Photo of the Day: Downhill Racer Becomes Tree-Hugging Environmentalist

This is the follow-up shot to yesterday’s picture. That one
looked like it showed some form of mountain bike
square-dancing, but this looks more like a mountain-biking
environmentalist who has taken his “tree-hugger” label
a little too literally and carried it to a whole new level.

The @carbondrive equipped @gamuxbikes with a @pinion.eu gearbox is even prettier in person 👀 Do you think belt-driven gearbox bikes are the future? We love seeing all the new technology out and about at @seaotterclassic 🦦

We’re throwing it 🔙 to August of 2012 with @nschurter and his 27.5” Scott Scale XC race bike “Nino dominated the 2012 World Cup season on his 27.5-inch-wheeled Scott race bikes, but he didn’t win every race, and one of his few losses that year was a huge disappointment to him. Nino raced his 27.5″ bike in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to Kulhavy in the long, final sprint to the finish line in one of the most exciting cross-country races in history. ‘Jaro’ was on a 29-incher, and Nino was on the 27.5, and Nino must have decided that the bigger wheels gave Kulhavy an advantage in the final sprint.”

@yeticycles coveted freeride and bike park machine

@yeticycles coveted freeride and bike park machine, now with mixed wheels 👀 The new SB165 still retains 165mm of rear travel with a 170mm fork, but size-specific chainstays and a dedicated 29”/27.5” platform make the new bike more capable than ever ⛰️ Check out our first ride impressions of Yeti’s burliest single-crown rig to date over on the home page 👊

@giantbicycles new Trance X is in the house 🌀 A slight bump up in rear travel to 1️⃣4️⃣0️⃣mm, loads of adjustments 📐, and integrated in-frame storage 📦 make the new lightweight trail-ripper more capable and versatile than ever. We’ve got our first-ride impressions up on the home page, with a full-length review coming in the next few months.

@dvosuspension bring the technology first introduced on the Onyx 38 to their Diamond series of forks 💎 Upgraded with a robust 3️⃣6️⃣mm chassis to deliver increased control on rough trails, a redesigned crown with increased knob clearance, their SL air spring, remastered D1 damper, and an all new 3D machining process for incredible alignment and that buttery smooth feel 🧈, it is safe to say the Diamond got quite the facelift. Keep your eyes peeled for a full-length review after we’ve had some time to put DVO’s new fork through its paces 💯

Rocky Mountain’s all-new Altitude is here 🏔️ The new bike sees quite a major departure from the previous version, with the rear shock sitting low in the frame and using a revamped version of their LC2R suspension layout. The frame also gets the longer and slacker treatment and PenaltyBox 2.0 in-frame storage 📦 Our first ride impressions are up on the home page, be on the lookout for a long-term review in the next couple months 👀
