Marketing dribble overload

You take that back!

Mondraker says it will "take your bike's handling to the next level" and represents "a watershed moment in the future of suspension set-up and the subsequent experience for the rider.

Sorry. Next level watershed. It’s awesome. Buy it.

Pretty sure they all have the same guy, working with a random trendy word generator.

I try but fear it will derail again.

Should post more new gearbox bikes then...

Flowduro is XC with untimed climbs. Yes, I’m serious.

So it is the opposite of down country?

Bikes need to have simpler categories. I propose:

• lame: anything currently considered associated with xc/CX/road/Lycra/koms/KMs/fat/plus/elevationgains/leg shaving...
• casual: a day out on the trail with your buddies
• shit yeah: gravity is more influential on your speed than pedalling.
• lazy: e

Do you use a Downcountry bike or is there a special Flowduro bike?

Up country!

Is that a clever pun? Gearboxes ok. E Bikes no.

Up country!

Oh man. Another category. I can’t keep up!

Downhill pumptrack championships?

Yes please! That'd be something I'd love to try.

Purely a pun bouncing of your use of the word "derail". I wouldn't denigrate gearbox bikes by associating them with eBikes!

Run your bike single speed and that's essentially how you descend, it's awesome fun.

Just imagine the speeds at the bottom of the hill!

And getting to the top again?

Haha, regardless - there's not nearly enough rollers or small doubles/triples/whoops in most trails for my tastes. The last third of Flowtown at Falls Creek is a hoot for that. Super easy, but just pump the ever-increasingly tall rollers and get boosted to ridiculous speeds.

I agree with you on the last bit of Flowtown, it was an easy section to hold your speed and no need to touch the brakes.

Catch phrase bingo...take a shot!
