The Hottest DH Tech From Lenzerheide World Cup

[@gmbntech]

What do you think was the coolest bit of tech from this race? Let us know 👇

[@ADVtheMISSIONARY]

that Gamux bike 🤤

[@andi08uk]

Tacky Chan

[@danparish1344]

Gamux. I went to their website and visited their KZbin page and was a bit disappointed though. Some links were broken and basically a dead channel that hasn’t posted in a year. Most of their videos had 100 views or so. Not a good sign of a well ran company.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Loving the motor cross style of suspension & drivetrain in the rear! 😃

[@thebikecrew6481]

Dh is literally the F1 of mtb

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Closer & closer to Moto GP style of suspension drivetrain! :)

[@WolfAs243]

The "I HAVE TO GO" answer killed me... 😂

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

It’s like looking at concept cars but bikes instead 😮

[@Professor_Schall]

Love the Tacky Chans,hope they bring it into Production, promising Pattern on there🤞

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

2:40 OMFG!!!! 😂 That was the best

[@jcorrance]

That new Pivot is gorgeous

[@beefeekeefee]

The new Pivot lugged carbon frame reminds me of my old Specialized Allez Epic (circa 1991). I also recall that frame lacked torsional rigidity making it feel dead on climbs. So that makes me wonder if Pivot is trying to remove some rigidity from their frame and make it more forgiving in some situations? I would reference the decades old theory in the moto world about steel frames being more forgiving than aluminum with respect to MX and SX. Just a thought...Maybe further backed up by the fact that the very first upgrade they made was to design a more rigid chain guide which appeared in BK's vlog at Lenzerheide.

[@E.T_rode_bikes_As_well]

Giant Glory should come with a HOLE in the frame for some storage. See what i did there?

[@everyhandletaken]

😆

[@rainerwahnsinn9672]

great interviewer !

[@Richard_Payne_GMBN]

Cheers man much appreciated

[@pierremongin62]

Loved it mate!

[@Richard_Payne_GMBN]

Cheers dude 👊

[@scottmcburnie2328]

Looks sick! Can't wait to see next video!

[@tim__sadler]

#askgmbntech - looks like Gamux didn't get the note from Schwalbe on the new tyres....everyone else had to black the name out! Tacky Chan! (Interesting name....)

[@sp00n]

Commencal has spoiled it before. Twice.

[@the.bryce.maxwell]

Quick point of clarification - Telemetry is transmitting data remotely in real time (think space travel or F1) where the techs can analyze multiple sensors in real time. Seems like the MTB industry is conflating this term with "onboard data collection" which is the act of collecting data (in this case suspension) and offloading the collected data after the fact to a computer.

[@everyhandletaken]

Yup & this misconception occurs frequently in the automotive industry too

[@liamleech4748]

My 2005 Jekyll 1000 has suspension controls in the handle bars for locking out the front lefty

[@mtb717]

Dream bikes😢

[@gmbntech]

Yes! All SO nice 🤤

[@Hello_riders_1993]

This tech insides are the best

[@rhettcorbett3346]

New DH Pivot frame reminds me of the Old GT Lobo.

[@chucktalks63]

Pull shock on the specialized? Or just some new linkage?

[@303BikeRider]

Looks like a rocker around the bb and a pull link from bottom of chain stay to rocker under bb. Nice marketing creating a mystery.

[@mobilewintercamp7515]

M old enough to remember the Giant paint job. Pepperidge Farm remembers

[@kaltonian]

some exciting new tech in the far horizon,

[@XavieRibeiro25]

Why is no one mentioning the new Saint cranks?

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

Because they are some other cranks with a saint sticker on it for sponsor correctness ;)

[@XavieRibeiro25]

@@Finnspin_unicycles for real? That sucks. They look way more modern like that.

[@onetime242]

Why no coverage of the new Pole prototype DH bike?

[@acidhour666]

#askgmbntech what’s the difference in performance and ride feel of a progressive frame with a linear coil shock versus a linear frame single pivot running the new prog coils from Cane and MRP?

[@jordanmackay3568]

Progressive coil is like a volume spacer in air. Pretty simple

[@jaypopsti]

Did the Atherton’s not patent their lugged carbon frames?

[@Mankylovlov]

i think it’s been done a few times before then, i know one of the first carbon bikes trek made was like that, carbon tubes leading into metal bits.

[@liambaines9594]

a lot of manufacturers have used lugged carbon frames before.... even colnago on their road stuff.

[@Richard_Payne_GMBN]

Yeah even old road bikes have used this kind of method so it’s been around a while just not quite as high tech

[@madeiradriftin4429]

Adding to this, theres a video on one of the sister channels of a bike with this concept but out of wood! EXPENSIVE ONE

[@Cookboy3857]

Wow nice bike

[@a8f235]

Changeable BB shell... So do you want pressfit today or... nevermind 😂

[@mtb717]

Specialized are very hidden 😅

[@andrewsiasparks]

The vandal in me would have me just take a look anyway 😂 what are they going to do? Call security? 😂 As if

[@LeoLikesBik3s]

Black list you from doing any media stuff ever again. Word would soon get round and most other teams would do the same

[@dylan-5287]

Your reputation would be done for. Now if you found someone random to do it lol..

[@b56sd]

Mondraker is the best

[@MichaelMilhinch]

If you are going to talk about "Telemetry" please make sure you're getting your terminology correct. Telemetry is the real time broadcasting of dynamic data, data logging is the capture of dynamic data for later download and analysis. It may sound pedantic, but in many forms of motorsport Telemetry is banned and data logging is not so the terminology is important. I would suspect that DH mtb is data logging, not telemetry.

[@daviddwight5745]

Ffs, you pedal it, it’s a bicycle, how f🤬ing secret can it be😂

[@kodithebear]

To complicated. Remember when downhill was about the riders.😅

[@everyhandletaken]

Riders? nah, we don't need them :)

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

It still is, a first year pro on a production bike was faster than all that fancy stuff

[@bobothericefarmer1878]

Ong

[@alexh.4068]

Telemetry, electronic shocks/forks, ABS on the horizon. Where does it end. Less e-bikes please. Eventually all they are going to be missing is a motor.
