@MysteriousOklahoma Lucky it was just a cut and nothing worse. I snapped off a seat post during a 12 hour mtn bike race, had to finish the last 5 hours with my seat about 2" too low (It had snapped right at the seat post clamp). Totally sucked trying to maintain any resemblance to speed
Happened to me once and jesus knows the pain. Cuts on my leg smashed my head against the frame and when i was on the floor couldnt even understand what happened... After that it took me some good time to trust on any bike again...
Even for someone who doesn’t really ride, just in parks. I first focused on the shocks but after a few noticed how so many chains are hitting the ground. Great vid
Bring on gearbox bikes. It’s crazy that we still have that delicate piece of gear hanging all the way off the beach when, getting smashed around like this!
@Emerald Triangle Yikes! Yeah I guess when it's driven by the weight of your body on the other pedal it becomes quite a weapon... we almost had a liveleak video here. I hope you can still ride! Also making a mental note to never use cheap crank arms, pedals, stems, seatposts etc...
On many bikes you can see the front wheel and fork go in to 1st mode resonance, while going through the fork travel, giving a lumpy travel through the stroke! Also crazy how short the wheelbase gets with a slack HTA.
I was thinking the same thing... I wonder how a linkage fork like the Amp f4 or the later versions of the Girvin Vector forks would perform in comparison I am thinking of making a "new tech" version of the Vector fork with fox or DT shock and 100-120mm travel
Thats nothing man, look at the chains, every single one of them is performing a "wave". Once you pay attention, you wait for the next wave. Some waves are legendary 😂
Jeez, I'm just watching the back tire get flattened and the chain getting slammed into the ground. Until the last one, that hurt my soul, imagine the pedal on ur bike just snapping off. . . Serious oof right there
Can we all agree, serious props to 510 shoes?! That freaking pedal was still stuck to his shoe after it hit the ground AND got pulled under the tire. That is some sticky rubber! Who needs clips with with flat shoes like that :)
@@richardrutishauser4689 510 shoes are amazing, which I find to be a bummer. They were bought out by Adidas a while ago and did the standard "evil corporation" thing of getting rid of the employees that made it great in the first place. Many of them went on to start Ride Concepts and other good smaller companies. I always want to support smaller business if I can and I have tried all of them, but not a single one has the clipped in feel of 510s. I assume it is a patent thing.
Better clutch materials for better chain dampening mostly, stronger frames and more efficient weight savings, also better sleeve berings that last much longer. bikes have been evolving in many ways for a while, just slowly. My budget giant bike probably needs a better front fork as the bike is much heavier in the front due to the coil spring shock and thick tubes despite only having 100mm of travel.
Its the vpp. One of my dh bike is 10" with 3.2:1 to 2:1 progressivity. Very good other old hidden away design uses two shocks for crazy awesome bottomless 10". Both are bottomless feeling and active as hell. With special lockout switch it tightens when you peddle... Secret to the grave until i decide to produce that one. 25 years ive had 10". Thats what she said btw....
The spring tension or resistance to the derailleur giving up its travel too easy seemed stronger on some. Was it the deraileur or gear the bike was in? Or suspension design and implementation?
like Polygon Siskiu and Giant Trance, right? looks like less tension on the B-screw and more backward derailer alignment. also there might be some contribution from the shorter chain (due to the small chainring)
mine has an adjustable clutch in the derailleur..I have not seen me hitting flat like this in slow motion but I will tighten the clutch and see how things act..that much chain movement looks like it could be a problem
Anyone else notice the SID on the Trek spitting suspension fluid upon bottom out? I was trying to see if it was raining 🌧? It is ok to put more than 10 psi in your tires btw😂
Why is the spring part of suspension on some of the bikes moving so fast. Its moving quite fast even in slow motion. Its bit delayed but when it moves it moves quit fast.
Almost all of the full suspension ones the rear wheel is bouncing. So it looks like the rear is not so much dampening the movement, more like just a spring.
0:28 That Santa Cruz Blur was outstanding considering it's basically an XC bike. Super solid. What brand crank was that on the Specializes S-Works at the end?
Lovely to see suspension working so elegantly. However, from a rider’s point of view, how can we interpret the video to judge the performance the bike? Thanks!
I think because of the head angles, as the fork compresses the front wheel is 'travelling backwards' relative to the frame. The fork flex adds a few degrees extra head angle too. Then as the fork extends, the front wheel is moving forward relative to the frame.
Ok I am curious .....two questions. 1) How high was the drop off ? 2) What was the average weight of the riders ? Reason I am asking is to get an average idea of what my bike might handle base on same parameters..... 2013 Specialized Stump Jumper 29'er....
All 5 hardtails handled this drop very well. 2- canyon stoic 11- norco fluid 17- vitus sentier 23- rocky mountain growler 26- bmc twostroke. Impressive. But my gawd that last crank snapping could have caused some serious injury. I'm glad it didn't.
What happens to a hard tail. Will it break after impacts like this? I had a cheap Chinese full sus, it broke when i tried a wheelie. I fell on my face.
the implications of this would be super interesting. putting accelerometers on your ankles hips and head repeating this and showing the data would be so intresting!
How far from recommended pressure do you inflate these, to achieve bottom out? Asking because I have way less pressure than recommended on my new 160-170 enduro bike, and I'm still not bottoming out.

Glad the starling didn't do anything weird, mine arrives in a week or two! Interesting to see the cushcore working, clearly visible in the deforming tyres
@@pe3117 I am just looking at the video and I see that after contact the front suspension compresses a bit, then the frame flexes then the suspension compresses in a staggered manner until full compression. For optimal smoothness the suspension should receive impact force that is parallel with the stanchions. The more off the angle of the force is less smooth and more stress(stichtion?). Also more stress on the head tube due to the flex resulting in a slacker head tube angle. This is for example why Fox uses the floating axles although that is to combat lateral forces (not an engineer but that is kind of the point)
@@danielbicioc4214 i would assume that under normal conditions the HTA is the main contributor. Under high load and variable terrain (exactly where you need the suspension to be working optimally) is when flex comes into play. naturally this is improved by having a zeb or fox 38 but also DH forks

Crazy how many bikes appear to have contact between the tire and seat tube at full compression!!
That’s because they’re mounting ferris wheels to bikes nowadays
Great content! "Progressivity" looks an awful lot like bottoming twice.
Yeah I was impressed by this; a bottom out from the initial impact, then a secondary bottom out as his weight lands through the bike, very cool stuff
By the looks of things it's the tyre rebounding into the suspension
Except its not bottoming because it's still free to move and doesn't give abrupt hit ..

I tried this and it's actually harder to see the frame flexing. Maybe it would be more effective on a solid white background.

Similar behaviour for the Fox 34 on the niner Jet 9. Is it really fork fluid?

You should do these from the transmission side so we can see how different derailleurs behave.

No disc brakes on the BMC Two Stroke?.

That snapped crank at the end is going to give me nightmares about all of my carbon cranks. I'm assuming those were carbon cranks.
I guess it's some sort of physics but why is the front tyre stop spinning for a moment while the fork is compressed?
I think because of the head angles, as the fork compresses the front wheel is 'travelling backwards' relative to the frame. The fork flex adds a few degrees extra head angle too. Then as the fork extends, the front wheel is moving forward relative to the frame.
What was the result of the pedal/crank break? We want comments on the Huck to flats! And also please show the rebound.
amazed what happens to chains and derailleurs', and wondering why? (especially the giant trance x at 2.21)
did the piggy back on the rear shock just smacked in to the raw jeeb down tube?
The amount of forward flex on some of those forks.
whats with the liquid coming out some of the forks/shocks?

love how the pedal is still on his shoe
If they're running inserts does that tire bounce as much on initial impact?
And the winner is,,,, the tyres. fascinating watching how quick the recover, couldn't see on all but does illustrate their quality
Love how the spokes don't even blink.
