Fox gave us a look at their new racing-only project, the SpeedSuit RS. Select downhill mountain bike athletes will be wearing it at the first World Cup in Fort William, Scotland, this weekend, and we wanted to find out if it was legal for them to wear. If so, what is the design is all about? Racers like Jackson Goldstone have been stoked on how comfortable it is and how fast it makes them feel. We even ask how one goes to the bathroom once they're wearing it.

Can definietly see a benefit to a bib style pant in terms of comfort to move better but the execution does seem weird. Biggest issue is the fact that it is seen as needed. Downhill has progressed way to much into speed tracks, we want more steep technical tracks not aero comps....I can watch the tour for that lol

@Rob-fy9iw 16 күн бұрын

TBH it looks exactly the same as the riders do in their current normal two piece kits, but they've got more comfort. Anyone talking about how they look so much different apparently hasn't watched a DH WC race in like 5 years.

Yes, this will definitely progress the sport. It is so innovative and genius really. I have been having a hard time keeping up with my friends on the bike. I have a top of the range enduro bike, with factory suspension and all the best parts and now I know why I wasn't getting better and keeping up, it's because I didn't have a speed suit that allowed me to progress.

I know everyone is clowning in this in the comments, but I've always had an issue with feeling uncomfortable in armour that uses lyrca or Velcro fixing, I hate how it feels on the skin, it rubs, shifts separately from your skin and the outside clothes and is always noticable and I've been desperate for a full motorcycle style suit to use whist cycling. this is getting close.

So when the fabric rips or if you wanna wash it - what´s going to happen with the "guard"? Will these be trash then?, Can one simply replace/repair the fabric themselfs? Guards sewn in for me sounds like a bit of a mission for peeps without a sewing machine and matching skills..

Just wondering how this is nowadays still a thing when it´s obviously smarter to focus on products than can be repaired rather than tossed away ;-) Not an eco crazy lad but - sometimes one must question humanity & especially as said earlier ...these days. Pros race not just 1 race a year usually...imagine inventing one of those suits making it easy to swap the armor -> big step forward and good example for the "little" ones like myself who just ride

Not at all when victory is decided by 0.1 sec. Riders currently use pins to tighten the jerseys around their upper body. This is a valid solution to a problem.
