Remember those crazy old clips? John Tomac bombing downhill on a hardtail with drop bars? It was absolute mayhem, the Wild West of mountain biking! But that clunky chaos couldn’t last. Something had to change to bring us the precision we see in modern racing. Owen Coutts and legendary downhill journalist Steve Jones dive deep into the indestructible, permanent mark left by Shimano XTR. We’re talking about the gear that helped turn a rebel sport into the high-performance machine it is today. We sit down with pioneers such as Gary Fisher and Scot Nicol, legends like Steve Peat and Leigh Donovan, and present-day racers like Puck Pieterse and Alan Hatherly to hear first-hand about this story of innovation.
