Downhill is the Formula One of mountain biking, and while we’re not all World Cup racers, it’s a great catwalk to find out what fashions we’ll be seeing on our bikes over the coming years. In this week’s MBUK video, we look at five DH tech trends that could trickle down and make even us lesser mortals faster!
We find out why the pros are making the switch to shorter crank arms and what benefits it could have for you. Also, why swapping wheel sizes might be a thing of the past, bikes may get heavier and riding kit tighter. Plus, we look at the advantages of bigger brake rotors and discuss whether electronic gearboxes with belt drives could take over!
