He is currently a member of the team Specialized Gravity.
#LOIC BRUNI BIKE CHECK PRO#
Pro downhill mountain biker who won the 20 UCI World Championships. Katy is running Bontrager SE5 Team Issue tyres front (22psi) and rear (24psi), tubeless, naturally, on Bontrager Line Elite 30 wheels. Loic Bruni, best known for being a Mountain Biker, was born in Nice, France on Friday, May 13, 1994. It’s currently the driest its been for a long old while here in Scotland and the Tweed Valley has not escaped the sun’s attention either. No fancy gold cassettes for the flying Scot. The custom paint job is immaculate and the bike features prototype Formula disc brake calipers with Cura levers and a prototype Ohlins DH fork rumored to have 215mm of. He came up with the concept during his internship at Specialized this past winter and it was finally made a reality. No surprise to see the 50t XO1 Eagle cassette out the back. Loic Bruni has another newly painted bike and this time its the 'Lava Bike' for the Val di Sole World Cup. That said, note Katy runs Shimano XT SPDs.
#LOIC BRUNI BIKE CHECK FULL#
Trek Factory Racing’s enduro wing are supported by SRAM, hence the Rockshox dampers, and full Eagle drivetrain, an XX1 chainset with a Quarq power meter seen and a 34t chain ring here. It might only be cosmetic, but a happy rider is a fast rider and Katy is definitely happy with her Slash 29.
#LOIC BRUNI BIKE CHECK CODE#
With the Trek boys in town to help Katy and Ruaridh get the most from their bikes, gradual changes were made to the new RockShox dampers, like the new Lyrik RC2 here, to tune more speed and control from the bike.Ĭustom stickers and custom SRAM Code brake levers. Bontrager grips with no outer collar sit on Bonty 750mm carbon bars, telling a 50mm stem where to send the front wheel. The Knock Block stops this becoming a reality but limiting the steering.
Straight Shot downtubes mean big forks catch the frame. No pressure then… Katy has long been a favourite for the win in the Borders, but expect her to be pushed hard by Bex Baraona all weekend. Recent testing sees Katy on a Trek-developed Rockshox air shock with a single token but with the recently-released RockShox Lyrik RC2 out front rocking a pair of (s)tokens.
Katy seems very happy indeed that they made the Slash 15.5″ frame a production model. Trek, incidentally, didn’t have a 15.5″ frame in their line-up prior to signing Katy and fellow pinner Casey Brown, both of whom are small in stature. If her and her bike weren’t pals, and a third overall in the EWS is the result, expect big things now that the friendship has been rekindled. It couldnt be any more and hotter Even if the bike bears his signature, there is still room for improvement, because a lot of electronics on the bike can also have its downsides. Keep an eye out Miss Winton this weekend. I also think the look of the brake master of the MT5 is absolutely martial and with the Loic Bruni / HC-W levers top in modulation. Katy has been racing the Slash ever since she joined the Trek Factory Racing setup, and after a week of testing at home in the Tweed Valley, Katy and the bike “are pals again”. Loic's skills are what get him to the top of the box, but it's a highly technical team effort with his mechanic Jack, and their data acquisition information used during practice that give the friendly Frenchman's bike a perfect set up for race day.Pete caught up with Trek Factory Racing’s Katy Winton at the 2018 Whyte British Enduro Champs to take a closer look at her Slash 29. What looks like a Minion DHF up front (29") and a Minion DHR II (27.5") out back. We can see in the photos that he's running blacked out Maxxis tires. Loic's prototype features Ohlins suspension front and rear, Magura MT7 brakes, DT Swiss wheels, Joystick cockpit, SRAM X01 DH 7-speed drivetrain (blacked out) with e*thirteen chainguide. The weather held for race day, track conditions were perfect and all it took was Super Bruni being faster by just. Loic Bruni, the current downhill World Champion took his prototype Specialized Demo with the mixed wheel sizes to the top of the podium in a hotly contested race on a blisteringly fast track. The first Elite Men's World Cup Downhill race of 2019 was won on a bike with a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel today in Maribor, Slovenia.
