I still stand by my recommendation. A 5 AM is all most of us will ever need.
Rowan looks smooth on camera, but you only see the edited footage, and when he really sends it, he lands freakin hard. His skill means he’s hitting everything twice as hard as us regular joes on a regular basis. He spends maybe half an hour’s footage (about 20 runs) hitting cutties to get the perfect shot, and that puts a lot of lateral stress on the wheels and frame. And when he does crash, it’s a lot bigger than you or me dropping it.
Bike parts get more of a thrashing at 40+mph than they do at the 32mph I can safely manage on my runs down trail centre runs, but the package holds up even under these extremely demanding conditions.
