Gamux. I went to their website and visited their KZfaq page and was a bit disappointed though. Some links were broken and basically a dead channel that hasn’t posted in a year. Most of their videos had 100 views or so. Not a good sign of a well ran company.

The new Pivot lugged carbon frame reminds me of my old Specialized Allez Epic (circa 1991). I also recall that frame lacked torsional rigidity making it feel dead on climbs. So that makes me wonder if Pivot is trying to remove some rigidity from their frame and make it more forgiving in some situations? I would reference the decades old theory in the moto world about steel frames being more forgiving than aluminum with respect to MX and SX. Just a thought...Maybe further backed up by the fact that the very first upgrade they made was to design a more rigid chain guide which appeared in BK's vlog at Lenzerheide.

This tech insides are the best

@the.bryce.maxwell 11 ай бұрын

Quick point of clarification - Telemetry is transmitting data remotely in real time (think space travel or F1) where the techs can analyze multiple sensors in real time. Seems like the MTB industry is conflating this term with "onboard data collection" which is the act of collecting data (in this case suspension) and offloading the collected data after the fact to a computer.

@everyhandletaken 11 ай бұрын

Yup & this misconception occurs frequently in the automotive industry too

Pull shock on the specialized? Or just some new linkage?

@303BikeRider 11 ай бұрын

Looks like a rocker around the bb and a pull link from bottom of chain stay to rocker under bb. Nice marketing creating a mystery.

Because they are some other cranks with a saint sticker on it for sponsor correctness ;)

#askgmbntech what’s the difference in performance and ride feel of a progressive frame with a linear coil shock versus a linear frame single pivot running the new prog coils from Cane and MRP?

@jordanmackay3568 11 ай бұрын

Progressive coil is like a volume spacer in air. Pretty simple

Did the Atherton’s not patent their lugged carbon frames?

@Mankylovlov 11 ай бұрын

i think it’s been done a few times before then, i know one of the first carbon bikes trek made was like that, carbon tubes leading into metal bits.

@liambaines9594 11 ай бұрын

a lot of manufacturers have used lugged carbon frames before.... even colnago on their road stuff.

@richardpayne5176 11 ай бұрын

Yeah even old road bikes have used this kind of method so it’s been around a while just not quite as high tech

@madeiradriftin4429 11 ай бұрын

Adding to this, theres a video on one of the sister channels of a bike with this concept but out of wood! EXPENSIVE ONE

@user-ex1rf8hb7g 11 ай бұрын

If you are going to talk about "Telemetry" please make sure you're getting your terminology correct. Telemetry is the real time broadcasting of dynamic data, data logging is the capture of dynamic data for later download and analysis. It may sound pedantic, but in many forms of motorsport Telemetry is banned and data logging is not so the terminology is important. I would suspect that DH mtb is data logging, not telemetry.

Telemetry, electronic shocks/forks, ABS on the horizon. Where does it end. Less e-bikes please. Eventually all they are going to be missing is a motor.
