Soho Bikes TV Episode 03 - Which Bike And Wheel Size is Best?

We gathered a “who’s who” of UK downhill and enduro talent (and Rob), headed out of London and 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.

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

I hate Jeffsy!

Bike manufacturer YT causes quite some confusion. With the slogan #IHATEJEFFSY the company out of Forchheim is currently promoting their latest campaign. They have been pretty restrained on giving out any information about their coup. The hate-slogan in combination with some furious-looking ladies is definitely raising a lot of questions. One thing is certain though: On April 7, 2016 the big news will be revealed. The countdown until the date has started on www.JEFFSY.com.

“I really hate JEFFSY”. There could not be a more shattering judgment. On www.JEFFSY.com one can get ready for the launch of something huge. Usually, YT sends across nothing but chilled vibes with their Good Times attitude, however with JEFFSY they seem to unleash a rather unpopular object into the mountain bike world. During the video-interview, sweet Sidney explains why she hates JEFFSY’s guts. Since JEFFSY showed up, it has clearly been going downhill with her boyfriend because he rather spends his free time with JEFFSY than with her. Obviously, frustration is inevitable and she is definitely sick and tired of it. However, her boyfriend Trent can’t stop thinking about his new best buddy JEFFSY: All or nothing, exploring the unknown, overcoming obstacles, being on tour together and just having a good time – sounds quite like the best friend ever.

Those who wish to participate in the HATE-LOVE debate, can do so by using the hashtags #IHATEJEFFSY or #ILOVEJEFFSY on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. YT will elect the best post and a JEFFSY will be raffled as first prize.

On the 7th of April, YT will reveal the secret about the love-hate relationship about JEFFSY. Stay tuned! More information about JEFFSY can be found on www.JEFFSY.com.

Wilder Kaiser Extreme

Johannes Pistrol rides the Steinerne Rinne from Goinger Halt, July 2014. The upper section from the summit down to the upper rinne is relatively straight forward, albeit slightly exposed. The lower section contains the hardest and the most futuristic riding. Johannes didn't clear all sections but this attempt is the most I have seen ridden so far.
