Soho Bikes TV – Bike and Wheelsize Showdown

Peaty, Mosely, Seagrave and Warner try the current range of wheel sizes and pit them against the toughest DH run at BPW and find out if an enduro bike is quicker than a DH machine

For Episode 3 of Soho Bikes TV we gathered a “who’s who” of UK downhill and enduro talent (and Rob), and headed out of London to hit the trails at BikePark Wales to test the following:

– Is a downhill bike faster than a modern enduro bike on a UK downhill track?
– Which wheel size is faster down a UK downhill track; mid travel 29er, 27.5 or 27.5+?

We taped off the most technical downhill track at BikePark Wales and used Action Sport Timing’s race-timing system to gather data from the riders on their different bikes over multiple runs. The timing data showed which bikes were fastest…but the rider discussion and feedback showed that drawing definite conclusions isn’t actually that simple.

Insightful results, provocative opinions and plenty of laughs in the most exciting episode of Soho Bikes TV yet!
