What a win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and the 'magic carpet' takes another win. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, Scott following commencal with high idler. interesting.

 

Coming back to the win: that boy has serious loads of BMT. The top 3 were savages on that track. holy crap. (Need more tracks like that!)

gutted for Loris, he looked bloody damn fast.

 

one of the best races this season: literally down to the split second.

Is it just the idler or a High Pivot point too?

both really. the proto revealed in April only had the higher pivot point. But for VdS, they seem to be experimenting with the high idler (concentric to the higher pivot) as well, with VitalMTB noting it's just for testing, and possibly for only certain tracks. 

 

April reveal:

"Wyn's new bike ditches I-Drive for a more conventional four-bar, Horst Link system with the twist of an idler pulley at the main pivot. 

 

Why an idler? Well, the main pivot is quite high and, without an idler to route the chain up and over it, the suspension would firm up considerably under drivetrain loads. "

Bruni was looking good....then he did what he does very well......crashed out :(

What tyres is he on? maybe they getting the pressure wrong as it almost always just seems to wash out. Almost like a tank slap

think that's bad? I can't wait to see the bandwagon overflow with gullibility based on Pierron's successes:

Fortunately it's not a power balance.... Nevermind. It's as bad.

 

I predict a slew high pivot DH bikes coming soon.
