Wow! How do some of you get through the day with such cynical nitpicky perspectives on things? It says INSPIRED. That covers it. Great kit Neko! Good luck this weekend!

I can seriously see some of you at a free food sampling table (Sam's Club, Costco, etc.) giving full on unsolicited critiques of those free mini corndogs..

Bring back the long nose manual.

Neko should also ride flats to pay the full tribute. FOFO!

Always refreshing to see how fast these guys were on bikes most of us would now consider unrideable. I'd love to see a spec and geometry comparison of then vs. now.

Don't really notice the 26" wheels, but damn those bars are short.
Haha and limp bizkit haven't heard that in a while.

BuckNasty44904 FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 8:28)

It's amazing how short those DH bikes were. Kovarik's ass was literally hanging beyond the back of the rear tire. They looked like BMX bikes with 8" travel.

Pretty loud kit for Neko! Will look good on the podium for sure.

BenPea (Apr 26, 2019 at 4:56) (Below Threshold)

Pains me to say it, but more like he'll be easier to spot in the crowd *from* the podium.

Did they edit this together from a bunch of fan's vhs camcorders.

AssmanDH (Apr 26, 2019 at 7:35)

Except this kit is skin tight

T-Bot FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 2:12)

Should be one the same bike.

andydhteam (Apr 26, 2019 at 2:16)

a proper photo of kovariks kit can be found on google in 2 mins

vinay FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 2:47)

Yes, but if it was meant as critique towards Pinkbike: they probably wanted the story up here but couldn't get the rights in time to publish those pictures. I'm sure there must be loads of pictures on the internet which are actually copyrighted and uploaded illegally.

andydhteam (Apr 26, 2019 at 4:46)

@vinay: all good they edited in the photo

Golden-G (Apr 26, 2019 at 7:22)

Kovarik was a boss! He still is a destroyer! So much aggression, speed, and style!! \m/

yakimonti (Apr 26, 2019 at 7:26)

Fox getting to cloak this as 'news'...advertising comes in many forms.

hhaaiirryy (Apr 26, 2019 at 7:35)

How do you think pinkbikes bills are paid!

PHeller (Apr 26, 2019 at 8:32)

In other news: Neko to wear socks at Maribor!

Gwin likely wearing underwear, but maybe not!

Blenki wearing a cape!

I remember an old mtb movie with Chris where he's doing 60km nose wheelies.

PaulieAU (Apr 26, 2019 at 2:30)

Needs to be on Intense rubber too.

dh-corn FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 3:56)

Kovaric is a livin legend!!!

martin737 FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 4:05)

Would like to hear/read Kovarik's reaction/interview

jimwoodmac FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 4:07)

Awesome! Needs a bit of yellow on the bike tho to set it off.

moodgedog (Apr 26, 2019 at 4:21)

Good shit.

shredright (Apr 26, 2019 at 7:18)

You better have wiped young man.

olddude (Apr 26, 2019 at 6:12)

Kovarik= the best 2 wheeled drifter ever. Ripper

NotDeadYetMTB (Apr 26, 2019 at 10:14)

What, no Manitou suspension to match? Shame

Would love to see more classic fox patterns about

Sshredder (Apr 28, 2019 at 9:32)

They met at pyjama party?

philneuve (Apr 26, 2019 at 2:22)

Ah-mazing

shredright (Apr 26, 2019 at 7:19)

ly awful. Chris rules though.

AntN (Apr 26, 2019 at 5:41)

Yeah Spewin, it's not Moir wearing this colourway hey.

LKTV (Apr 26, 2019 at 14:10)

He doesnt ride for Fox. If TLD made this kit it would be an aussie wearing a ripped off design and people would winge as well

It's not really classic kit at all if it's not the same color, logo placement, fit, etc. I don't see the point of this if you're not going to do it justice and 100% replicate it. The new jersey could be said to have been inspired by the old one but that's all.

Patrick584 (Apr 26, 2019 at 5:25)

It literally says inspired in the headline: 'Neko Mulally to Wear Chris Kovarik Inspired Kit in Maribor'

Goldfinger FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 2:37)

The "The classic kit in all its glory" jersey is obviously not the same as the one on the race photo, though.

vhdh666 (Apr 26, 2019 at 5:06)

of course it's not the same that's why it's called "Chris Kovarik inspired kit"

Goldfinger FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 6:41)

@vhdh666: no i mean the 2 photos of kovarik. on both he wears different jerseys

Goldfinger FL (Apr 26, 2019 at 6:50)

@vhdh666: one photo shows kovarik in maribor, the jersey covered with the leader jersey.
And at the lower photo, from Snow Summit Pinkbike writes: "The classic kit that inspired Neko's design in all its glory."

But they're not the same jerseys!

vhdh666 (Apr 27, 2019 at 2:50)

@Goldfinger: correct, no i understand what you were referring to
