hey everyone Andy from single trap
0:06
magazine and today we're going to
0:07
broadcast episode five now of a news
0:10
desk so the big news today is the YT
0:13
decoy this is yt's first attempt at an
0:16
ebike and I have to say it's a really
0:18
good first attempt I was over in Ni last
0:20
week riding this bike and it's really
0:23
really really special not only have YT
0:26
made this really clean stealth looking
0:28
ebike they've even developed the own
0:30
battery uh which Shimano allowing them
0:33
to use with the Shimano e8000 motor some
0:36
really cool features integrated battery
0:38
a really small display so you can't
0:40
really tell that it's an ebike they've
0:42
really tried to hide the fact that this
0:44
is an assisted powered bike I'm not
0:46
going to go into all the details uh I
0:48
will tell you though that it starts at £
0:50
4,199 up to £
0:53
5,999 and it has a full carbon frame you
0:56
can see my first ride review over on
0:58
single track magazine now so head over
1:00
there after this video to read
1:03
it okay next news and this is pretty
1:06
interesting cuz uh no one's talking
1:08
about this rock shocks actually released
1:10
a new Fork it's called the uh Rock
1:12
shocks 35 because it has 35mm stanions
1:15
and basically it's a budget fork and I
1:18
believe it's going to be OEM only so
1:19
we're going to find this on U you know
1:22
sub 2,000 full suspension bikes and it's
1:24
basically an Old Pike so it's got travel
1:27
ranging from 100 to 160 mm of travel
1:30
we've got a motion ride damper really
1:32
Burly chassis we've got fast black
1:34
extensions it looks like a really really
1:36
cool fork and I don't actually know why
1:38
anyone's not talking about it so that's
1:40
pretty cool next news is the orange 5 so
1:43
chips actually did a video on this
1:45
earlier in the week Orange has released
1:47
I think it's the mark 12 Orange 5 which
1:50
it's kind of nuts that's we're getting
1:52
into Iron Man territory now like Mark a
1:54
million or whatever so we're on the mark
1:56
12 Orange 5 it still runs on 27.5 in
1:59
wheel
2:00
and but obviously orange have tweaked it
2:02
a little bit it's got longer lower and
2:04
slacker of course it's got a 65° head
2:07
angle 74° seat angle but the best thing
2:10
about it is it's finally got a bottle
2:12
cage on the down tube again I'm not
2:14
going to go into the full details head
2:16
over to single track magazine you can
2:17
see the full details and watch chips's
2:20
comparison video uh online now all right
2:23
we're heading into the realm of
2:25
Instagram now and uh you may already
2:27
know that I've been basically stalking
2:29
Cedric graia because ever since he left
2:31
Santa Cruz I've been wondering what is
2:33
he up to I have emailed him he has
2:35
promised he will tell us what he's up to
2:37
but I'm still going to go I'm still
2:39
going to try and find it out before he
2:40
tells me now uh his latest posts
2:43
actually show him riding a bike and we
2:45
can only see the bike face on there's
2:47
actually two pictures I've only got one
2:48
picture here to show you you can't
2:50
really see it in this but if you go to
2:52
his Instagram feed if you zoom in on the
2:54
front of that bike you'll see that it's
2:55
got an adjustable head tube on it not
2:58
just cups that you can move about but an
3:00
actual head tube that is pinched
3:02
together a lot like Cedric's VIP common
3:05
styes from back in the day so this is
3:08
interesting uh is he going back to Comm
3:10
andal I did hear that rumor last week I
3:13
don't believe that's the case but
3:14
whatever he's up to he's going to tell
3:15

3:46
this great news for G's bike brand the
3:49
otherton bike brand sorry but it's also
3:50
great news for G because it kind of
3:52
hints that he might be back on form we
3:54
did see at the end of last year that he
3:55
was doing really really well uh and this
3:58
is you know this is great news hopefully
3:59
will see him in the podiums more in the
4:01
World Cup okay next piece of news this
4:05
kind of comes from the single trap
4:06
forums and other little uh you know
4:09
pieces of information I've been hearing
4:11
on the Grapevine apparently sick
4:13
bicycles everyone's favorite t-shirt uh
4:15
bicycle frame company have been you know
4:18
they might have to change the name uh we
4:20
don't know what they're changing the
4:21
name to uh we don't know if this is a
4:23
100% fact but we do know they will be at
4:26
the London bike show um this week
4:29
tomorrow in fact so if I'm feeling brave
4:31
I might go and ask Jordan hey what's
4:33
going on and just keep my fingers
4:35
crossed he don't punch me in the face
4:37
all right next piece of news is from
4:39
French suspension brand motion Ride Now
4:42
last year I actually got to test the
4:44
motion ride linkage fork with matw from
4:46
motion ride so it is a really good Fork
4:48
if you ever get a chance to ride one
4:50
really really try it it looks like a
4:52
praying mantis but it it rides like a
4:54
Magic Carpet it's amazing uh at taipe
4:56
show which is happening now motion Rider
4:59
actually la launching their rear shock
5:01
uh interestingly it looks kind of
5:03
conventional it's got a regular coil
5:05
spring it has a regular reservoir pigat
5:07
reservoir on there nothing really
5:10
standing out from what information we've
5:12
been sent looking at that picture
5:14
closely I can see that the the green uh
5:16
lever I believe is low speed rebound and
5:19
the there's a low speed compression
5:21
adjustment at the top as well but other
5:23
than that I'm not really sure what makes
5:25
this any different from another coil
5:27
shock so we're waiting for full details
5:29
of that come out I do know the pricing
5:31
though the full RRP of that shock will
5:33
be
5:35
990 uh but if you get it in the early
5:37
pre-order it's $792 bargain or you can
5:40
order the fork and the shop for €
5:43
1,990 Which is less than a trust Fork so
5:46
uh very interesting if you're really
5:47
into shock news shocking news you'll
5:50
like this one this is from intend it's a
5:53
German brand and they're also working on
5:55
a rear shock now intend um is they were
5:58
part well not not really part of
6:00
Cornelius from intend he used to work
6:02
for trick stuff and they're the guys who
6:04
make those really powerful breaks that
6:06
the addons are using this year now uh
6:08
Cornelius left to to start intend and
6:11
they made these really cool uh Upside
6:13
Down single Crown suspension Fork some
6:15
really nice crank stems and now they're
6:17
working on their own rear shock uh again
6:20
we don't know much about it we do know
6:21
it's an air shock we do know it uses two
6:24
uh I don't know if that's a piggy B cuz
6:26
it almost looks the same size as the
6:27
actual airshaft itself we do know though
6:30
it's only going to weigh 454 grams and
6:33
it's going to come in a lots of
6:34
different colors so uh if you like to
6:35
keep your bike color coordinated that's
6:37
the one to look at and the final piece
6:39
of news is last week I should have been
6:42
