Probably the integrated top-tube shock. I like the super clean looks, one of the reasons I love how the Scott Spark RC looks, with the shock hidden in the frame.
glad to see an inverted fork with pinch bolts. I'm stoked to see a comparison that is sturdier than standard or common MTB forks. As always great content very2 interesting
@@gmbntech it kinda looks heavy and beefy but it will be stiffer for sure. even the Cannondale lefti is strong imagine having two of those in each side.
@@KaizersPOV Hi all USD forks flex more than standard forks. Also it shares no design features of the lefty, the lefty is not round on the inside and runs on roller bearings not bushings hence why it works so well. Lastly the MTB trade always comes out with stiffer stiffer stiffer, stiffer is not always better and can lead to deflective ride characteristics.
Great coverage 🎉…. Anna ! A joy to listen too and her love for the sport shows…what a pleasure to see all the new mood cons & bikes. ‘Sea Otter’ show 2023 🚲🚴✨☘️
this is the best episode from sea otter series guys, all not some of the mtb's are stunning & never mind the tech...the paint jobs are really kicking out this year....but i can't not mention the new tech that's being shown as its pushing the boundaries this year, bottom line is this sport is having a super injection of mods as rival companies ever more pushing for that sweet top spot, would of been nice to visit this year as it must be the best year yet for hot new products. thanks guys 👍
I've seen lots of comments on other pages about the 5DEV cranks bending already. Can't say those are worth looking at but those inverted forks are so cool. I never understood when getting into mountain biking why there are so few inverted fork options. They just make alot of sense when it comes to how things work.
I'm glad as well to see a motorcycle fork design on mountain bikes. I never like seeing the travel reversed but Push Industries fixed that with a simple cover. It looks really good. I can only imagine what it will cost though.
Always seems much steeper in person. Yoi riding this year? Some new content coming? Have a new ride on the way. Kind of excited although ive had a lazy winter...
16:10 ... and every five years some fork manufacturer comes with this "brand new" idea: lets build an upside down - um (sorry this year, we call it) inverted fork. Let's see how it will go this time. Interesting video, thanks!
Great previews of all the tech! Lotsa ways too spend my money. But, the most standout thing in this video - Hans Rey has gray hair!! What?? Damn, I’m old! 😮😳👍
Semenuk's brake levers being at wildly different angles give me anxiety. I had to go back to the rampage footage to make sure he didn't run them like that. The answer is no, he didn't. There's a clear shot of them being at the same level when the bike is laying on the ground after his run.
All this new tech is all very good and lovely. However, this is making the sport unaffordable for most. What we need to attract new people is really good quality affordable bike without all the gimmicks and fads.
Hi, yes they supply our helmets and eyewear. You can find a link to all of our partners in the video description. What did you think of the googles Iago and Ella were showing off on their stand?
@@superchickensoup I only covered two sponsors in the four videos from Sea Otter, and that was because they both offered new tech I thought was worth shouting about. I'm under no obligation to add them into shows like this. -Anna :)
Who ever shows the 💰💰. Getting worse I think, such great presenters constrained to specific bands. Means you pretty much can't trust advice on products.
I thought i covered lots of brands we've never covered before, however, if I've missed someone that you feel deserves love, please let me know in the comments so I can showcase them in future shows! Thanks, Anna :)
Great.... lots of repeat content here in this video. Push are not bringing MX tech to mtb. It's been here for decades, shiver was MX tech and usd. Propain....really all you have to say is stainless steal headset bearings, wow amazing 😂 do you not think all bikes over say 3k should come with SS bearings, its nothing special
I love being mentioned in the comments section :). Also, Anna, it's Mike Le Salaud....... it's French for Mike the B@$t@rd......... yeah, I was a little immature when I came up with that.
@@janeblogs324 everyone! CNC’ing Titanium is nothing new. Just because people have lost their minds and are willing to pay these idiotic prices for components doesn’t make it some amazing technical advance.
I think it’s the fact that the cranks are made on a five axis machine by a company that usually creates parts for NASA and Spacex is what intrigues people
@@AnnaOnTheBike I think that it is because the bike industry is about two decades behind tech, but charges a ridiculous margin. Therefore the marketing department needs to pretend that all this stuff is cutting edge!! Anyone who actually works in carbon will tell you that it is one of the cheapest and easiest materials to work with. If the truth reached the consumer, then they would begin to question how a simple bike frame can cost up to 6k And how a shitty Trek ExE can cost more than a fully specked BMW motorcycle. And it’s not quantity. Because Trek produces considerably more bicycles than BMW produces bikes ( not to mention that BMW builds their bikes in Berlin (all except their cheapest model) and Trek is made in China)
