Video: 30 Second Bike Checks With Tippie Part One

 I saw one here in South Africa just last week, what an awesome machine, surprising you can't get them over there

 100% serious. My money ir ready and i'm only waiting for them to ship to the US continent. Someone at Canyon told me that's their next target in the next months.

 Agree completely. Canyon will be really dangerous to shop-only brands given how wide a range they make. I love YT but they only make 3 bikes. Commencal also only focuses on mountain and they only sell alloy bikes. Fezzari's aren't a globally recognized company due to the lack of race support so people are less likely to jump on that (so it seems). Plus that name is lame.

Adding carbon road, XC and mid-travel trail bikes to the direct only market would be really sweet.

 AND... They have just about the sickest dirt jumper with the most bang for you buck!!

 Isnt he a cannuck?

 Yeah... Prime minister eh!

 Much better than Donald Trump!

 ANYONE is better than Donald Trump!!!

 But Trumps hair is nicer than Tippies lol

 Awwww Yeeeeeeeeah!! 'Cast representin' !!

 Pretty common in enduro mate!

 Air shocks are nearly obsolete...

 I'm just surprised the sponsors are okay with it since they all claim how their air shocks work just as good as coil. I just ordered a Van RC because I blew a piston seal on my DBair.

 Its funny that enduro switches over to coil but dh to air

 DH courses are way shorter so i would go airshock as well .i,m betting the airshocks get pretty hot cycling that much over a 14min run , a coil shock with inert gas will not change performance wise as much as a airshock as nitrogen does not expand like air does when it warms up

 Why not pressurize an air shock with nitrogen then? No heat expansion from the gas and its lighter too, right?

 It is, Fabien uses oval chainrings.

 He runs a custom setup. Something about breaking his leg years ago so he one leg is slightly shorter than the other. I am old so my memory may be failing me.

 How does he make up for that? Run one crank arm which is shorter than the opposing? Guess that's one way to stop bike thieves too.....

 @Ephaxia all is revealed here pinkbike.com/news/bike-check-fabien-barels-canyon-strive-cf-2015.html

 @ehpaxia, road guys/bike fit specialist hav used shims cleats/shoes for diff leg lengths

 Merci! Although crank arm difference is slight overkill, I'd prefer it to have my foot slightly higher on my pedal I think, but each to their own!

 think it was a fox float X with the new negative air chamber

 I saw a Suntour Proto shock with piggy back on the Caminade FB-page, might be that one!

hope this works:

 Looks like a Fox Float X EVOL with remote.

 if the Durolux ive got on my bike is anything to do by, I think i owe it to them to give whatever high end shock they have in the pipeline a proper chance/try

 yeah, down to the colored spoke nipples too!

 look at the tires? the front one is schwalbe at least, so he will not speck about that
