Been riding this around the new XC world cup course this morning. Alot faster on trails/singletrack and uphill then my SX Trail. But its £4200! Carbon Fibre though
So how much of the World Cup Course are you allowed to bike on then?
And I think anything will be faster uphill than your SX Trail.....
Anything is faster uphill then my SX? lol. Now I know it just wasn't the rider that is slow going uphill . All of the Course was open I did 2 laps of it on the demo bike. Yorkshire Man living in Somerset

So did you go down the crazy drop off on the black route? That's if it was still there.0 -

Too right, I'm starting to miss Dalby a little. Didnt think you and Rob still went or had a break from it or something. Need a couple of repairs sorting at the end of the month, rear hub bearings need replacing and a bleed of my brakes is in order, I'll need to get those sorted before I can have a go at Dalby.0 -
You are welcome to borrow my other bike that I use for work: Orange G3, if you want to come to Dalby....0

I would not worry just use the bike, if you come with us!
I finish work on friday so will have plenty of woop woop in Dalby!0 -

That looks like a half decent ride. Me and Altern have done bits of that before, depends which way you go round. You would want to take in the bit after Black Hamnleton as a descent because it is a good one.0 -
