Its grown on me somehow it looks better than previous pictures, but its still not up they're with the Uprising, Charles Bronson. Austin Powers Mojo HD just to name a few, bit harsh to knock the idrive, the concept is sound, the execution reliability may have been suspect in the past, but I like GTs approach to developing the bike so the final production version maybe something special, that said Dan and the new bike got spanked by the understudy on a 26" bike under a 16 year old! That would piss me off and I smile heaps, Dan is alway looking intense and wound.

Sweet vid, riding dogs rule, my boy doesn't use his brakes on the downhills though, we go everywhere together, he even goes up on the shuttle bus, names Maxxis, fast like the tires he's named after!

Now thats an Enduro bike setup, awesome. Great insight and also agree shuttling should be banned ASAP, one practice run only for all riders, not only is multiple practices and shuttling not in the spirit of Enduro, it has a major impact of the tracks/trails. Enduro must be good for tracks n trails for it to remain accesable to trails all over the world, this sort of thing could potentially harm locations and future events. For racing, like BMX and Moto, one wheelsize should be mandatory, no prototypes, if its not available to the public it shouldn"t be in the race stages! Only one practice run the day before should be allowed, even in this article with varying weather conditions most of the practice was moot. Enduro is about improvisation, thas what makes Enduro different to MotoX, in biking Enduro different to DH or XC! The rest of Enduro is fantastic, but this needs to be sorted fast, courses should not be pre announced until you hit Parc Ferme! And after practice bikes should go into Parc Ferme with a time limit for maintenance and adjustments tunning. Congrats to JG awesome result, definitely a contender for the overall Id say, hes shown hes the real deal in Enduro!

Totally rad event awesome kick off to EWS, just the names in the field is incredible, we may never see something like this that spans the generations and disciplines ever again, enjoy it! I think with time they're will be some more fine tuning to rules and event running, but this is how you launch success what a great platform to build on! cant wait for EWS round 2. VAL d'ALLOS 29-30 JUNE

The grip-shift is for the lockout on his shock, he said he doesn't use travel adjust, prefers just to lock it out for transfer stages, and ride the crap out of the bike on the race stages, no time for playing tunes!

Lopes 35th in Prologue, Greg Minnar wont be used to 61st, Cedric 3rd, Fabian B 2nd!

I bet Lopes wont make the top 5, not hating just saying the tracks the riders core Enduro riders will have a big advantage here, Lopes will do ok back in USA, 29ers r going to get smashed here, I wouldn't write him out of the top 10 though he's still a great rider, still should have been on an HD!

Now thats smart bike setup, no gimmicky big wheels, I would like to know if he's running a 2.35 Larsen sure that size is the smallest in 2ply though, and I assume the Ardent is a 2.4 much bigger knobs than the 2.25 which would be sketchy on those trails. Good luck Remy, the hardcore Enduro boys got it dialled.

If you also analyse the earlier DH footage you see Nico taking lines and jumping stuff that by todays stds on todays bikes is core! Absolute legend and I still think people don't realise how good this guy was. People talk of Hill and Gwin now but Nico was doing this stuff 15 years ago, so smooth and fast blows my mind, and now he's dam quick on an AM bike, no gimmicky wheel sizes just plain rips it on real bike! AC and Fabien the same!

Fab Fabien!
