2022 Pinkbike Awards: Value Bike of the Year Winner
@MattyRides: let’s not get crazy here nobody is talking about going back to the 90’s. But if you can’t hit a rowdy trail on a bike with a 65 degree head angle the bike is not the issue. In a recent article interviewing EWS riders they all mostly chose 64.5 to 64 for enduro bikes. This is a trail bike and they are calling 65 “adequate “

65 degree head angle “perfectly adequate”
Scroll back a couple years when 65 degree head angle was “aggressively slack” and ready to take on the rowdiest of trails like an enduro boss!

What are people’s opinion on the manual stand that holds you up from tipping over and gives you a chance to find the balance point?

Video: Brake Like a Boss - How To Bike Season 2 Episode 4
I worked for 10 years in the automotive field teaching skid control and collision avoidance. Hundreds of hours on the skid pad. We used the term threshold breaking to describe that sense of modulation. Bringing the wheel to the point of locking (threshold of traction) and then easing back enough to get the wheel rolling again. Learning the sensation difference between the locked wheel and the rolling wheel. Maximum braking is in that pocket and modulation keeps you there. Interesting connection between braking and vision was that if the eyes lock on a target the brakes lock too. If you can unlock your eyes from a stationary point the body tends to unlock the brakes and find the threshold. If the vision stays locked so do the brakes.
Thanks for the great content Ben.

Would not want to pay the fuel bill to drive that bronco across the country.
