With all of that going on we've had quite the run of the place to find some of the coolest technical additions to the pro ranks... and even a few things that we're not allowed to show you yet!

Talking of 6-pot brakes... wonder if the Hopetech V6ti will ever show up again (last seen 2018) and be available for us plebs?

[Emtbtoday]

Pinkbike UK tested that trek slash amd every jump the chain came off the lower idler at front chain ring! Wouldn't look forward to that landing on the top bar or headset again lol

[Messisteve]

It will be good if you find out what the 6 pot brakes were been used Rick

[VanPelt]

“Carbon neutral…..” until the batteries run out. “Then we ask to plug in at our neighbors”…. Props for being mostly!

[Justkeepshredding]

Is the first bike the rockrider as in decathlon rockrider? Please don’t laugh if I’m wrong.

[boqstark]

any insider news to the commencal meta v5 flip chip? this is what I've been waiting for. front 170mm and 160mm in the rear.

[gopro_vlogs]

I see the zeb forks look to maybe coming in red and I recently got some grey webs for my bike and I was considering the older lyrics for the red colour so If they come out with red zebs I my sell my current ones and get the red ones or if/when they come out with red lowers and I can fit them to my bike I will be doing that. also a bir funny that there is a little jbl speaker in the tool box of the commencal tent, essential for pumping out those tunes wile working on bikes

[_mgiles]

Is that rockrider as in the decathlon rockrider?

[harveyjones]

Another XC bike with 'progressive' geometry' that has to compensate with a ridiculously negative rise stem 🙄

[usagiyojimbo]

someone tell that man, he does not need to shout with a shrill voice. just talk normally. it is a microphone he is holding on to. one can amplify the sound. no need to be shreeking like a stabbed mouse.
