Steil, schnell, „loamy“, wurzelig, purer Flow, Trail-Ende – und dann hat man noch zwei Drittel an Trails vor sich. Von SRAM kommt ein Vorgeschmack auf das wohl härteste EWS-Rennen der Saison rund um Whistler.
“Heavy Flow” is your best friend’s secret line. A hip jump within the first few seconds sets the tone for the trail to come. Steep loamy corners, multiple line options and lots of natural jumps have you off the brakes and enjoying gravity. Make sure you save your energy, though — the first half of “Tunnel Vision” features sustained sprints on slightly uphill and downhill fire roads. Just as you run out of gas, you’ll get into the last section through open forest at a grade just steep enough to be able to coast, but you won’t be coasting…
