Video: Rémy Métailler Puts Cube's New DH Rig Through its Paces in Whistler

 You read my thoughts hahahahaha

 Thanks but still a tone of work to do to get this man's skill..

 @remymetailler: Ya that was some official Bubba Scrubba!

 Pearl Jam "Whipping" would work as well! haha

 Thanks man, I appreciate the comment. I tried my best to earn a spot.

 And a USA border agent without his head up his arse as well.

 @remymetailler: Roi de la vidéo!

 Umm, he does. Have you not heard of him?

 Oh bud you are in for a treat when you find his other vids

 Yes please more raw vids, my man was tearing the trails a new one.

 When it's THAT GOOD you only need 2 minutes, or at least that's what my wife says.

 It's probably because they sometimes don't use the live sound captured the day of shooting what they typically do is go back after the edit is done and recreate the sound of all the skittering and bike noise on a dolly track in the studio. They can take a sample of what it sounded like live but often times it can be blown out with wind or other noises. This one sounded like they did it in post. Sometimes you know they reuse the same sounds over and it gets repetitive or not quite accurate. Overall I liked the effect they created making it more intimate with the rider and his bike and no music track. Music tracks usually cover up all the shitty sounds you typically want to hide if you were using the live sound recorded from camera or sound guy that day.

 @CraineBrain: I feel like this one was more obviously done in post production (it'll probably turn out that it wasn't now I've said that) compared to some of the others. I can't really put my finger on it but something just doesn't sound quite right in this one.

 Really? I rewatched it--if they dubbed the sound, they did a fantastically realistic job. All of the speeds and motions are matched perfectly.

 @phile99: Thanks. Yes a sound designer made the sound using the sound we captured while filming and edited it. Any movie does that, Redbull used that for any of their video. Sound is very important. It's obviously a bit "fake" but that helps the result.

 @remymetailler: yea I liked the sound and how it made it more intimate with the bike and you, but I know sound since I am a sound guy and have produced my own soundtracks and folly for short films so I know how it goes. Good job altogether, the riding really shines through, and you kill it and I love your lines.

 Doesn't seem to be holding Remy back does it?

 Commencal he had Bos and then Fox tuned by Vorsprung I thought

 @feazel: Nope, but he's such a pro, that doesn't really mean much. A- he can ride the shit out of pretty much anything. B- his whole bike is custom tuned which can easily make up for issues in a normal production model. C- not holding him specifically back, but how many prominent racers have you seen on this bike in the WC circuit? D - as i said, i think they made some improvements to the geometry and suspension on this year's model.
The original model was very poorly designed in my opinion.

 @gramboh: production models- yeah. But Remy has been associated with DVO for a while too. check this out:

 @foxinsocks: I have been with DVO and Cube since 2017. I find the bike pretty rigid. You don't want to rigid otherwise that does not grip too well and does not forgive enough. The 2019 is more progressive than the old ones. That being said on the old one I used all the travel but it never felt like harsh bottom out. The noise of the seat rubbing the tires happens on most bike unless you can ride your seat high enough. Make sure to set up your seat without spring or air (so you can bottom out the bike and make sure it does not touches). Worst case scenario you can loose a bit of travel by using a travel spacer (3 to 4 mm).

 @remymetailler: First, i got a reply from Remy. Stoked. Can shut down my computer for the day

You're right, it does happen in most bikes if saddle setup is incorrect. but i had this noise happen to me on this bike much more than any other model i rode in recent years, with a pretty high saddle and even when going into berms and such. It was a rental bike for a couple of days, so i admit setup wasn't top notch, but pretty well maintained. It's not only my opinion, other reviews had the same feeling - too linear of a suspension, with geometry numbers that dont belong on a DH bike (heck, i'm 1.81cm and HAD to ride an XL size. The reach was tiny). It was very good in twisty tight part, i'll admit that. I'm sure cube addressed some of these issues with latest models, as they have with their outdated Stereo which had similar problems. Also, since you ride dvo, and not the stock shocks, you have the privilege of setting up suspension vastly different to production models.

 @foxinsocks: I agree with you on some point, but suspension set up is key. I have no complain myself on the suspension curve. I buzz the seat only on ver heavy landing and my seat is quiet low. If you buzzed the seat on the corners your set up was way off.. Santa, Devinci, Spe have the same things. It's not just Cube. The way to avoid that is too use long chantey and chance the suspension cinematic..

 ya' mean Steeeeeezus?!!!!!

 Actually 23 and 25psi. I run no flat tire defender or chuck norris, and I run carbon rims. 0 broken or cracked rim this year. The Racing lab tires are amazing. Casing is absolutely incredible.

 Trying to keep it smooth. Hard with so many huck to flats..

 Actually the bike tracks pretty well under breaking. The rear tire being locked and the grounds so loose and bumpy I can see how you have that interpretation, but the traction on the brakes is there.

 thats like.. not even a very bumpy section. It looks like it's working just fine for what we can see on the ground there

 @anchoricex: high speed shale run-out on Original Sin by the tree fort, it's full of brake bump holes.
