
So now trail and enduro bikes use coil shocks and DH bikes are using air shocks...🤨
I'm in love with that Gamux proto... Dear santa pleaseee
Incredible Haircut
“It’s kade innit”
wonderful tool box 🎉❤
Full floating rear brake. Good old school tech. Simple. It works.
Limit of the baguette?! 😂
👍
First!
