Hello everyone and welcome to another Pink Bike podcast. I think this one's number 47. I'm not so sure

about that, but I'm sure about the topic today. We're talking about high pivot bikes. So we've

seen a ton of high pivot bikes over the last for years,

from downhill bikes to trail bikes. We've actually almost tested most of them too. And I say that,

but it's actually, it's Kazimer that's ridden the large majority of them, including the new

forbidden dreadnought that was just released. I have Kazma here today. Kaz, how many high pivot bikes

did you ride this weekend? Three or four? No, I Cass, how many high pivot bikes did you ride this weekend?

Three or four? No, I didn't ride any high pivot bikes this weekend. But in the past few weeks,

I've ridden a bunch. What did I ride this weekend? No, I went skiing this weekend, and then I

went skiing this weekend, and then I went to ski. I rode an electric bike. Well, I guess I should, I skied one day, I rode a normal bike one day, and then I

e-bike the next day. I took a three-day weekend, so I did all the things. Well, you ready to talk

about high pivot bikes anyway, even though you didn't ride one on the weekend? I didn't ride on the weekend.

I wrote a lot of them. Yeah, so yes, we can talk about them. Right. And to ask us some of the hard questions about those bikes, we've got boss man Brian Park.

And we've also got the bread pudding to my chocolate pudding, James Smirthwaite.

Hey, James, were there any high pivot bikes in the news recently?

You know, it is funny you say that, Mike.

It is.

You just mentioned the forbidden dreadnought and you know whenever i

looked at that druid the the earlier forbidden bike it always looked to me like it should have

you know longer travel than that 130 millimeter probably due to that sort of high pivot and idler

set up and now there is a forbidden bike with travel to match that look. And that's the dreadnought.

The travel's bumped up to 154 millimeters.
