TRAIL BIKE VS ROUGH DH TRACKS!

[@dimimtb]

Those runs looks so fast, you made that wee little trail bike sing.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

EWS warpspeed. Amazing to watch, Lewis.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks

[@charlesslwilson]

Man that was swift!!! I think I died a dozen times visioning myself in the saddle at that speed!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@connerlawrence6788]

The way you handle the bike is absolutely insane, I could watch you do laps for hours!

[@averageonbikes1204]

Watches your warm up " he is haulin". Watching your next runs "Sheeeeeeeesssshh"

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha

[@dplasvegas1]

Nice! Wish I following you with my bike.

[@haydntevans]

Absolutely hauling, jheezzz!!! Excited to see what level of speed you can bring on the enduro rig! The cushcore video has blown my mind massively 👀 keen to see you do some more testing!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks a bunch

[@oskarstaudte]

Sick riding as always! Cant wait to see how you'll fly around on a sight and a shore :D

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks

[@traildogisla]

Nice, watched before gym session, finally got first race of the year in 2 weeks

[@LewisBuchanan]

Good luck

[@-tr0n]

Well, I'm sold. I was considering something with more travel, but I think this fits the bill!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hell yeah!

[@doonhilla]

Were there any actual DH bikes on the uplift? Crazy dry spell we've had, think all UK trails are crying out for a wee bit moisture.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha only a few 😂

[@oskarstaudte]

8:05 you can see a gambler :)

[@nataliemckail8781]

Gold run aka, footage from the forest in return of the Jedi, on the speeder bike chase scene. Not that I’m showing my age, but it’s rapid is the point.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha!

[@kmtbtrails3632]

Wow my brain is playing catch up you are tonking lol, that tree at 16.54 gives me shivers everytime you swirl past it, im like ye I would have hit that and bounced off atleast 5 trees. Nice riding pal

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@CornellHarris]

More about who's riding it..but nice to see the optic handled those trails. When is the sight or shore coming?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Should be this month or next! Takes time but exciting for sure

[@Wheelieparty]

@@LewisBuchanan do you think you will be getting an norco Aurum?

[@cole3977]

@@LewisBuchanan can anyone buy that fender you had on, or is a custom thing from dvo only for their riders?

[@LosttRomanceUsed]

I'm waiting on my new build at the mo. Bike is in the shop but we're just waiting on one thing. I'm pretty certain it'll come in this week, but I've been saying that every week. This is keeping my stoke high for when I can get back out on it man.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Awesome hope you get it sorted soon! Thanks I appreciate ya comment

[@momhkh9623]

Hi man, Love the videos, your an insane rider and come across as a really chill guy. keep it up, man! I will always watch your vids!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@the675gutfeeling]

Making that wee bike into a giant slayer. Would love to see you show all the other trails inners has to offer. From angry sheep to pro spacker and everything inbetweenn. Showcase the hill for the gem it is.

[@LewisBuchanan]

I’ll get to that hopefully sometime 💪🏼👏🏽

[@benwalsh5507]

Another sick video. They always make me wanna ride my bike👊🏻🔥

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yewww I’m stoked to hear that

[@NBMBC40]

Looking very fast, can't wait for our return trip in June to Inners and the golfie

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Yewwww

[@bikesair]

Only 4 minutes in but loving the vid. It seems like these trails are a lot faster than your "home" trails. Certainly not slowing you or the Optic down!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@cougar231000]

There's a video of people doing Black Snake (Val di sole wc track) on E-Bikes, so basically everything Is doable with a small bike, that doesn't mean that as a regular non pro rider i shouldn't use a Dh bike that makes me go faster and have more fun. Plus they're awesome looking!

[@twitchos]

Thanks for the videos on the optic, really enjoying the series.. just about to buy the same racing Green one. What would your priority upgrades be? Any advice before I buy?

[@user-1pj8h9jq12]

Wow your so amazing, your speed is crazy

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks so much

[@MagpieManny]

I have to stop a moment and say: DAAAMNNNNN you going fast! Subscribed immediately. What's with the empty OneUp cockpits (saw another rider with the same :P)

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Stoked ya subbed. Regarding the tool I just forgot it haha

[@SevenStanesMBT]

And IXS in the first run. Joy.

[@CallumCussen]

What pressures are you riding with Cush core? Insane speed!!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Around 18-20 psi here

[@bsymez3493]

Can't wait for the dyfi video, gonna be sick🤟

[@LewisBuchanan]

I’m excited

[@KingerUTube]

Unreal riding! Q: How hard were the Cush cores to get sorted with the DH casing tires?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Honestly...no idea haha. I didn’t put them on 😂

[@Herdum]

Always good to see a trail bike flying! On a side note, how you finding the SDG duster saddle?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Honestly I like it. No problems at all. Comfy enough.

[@erpol9258]

Are you planning on riding the Norco sight or you prefer shorter travel bikes?

[@LewisBuchanan]

I’ll be riding other bikes

[@davesixg8674]

I think Lewis has just learnt to talk slowly very well, then he speeds his vids up 😂

[@LewisBuchanan]

I’ll Take that as a compliment to my speed! Cheers

[@MaxMustermannnnnn]

I rode a old worldcup dh track on a 130mm trailbike. Had more fear than fun 😂

[@LewisBuchanan]

Haha I feel ya

[@elliotlandry7409]

How do you feel about mulleting the optic ? too much of a bb drop?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Yeah I wouldn’t do it personally!

[@legoP62519]

under 20psi , cush core, dh casing tires. going to test this out now!!!!!!!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! No idea, probably between 30-35kph maybe even more at times

[@woo_kash]

@@LewisBuchanan Optic is so capable in your hands, it is relaxing to watch what you do with it :-) I hope, at some point, you will get a chance to ride Sight, as Norco team's athlete.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! I will I’m sure

[@chadsugden411]

what tyres pressures were u running with cushore this day ?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hey! Around 18-20 psi

[@endurorider974]

Man that was bloody fast (can we say that? 🤣). By the way I always wondered why you ride a small travel trail bike instead of enduro (about 160-170 front and 150-170mm rear) Anyway cheers 🤟

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks! Well I’ll be on a diff bike soon! The optic is just so I can have something to ride and get in my training and some bike time
