David Cachon is a Spanish MTB rider who made a name for himself winning trials competitions, but in recent years he is better known for creating adventure videos, photo epics and generally wheeling through the mountains to the delight of his fans and sponsors.
If you want to get a rough idea of the types of things he likes to get up to then check out his latest edit below.
David joined Indonesian brand Patrol for 2021 and has been primarily been riding their updated enduro bike, the Patrol 691 Evo.
You might see a very Shimano-centric build here with a full Shimano XT 1 x 12 drivetrain, Shimano brakes and even Pro finishing kit (Shimano’s own component brand).SR Suntour provides control of the Evo’s 150mm of rear wheel movement and upfront David also runs an SR Suntour Auron 160mm fork. We’ve even been told his settings with the TriAir rear shock set at 190psi and the Auron fitted with 4 volume spacers 90psi, 2 clicks of high and 8 of low-speed compression.Vittoria launched a bunch of new tread last year and here we have the Mazza fitted to the 691 Evo. The Mazza is aimed at the trail/enduro end of the market featuring an aggressive tread pattern.
Powerful XT brakes keep David’s trial exploits under control.

Andi is a gadget guru and mountain biker who has lived and ridden bikes in China and Spain before settling down in the Peak District to become Singletrack's social media expert. He is definitely more big travel fun than XC sufferer but his bike collection does include some rare hardtails - He's a collector and curator as well as a rider. Theory and practice in perfect balance with his inner chi, or something. As well as living life based on what he last read in a fortune cookie Andi likes nothing better than riding big travel bikes.
