Loic Bruni spotted for the second time aboard a Specialized Prototype DH Bike with an all-new construction that incorporates 3D printed lugs
Last weekend’s Fort William Round of the British National Downhill Series was a star-studded affair; Greg Minnaar, Matt Walker, Laurie Greenland, Camille Balanche, Loris Vergier, Amaury Pierron, Nina Hoffmann, and your current reigning World Champion himself, Loic Bruni, were all looking to get their eye in on the track that will host the 2023 World Championships this coming August. For the second time this year, the latter was seen aboard a Specialized Prototype DH Bike.
. It’s not often we get to see the full picture with any of Bruni’s bikes; they are usually covered around key areas of the suspension. Alas, last weekend was no different.Realistically, there isn’t a heap we can glean from the few photos we managed to snap of Loic’s bike as he crossed the line into the finish arena. However, it is immediately clear that this bikes represents a grand departure from the current Demo DH Bike that was underneath Loic’s team mate, Jordan Williams.
While the braced seat stay appears to be made of carbon, the machining on the drive side chainstay would suggest that this piece, as well as the top link, are both made of aluminum. But, given that the chainstay is very tall as it terminates near the BB, it is not unreasonable to suggest that multiple frame members could be connected to it. That’s where our speculation comes to an end; the multi-panel stealth cover shields the shock from view, and thus we can’t see how exactly it is being driven by the linkage.
