Sam Hill is back. He took the victory at the 2014 Mont Sainte Anne World Cup downhill aboard this Nukeproof Pulse 27.5. No fancy carbon, no gimmicks; just a well-built aluminum bike with dialed geometry, proven suspension and the holiest of holy...flat pedals. Well done, Sam! If we wanted anyone to obliterate our Power Rankings call of 6th place, it was you, hands down.
