KOM ON THE GNARLIEST DH TRACK!!! (GLENCOE BLACK)

I took a look on Strava to see what the fastest time was down the black route section at Glencoe Mountain and decided I’d give it a go on a timed run. The black section starts just off the main road and the course has changed over the years and yes Strava is not crazy accurate but it’s just some fun at the end of the day! Pretty sure that track is actually a lot slower than it used to be and it’s certainly the gnarliest it’s ever been in my opinion! Enjoy this intense full run, make sure you give it a like, comment below and subscribe if you have not already! Cheers

Lewis! That was insane. My heart was in my mouth and you were so calm! No wonder you won there. That is one of tue most committed pieces of riding I've seen on CZcams this year 🙌

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks!

[@garethwoods1562]

I done the red track at Glencoe 2 year ago and couldn't even attempt the black. My man what an absolute beast of a run you put down on that enduro rig. Serious skill and big ole set of goolies on you boy!

[@LewisBuchanan]

Thanks haha!

I'm guessing I'd be a wee bit slower on my Optic and it's all just the bike right LOL. Amazing run and it's cool listening to you talk to yourself as you race. You were flying down some gnarly stuff there.

Can you make a review of the sight vs the range?

[@TheHikerBikerzScotland]

Wow, do you do coaching or recommend anyone? I though the track started at top section, got 4 and a half minutes on my first ever day second lap, i'm a newbie and not skilled at all. 4 runs in a day is good experience but can feel it!

[@Fit4Racing]

Wow! So fast!

[@frederickmerle6412]

Glencoe is truly horrendous especially on an Enduro bike. How amazing are modern Enduro bikes when you can ride this kind of course at that speed? Awesome. What rear tyre you on to cope with that?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Amazing for sure. I was using maxxis assegsi dh casing 2.5 front and rear 👌🏽 with Cush core pro set inside

[@euanwilbert6925]

menace

[@LewisBuchanan]

😂

[@MyBetsie]

2.36 from the road drop in is really fast for an Enduro bike. 2.12 was the fastest run a at British champs 2 years ago from where the SDA started the other week. The track is so blown out now though.

[@LewisBuchanan]

I figured! Felt so sketchy between all the features

[@adrianq4753]

Enduro bike taking a beating 🔥😂

[@LewisBuchanan]

Oh yup haha

[@sammilburn445]

wow, you really should race the ews or start riding dh again and try get into the downhill world cup! to go that fast on an enduro bike is mental

Pinned! Hey Lewis, did you get a 2:58 on the Glencoe Red?! That's what I came up with watching the feed.

[@LewisBuchanan]

Hey! I got a 3:02 in the race. But i think I went faster in my video. I’m unsure honestly!

Sights a rad lil bike but this range is a game changer on the rougher stuff

[@leetori1]

On an Enduro rig?

[@billybirks1403]

Is this the kom on Strava or the all time fastest?

[@LewisBuchanan]

Bit of both. The track has changed over the years. So I just took the fastest time from Strava and where the black officially starts and roughly finishes! Strava is pretty inaccurate anyway at times tbh

[@thingswelike]

KOM from fireroad down is 1:48 isn't it?
