Mr. John Lawlor, awesome stuff this! I hope there will be more where that came from. 🙏🏻 I enjoy seeing everything so much clearer in slowmo. And the sound is hilarious sometimes. 😂

Cudos to the editor and videographer , that's some serious work into this, first rate

[@MrEtienne6657]

Those Manitou Dorados look great!
Besides that, i wonder if Loris will ride the Pirelli Shorty or his usual Pirelli DHR2... 🤔

[@CatManDoSocial]

Very nice video, John. These slow motion videos really accentuate how much the rear suspension is affected by braking. There are times where the rear looks to be completely locked out. I know it's a very difficult problem/balance that bike designers are working with but you can see that there are a lot of gains to be made in that area.

[@rarelycomments]

It's one of the major disadvantages of high pivots IMO. Floating brake arms were around back in the day. Perhaps due for a comeback?

[@duroxkilo]

do you mind explaining to me a bit what it means? :P

[@SylvainProov]

Love it! you clearly can see high end rebound/compression here ^^ btw what are the shoes at 6:22?

[@AlgerianAce]

No one did a manual on the first 3 pumps 😭

[@Nukeemall]

Thanks John.
To turkey talk fans, the convo starts at 3:14

[@rarelycomments]

Are the Ohlins fork riders on a new version?
Looks to be working much better than last year.

[@tomassanesson902]

Sooo awesome epik video

[@liquidSpin]

No matter what type of linkage suspension they are riding on they all appear to work the same with only subtle differences.

[@DionEconomopoulos-tb1vn]

Commencal was the clear winner

[@philippjansen8545]

First thing I thought as well. Where are the rocks?

[@thescerigai]

[@DrJGang]

There are a few inappropriate contacts between riders and innocent bikes
