As someone who's 105kg I have never been able to get an air shock to feel right. Would love to see some PB reviews where the rider is a heavier set individual.

@j-t-g: I'm with you on this one, smaller brands will cater to the masses. Where as the big brands have everything from XS-XXL. If they can only afford to produce 2-3 frame size options, they're going to be the most popular

This comment is the "I just ride whatever good deal I find on PB buy/sell" option

Lets remember, It's a diamond level event, you have to be invited to ride. The least they can do is fly riders out, feed em, house em, health insurance em, and a base pay of a couple grand for anyone who doesn't podium (maybe even start cutting bigger cheques for 4th,5th place too), along with riders having more control over safety, start times, weather decisions etc. Event organizers want to put on a show, so pay your performers. There are more than enough multi million dollar companies sponsoring these events, they can find the funds. I think thats fair. In a perfect world all of these guys would make a comfortable living off riding, but it's not. I think it's a very special thing to be able to say you travel and make money from doing your life's greatest passion with you're friends. There are very very few people on this planet that will never know what that's like. I hope the sport does expand to the point where there's more money in it for riders.

Love the comeback norco has been making over the last few years. Love to see it
