Hey guys it's me Fabio
as you can see
I'm finally making a bike check of my Fabiolous Escape 2 bike
My collarbone is getting better after almost 6 weeks
I can finally ride again and it should not take too long to be 100% fit again
A lot of you guys asked me for a bike check of my downhill bike
which I was riding in my newest video
today I'll talk a little bit about the details of the bike
and I'll give you an overview of the bike
I'd say let's start
Ok frame
It's a Specialized S-Works Demo frame
in the size L and with a custom paintjop
in a very flashy orange
with very little details and shiny flakes
which looks pretty nobel
and with the camouflage green
I personally really like the combination of these two colours
and it looked pretty cool on snow as well
pretty stoked on how it turned out
and the feedback of guys was pretty awesome too
I'd say let's move on
Rims
these are the Roval  Traverse rims
the brand of Specialized
carbon rims
also Roval hubs
really really solid
It's actually the same wheelset which I was riding in Fabiolous Escape for the whole time
Never had any problems
so they are definitely very strong
and they are super light as well which is sick
the whole bike in general is super light
I think around 15kg
Never had such a light bike
but yeah
next are tires
Continental Baron tires in 27,5"
A lot of you guys asked me if I was riding spikes or not
I didn't use Spike tires in all of the clips
always with the standard Continental Baron tires
which was very solid
the reason is because it was a little bit too dangerous for me to do all these stunts with spikes
really have to say that the performance of these tires on snow was very solid and sufficient
I was actually suprised
I was riding a tire pressure of around 2.8-2.9 bar
really high pressure
usually i ride about 2-2.2 bar
Exactly...then
what's next?
suspension
In the front we've got a Fox Facotry 40 fork
with kashima coating
I don't need to say that much
Everyone knows that it's a sick fork
The setting is really stiff
Especially in Fabiolous Escape 2 because i did a lot of flips
and because i needed a lot of feedback from my bike
and that's why i ride it stiff
just to get an instant feedback of the bike
and the suspension didn't have to compensate many bumps
in the back
we've got the Fox DHX2 shock
with a spring
it's a 550 spirng
the setting is also very stiff
fast rebound and just in general very stiff and hard
in the front as well as in the back
really stiff so that I can do flips
that I can do double flips
and that you just get a good feedback from the bike
exactly
then...
What's next
Cranks are the Sram X0
i think these carbon cranks are known for beeing really good
never had any problems with them
so very very solid cranks
on the cranks I'm riding flat pedals from Crankbrothers
the Crankbrothers Stamp in Large
I put the screws further out to get even more grip
even on snow and in icy conditions it was a dream to stand on these pedals
then... gearshift
it's the 7 speed X0 gearshift from Sram
don't have to say much about it
really awesome and it does what a gearshift is supposed to do
alright
then...
what else do we have
Brakes of course
who stops you? of course your brakes
which was really important while filming the video
I'm riding the Magura MT7 raceline brakes
I'm riding the HC3 leaver which I really like as you can adjust it as you want to have it
and it's a 1 finger leaver as well which I really like
brake discs have a diameter of 203mm
these are the Magura Storm HC discs
very solid, didn't bend one
everything was fine
the brakes are definitely just amazing
the seat is also from Specialized
it's the Specialized Phenom seat
you probably think that it's really low for a downhill bike
I put it down for the video because I did a lot of flips where I had to make me small
also i had to be very agile on the bike
that's why the seat is pretty low on this bike
this is the riginal setting of Fabiolous Escape 2
Handlebar
I'm riding the Renthal Fatbar carbon handlebar
which makes the bike again a little bit lighter and it's very robust
Stem is also from renthal
and yeah what else
Grips are from Specialized
and I think that's pretty much it
i can't find anything else
but if you want to know something which I didn't mention just let me know in the comments
However
That's it from the bike check
i hope you like the bike as much as I do
I think it's a really awesome machine
and I'm really looking forward to ride the first downhill tracks with it
I'll get another downhill bike which will be my racing machine
I can then make a bike check about that as well
but that's it from my Fabiolous Escape 2 machine
Hope you liked it as much as I did
amazing bike
I couldn't ask for more
Thanks for watching
until next time
Ciao
