My god Vali is such an incredible rider. That was a brilliant run!

Think I only have 4/6. Going to be a great race though. Cant wait to tune in

Well that hurt. Took an outsider or two who was good in the wet but hadn’t been in top form lately. Shouldn’t have bothered Naha

Loved to see that Carbine. I had one 5 years ago and LOVED it. Such a great enduro bike

To me weight is more important than power.

Well, thats why I voted - Not really, but ill take it if its on offer. Its a pretty pointless argument, as you can't really buy an 85nm motor bike brand new anymore lol

Mine and my mates Polygon shining in the winter sunshine at the top of Godley Head. Christchurch NZ.

I rode my friends 120nm Bosch today although only up a short climb. It’s more powerful sure but not enough to make me want to spend the money on one over what I already have.

Yes. 105kg here with Gen 4 Bosch 85nm. Perfectly happy with that as I can still climb faster than my older riding buddies on 120nm Gen 5 and avinox M1s. I’m very bike fit & only 19% body fat & in my mid 40’s so probably not the target thought haha.

Sad news for Loic “Five-time Downhill World Champion Loïc Bruni has revealed he will be out of competition for at least three months after suffering a serious wrist injury in a crash during practice in Loudonville.”

I always find it funny people who watch on Tiz or other free sites or those that refuse to pay for the sport are often the ones who wonder why the athletes don’t get paid more. Kinda goes hand in hand IMO. Keeping in mind as has been mentioned we follow a VERY niche sport.

That’s why it was quite a big deal when Adidas hopped on with Norco. You guys are right though 95% of teams sponsors are MTB companies. Maybe bigger brands don’t see sponsorship as worth it for DH?

I wonder if we will see much change on the Leogang track this year?

Oh look, another thread destroyed by mindless motor/class drivel and the usual posters. Isin't it ironic that the exact reason the OP wanted to leave is on display here again.

100% on this as well. This forum was so good 2-3 years ago but 90% of it has turned into a dumpster fire. Really sad to see
