As a guy who has eaten one to many donuts in his life Barge's set up speaks to me. If I had a bike park bike that would be it. I wouldn't change a thing. Brandon's would be my go anywhere, do anything bike.
I love how he just let his guy set the bike up and just rides it.. I hear he's out tonight now.. Sad day him and Andreu are the loosest and gnarliest riders
@@TimFromWales I'm pretty sure his mechanic is his dad or his uncle. I've seen videos of him setting up his bike before and he just looks like an older version of Barge. Which would explain the trust levels. Yes I saw the Barge drop and its not a nice watch at all. I'm gutted because I like his riding style and his run would have been awesome but most of all I just hope he is ok
@@CalgaryDynastar HaHa! Give me a chain and a cassette tool some links and a 12 speed cassette and I will 12 speed that baby in 10 mins flat. Hey, you'll thank me for that 190mm up front on a world cup downhill track but I could add a lock out if that makes you happy lol
@@underbikedoverconfident1142 I would be taking the chair up with a DH rig for the World Cup track 😎. He’s def looking to raise the bar and think outside the box this year, Brandon is always pushing the sport.
Don't surprise me that all those who prefer Shimano brakes at Rampage use Saint brakes.. they are absolutely the best I've ever had, now I use 8020 that are pretty similar but new 8120 brakes have't absolutely the same power... Michelin tires and tubes are common too that's interesting.

Hope Brage is ok to ride tonight, can wait to see his line… Brandon Semenuk is a busy guy? Surely they all are - love his riding but 10 mins with PinkBike wouldn’t have killed him.
@@ScotHastings I thought the same thing, but surely with the massive impacts from 40 ft drops or whatever they're doing, the risk of that front tire exploding is still substantial. not ideal for getting a good result or for general safety. idk, it is Brandon Semenuk. I'm sure that legend know what he's doing.
Hope has offered ventilated discs for a long time, so nothing new and it serves the purpose Matt stated. Does it make a difference? Probably not, other than flushing more money into Hope's bank account. 😄
@@Ganiscol it's all depends. They might he useful when you : (especially combination of those three) - are really heavy - burning your discs too often - riding really long fast downhill trails Or if you need more modulation which means smaller disc that remains cool for longer. That's what I think.
Loved this series, thanks for getting heights and weights on the second round. I guessed Kyle Strait was about my size (6ft 220) but didn’t need to guess on Brage lol
63psi with 3 tokens, seriously?! I bottom out at 90 psi and 5 tokens at 1m drops and I’m the same weight as he is. Riding style, lines and landing angles are making a HUGE difference in what bike settings you need I guess. How bad my local trails and my riding style must be…
@@RockyPondProductions Thanks mate, thought it was two separate rotors with air between them but I figured that would make it worse and super noisy if they bent haha
Zeb for some reason needs really low pressures(maybe really small negative chamber havent really been able to figure out why) i run 35psi for 25% sag in mine and i weigh 80kg
Great bike , rides smooth th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing .
I`am very proud of Szymon Godziek! Stay true!
Nie tylko ty! Pozdro
I’m loving the variety of bikes in the rampage event, so cool to get the bike checks from each of the pros :)
Cheers! Doing my best with all the variety -Christina

Mmm I dunno if I agree with do anything 😅 With a 190 up front and that tiny cassette there’s no way hell I would be climbing with that rig.

I know lol
One of the hardest diggers and riders out there for sure! -Christina
@@pinkbike Could have spared 5 mins though
ya for real he is totally gonna win

As soon as 38mm single crowns came out i knew rampage was gonna see something extra sick
Don't know how old you are, but when I was a kid some other guys were riding RS Totem, which was a single crown 40 mm

Good Luck 🤘🏆
Love these bikes checks! Christina does a great job and knows what she's talking about.
Thank you! -Christina
the tech on brandon's bike is insane. the xx1 axs shifter with gold dh cassete and the single crown is just another level
63.5 psi is a totally normal fork pressure... The variation between the rider's is super interesting!
Christina did such a great job!! Thanks for getting into as much detail as possible with them in such a short bit of time.
semenuk's bike is quite possibly the sickest thing i have ever seen
Love the bike checks, Christina really did a good job going over everything. Can't wait for tomorrow.
Why did no one mention Brandon’s headset spacer? I love that it’s a stanchions!
Godziek's on fire! I'm expecting a podium for him this year!
Hey Christina! Your my favorite rider and my inspiration to start. Thank you!
The best wheels set up 26" rear 27.5" front.
It's proven that for aggressive riding smaller sizes are the best
Loving your work Christina! Awesome to see all the bike set ups.
Love how Semenuk is so antisocial he doesnt even present his Bike
He was buisy clown
The fuck you talkin about
Es el Rey
Antisocial? Nah
thankyou for checking out Brandon Semenuks bike. What a sick ride!!
Awesome video. Man you got some sweet back stage access there!

now i need double rotors too for some reason
those look like vented rotors used in cars
@@kekhrieshuya5479 yeah they are actually vented.
Great content guys...loving the bike checks 🤘
Thank you! It's been fun to capture it -Christina
Can't wait for the Hope Tech 4 to come out ! 6:15
Don't forget Vincent Tupin's Scott Gambler with hope Tech 4 V4 ! 14:39

Double discs - just for steez
Cool to see the variety of rigs at rampage! Go Pinkbike
i love the updates from pink bike
This was awesome! Clicked on it thinking id skip through most of it but no, great content. I just wanna se what you do next! Thanks
Thank you! So much great stiff to talk about on those bikes but we had to keep it short..ish -Christina
semunuks session is nuts
That Zeeb looks beautiful!
I enjoy those bike checks a lot, but all I have near me looks like the shire. But as I said, I love bike checks.
Hope Brage is ok to ride tonight, can wait to see his line…
Brandon Semenuk is a busy guy? Surely they all are - love his riding but 10 mins with PinkBike wouldn’t have killed him.
he was probably digging when they were filming? They only have so much daylight to work with...
He just lazy as hell
@@hobmarg I get that, but really 5-10 mins wouldnt have hurt..
Really sad brage cant ride, was really lookin forward for his run
Loving the Bike Check & Christina is Great on the Tech & Interview..
Thanks so much. I really appreciate the riders giving me some of their time -Christina
Semenuks bike is wild with axs and zeb
shoutout to the debonair spacer
Semenuk como siempre inovando
Great content, thanks!
Interesting to see box one there hehe
Ive never seen double disc in my entire life until i saw this video.
SAME! -Christina
Hol' up...13:13 EXO casing??? at rampage??? brandon is crazy or he's just been using that tire for practice
be with an insert be more than fine but depends on wheels too.
Good eye! It is only the front, but still…

I was quite surprised but it's what he likes so why mess with that?! That bike was super light compared to the others -Christina
He doesn't have to be " social" he just win Rampages and Subaru rallys!
Sick Bikes and some awesome riding to come
Looks like a session
Christina: guys are just about to head out for lunch
Carson: "licking lips"
My brother and I cannot decided wether or not the Session with a single crown fork was a DH bike, I think it is
Wonder how many people gonna try double rotors now... Never saw that before!
Nice content 🤩👍
Jeez, what I wouldn’t do to have any one of these bikes!
Szymon running double discs? how does that work?
It's extra ventilation and temperature is distributed better
Hope has offered ventilated discs for a long time, so nothing new and it serves the purpose Matt stated. Does it make a difference? Probably not, other than flushing more money into Hope's bank account. 😄

6:06 wait. He's using Novatec hubs? That's not a AliExpress brand? Damn
Anyone else notice Brandon swapped to the older Code levers for his run?
Yes, calipers as well. Kyle Strait also used the same brakes.
this is a good vid

Yeah these bikes are nice I guess but did you know that there's a Grim Donut V2!
Brandon semenuk in mma is a welterweight guy
What was the size on the RM Maiden?
Carson is running a medium.
Im glad suntour forks are now being used by pro riders.
Hold on what's up with the double discs?
Better heat transfer. Aluminum between two stainless steel hard bearing surfaces

63.5psi on semenuk's fork, is that a typo?
635 psi
Zeb for some reason needs really low pressures(maybe really small negative chamber havent really been able to figure out why) i run 35psi for 25% sag in mine and i weigh 80kg
Nope, totally correct. Sounds quite low compared to the DH forks but it's accurate and is tuned just for him -Christina
@@domenjeram9180 oh right, that completely slipped my mind. makes a lot more sense now!
nice video, but i mean it's szymon like symon and not shiemon xD
I just noticed that Szymon has a bigger rear wheel than the rear. You can correct me if I am wrong. Love your videos pink bike, keep it up.
Also I noticed that Brandon is going all out with his bike
I ❤ UTAH
gambler is very pretty, but it is all the same session)
single crowns don't belong at rampage!!!!!!!!! jk yes they do
Double disc rotors? What is this madness
That's not too crazy is it? Hope has some for like 130 bucks a piece. There's literally no way to get them to overheat on a normal day in the park
If you overheat in a bike park, you brake too much anyway 😄
"Just for steez"

Lets see Sorge's EVIL!!
mmmoooiiiiisssstttttt
Anyone else blow out at the single crown
Can you imagine asking a World Cup xc rider about his full set up?? I’m guessing you’d get about 90% less set up info.
Thank you! I definitely learned a LOT about freeride bikes this week. Their setups are wild! -Christina
