Steve is now a SRAM Black Box Athlete, and is running Rockshox suspension with Blackbox guts. Not sure really what that means, other than it's not available to anyone except fellow Black Box test pilots. But as to set-up... "We didn't do anything in South Africa different than anywhere else I would race... I like my bike to feel similar race to race and I like it to feel like a DH bike. The pedally bits made me want to stiffen it up, but the track did have tricky bits where I wanted my bike to be normal; not all locked out ready for the smash only. So we ran it pretty 'stock'."

 Will that small amount of clearance between the shock and rear tyre not just get clogged up with mud on a wet day?
