Take a gander at Gee Atherton's World Championship-winning GT Fury as his mechanic, Pete, walks you through the details. It's been a year of fine-tuning and figuring out which set up works best for Gee and it's safe to say that they had it dialed at World Championships today.

Bike Highlights
- GT Fury DH, equivalent to a size Large, running 27.5-inch wheels and weight about 36lbs.
- FOX RAD suspension
- Shimano Saint drivetrain and brakes. They use a modified XTR 6-speed cassette and single-click Saint shifter for ideal chainline.
- Continental Kaiser tires
- PRO components saddle, bars and stem.

by the way…..the V10 is too short, all the pros are using XL size adding a special headset to enlarge the cockpit even further…. I guess the new V10 2015 will be somewhere in the 123-125 cm range
WB….

TeamROBOT, that is correct: you are perfectly right: all bikes except GTs and some mondrakers are WAY TOO SHORT….. the world is changing and gee atherton is the man who turned the key "ON" about long veichles….

There's nothing normal about a 127cm wheelbase. That's insanely longer than any other production bike on the market. For comparison's sake, the extra large V10 has a 122cm wheelbase.

I am pretty sure this aint fancy numbers: 63HA, 127ish cm WB, nearly +0 BB, and of course single pivot LIINNEEAARR rate suspension frame design with a shock with "small" shaft moving low volume of oils.

It will be very interesting to see precisely what the geometry of this bike is when the Atherton replicas emerge. Top level DH racers will generally want a bike they can win on. On the evidence, the changes GT have made during the season have resulted in a better race bike.

LONGO VEICULOS wins Gee is like Yury Gagarin of bike geometries, thanks him for enlarging last year carbon fury spot on
