Hello!
My plan is to ride the Transvesubbienne race for spring 2013. But what bike to ride it on? Anyone who have ride the race? I think (from looking at youtube) that a 120 mm bike 69 front angle would be good - but others say that a 140-160 mm Enduro style bike would do the trick best. I ride a pretty nice Canyon Strive EX 7 from last year right now and its a good bike - climb like a goat. But I think it would be to heavy for a 100 km race that also invovles about 3500 vetrical meters of climbing....then again it´s also 4500 vertical meters of downhill

It´s really hard to tell from the video what bikes that can be seen. I think it looks like many riders have a bit of longer suspension than the 80-100 XC standard.
Thank´s
