1,417w Attack!? - Keegan Swenson’s Epic Rides Whiskey 50 Fat Tire Crit GoPro Race Footage

[@shakinwakin35]

So glad to have these back! These race analysis videos got me into racing, and it’s been a long 2 years of reruns. Great result and solid insight. All during race season. This is my happy place ☺️

[@SmokeytheBeer]

I live in Tucson, and Keegan has most of the KOMs around Tucson. No need to wonder why. Amazing power from such a relatively small rider. Always rooting for Keegan! Great job!

No, he doesn't.

[@furyl1_neverz91]

IT IS BACK!

[@TrainerRoad]

yessssss!

[@jonathanlowery547]

What a legend! Need him back on the podcast soon. Maybe after he wins Unbound this weekend?

[@huntracing5201]

Almost called it he got 2nd

I agree with Keegan open travel is faster in Blur TR. I am currently doing 2 race series in San Diego 16 XC races in 2 months. I race the blur in the TR setup, 34 fox fork 120mm. For some reason I improved in the series significantly with my travel open more, there are other factors that could apply, but I felt much faster even in the climbs too. I think the firmness of the 120mm fork acts as a lock out in itself, and only uses travel when it needs it. Im sure there is a physics law out there that explains it ;).

Wish we had power meters thirty Years ago, would have loved to know what I could hit back in the day.

[@ΘάνατοςΧορτοφάγος]

Fat tire races are kids fun races that are very young...but this looks hella fun. Fat slicks and MTB means crazy corner speed. My rigid Ti MTB would fit right in here

[@clrbrk9108]

I like that they’re forced to ride a bike that was chosen for a race that’s pretty much the polar opposite. It really shows the talent and power the riders have.

[@EJGilb]

Looking forward to hearing some more about your upcoming project with Zwift :)

[@bossieman22]

Yes please

[@sergeantmtb]

Yoooo! @jonathan with the KZbin content Slam Dunk. Yeehaa 🤟. Also, I'm sorry for being a knob Keegan, I only just released it's pronounced Hit Squad and not H T Squad.

[@jordanforsgren2597]

Stoked!

[@TrainerRoad]

We're stoked that you're stoked, Jordan :)

[@BonanzaPilot]

These outputs are insane. If I can get 5 30 second 500w+ outputs in a multi hour ride, I'm squashed.

[@SonnyDarvishzadeh]

21W/kg rather?

[@TrainerRoad]

Typo fixed

[@gregverellen3693]

Awesome

[@oliverlennard]

He’s got some of that pogacar sauce

[@JackMott]

That ain't fair that he has a sprint that big along with a 6w/kg ftp god damnit, lol

[@Red-ju4mi]

WHY UNLOCK THE SUSPENSION on the downhill???

[@TrainerRoad]

As Keegan said, he A/B tested it along with his teammate and it helped maintain momentum over the small bumps/cracks in the descent and helped maintain control. Marginal gains!

[@Red-ju4mi]

@@TrainerRoad does that mean road bikes with a tiny bit of suspension would be faster on downhill? I guess the question was about the science. I know why he did, just confused on why this was true

[@TrainerRoad]

I don't know if we could extrapolate an anecdote across different circumstances, but as a general principle, smooth is fast.

[@brentonsisemore1122]

Yoooo we both race the same bike lol

[@OneDougUnderPar]

Was that first rider wearing normal jean shorts?

[@beanboys3]

His name is ryan standish, its kinda his thing

[@TrainerRoad]

#JortsGuy himself!

[@accrualworld4488]

They can’t even get his weight right in the description. He says in the video that he is around 66-67 kilos not 63.5.

[@TrainerRoad]

Typo fixed :)

[@MrKostaja]

I didn't know Swenson weighs 128kg

[@TrainerRoad]

Typo fixed!

146 lbs? Jesus did he never eat growing up or just never grow?

[@TrainerRoad]

Boy eats A LOT. :)

[@tramsramsey]

hes a small dude

[@Alpenmagier]

kinda cute when muricans ride

[@benmiller388]

None of the big time athletes they bring on TR use TR..

[@b-manz]

Maybe because they have paid coaches to work out the plans

[@keagandevilliers2832]

but in cape epic he could do nothing

[@b-manz]

Ever tried flying 1/2 around the world for one race? Also one race won’t define an athlete. Why the hate?

[@keagandevilliers2832]

@@b-manz not hate. facts.

[@ryanspivey2453]

Indeed. Only a stage podium and nearly cracking the top ten in a field of world class athletes. What a douche he is. Perhaps he could truly find manhood and accomplishment by making disparaging comments on KZbin instead of his current meaningless and uninspiring exploits.
