Review: Specialized Dissident 2 Helmet - Downhill Safety at an Enduro Weight

@KJP1230 's right, and I'd even say that we could avoid a sensible number of concussion by having lighter helmets. The problem is that helmets validation standards mainly ensure that the skull won't break in the event of a direct impact to the head. Concussion occurs when the brain hits the inside of the skull, which can happen long before the skull breaks and even without a direct impact on the head (whiplash for example). A lighter helmet means that it's easier for the neck to control the movements of the head and to keep it stable in the event of a crash. So the trend towards DH-rated full-face helmets weighing less than 1kg is a very good one. They just need to come down in price too.

Some were on the Epic WC, some on the Epic Evo. Depends of the race and each rider preference.

2022 Pinkbike Awards: Performance of the Year Nominees

What about Bruni ? The man had his shoulder dislocated a week or two before the world champs, raced at home with maybe the most pressure he ever had and still managed to smoke everyone. Speaking of pure racing performance, that's something.

@gorideabicycle: Unless BMC made her a special frame with an unique carbon layout, the Twostroke is quite heavy. The frame itself is over 1 kg, that's 200 to 300 g more than the "best" hardtails of the market. Geometry is top-notch but BMC wasn't targeting WC riders when they made the bike, more your local regional / national cup racer.

Entry List for the Les Gets World Champs 2022

Cabirou won't race, even if she appears on the list. Might be the same for Balanche and Seagrave.

Holy Moly. 40 psi + DD + insert ? Is he aiming for square edges when landing at 50 kph or what ?

@rp86: Yes but he let Schuermans through right after, it looked like he hadn't seen him before or thought he had time.
