Who's faster - mountain bikers or road riders?

Madison Saracen team rider Marc Beaumont takes on Madison Genesis team rider Tobyn Horton as they go head to head to answer the age old question - who's faster, mountain bikers or road riders?

Film by Nico Turner.

That roadie is one hell of a mountain biker

[Khaldor]

So in conclusion the MTBer was faster on the MTB and the road biker faster on the road bike? What a shocking revelation :P

"Tried a downhill bike a few times" (the roadie) and then does a whip on the last jump :)

[Pokemiki]

Dude that roadie can sure ride an mtb, I think he should switch to dh

[bluemystic]

Strongest legs vs biggest balls, lol.

[ZaccoBrooks]

I was confused who was the mtb rider and the road biker the whole time..

[ottob]

The majority of road bikers i ride with are really fast on trails until it gets technical.

[jamiewilkinsracing]

Didn't expect this to be so good! Great vid.

[rologti]

"I have tried a few times"...WTF!!!???
He rides like a pro...that whip!

[edwardsmith]

That dude is not a road biker if he can whip off

[williamthebutcherssonprodu]

The roadie should of riden his road bike for the DH and the MTB’R rides his DH bike for the climb

[JoeAchilles]

Awesome video, glad Marc did it for the MTBers ;-)

[kemalmahisa]

The roadie actually really damn good on DH bike

[InformatrIIcks]

I have this story about a friend of mine (actually he his the XC junior france's champion) that once had a weekend without a race, so he borowed a road bike and attended a road race ... He winned first place. 3 weeks later, same story. He then did the race to be qualified for the national championship, winned, but the referee said that he couldn't be qualified for both XC and road, so he choose XC ^^

Marc Beaumont should've done it with Mark Beaumont ;)

[lukekolodziej]

I must say--- this roady can shred!!!! LOL

[chapzer]

This is amazing! I do neither of these things but I love it because I can feel the bond the both of you have over your Respec for each other's ability in a different but equally difficult sport.

[dho]

Awesome vid!! but everyone knows its not about which discipline is better, everyone has their preference and it's just about having fun out there. can't believe some people have piss fights over what discipline is the better one.

That intro looked like a trailer for a movie.
