„Welcome to sunny Scotland“. That one got me by surprise.

[@petermcinnes6987]

"Tops aff" weatherl here this weekend. Often decent right up until the school holidays start at the beginning of July.

[@chrisridesbicycles]

@@petermcinnes6987 Is that Murphy lawmaker guy from Ireland in charge of that? Never gets it right.

[@gmbntech]

Us too! We couldn't believe it! 😂

[@larsfpv6156]

Du bist auch echt überall in den Kommentaen unterwegs. Bist mir das erste Mal bei GCN auf Deutsch aufgefallen:)

[@petermcinnes6987]

Great work Anna. Fantastic to hear insights on international events in the UK. And great to see the GMBN team filming away from the south east.

[@gmbntech]

Hey Peter! Yeah, Anna dug out so much hidden tech. The EWS pit is so interesting. Thanks for the support! 🙌

[@richsmith6453]

I would defo buy a Hope dropper lever!

[@shafiqjan1474]

Me too!

[@gmbntech]

It looks 🔥!

[@insanepolarbear]

Great coverage, Anna! Some cool stuff on the horizon :)

[@gmbntech]

Thanks! 🙌 It's definitely exciting times for enduro bike tech!

[@billderas3420]

Excellent, excellent presentation. You are my hero!

[@gmbntech]

Thanks, Bill! Anna smashed this video! 👊

[@CyclingLifePT]

This new tech is really hot. Keep it coming!

[@gmbntech]

Hopefully you caught up with Sunday's video as well! 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqq6kHd5oaeWY5I

[@CyclingLifePT]

@@gmbntech oh yeah! Totally! Really love to see the mechanics toolbox and the new Giro helmet! And the GMBN presenter looked really interested too ;)

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Wow that's some nice prototype bikes and tech 🤘

[@gmbntech]

Very true! There was so much exciting enduro tech. 🙌

[@bobothericefarmer1878]

Holy sickkkk

[@badlarry172]

great stuff ta

[@gmbntech]

Cheers! We're glad you enjoyed! 👍

[@frederickmerle6412]

The British made Hope is a thing of absolute beauty and the attention to detail is incredible. My only concern would be the lack of ISCG mounts to mount a taco guard to protect the chainring/bottom of the frame.

[@Vivendocadadia]

Very nice bikes. It's crazy how all this high pivot bikes the chain touch the chainring only 1/4, those NW chainrings makes miracles to keep the chain on. In the past DH chainguides needed 3/4 of the chain to touch the chainring. Nice future for MTB.

[@Normski097]

That GT paint job, so cool. I had the same colour on my 1992 GT Karakorum, tequila sunrise it's called.

[@gmbntech]

It looks so amazing! You'd definitely stand out on the trails, that's for sure! 😅

[@deedontworry]

Hope Bikes are too 🔥🔥🔥

[@gmbntech]

💯%

[@1969Escobar]

Anna great job, funny how they keep secret prototype bikes, everyone is a test pilot afterwards, cheers 🍻

[@gmbntech]

Thank you for the support, Andres! 👊

[@strupotter]

British Racing Green is the best colour, change my mind

[@DemonicVelocity]

@@Sidowse good point. But it's just astonishing beautiful

[@gmbntech]

It's got to be one of the best colours out there! 😂

[@luizcarloszimmermann5505]

Incrível as várias soluções de suspenção traseira ; acredito que no futuro teremos mais up side down of front suspen.

[@aransullivan4827]

Yup Dan Wolfe

[@readikus]

Love the Polygon rider talking about braking in the wrong parts and not being perfect, so designing a bike for me. I’m not an EWS racer, but I always brake in the wrong place haha - so freaking to hear.

[@DrCrimp-sg5pb]

Sweet rides !

[@gmbntech]

There were certainly some super nice bikes at the EWS! 😉

[@cal...45]

might have to hold off buying a marin if that ifs sikiu N comes out this year

[@kateyoung716]

Reach adjust on a dropper lever? Definitely want that!

[@gmbntech]

100% needed!

[@erraldstyler]

looks like ill be buying Polygon again soon

[@charlie_one_9]

Seems like Aluminum Mullets are the way.🙌🏼

[@jasonswift7098]

What's the go with twin front chain sprockets? I've never seen that before.

[@davetbassbos]

That British Racing Green looks amazing, and I'm not even British.

[@gmbntech]

It really does! 😂

[@kaltonian]

gt paint job is nice, but they are all nice

[@md.moinulislam9467]

Cool girl with cool enduro bikes....!

[@stanb1604]

Seems like some enduro bike manufacturers are moving to high-pivot full suspension frames. Lookin good tbh

[@gmbntech]

High-pivot full suspension bikes look so good! It's exciting times for enduro tech! 🙌

[@mittenmod]

I’m really a fan of…the bikes…

[@borthwey]

So Cannondale didn't mind another bike being named Claymore like their 2013 model?

[@houseofvoigt]

Wait what ?????? Did polygon just bring back the URT ???????

[@cliffbeee]

Why another sprocket?

[@campbellclark8221]

Sunny Scotland?? XD

[@gmbntech]

Some way, some how, it was sunny! 😂

[@y3s815]

SEND IT TO ME

[@janeblogs324]

Bran nooo.... When did the English forget how to speak English exactly?

[@schmidt5988]

got an ochain on my Privateer 161 too, cause that thing has a shit ton of pedalkick, but with the ochain its a dream 🤌 I would really like to try a mullet too

[@cben86]

I’ve got a 161. Is this a must have? It ain’t cheap!

[@schmidt5988]

@@cben86 soo now its gonna get nerdy.... the Privateer got 34° pedalkick in 32/52 gears. And its a INSANE differnce. I didnt pay full price (250€), but if u got the money its worth it. Im running it in the 9° setting and its taking the edge of of hits and its soo smooth 😋

[@cben86]

@@schmidt5988 appreciate the detailed response. I’ll look into getting one

[@gravitybass]

But do you have carbon wheels that hold the line and roll better?
