Les Gets 2021 Post-Race Show - a podcast by Downtime MTB

The second round of the Mountain Bike World Cup in Les Gets delivered an incredible show. I'm joined, as ever, by Eliot Jackson and Neko Mulally to get the inside line on what went down over the week. In a race with so many amazing moments, there is a lot to talk about as well as answering your listener questions. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Eliot and Neko.

I have had a set of earSHOTS for about 6 months now and I’ve been really impressed. I’ve tried them with a couple of different helmets, over a mixture of terrain including some pretty rough rocky stuff and they really do stay in place.

Nukeproof







Nukeproof's first eBike, the Megawatt is available now. The bike is getting rave reviews, with Seb Stott saying that they've smashed it out of the park.







It’s based on their race winning Mega v4 but designed as an eBike around Shimano’s EP8 motor from the get go. It’s a mullet that sports 170mm travel front and rear. They’ve made some smart decisions when designing the kinematic of the bike, optimising the anti-squat to create a bike that descends like a downhill bike, but, with the motor onboard, can still climb like an escalator. The bike is supple off the top whilst remaining progressive and supportive through the rest of the travel.They’ve also managed to fit in a 500ml bottle, or 620ml with the supplied adaptor mount and an accessory mount on the top tube too. To find out more, head to nukeproof.com.
