2025 La Thuile DH World Cup Final Results

Rick's notes: say "the steepest world cup track there has ever been!" (x20). Don't mention that Champery track average gradient is clearly steeper.

Video: The Wildest Runs From Val Di Sole Over The Last 15 Years | Racing Rewind

Gwin started racing world cups in 2008, not 2009. Has anyone ever done a comparison to show how far Sam Hill was up at the time of his crash? He was visibly much quicker than anyone though the bottom woods after the split

New Colors & Components for Nukeproof's 2023 MTB Lineup

@tomo12377: most people I ride with break frames of all kinds of well known brands, so it is nothing unusual and almost expected from time to time due to where and how much we ride. My point is that my experiences with the warranty process has been quick and easy, particularly when I compare with friends who have had to wait months for warranty frames from other brands. This is contrary to tomo12377's comment, so I'm providing balance to that. And I can't complain about receiving a nice new shiny frame every couple of years!

New Colors & Components for Nukeproof's 2023 MTB Lineup

I bought a NP Mega in 2019 from Wiggle/Chain Reaction and have had no issues with warranty. I have made two claims for cracked frames and each time a sparkling new frame arrives on my doorstep (in New Zealand) within two weeks, no questions asked. On top of that, the warranty frames were upgraded to the latest model year which was a massive bonus! I would definitely buy another Nukeproof based on my warranty experiences.

Yeti's Best Enduro Results & 3 More Things We Learned From the Derby Enduro World Cup 2023

I've previously owned a Yeti. Mine was fast on the smooth trails such as most of Derby (I was there recently), but didn't work well on rough, choppy or steep stuff. The Yeti team also benefitted from two days of racing on the same trails 6 weeks earlier in the Trans Tasmania which must make their successes feel a little bit hollow. No blame on the riders for this as they were probably requested to ride there by team management (Yeti sponsored event)

Photo Epic: Finals - Val di Sole DH World Championships 2021

Reece Wilson on Bontrager tyres, but Loris on blacked out tyre brand which presumably rhymes with 'faxes'. I wonder if a different tyre wouldn't roll off the rim so easily on that bottom turn...

Hi expert. The Nukeproof Mega is also regressive in the beginning stoke. It seems to work for some people... I ride one (Mega) and have no complaints about speed compared to previous bikes (Yeti 5.5, Giant, Specialized) :)

Review: Specialized Stumpjumper EVO 29

@mikekazimer: I am supposing that the Evo was not designed to be a 'do-everything' machine, but rather it favouring being a murderous on the descents. It sounds like it ticks that box! I am looking forward to your thoughts on the Pole Machine's capabilities... Thanks for your review.

Review: Specialized Stumpjumper EVO 29

I have to say something. You beat your PBs down a bunch of tracks on a bike that is relatively new to you (awesome!), yet you would prefer a steeper HA and shorter chainstay? Some of your points just seem a bit absurd, sorry. The Evo geometry is clearly faster as you are more centred/balanced on the bike with a correct riding position. More bikes should be like this, I feel!
