They have ditched the ohlins rfx forks for the coated zoke 48s, must be getting what they're after now they've gone to hrg for suspension setups, stranger still hrg are the Spanish ohlins importer.

In the photos from vindicator that's a metzeler 6days extreme hard. 90/90 21.

I use them, they work almost as good as the 6 days extreme soft ( which is very like a pirrellii xcms ) but don't chunk side knobs and last forever, they have a firmer sidewall that gives a nice ride at pace over rocks. They are not that good in loam or grass track as they pop out of ruts a bit due to the less pronounced side knobs.

Maybe it's time to start a new thread without Cervantes' name. That's old news.

That is good idea, maybe if the kind Admin would like to move some of the posts to a new thread like "WEC 2013" ?

From all the pics I have seen lately, pretty much all the teams that use Metzelers have switched to the Extreme Hard tire.

I loved riding on the 6 days tires that came stock on the 12'. They hooked up great but wore quickly. I rode the front til there was literally no knobs left on the side.

48" Zokes on the outside, we don't know what's inside

Notice MaCCanney is testing the "2014" swingarm/Linkage. Hard to notice

Good eye Scotty. I went back to as many photos as I could and saw the swingarm but couldn't spot the new linkage.

Default speaking of Thain

Here is a cool video from Knighter's helmet cam. At the start you can see Rodrig Thain (#4 on the Gasser) snap ahead of everyone. David can't quite pass Rodrig until Rodrig bobbles in the rocks. Nice to see gassers ripping it in the "european endurocross". Go Rodrig!!!
