I'm less concerned about his clothing than his body positioning on that bike... stretched arms usually mean a size too large, saddle too far back, and imminent shoulder and lower back issues.
COVID mate. Even the wealthy have to settle for whats in stock.
Despite crazy delays and non-availability affecting our orders for customers and the rental fleet my Gambler Tuned just arrived! Sure, I ordered it in September 2019 but the fact that it even exists seems like a miracle. I pronounce 2021 "The Summer of DH"!
2020 called and wants your 180mm 29" singlecrown back because pedaling uphill on a fork that tall only made sense when all the lifts were closed.

agreed. but is it vapourware? can they get them to customers in 2021?
They can, at least one or two to their nice buddies.
Given that it's March, the frame design is 4 years old, and those are 2021 components on there with 2022 releases just around the corner, I'd hope YT can deliver!
PS my aluminum Large Capra 27 frame is for sale.

We can argue if this is Right or Wrong for the Industry...but I have been looking for something to defend against giant kitties on rides. After a jogger almost died, but lived by beating it off with a rock...I'm thinking something like this would be useful. (Yes, I know I don't need a bike brand on it, but I like to support the local boys if I can. And here, I'd be supporting two of them)

My biggest beef with my Spydero Native (similar design), and the ultimate reason I sold it, was because it lacked a deep carry clip. If the intent is kitty defense primarily, I can see a non-deep carry being a plus, but if you'll be carrying it every day, I personally don't like advertising it. Also, unless you have small and nimble hands, one handed opening with gloves on will be tough. With gloves, I much prefer an assisted knife (where legal) for ease and speed of deployment.

Bear spray. Plus, if you find a kitty having their way with a hiker or rider, you can spray em both without having to get that close.

Course I’ve nuked myself. But it’s a hell of a lot better than a bullet. I’ve never seen someone detonate the can in a crash, there are water bottle holders for them and other stuff that should minimize of not eliminate that risk.
Animals like that rely heavily on their senses. Bear spray will take them out. Had to use it on a moose once.
Great knife but I agree the price is way to high for that blade steel. Better off buying from Blade HQ or the like.$225 and you only get S30V.
I love my Para 3 but not at $225 for S30
What the heck would you let grizzlies in your car?
I am with @Adventurous - if you think a knife can help you defend yourself, you need something that's easy to open with one hand. For me, that knife is my SOG Vulcan. Not that I want to use it for self defense, ever.
this is what's right with the knife industry...
In your prison wallet?
Looks like we need a knife thread now.
Pants prevent the quick access required during a wildlife emergency. Enduro strapped to the frame.

@Salami you'll get your shit jacked by a methhead faster than you can say "dixie will rise again" at ol' poston. you won't even have time to pull your $30 blade, son. you'll prolly be tending to your overheating buddy on an ebike anyway...
