RidingAgain Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Just watched this video and couldn't help thinking how much these riders have helped with the development of mtb suspension, and overall really, design. I know it's the rider, but looking at what the bike does under the rider is pretty incredible too... https://www.imbikemag.com/mountain-bike-news/2019/09/danny-harts-winning-run-snowshoe-dh-world-cup/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cxagent Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I wonder if this makes a difference in suspension development - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY3wT1_HrgI Most of the suspension technologies trickle down from other places. Motorcycle motocross is some of the most directly applicable. And the riders are testing both of them.

Who knows, maybe even the carbon fiber stuff from F1 racing also. https://gearjunkie.com/trust-performance-message-front-suspension Edited September 11, 2019 by RidingAgain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
