Skills with phil youtube channel did an episode on this with a former gt engineer, you should watch it.
That’s not a bend… That’s a break. Bikes aren’t meant to take an impact from that direction.
Rides into tree hard. Bike breaks. Simple
Kind of seems like it took a good portion of the impact over a duration of time, likely saving severe injury
That Knolly would never break like this
That’s not a break. That’s a feature.
My norco frame buckled on the down tube when I got hit by a car in a similar fashion. When fast things make a sudden stop things break, thats just physics
I suspect if you hit something that hard, and the bike hadn’t deformed, you would be more hurt. Right?
Enduro bike to XC bike in 5 seconds
I’d rather the frame break and take the momentum than become a human piss missile sent into the unknown 🤷♂️
Crumple zones
I have that first bike, the force pro le. Let’s hope I don’t do that
Ha!! Got that Niner geometry.
# crumple zone
Both riders happen to be recording
Both riders are on GT bikes
Both crash & total their frame
Both walk away
That’s pretty cool
If people are doing that on purpose that’s fucking stupid
I’ve hit stuff way harder and have never had that happen. 40+ years mountain biking. 10 years at the pro level.
