Best Mountain Bike Technology
– Welcome to the GCN Tech Show. He’s back and well, we’ve got new bikes, hubs, rims, and even some prototype tires. – And our main talking point this week, you’re going to love this, right? – Go on. – The next bike you buy, should it be rim brake or disc brake? – I […]
– We have got a very exciting first look for you here today. This is the brand new Wilier Zero SLR. (upbeat electronic music) Now, Wilier is one of the most historic and recognizable bike brands in the world. This is its first super lightweight bike with disc brakes and fully concealed cables. In case […]
– Spinning versus grinding it’s an age-old question that road riders have agonized over for decades. Pedal faster to go faster, spin to win. – Yeah even at higher-level mountain biking we see a lot of grinding going on especially as cross country pros. – But this is e-biking and we still spin but for […]
– For today’s video we’ve enlisted the help of Emma Pooley. A name that will no doubt be familiar to many of you. If you don’t know who she is, she has been a world champion in the Time Trial, she’s won four stages of the Giro d’Italia, and she’s won La Flèche Wallonne. We […]
– Road cycling has been undergoing a change in recent years in that it’s no longer confined to just roads. – Take for example, that mountain over their Jebel Shams it’s the highest peak in Oman the third highest on the Arabian Peninsula. By all accounts it is a fantastic ride to the top but […]
– When it comes to climbing, you might well have seen The Slab, a crazy, steep, 37 degree rockface in the middle of a city center. Well, (mumbles) you might have seen this, The Rock, more of a big mountain free climb up in the mountains. Or you might’ve seen the climb we did at […]
– Chris, why on earth would you choose a hardtail over a full suspension bike? – Why on earth would you choose a full suspension over a hardtail, eh Steve? – Because you like the performance. – No, it’s about the cost of money, come on. – No, it’s about the performance. – No. – […]
– The Passo Croce d’Aune. At 8.5 kilometers long with an average gradient of 7.8%, it’s a nice climb but it’s nothing to write home about. I mean, it’s never been decisive in the Giro, for example. But legend has it that it was the scene of a pivotal moment, not in a race, but […]
– We have done some crazy steep stuff on our bikes over the last few months, but it’s all been very urban, very manmade. It’s all very well and good but we thought it’s time to come to some proper mountains, which is why, Chris, I’ve brought you here. – What, some old ruins and […]
– And it is that 704 watt hour battery that allows you that great range on your E-Bike (laughs) – What’s that? – Dan Lloyd just sent me a message, fancy a mad one in Monaco? Wow, he is not as straight laced as I thought he was wow. Gosh, sorry I’ve got to go. […]
