As for their geometry, the pods, especially short, which favor the descent into very steep slopes. In the original model, the rear diversion was built in wood! And the brake disco holes drew the name of the cyclist himself: Myles Rockwell. The introduction of the pistons in the braking system also involved a novelty. They were different times.
📺 To remember. In the following video you can recall the victory of Miles Rockwell in Sierra Nevada, on the back of the Giant Atx One, whose replica was exposed in Vélo Vert. [embed] https://youtu.be/lddwcywatfo[/embed]

Natural paradise and cradle of MTB
During the next few years, the Vélo Festival will continue to be held every first weekend in the tourist Enclave de Samoëns. A superb protected alpine territory, which saw the birth and grow the mountain bike. In fact, he has always hosted great MTB tests, including the very World Series Enduro (EWS).
After these three days of stay, we have understood why this municipality has won the award as the most beautiful town in this area of the French Alps. Peace, beauty ... and bicycles!

Fernando enjoyed a Lapierre XRM 8.9 2022. Perhaps a way of paying tribute to the French brand, which celebrates its 75th anniversary. Another of the bikes we diffrute was the Cannondale Jekyll 2022, with its characteristic hidden damper. Spectacular, don't you think?
