I really appreciate how open and enthusiastic those lads and lasses are chatting about their bikes. Makes them appear just like any other of us nutcases.

[@madwank]

Imagine being good enough to notice half a degree in the head angle.

[@lossantoscity3249]

Theres no way a human can detect that, But considering hes one of tha fastest Guy in the world i guess he does.

[@froznfire9531]

@@lossantoscity3249 For sure there is a way :) Its like playing on 360hz on PC, 99.9% wont notice a difference but the pros will

[@laurynasjagelo5075]

I'm not the fastest nor pro, but when tried putting an offset bushing in the shock, the difference was noticeable in some sections. Not drastic, but noticeable.

[@cookiemonster15781]

@@froznfire9531 If you’re talking about 60hz vs 360hz it’s more like 99.99999 will notice it.

[@froznfire9531]

nearly spit out my breakfast reading this.

Still sends it tho 😂

[@frederickmerle6412]

He is a one off and original. He stays true to himself what do you expect him to sound/act like? Some robot sheep human? His difference is what makes him interesting.

[@thesupernad]

Mondraker frames are so beautiful. Such a work of art. Hats off to their designers.

[@google_account_]

they are nice i also wanted to buy a second hand 2015 dune but a friend of mine broke his rear triangle 2years ago so i changed my mind

[@gregoraitchison740]

Think Cathro really made this vid so much more enjoyable, more of the big man please

[@blueage1560]

This is the best bike check vid I have seen in ages. Cathro got a lot of really interesting bike set up info out of the riders. It wasn't just going through and naming all the parts.

[@cosmoc_c]

Danny Hart and I have a very different definition of a 'funny story'

[@droptuned83]

Its all relative I guess.

I find it mad how you don’t notice the mullet on Reece and joe’s bike, but Danny’s bike looks like he’s running a 40” front 24” rear on a XXXl bike.

[@superchickensoup]

Ben is the best addition to pinkbike

[@shwinner8714]

I love how people are saying sick bikes but yet it hasn’t been out long enough to see the bikes.

[@scoobert-doobertdoo5999]

I don’t even have enough money to rent one of those for a day 😂 😂

[@ambushell5778]

Aargh no mention of the Blackbox fork and shock on Reeces bike!

[@tonykasunic1]

I love hearing about all the different setups, makes me feel better about my own obsession and small changes I constantly make to my own bike. Keep the content coming like this, great job Pink Bike!

[@djjmann]

That Propain is the best looking bike this year. Wow wow wow

[@kekhrieshuya5479]

Those rotors on Reece's session are huge tho

[@zwingler]

The NS Fuzz was probably my favorite, such a long rear end as well.

[@MikkelKristensens]

Danny Hart riding a size Large 😮 Looking at him next to Ben he look like someone that should ride an x-small 😀

[@SamFr1000]

I was thinking that too. Long bikes win races, I guess.

[@pinkbike]

So many sick bikes! Which one is your favorite?

[@th_js]

The one with the wheels

[@JPasdfjkl]

sick bikes!

[@joejuan5022]

all 7

[@antonnishan109]

All MTBs

[@thingswelike]

All the Propains look amazing at the moment. Those split times set by Phil and George look good too

[@rolux4853]

Man that front end on Danny Harts bike looks super high! Looks like a chopper!

[@noahbirdrevolution]

Danny Hart sounds just like his great grandfather.

[@shemshem9998]

This just reminds me how incredible it feels to ride a DH bike, they are truly a different beast and I miss riding them. Heading to the bike park in 2 weeks so I'll get to ride em again

[@BenJay1000]

This was extremely helpful. Such insight. Thank you for sharing.

[@justinmcmenamin9037]

Awesome bike check! Hey pinkbike, more Cathro!

[@BGraves]

In those conditions where every non banked corner is a rut it makes sense to run high pressure to reduce rolling resistance.

[@BGraves]

Don't thumbs me up. I don't know what the f*** I'm talking about

[@beerenmusli8220]

Wow, this was an amazing Bike Check! More Bike Checks like that please!!!

[@mkhitarkhodaverdian7159]

Willy the engineer from Cube; I relate to geeking out about 3d printing. i work with them closely at work! i love them

That summum is sweet!

God that Cube TWO15 is Cleannnnnn

[@mtbohana]

Man, you guys should have cornered Commencal so we could have got a bike check of that prototype Supreme they are running. That thing is SICK!!!!

Yo!!! Your here in my home country austria... Have fun peeps and enjoy the glorious weather here at the moment !!!

Feel exactly the same about the bar roll for me its always rolled forward feels so much better for me on both a mtb and an motox bike.

Glad I have a waterproof case, plenty of drooling happening.

DAMN TREK SESSION 🔥🔥🤩

[@HectorIM99]

need review and first impression for Sr Suntour RUX

[@iffy_too4289]

0:58 YES. I hate standard bar sweep and rise. I like a flat and forward grip too, like motorbike renthals. Not enough (zero in the shops or online storefronts i use) different rise and sweep specs available.

[@nikoyannaros48]

You are right to turn this handlebar forward because of it's angles.

[@chrischan5168]

8:58. “Plusnet… that’ll do”

[@DiabolicalSpender]

sick bikes!

[@SoGoMTB]

Barring one, the rest are from The Five Eyes. Tough to chase riders for an interview- granted. Do riders have their own unique clique?

Super secret tyres, and they say Germans don't have a sense of Humour. Always love Seagraves colour schemes, they always pop.

[@RegularJonMTB]

What is the head angle on that Propain?! It looks slack as!

[@Peyre]

Most of these riders look tiny next to Ben. He might be tall but I guess being compact and sturdy beats that in DH racing.

Was Ben welding something before he got to the interview?! 🤣
