Old school tech lines with new school riders - The benefits of MTB innovations [RNL S1, Ep10]

From unreliable and uncomfortable to the amazing trail shredding machines we now enjoy, the evolution of the mountain bike has been amazing! New riders learning to mountain bike tech, slabs, jumps and more, on modern trail bikes have a very different experience on the trail and that's a good thing! The future of mountain biking is bright! Dan & Sage rode some gnarly tech with two young rippers and were thoroughly impressed!  These kids loved riding, learning, and enjoying trails outside. Not what you hear about in the news! The guys discuss their ride with Hunter and Sawyer, and reflect on how far mountain bikes have come.  Today's mountain bikes with dropper posts, modern geometry, 1x drivetrains and much more vs bikes from 20 years ago… what a huge difference! MTB Gratitude of the Week: Dan: The mountain bike industry has come so far. Modern bikes are capable, reliable and so much fun.  Thank you! Sage: Dropper Posts!  Game changing technology which makes bikes so much more capable and fun. And modern droppers are so reliable.  Thank you!
