- Alright, this is Emil Johansson straight out of Sweden.
He's a 17 year old and this is his pro bike check.
(upbeat, electronic music)
Right, before we kick off this pro bike check,
in the slopes-down industry, when you're riding that
you want to keep that bike super light.
So this bike comes in at 2510.
Which is 11.35 kilos.
I'm gonna start off with the frame,
it's a Trek Ticket S, and they're coming down to this
little rear shock here. It's a Slopestyle bike, and
it's a Monarch RT3 Rockshox, and it's a 100 milli travel.
I'm not too sure pressure wise what he has in there,
but I'm guessing it's super hard.
So I'm going to have to ask him that question.
Alright, moving onto the saddle,
this saddle here is designed specifically
for his legs to slide in here.
So he can hook that saddle and spin those bars.
This is the Chromag Liaison series saddle,
and then underneath this is a Truvia Full Carbon Seatpost
to keep that weight under control and down.
Moving on to the drive train,
I'm going to start off with the pedals.
They're Chromag Contact.
Wide platform pedal for those big feet of his.
Moving on to the cranks. Sram XO. Full Carbon Crank.
He's got 32 sprocket in the front here,
and then moving onto the back, he's got Sram XO Derailleur.
But this is a crazy set-up.
Because it's single speed, but he's using this,
and the reason why is because you don't really need gears
out in the slopes, you only need one gear.
But why he's running this is because there's chain growth.
When that suspension compresses.
You have to allow for that chain to grow.
I'm moving onto the rear wheel build.
I'm going to start off with the brake.
This is an Avid BB7 Road SL.
This calliper is specifically built for road,
but he's using it on his bike.
Moving onto the hub, Industry Nine.
These are special hubs, these have his name on it,
and the rim that's built onto this nice gold hub
is a Industry Nine rim, it's a full endurance rim
but is super strong,
and the rubber that's around it is a Maxxis DTH,
and it's 2.15 with the tyre.
Moving up to the front, on the fork side of things,
it's a Rockshox DJ Pike. It's a 100 milli of travel.
Pressure wise, I'm not too sure,
I'm going to have to ask him that,
but I'm guessing still a little bit harder than normal,
but the special thing about this is he's got his name on it,
and he's running his national flag right there.
Round the wheel build side,
on the front is much like the rears.
It's an Industry Nine wheel build.
It's got his name on that nice gold hub on the front.
Alright, moving up to the cockpit.
I'm going to start of with these grips.
These are the Chromag wax grips.
Super wide on here for those big hands of his.
Then moving on to the bars, these are Fubars.
Running at 735 in length.
and then he's got a 31 reach.
This is a Chromag Ranger v2 stem,
and then underneath the stem you can see,
it looks a bit different.
This is a BMX setup. This is an Odyssey Gyro.
So basically, this helps him
spin those bars continuously.
So he doesn't have any cables to deal with
that are gonna get tangled up when he's throwing those
big tricks.
We've got the big Sweden, Emil.
Emil tell us about your bike.
There are a few things that the crowd would like to know.
I want to know, what's the psi for your rear shock?
- Max psi. 275.
- Max psi. 275, wow.
- With a high tune. It's kind of stiff,
but it works pretty well.
- Have you got any volume spaces in that?
- No.
- Just full thing.
Around the front, psi wise, what do you doing?
You got buns in there?
- Yeah, I got two Tokens. Those two red things.
And then 200 psi.
- Okay, wicked. Another thing, psi in tyres?
Or does it depend on the course?
- Yeah, when I pump it up it's four and a half, always.
- Okay, Very nice.
- It depends on where I'm riding.
Sometimes only four, sometimes five.
- Yeah, yeah.
- If I'm at a brand new park, or big jumps.
- Okay.
Another question, do you ride hard trails much,
or is it mostly just on your slope style bike?
Every day rider.
- I have ridden this bike since January, so.
- Oh wow, okay.
- I haven't even touched the hard trail.
- New to the Trek team, eh?
- Yeah.
- I've seen this here. Look at this. This set-up.
Is this your thing? Is this your doing?
- I had problems on old bikes where the chain
kept popping off. So I've always been scared of it
happening again. Cause you crash really bad.
Every time. So I just keep it in place with two sprockets.
On each side of the sprocket I ride.
- I like that. It's genius. That's a hack for sure.
(laughing)
Any tweaks that you like to have on your bike
that you want to have there?
- Yeah, I like to have my seat a little bit higher
than the average person.
Cause I have long legs and I do a lot of bars.
So I want to be able to grab the seat with my knees.
I know, I have my brake lever like really far down.
People that try my bike don't like it at all.
- Yeah that does look low! I wouldn't
- When I'm riding I'm like
- You're like this, in attack position. Nice.
So with the Gyro are you getting on with this?
Because with a hydraulic brake. It's there and it's not,
with this BMX it's kind of like using mechanical.
- It's mechanical and I can do all the work myself.
I could have like spare cables with me when I'm travelling.
- Yeah.
- So if they would break.
I just pick them up from my backpack and put it on.
- Yeah, you don't have to buy a new brake.
- Yeah.
It is really good to mechanical I think.
- And the frame size. Is this a medium-sized frame?
Or is it large? Small? What size is it?
- It's just a regular sized.
- Regular sized, so medium.
- Maybe kind of small for me, for being that tall, but
it is really good. Spins very fast.
- Thank you so much Emil for showing us your pro bike.
