28 Bikes Bottomed Out In Ultra Slo Mo (1000 FPS)

In 2020 we hucked 28 mountain bikes to flat so we thought it was about time to compile them all into one video. Sit back, relax, and enjoy three and a half minutes of bikes getting the full squish treatment

The best suspension is still the legs. Best engineering ever.

this video called me poor in 10.000 languages

2:36 so cool to see the bars flex on the Salsa

Interesting to see on almost every test there's an initial suspension and tire compression, when the tire rebounds it continues compressing the shock (and I assume inertia within the system); then there's a moment where the system goes static as the tire begins to compress again, finally there is the full compression of the shock. I suppose this speaks A LOT to tire pressure, unsprung mass and damping. Would be really cool to see if it's possible to eliminate the phenomenon, and then test the effectiveness of application to true trail situations to see if, say, traction is improved. Wonder if a foam core that compresses under initial increase of tire pressure, but takes a second or so to "re-inflate" could work as damping for the tire to minimise the bouncing effect.

Crabsolutely fascinating to see all the different styles of rear suspension and see them work

" No Jason Was Hurt During The Event "

"Yes sir I want to test drive this bike before I buy it, where's the nearest cliff?"

[Teecastermaster]

Crazy to see how short the wheelbase gets on some of these when compressed. The Hightower specifically was wild to watch.

Slowmo moves up everything to epic level

[craliarave]

I find the rear shock placement on the giant trance so cool for some reason

[hrsh]

Me watching testing of bikes i can't afford-
"Ah, cool, that one great, & that has the worst fork"-_-

[tomaskurak]

Dh bikes edition pls. That'd be sooo epic

[slaunts]

Super interesting video. Surprising how many of the forks bind up before actually bottoming out. There are obviously a lot of issues with the drive train and suspension. Something to look forward to in the near future I'm sure. I also know why it's so easy to throw a chain without a chain guide...

[chevyboy]

Cannondale and S-Works was most DEFINITELY the very BEST

Thanks for putting the most important bike of the year first! Pinkbike got their priorities straight!

[rowmackenzie]

The fact that you have this many amazing bikes is insane

[hwhat]

Look at the different amount of flex in the handlebars! Thats what I find most educating here!

[bobtheguy]

It's interesting to see how some bikes bottom out so quickly. The single pivot and short travel bikes look especially like they bottom out as soon as you hit the ground
