Which of these finely-tuned race machines would you like to take for a spin between the tapes? 🧐

[@tomquimby8669]

None of them, they suit who they are meant for.

[@NP-th1mo]

I’ll stick with my Whyte E-180

[@enricoguala9739]

Sam, wise vision on "our" tools. Great guy and still the most stylish of all time!

[@chethompson2186]

The crestline reminds me of the santa cruz bullit/heckler, good looking bike, my fav is the oso love the frame shape.

[@JhonSalazarMena-hj5np]

Gracias

[@Chr1s_race]

The gas gas is really nice.

[@mechpade]

brushes on the stays to clean the chain on the go is a smart idea!

[@setiahyeung2577]

You go bro. That's how Kiwis roll.

[@MrAndrew2509]

Great show, I would love to try the Orbea wild, It looks mint. I do love my Kenevo sl though.

[@Schwachfahrer]

I would like to know ,which rotors the Commencial guys are using with the trp brakes! Love the look!😂

[@artificialgrassspain30]

If your still there Steve you need to go a couple of valleys over into Spain. The Valle d Aran. Its a lovely place and amazing riding. Both in the ski resort and with the local trails set up by Aran Bike Park.

[@edarnold99017]

Can you show a race time battery swap at the orbea pits?

[@RadoslawAdamStachnik]

SRAM MOTOR ❤❤❤

[@adamwright2477]

Everyone seems to be running the galfer rotors

[@qmass]

cobs harbour north of brisbayne aye?

[@zed5129]

Yeah, think he might have got that info over a few beers :)

[@stevengoodwin3154]

Hunting with ebikes has taken off in some countries. You guys could spend loads of time talking about emtb's for that niche market.

[@mechpade]

e-MTB companies should really be offering integrated front/rear racks options like R&M Super/Delite. Imagine not having to wear a backpack while adventure biking!

[@arkadiuszarkadiusz5696]

Lapierre GLP3???

[@bikemad]

Crestline

[@onetime242]

Pretty cool, but you didn’t show the coolest bike there. The Pole Voima of Leigh Johnson.

[@tomquimby8669]

interesting nobody using high torque sachs Rs motor

[@Chr1s_race]

Panasonic gx also

[@tomquimby8669]

@@Chr1s_raceI don't think Flyer have interest in the outcome of these races. Their market is more mainstream not chancing trophies with bespoke bike builds.

[@Chr1s_race]

@@tomquimby8669 flyer Trail bikes drive the Panasonic gx. The enduros ride Bosch cx race.

[@brentcollins9727]

I had no idea E bike racing was a thing!! Are they allowed to tune the motors? What keeps riders from hacking the motors to get an unfair advantage?

[@tonym6633]

If I show up with M620 Bafang 160NM am I good?

[@MrFlapstick]

What is the restriction limit all these dudes race with? Surely all the bikes from around the world turn up with different limits and a common value must be set for races? Is it variable by country, or agreed in for the entire global series of races? All I can say is 25kph sucks on these ~25kg bikes!

[@Raumance]

10:45 just let the guest speak his story it was the only really interesting part of the video. It's just rude to interrupt like that. Especially dumb that the interviewer specifically asked him to tell the story.

[@ride-time]

Steve - "so tell me about hunting on your e-bike" Moments later - "what are we talking about hunting for?" 🤦‍♂

[@henrybatson8455]

Some of them dropper posts are tiny barely getting any benefit from running them

[@tomquimby8669]

What is the point of this race? All we see are damaged bikes at the finish line, bent rims, deflective brakes, chewed up rear derailleurs, cracked carbon frames. This would be actually more interesting to test the bikes at the end of the race and award points for undamaged parts. The industry might actually benefit from more robust parts being created.

[@edarnold99017]

Where can you see the damaged bikes? Any video?

[@tomquimby8669]

@@edarnold99017 you will get more information if you do your own research

[@bradsanders6954]

@@edarnold99017 I saw none of this damage, would have to be there in person. Mt bikes always get destroyed under a top pro, they ride 10 times harder than a normal person and its all free throw away parts. But they have to finish.
