Bikes for Enduro... The restart

[Odinson]

I think people still like bricks and mortar for their bike buying, so direct to customer hasn't taken over yet.

 

Canyon Spectral is still topping my list for next bike purchase though. Cannot beat that value.

 

It probably never will. Walking around a bike shop and gawking at gorgeous bikes is still a lot of fun.

The view of that town from there is forever seared into my memory. Morzine. My spiritual home. Avoriaz in the background.

the fork is just there for testing purposes, and the DH trail he's riding at at the moment. Will be replaced by a Lyrik when he starts the Enduro season.

I see he says he will switch between the Pike and Lyrik depending on the race he is also on Spez tires now so he has been running some Hillbillys on that bike that he did the DH race in and came second,this bikes chainstays are 20mm shorter than his Yeti he was on.

In the PB article he also alluded to the Stumpy. Maybe he'll be on a jacked Stumpy for one of the races. Joe Barnes has even raced the 140mm Canyon Spectral on some of the tighter tracks.

WISH there was more coverage of these... Just that the format doesn't lend itself to TV, unless they adopt an WRC-style coverage format and do one whole 1 hour "wrap-up" for each competition... 

 

Now THAT, I'd pay for...
