I've been riding my 2013 steel 125mm travel 26 inch bike as a dh bike for the last two years and this video is the proof you don't need the latest technology to have fun. The trail is located in La Zubia (Granada).
I loved my DMR Bolt Long, sadly it just wasn't long enough and I flogged it.
Great bike though. Handled a week in Morzine and Les Gets no bother. I hope it's still getting a good thrashing.
@j-t-g: If they could stepen the seat angle and put a bigger shock, the frame could reach 150mm easily. Imagine the same exact bike but with 150mm of travel and then with...let's say 460mm of reach and 64° head angle( still 26-27.5'' compatible)....what a dream bike mate....
It was summer 2016, I biked from Granada in the late evening to this forest set up my hammock and second day started Trans Nevada trail. I slept just few meteres from this famous trail having no clue. Later on Trans Nevada I met people living and guiding in Monachil who showed me pictures from filming Not2bad. Even photo of Aaron Gwins' truck up.there at La zubia. So unfortunatelly never was able to ride it but I never forget those times.in Spain, 3 months of bikepacking from Barcelona to Málaga, wwooging meanwhile on organic farms. Spain and especially Andalusia is just amazing. Que bonito!
I'm thinking about heading to spain for 4 weeks over xmas, any advice on potential trails etc would be great. Ideally DH/Freeride with uplift or access so we can drive up ourselves.
