Listen to five riders put their bikes through agony in the rocks at the Mont Sainte Anne World Cup DH and see if you can identify them!

How'd you do?

#6 was Aaron Gwin's, so fast and quiet you didn't even hear it.

Brayton's ohlins suspension was a dead giveaway to be honest.

why the hell does Gee's bike sound like a shopping cart?

Yea, Brayton's was also the giveaway.

First one couldn't be Fairclough (brake noise that Saints just can't make), 3rd and 4th were pretty loud (and Gee's sounds like it's coming apart as he rides, and the Gambler is rather loud aswell) and Bruni's pretty silent.

I had no idea the Ohlins sounds so bad !
Got a demo a few weeks ago with the Ohlins and sent it back cos I thought some thing was wrong with it, seems like it's normal for it to sound like shit ?

Agreed, if you have ever watched a Vital Raw with Fairclough in it, this is a piece of cake.

I was at MSA and the only bike I knew was the commencal because it is the quietest bike on the circuit.
