The Pros Favourite MTB Tech From Sea Otter Classic! | GMBN Tech Show 277

[@gmbntech]

What's your favorite bit of bike tech from Sea Otter?

[@m4tzeeh]

Probably the integrated top-tube shock. I like the super clean looks, one of the reasons I love how the Scott Spark RC looks, with the shock hidden in the frame.

[@leogoughmtbs]

The vitus xc bike or the digit datum.

[@wanhadfiz]

Vitus

[@mikelo303]

Parktool cable clamping pliers. Finally!

[@ricosuavez_uk]

Love the new push fork… Moto Style for MTB, I am here for it..! 😎

[@5DEV]

Hottest thing was GMBN Tech at Sea Otter! Stoked to see you guys.

[@1GayMTBr]

Lmao her talking to Neko vs everyone else. 👀

[@RC-fp1tl]

😂 I’d ship it

[@woodburner292]

"Nico is the...I mean, Nico, what is the hottest thing at..."🤣😏

[@dongkapuyawn5107]

😂😂😂 the leg and hand placement with the girl crush smile🎉 her eyes too were scanning🎉🎉🎉 you go girl!

[@KaizersPOV]

glad to see an inverted fork with pinch bolts. I'm stoked to see a comparison that is sturdier than standard or common MTB forks. As always great content very2 interesting

[@gmbntech]

It will be interesting to see more of this fork! What do you think of that crown?

[@KaizersPOV]

​@@gmbntech it kinda looks heavy and beefy but it will be stiffer for sure. even the Cannondale lefti is strong imagine having two of those in each side.

[@superchickensoup]

@@KaizersPOV Hi all USD forks flex more than standard forks. Also it shares no design features of the lefty, the lefty is not round on the inside and runs on roller bearings not bushings hence why it works so well. Lastly the MTB trade always comes out with stiffer stiffer stiffer, stiffer is not always better and can lead to deflective ride characteristics.

[@chadbarbaro]

anybody remember mountain cycle? upside-down fork, early disk brake pioneer. 1992ish

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Fantastic coverage, Anna. You're such a likeable host.

[@ianmangham4570]

She is 👍🇬🇧

[@mikelo303]

Best video of the series! Thank you! You are great reporter!

[@hambo76]

My favourite tech is the eThirteen Presta tubeless valves with Schrader head!

[@ianmangham4570]

Total babe ,she's got that whole "i just got outta bed" look/ down 💯🤠❤🇬🇧🙏 19:50 🐫

[@justsayin3600]

I'm glad as well to see a motorcycle fork design on mountain bikes. I never like seeing the travel reversed but Push Industries fixed that with a simple cover. It looks really good. I can only imagine what it will cost though.

[@davidwilliam9056]

Great coverage 🎉…. Anna ! A joy to listen too and her love for the sport shows…what a pleasure to see all the new mood cons & bikes. ‘Sea Otter’ show 2023 🚲🚴✨☘️

[@MTBr-of-SoCal]

Wahoo! I got a mention on GMBN Tech vid!!

[@Superteastain]

I like this presenter. Pretty chilled.

[@myrants5836]

All this new tech is all very good and lovely. However, this is making the sport unaffordable for most. What we need to attract new people is really good quality affordable bike without all the gimmicks and fads.

[@j0nnybrav01]

16:10 ... and every five years some fork manufacturer comes with this "brand new" idea: lets build an upside down - um (sorry this year, we call it) inverted fork. Let's see how it will go this time. Interesting video, thanks!

[@duncanicook]

140cm....wow that's a thing to behold.... Woof!!

[@gmbntech]

Hahaha, well spotted, Duncan. Apologies! -Anna :)

[@jerryspeedbumps512]

Always seems much steeper in person. Yoi riding this year? Some new content coming? Have a new ride on the way. Kind of excited although ive had a lazy winter...

[@bobothericefarmer1878]

These are some nice bikes and tech

Who does the custom wrap Anneke presented, from Bentonville? Link please!

[@jeremyhowell2332]

140cm saddle for when j.lo starts riding xc…

[@jamesfiegel9675]

Inverted forks come and go....the stress on the seals are the problem.....physics can't be designed around like gravity and impact direction :)

[@azizuladnan2389]

Is that how Pole is pronounced? Por-lay?

[@gmbntech]

This is how they pronounce it in Finland, where the bikes are made. -Anna :)

[@azizuladnan2389]

@@gmbntech Thanks Anna

[@DrCrimp-sg5pb]

USD forks are just so logical.

[@Inoxbrains]

The content what Doddy created in the past is unmached!

[@deividas_kimontas]

#vitusbikes are the BEST! Love Kyles custom escarpe! 🍺🤠🔥

[@ianmangham4570]

Can't wait to see the Zoom stand and the BUCKLOS stall 😮🤟🤠 Oi Oi!

[@Iosis6]

I've seen lots of comments on other pages about the 5DEV cranks bending already. Can't say those are worth looking at but those inverted forks are so cool. I never understood when getting into mountain biking why there are so few inverted fork options. They just make alot of sense when it comes to how things work.

[@mr.d7429]

Awesome work! I love Sea Otter Classic! Unfortunately I was not able to visit this year! Thank you! 🤘🏾

[@betttina33333]

YOUR GREAT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

[@frankthetankricard]

Semenuk's brake levers being at wildly different angles give me anxiety. I had to go back to the rampage footage to make sure he didn't run them like that. The answer is no, he didn't. There's a clear shot of them being at the same level when the bike is laying on the ground after his run.

[@chadbarbaro]

Jill Kitner is so underrated!

[@kaltonian]

this is the best episode from sea otter series guys, all not some of the mtb's are stunning & never mind the tech...the paint jobs are really kicking out this year....but i can't not mention the new tech that's being shown as its pushing the boundaries this year, bottom line is this sport is having a super injection of mods as rival companies ever more pushing for that sweet top spot, would of been nice to visit this year as it must be the best year yet for hot new products. thanks guys 👍

[@mjenkins2251]

Great previews of all the tech! Lotsa ways too spend my money. But, the most standout thing in this video - Hans Rey has gray hair!! What?? Damn, I’m old! 😮😳👍

[@Ztec]

You talk about the Sea Otter special……..what special?????

[@scottunderwood3481]

Utilitarian, I learnt a new word today. Now to find out what it means.🤔

[@gmbntech]

Utilitarian: designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive. Hope that helps! - Anna :)

[@porroco]

Wonder why qe are on 2023 and ebikes use external batteries on t type transmision dropper and suspension. Having already a battt to power the bike

[@philipcaldwell3187]

Great coverage Anna! Sorry you bent the needle on your fun meter!

[@jamesfiegel9675]

I want a Parks print that good man is wearing on a T-Shirt :)

[@b-manz]

Am I missing something or is GMBN covering all the same brands over and over again? There are tons of good product out there you are missing.

[@8o8ertmtb]

Who ever shows the 💰💰. Getting worse I think, such great presenters constrained to specific bands. Means you pretty much can't trust advice on products.

[@gmbntech]

I thought i covered lots of brands we've never covered before, however, if I've missed someone that you feel deserves love, please let me know in the comments so I can showcase them in future shows! Thanks, Anna :)

You say pole i say pole 😮

Really enjoyed seeing what Sea Otter had to offer. What is the nearest thing to this in the UK please?

[@gmbntech]

Probably Eurobike in Germany this June.

[@davegee124]

GMBN sponsored by Smith by any chance?

[@gmbntech]

Hi, yes they supply our helmets and eyewear. You can find a link to all of our partners in the video description. What did you think of the googles Iago and Ella were showing off on their stand?

[@superchickensoup]

This channel just plugs it's sponsors, with a sprinkle of other stuff. It's like buying a mtb magazine and it being 60% adverts

[@gmbntech]

@@superchickensoup I only covered two sponsors in the four videos from Sea Otter, and that was because they both offered new tech I thought was worth shouting about. I'm under no obligation to add them into shows like this. -Anna :)

[@ianmangham4570]

That Yeti is 🍒 🤟🤠

[@ronaldeccles4141]

Push front forks

[@BlakeD-pz6fl]

Wheres the dude that normally hosts this show?

[@8o8ertmtb]

On holiday with his family.

[@superchickensoup]

Great.... lots of repeat content here in this video. Push are not bringing MX tech to mtb. It's been here for decades, shiver was MX tech and usd. Propain....really all you have to say is stainless steal headset bearings, wow amazing 😂 do you not think all bikes over say 3k should come with SS bearings, its nothing special

[@johnzee691]

👍👍👍

[@MikeleSalaud]

I love being mentioned in the comments section :). Also, Anna, it's Mike Le Salaud....... it's French for Mike the B@$t@rd......... yeah, I was a little immature when I came up with that.

Every since someone said she has "maid" hair I can't un-see it

[@tb4326]

I want to go to Sea Otter one day, it’s a bucket list item for sure. I want those 5DEV Ti cranks so bad!

[@asifitmatters1]

How little one needs to know to be impressed by a CNCed crank arm in 2023… this is thirty year old technology.

[@janeblogs324]

In titanium? Who else used to do it?

[@asifitmatters1]

@@janeblogs324 everyone! CNC’ing Titanium is nothing new. Just because people have lost their minds and are willing to pay these idiotic prices for components doesn’t make it some amazing technical advance.

[@AnnaOnTheBike]

I think it’s the fact that the cranks are made on a five axis machine by a company that usually creates parts for NASA and Spacex is what intrigues people

[@asifitmatters1]

@@AnnaOnTheBike I think that it is because the bike industry is about two decades behind tech, but charges a ridiculous margin. Therefore the marketing department needs to pretend that all this stuff is cutting edge!! Anyone who actually works in carbon will tell you that it is one of the cheapest and easiest materials to work with. If the truth reached the consumer, then they would begin to question how a simple bike frame can cost up to 6k And how a shitty Trek ExE can cost more than a fully specked BMW motorcycle. And it’s not quantity. Because Trek produces considerably more bicycles than BMW produces bikes ( not to mention that BMW builds their bikes in Berlin (all except their cheapest model) and Trek is made in China)

[@8o8ertmtb]

Tell me about it, nothing difficult about machining those parts out of Ti at all. Just trying to justify the price.
