Who could see on the top step at Fort William this weekend? Watch our other Tech video from Fort William here: gmbn.tech/FortBill and stay tuned for more over the weekend!
Hey that ORBEA 🤔. I've been thinking about how a kers system might work on a DH bike via an integrated flywheel. I'm betting thats whats going on there 🤷♂️
Those protos look better than some finished frames. I love all the spare bolt holes and external routing that clearly makes them better for fettling. We need more of that in sale models.
@@LaurentiusTriarius blacks monochrome and deadens every color. I paint so I know how black deadens paintings. We can each have our own opinion and agree to disagree without arguing
I run them on my Tlevo; amazing doesn't even begin to describe it, now converting all my bikes to them and unless something crazy changes will forever run them on all future bikes. Truly incredible!!
@@cedricseibel3924 LOOOOL my Norco Sight was new and cracked after 2 days in Whistler, meanwhile my Scott Gambler and my Canadian made Xprezo Adhoc have more than 150 bikepark days. Norco easily crack i know at least 3 ppl who crack their frames.
@@OwenBikeNerdComing from a pro MX and desert racing background, yes I would run one. I don’t think Hopey steering dampers are still around. I may be wrong about that.
Am I the only one concerned about the Specialized Demo’s shock link hitting rocks in its current position in front of the BB? Seems like it’s a rock garden away from destroying that part.
They ride their sponsors, so whoever pays them the most to ride their products as long as it's competitive. And they'll want that brand engineers to be present at every race so they can do the work required to set up, maintain and fix the suspension at any moment. Custom suspension is far too niche to fit the bill

The Specialized prototype seat stay is from an Enduro. Thats why it’s 148 boost
The new YT-Tues is insanely Beautifully designed. Also those new Golden Fox forks are RAD!
Great job reviewing these bikes! Really enjoyed this video. Jealous of the hair!
Thank you! Yep hair is models own!
The guy with the coffee at 09:25 😂
Omg that specialized is on the different level.
We'd know more about that Orbea if Owen had responded to one of ads in comic books for X-ray glasses. 😀
I mean Mmy glasses are pretty strong - but sadly not that strong - your right if only I'd responded to those X-ray Spec's Adverts!
1:55 that orbea looks suprisingly like a 2016/2017 vitus sommet crx 😂
Still finding it hard to see the forks as Rockshox with white lowers and gold stanchions after like 20 years of that being fox colours.
Not the first time that Rockshox have featured gold stanchions though! We doubt it will be the last 🧐
Fox looks the best IMHO! I can’t stand the all black color of rockshox. Looks like 💩
@@tylersimpson-g5snothing worse than a shiny chrome stanchion, black matches everything, gold... Ehh

20 years ago rockshox did it before fox.
The V10 by far ,just gets better every year
Do a bikecheck on the We are one Owen, you know it needs to be done!
yep - get the We are one covered!
Watch this space - super interesting brand and team!
@@OwenBikeNerd no
The Specialized prototype reminds me of the Atherton build.
except waaaaaay uglier
Awesome video! Love the dh vids 🤟
Everyone officially stopped saying "650b" 10 years ago. It's just as silly as saying 700c when talking about 29" wheels.
Every bike so dope, man.
6:35 regarding the seatstays: I'm 99% sure these are just the seatstays from the Enduro
The Norco is my fav
Owen has the coolest hair.
Owen is totally bald that's just his pet Kerry blue terrier chilling on his head 🐕
@@LaurentiusTriarius Lol. Cool puppers
The We Are One rims look interesting
I run them on my Tlevo; amazing doesn't even begin to describe it, now converting all my bikes to them and unless something crazy changes will forever run them on all future bikes. Truly incredible!!
The Norco gonna crack like after 3 bike park days or 3 races like the tradition.
What are u talking mate u have clearly no clue what quality norco has and need to hate

3:47 flip shi* Owen said it not me
all great looking bikes!
Would love to see Blenki's Zerode G3.
Please do a video on the steering damper.
We need to take a closer look at them for sure!
Yes - we're working on it right now - I think its super interesting - would you run one?
@@OwenBikeNerdComing from a pro MX and desert racing background, yes I would run one. I don’t think Hopey steering dampers are still around. I may be wrong about that.
@@OwenBikeNerd It appears that Pademelon bought out Hopey.
I hope the new Demo won't be carbon, although seems like it will be. I got the current one over the Sender, bc it was AL.

Mondraker Summum, more!
7:40 Floating brake arm? Uh, clearly the brake caliper is attached to the rear triangle. Where is the floating brake?
floating as it's attached to the seatstay instead of the chainstay, it moves different from the main pivot. It's the same system as a trek for example
How long is the stroke on Greg’s Norco?
Why they dont use push elevensix coil shock

My favorite is definitely the Mondraker team / bikes
They're good looking for sure! Do you like that high-front end on Dakotah's?
@@gmbntech I actually do like that front end , I wonder what Mondraker thinks of it 😅
@@gmbntech It just hit me, he is really into dirt bikes so that pretty much explains why he has a very similar setup on his mtb .
@@gmbntechit is wild!
Finally a bit of validation that I’m not going crazy with my 60mm rise bars….
Dang didn’t I see this video yesterday? I must be confused .
6.30 the rear hanger looked abit t type style
orbea gearbox ?
It has a derailleur and cassette fitted so that's unlikely. I'd guess it's just a bolt on bottom bracket adaptor underneath the cover.
Probably right, but would be a nice smoke and mirrors trick, if they just slapped the derailleur there for distraction and as a tensioner
Another brand that moved to High Pivot, the Cannyon Sender.
Almost the whole field is high pivot at this point...
and have a mullet setup don't forget about that bandwagon
We are one rims are best on the biz
N O R C O needs bigger decals!
"covergin" rims lol
There's nothing going on there buddy it's an ebike with the motor removed.
I miss Rob, Claudio, Dody, and the old GMBN team... And I will never pay to watch Downhill racing this is ridicolous...
Gold fox really doesn't suit some of these paint jobs
Fox probably sent everybody a bunch of free forks and paid them to use them too but I agree it does not fit many bikes
You guys should watch pink bike videos before posting you’d be talk about a lot more information
purple n turquoise is not a good colour combo..!
Diet and exercize
It's a shame to ride on some converted ebike. orbea is a failure. the orbey idea is stupid
Probably the ugliest bike I’ve seen this year.
Which one?
probably saracen
@@elslanedog1264 definitely the Specialized
