I made one of these systems for my university project a while back, bet this one works a whole lot better ha

[@GuyKesTV]

That’s really cool though 🤘🏻

[@ceriway380]

It be interesting to see and her how you get on.

[@SamEdwards-g2l]

How is the bike going? Looking to get a ZFS-5 with either 3P cable system or Flight Attentant.

[@luchocatano1772]

Seen this and epic 8 , how performs the blur in comparassion?

[@lars_atx]

Does the system also provide feedback thru an app? Seems like this is Quark Shockwiz improved and integrated into suspension, instead of a bolt on. Very cool.

[@Justin14100]

How's the BlurnTR vs ZFS-5?

[@GuyKesTV]

That’s coming soon. Should be very interesting as I just gave the Cervelo a Fox SL makeover

[@phan0701]

Are you running the sid ultimate sl or just the sid ultimate? 190x45 shock?

[@GuyKesTV]

120 Ultimate and 190 x 45 to make it 120 rear too

[@GuyKesTV]

Sorry man, missed this. SID Ultimate 120 with SIDLux 190 x 45 rear

[@MrDaymien1]

Is this the direction of MTB racing ? Is this in the spirit of MTB racing?

[@GuyKesTV]

Compared to the amount of sensors and science involved in training now this is small beer!

@@GuyKesTV I noticed the DH word cup at Fort Bill all the top racers had on the fly suspension modes. I just thought that it was odd. I see the benefit for racing but racing is generally for trickle down consumer products. I just cant see myself using a suspension AI unit, especially on a considerable. Im still using a cable rear meck. I like factory suspension but no way Im shelling out for AI gizmos.

[@GuyKesTV]

@@MrDaymien1 I wouldn’t worry too much. Various brands have been pushing ‘smart suspension’ since K2 in the 90s and it’s not caught on yet. Flight Attendant is definitely the best system yet in terms of function but it’s still very obvious in terms of noise.

Are you not allowed to provide actual numbers on how the FA improves your time on various laps and terrain. It would be nice to see some real results instead of your positive adjectives.
