Drop bars are usually only seen in the Road/Cyclocross/Gravel world, but recently Keegan Swenson changed that by winning the Leadville 100 on an MTB with drop bars. Because of this, Neil wanted to text if drop bars could be used on his Orbea Oiz and see if it made any improvement to his riding. Neil has planned a short XC loop in the Forest of Dean to compare times and speeds to see if there are any significant improvements. ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - Welcome! 00:50 - Drop Bars on Mountain Bikes 02:32 - Why don’t we see more Drop Bars in XC? 03:40 - The bikes Neil will be riding 05:41 - Baseline run 06:50 - Drop Bar run 10:59 - The results 12:44 - Should we see more Drop Bar MTBs?
