GMBN Presents The Global Mountain Bike Show

Welcome back to the GMBN weekly show The Global Mountain Bike Show. This week we are discussing pro MTB salaries. Riders such as Tom Pidcock, Fabio Wibmer, Sam Pilgrim, Nino Schurter, and Loïc Bruni are earning big money! While others are working jobs in the winter pay their bills and expenses. We debate whether Strava segment hunting and public heat maps are a blessing for exploration or a curse that ruins local secret trails. Owen The Bike Nerd joins to pitch the brutal Highland Trail 550 as the ultimate off-road endurance test in Europe and we're celebrating a new channel partner in Atlas Ride Co, the company which is all about creating unreal experiences for your MTB holiday.

Welcome back to The Global Mountain Bike Show this week we discuss how Specialized have just announced a price drop of up to 27% on their Levo platform, signaling a massive shift in the e-MTB landscape. We dive into whether this is a direct response to high-tech newcomers like Amflow and if we're entering a new era of "factory-to-consumer" value. Plus, we talk about the wild 32-inch "Mega Mullet" wheel setup to see if bigger really is faster, and discuss the science of getting fit while riding with a motor.
