EMTB Podcast Ben Roberts

Jordi Cortes from Fox Factory Racing talks Fort William Downhill World Cup and how riders setup for such a demanding track. And we go through the best of the comments section after our previous conversation about Ebikes.

Summary episode of our mountain bike trip to California. From riding the famous Santa Cruz trails to discovering American portion sizes are too much for us Brits, from riding amongst thousand year old redwoods to seeing our first Tesla Cybertruck! And of course the amazing people we met at the Fox factory in Scotts Valley.

Jordi Cortes is not one to hold back, and in this episode we delve deep into his opinions on bad frame design, the placebo affect of turning a few clicks on a fork, how e-bikers are destroying his local trails and a lot more. I told you he didn't hold back, right?

Time to get technical, with Sean Estes at Fox Factory in California. The new Fox forks have just landed, with a completely new damper. We focus on the Grip X2 found in the 38 and the dual crown 40. Plus info on the limited edition Kashima, Podium Gold 38s.

A great chat with Gareth from Pedal A Bike Away in the Forest of Dean.
We discuss the changing demographic of mountain biking, the rise of ebikes, the future of trail design, plus much more.
