Imboni yamabhayisikili ihlale ithuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obusha bamabhayisikili kanye nezinto ezintsha.Okuningi kwale nqubekelaphambili kuhle futhi ekugcineni kwenza amabhayisikili ethu asebenze kakhudlwana futhi kujabulise ukuwagibela, kodwa akunjalo ngaso sonke isikhathi.Umbono wethu wakamuva wobuchwepheshe obungasoze waphela uwubufakazi.
Kodwa-ke, izinhlobo zamabhayisikili zivame ukuwenza ngendlela efanele, mhlawumbe kakhulu kunamabhayisikili angekho emgwaqeni, manje angasafani nalawa esasiwagibele eminyakeni eyishumi edlule.
Kulokho okungenzeka kube umjaho wenkukhu noma weqanda, umjaho wamabhayisikili wezintaba usuphenduke waba ngobuchwepheshe futhi washesha kakhulu - njengoba umjikelezo wokuhlola we-Izu kuma-Olympics e-Tokyo ka-2020 ufakazela - futhi amabhayisikili abe maningi Ikhono, kahle, umbono omuhle kakhulu. ngokushesha futhi.
Cishe zonke izici ze-MTB engekho emgwaqeni zishintshile kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kusukela esikhathini eside, ijiyomethri ye-MTB exegayo engakwazi ukuyinquma ekwehleni kwezobuchwepheshe nasezindaweni ezinamatshe kuyilapho ikhuphuka ngokushesha njengombani) iye kusibambo esibanzi njengalena evuliwe. ezinye izimoto.Ibhayisikili elihle kakhulu lezintaba ze-enduro.
Ngeke sithi siphoxekile.Lezi zinguquko zenza ukugibela ngaphandle komgwaqo nokubuka kujabulise kakhudlwana futhi, ngokwezinga elithile, kuvula indlela yamabhayisikili angekho emgwaqeni ahlanganisa izingxenye ezihamba phambili ze-XC namabhayisikili angekho emgwaqeni.
Ngakho-ke, sinakho konke lokho engqondweni, nazi izindlela eziyisithupha amabhayisikili angekho emgwaqeni ashintsha ngazo, nokuthi kungani kuyinto enhle kuwo wonke umgibeli wamabhayisikili.Uma ufuna ukufunda okwengeziwe ngamabhayisikili e-XC, qiniseka ukuthi uhlola umhlahlandlela wethu womthengi the best off-road amabhayisikili.
Mhlawumbe uguquko oluphawuleka kakhulu emabhayisikili e-XC ubukhulu bamasondo, namabhayisikili asezintabeni angaphezulu komgwaqo wonke asebenzisa amasondo angu-29 inch.
Uma ubheka emuva eminyakeni eyi-10, kuyilapho abagibeli abaningi beqala ukubona izinzuzo zama-intshi angu-29, abaningi basabambelele ngenkani kokuncane, futhi kuze kube yileso sikhathi, usayizi ojwayelekile wamayintshi angu-26.
Manje, lokho kuzoncika nasezimfuneko zoxhaso.Uma umxhasi wakho engenzi 29er, ngeke ukwazi ukuyigibela ngisho noma ubufuna. Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kwenzekani, abashayeli abaningi bayakujabulela ukunamathela kulokho abakwaziyo.
Futhi, banesizathu esihle.Kuthathe imboni yebhayisikili isikhashana ukuthola i-geometry engu-29ers kanye nezingxenye ezifanele.Amasondo angabonakala alula, futhi ukuphatha kungashiya kancane, ngakho-ke akumangalisi ukuthi abanye abagibeli bayangabaza.
Nokho, ngo-2011, waba umgibeli wokuqala ukuwina i-Cross Country World Cup ngebhayisikili elingama-intshi angu-29. Wabe esewina indondo yegolide yama-Olympics e-London 2012 enqamula izwe emjahweni ongu-29er (Specialized S-Works Epic).Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, engu-29 -inch amasondo kancane kancane abe yinjwayelo emjahweni we-XC.
Ngokushesha phambili kuze kube manje, futhi abagibeli abaningi bangavumelana ngezinzuzo zamasondo angu-29-intshi omjaho we-XC.Aginqika ngokushesha, anikeze ukudonsa okwengeziwe futhi andise ukunethezeka.
Olunye ushintsho olukhulu lwamabhayisikili angcolile (kanye namabhayisikili asezintabeni ngokujwayelekile) kwaba ukufika kwamakhithi amabhayisikili asezintabeni anegiya, i-chainring ngaphambili kanye nekhasethi elibanzi ngemuva, ngokuvamile i-10 encane ekupheleni kwe-Tooth sprocket ene-sprocket enkulu. I-sprocket enamazinyo angu-50 ngakolunye uhlangothi.
Akumele uye kude kakhulu ukuze ubone ibhayisikili elinomzila one-crankset kathathu ngaphambili.Ilungu leqembu le-BikeRadar likhumbula ibhayisikili labo lokuqala elingekho emgwaqeni, elaphuma ngo-2012, line-crankset kathathu.
Amaketanga amathathu nakabili angase anikeze umgibeli uhla oluhle lwamagiya kanye nesikhala esihlanzekile se-cadence ekahle, kodwa futhi anzima kakhulu ukuwagcina nokuyigcina isesimweni esihle sokusebenza.
Njenganoma iyiphi into emisha, lapho ikhishwa igiya layo elilodwa ngo-2012, abagibeli abaningi babengenaso isiqiniseko ngoba ubuhlakani obujwayelekile bekungukuthi amagiya ayi-11 ngeke asebenze emzileni ongekho emgwaqeni.
Kodwa kancane kancane, ochwepheshe kanye nabathandi bezinto zokuzilibazisa baqala ukubona izinzuzo zendlela eyodwa.Ama-Drivetrain kulula ukuwafaka, kulula ukuwagcina nokunciphisa isisindo ngenkathi ugcina ibhayisikili lakho libukeka lihlanzekile.Kuvumela futhi abenzi bamabhayisikili ukuthi bakhe amabhayisikili amiswe ngokugcwele ngoba kukhona ayikho i-derailleur yangaphambili yokwenza indawo yokushaqeka kwangemuva.
Ukweqa phakathi kwezilinganiso zamagiya kungase kube kukhudlwana, kodwa kuvele ukuthi akekho onendaba noma empeleni odinga isikhala esiqinile esihlinzekwa ngamaketanga akabili noma amathathu.
Ukuya kunoma yimuphi umjaho ongekho emgwaqeni namuhla, sisola ukuthi wonke amabhayisikili azoba yi-cog, okuyinto nje into enhle ngokubona kwethu.
Ijiyomethri iyisibonelo esihle sokuthi ubuchwepheshe bokuhamba ngebhayisikili bungahambisana kanjani nezidingo zesiyalo futhi buqhubeke buthuthuka.Njengoba imijaho yangaphandle komgwaqo isiba nzima futhi iba ngobuchwepheshe kakhulu, amabhrendi athuthukile ngokwenza amabhayisikili awo afaneleke kakhulu ukwehla ngenkathi egcina ukusebenza kokugibela. .
Isibonelo esiyinhloko sejiyomethri yebhayisikili engekho emgwaqeni yesimanje i-Specialized Epic yakamuva, echaza ukuthi mangakanani amagiya avela emgwaqeni.
I-Epic ilungele izidingo zejubane eliphezulu nezobuchwepheshe zesimanjemanje esingekho emgwaqeni. Ine-engeli yekhanda exegayo engu-67.5-degree, kanye no-470mm ovulekile kanye ne-engeli yesihlalo engu-75.5-degree.Zonke izinto ezinhle. lapho uhamba futhi wehla ngokushesha.
I-Epic yango-2012 ibukeka ingokwesikhathi uma iqhathaniswa nenguqulo yesimanje.I-engeli yeshubhu yekhanda engu-70.5-degree yenza ibhayisikili libe libukhali ngokushintshana, kodwa futhi lilenza lingazithembi ekwehleni.
Ukufinyelela kufushane futhi ngo-438mm, futhi i-engeli yesihlalo ixega kancane ngo-74 degrees. I-engeli exegayo yesihlalo ingenza kube nzima ngawe ukuthi uthole indawo ephumelelayo yokunyathela kubakaki abaphansi.
Ngokunjalo, elisha elinye ibhayisikili le-XC elijimethri lishintshile.I-engeli yeshubhu yekhanda ihamba kancane ngo-1.5 degrees kunemodeli yangaphambili, kuyilapho i-engeli yesihlalo iyidigri elingu-1.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi sidweba imigqa ewugqinsi lapha.Ngaphezu kwezibalo zejiyomethri esizibala lapha, kunezinye izibalo eziningi nezici ezithinta indlela ibhayisikili elingekho emgwaqeni elibamba ngayo, kodwa akunakuphikwa ukuthi i-XC geometry yesimanje avele ukuze enze lawa mabhayisikili angabi namahloni uma egibela wehla umqansi .
Sisola ukuthi uma utshele noma yimuphi umgibeli wama-Olympic ka-2021 ukuthi kuzomele agijime kunjoloba enyinyekile, angaphatheka kabi kakhulu. Kodwa ukuhlehlisa iminyaka engu-9 namathayi amancane kuyinto evamile, futhi owinile wango-2012 uza namasondo angu-2 intshi.
Kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kube nokuthambekela okubanzi kwamasondo endaweni yonke yamabhayisikili, kusukela ekugibeleni umgwaqo ukuya ku-XC, futhi amathayi ebhayisikili lezintaba angcono kakhulu namuhla aqine kakhulu.
Ukuhlakanipha okuvamile kwakuvame ukuthi amathayi amancane aginqike ngokushesha futhi akugcinele isisindo esincane.Zombili zibalulekile emijahweni engaphandle komgwaqo, kodwa nakuba amathayi amancane angakongela isisindo, amathayi abanzi angcono cishe ngazo zonke ezinye izindlela.
Ziginqika ngokushesha, zikwazi ukubamba kakhudlwana, zinikeze ukunethezeka okwengeziwe, futhi zinganciphisa ithuba lokubhoboza okungazelelwe.Konke kuhle kumjahweni osafufusa ongekho emgwaqeni.
Kusenenkulumompikiswano ngokuthi yiliphi isondo elishesha kakhulu, futhi kungase kungabi khona impendulo ecacile kulowo mbuzo.Kodwa okwamanje, abagibeli abaningi babonakala bekhetha amathayi angu-2.3-intshi noma angu-2.4-intshi emjahweni we-XC.
Saze saqhuba nokuhlola kwethu ngobubanzi bamathayi, sahlola osayizi bamathayi ashesha kakhulu amabhayisikili asezintabeni kanye namavolumu amasondo ashesha kakhulu uma ungekho emgwaqweni.
Njengoba othile asho ku-movie mayelana nezicabucabu, "ngamandla amakhulu kuza umthwalo omkhulu" futhi okufanayo kuya kumabhayisikili esimanje angekho emgwaqeni.
Amathayi akho athuthukisiwe, i-geometry nosayizi wamasondo kukunikeza ithuba lokuhamba ngokushesha kunangaphambili. Kodwa udinga ukwazi ukulawula lawo mandla - futhi ngalokho, uzodinga izibambo ezibanzi.
Futhi, akumele uye kude kakhulu ukuze ubone ibhayisikili elinesibambo esincane kuno-700mm. Uma sibheka emuva, ziqala ngisho ukucwilisa ngaphansi kuka-600mm.
Kulesi sikhathi semigoqo ebanzi, ungase uzibuze ukuthi kungani umuntu engagibela ububanzi obuncane kangaka? Nokho, isivinini ngokuvamile sasihamba kancane emuva ngaleso sikhathi, futhi ukwehla kwezintaba kwakunobuchwepheshe obuncane.Futhi, into nje abantu abayisebenzisa ngaso sonke isikhathi, kungani uyishintsha?
Ngenhlanhla yethu sonke, njengoba isivinini sikhuphuka, kanjalo nobubanzi bezibambo zethu buyakhuphuka, futhi amabhayisikili amaningi e-XC agcwele izibambo ezingu-740mm noma 760mm ebezingacatshangwa eminyakeni eyishumi edlule.
Uhlobo olufana namathayi abanzi, izibambo ezibanzi seziphenduke inkambiso kuyo yonke indawo yebhayisikili yasezintabeni. Zikunikeza ukulawula okwengeziwe ezingxenyeni zobuchwepheshe futhi zingathuthukisa ukulingana kwebhayisikili, futhi abanye abagibeli banomuzwa wokuthi ububanzi obengeziwe busiza ukuvula isifuba ukuze uphefumule. .
Ukumiswa kufike ngokugxuma kanye nemingcele phakathi neminyaka eyishumi edlule noma kunjalo.Kusukela ekuvaleni kukagesi kaFox kuya ekushaqekeni okulula, okunethezekile, akungabazeki ukuthi amabhayisikili anamuhla anethezeke kakhulu endaweni eyimiqansa noma yobuchwepheshe.
Lokhu kuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bokumiswa, kanye neqiniso lokuthi ithrekhi inobuchwepheshe kakhulu kunangaphambili, kusho ukuthi maningi amathuba okuba ubone ibhayisikili elimiswe ngokugcwele kunomsila oqinile emjahweni we-XC ophezulu.
I-Hardtail ifaneleka kakhulu ezifundweni esizibone ku-off-road eminyakeni eyishumi noma ngaphezulu edlule.Manje yonke into isishintshile.Yize lesi singesinye sezifundo ezincane zobuchwepheshe kusekethe yamanje yeNdebe Yomhlaba, futhi iphakamisa umbuzo wokuthi kufanele yini ukhethe i-hardtail noma ibhayisikili elimisiwe eligcwele (u-Victor uwine i-Men's Classic yango-2021 enomsila oqinile, wawina ukumiswa okugcwele komjaho Wabesifazane), abagibeli abaningi manje sebekhethe ukuthola iziphetho zombili emijahweni eminingi.
Ungasilahli, kusekhona ama-hardtails ashesha umbani ku-XC—i-BMC eyethulwe ngonyaka odlule iwubufakazi bokuthi i-hardtails eqhubekayo—kodwa amabhayisikili amiswe ngokugcwele manje abusa kakhulu.
Ukuhamba nakho kuya ngokuya kuqhubeka kakhulu.Thatha i-Scott Spark RC entsha – ibhayisikili ozikhethela lona .Lino-120mm wohambo lwangaphambili nangemuva, kanti sesikujwayele kakhulu ukubona u-100mm.
Yiziphi ezinye intuthuko esizibonile kubuchwepheshe bokumiswa?Thatha i-Specialized's Brain Suspension enelungelo lobunikazi, isibonelo.Umklamo usebenza kusetshenziswa ivalve ye-inertia, ekukhiyela yona ngokuzenzakalelayo ukumiswa endaweni eyisicaba.Shaya iqhubu bese ivalvu ivule ngokushesha ukumiswa futhi. Empeleni, umqondo omuhle, kodwa empeleni, ukuphindaphinda kwasekuqaleni kunikeze ubuchopho abalandeli bomhlaba.
Isikhalazo esikhulu kwaba ukushaya okukhulu noma ukushaya umgibeli akuzwayo lapho ivalvu ivuleka futhi.Awukwazi futhi ukulungisa ukuzwela kobuchopho bakho empukaneni, okungekuhle uma ugibele endaweni ehlukile.
Kodwa-ke, njengazo zonke izinto ezikulolu hlu, i-Specialized iye yathuthukisa ubuchopho kancane kancane phakathi neminyaka.Manje ingashintshwa ngokuhamba kwendiza, futhi umsindo we-percussive, ngenkathi usekhona, uthambile kakhulu kunezizukulwane ezedlule.
Ekugcineni, ukuvela kokushaqeka kuyisibonelo esihle sokuthi amabhayisikili e-XC anamuhla aklanyelwe kanjani ukuthi akwazi ukusebenza futhi enze izinto ezihlukahlukene kunangaphambili.
useneminyaka engaphezu kweshumi eqhudelana emicimbini eyahlukene, okuhlanganisa ukunqamula izwe, i-marathon kanye nokuqwala izintaba, futhi manje ujabulela ukuphila okungenamsoco, ukuma ezindaweni zokudlela nokuphuza ubhiya ngemva kokuhamba ngebhayisikili. Nakuba umndeni omncane usho ukuthi unenkululeko encane isikhathi, usajabulela ukukhuphuka nokuhlupheka ekugibeleni.Njengomsekeli oqinile wokuhamba ngebhayisikili ezintabeni eziqinile emgwaqeni, ungase futhi uthole ukugibela othandekayo wakhe njengoba ilanga lishona.
Ngokufaka imininingwane yakho, uyavumelana neMigomo Nemibandela ye-BikeRadar kanye Nenqubomgomo Yemfihlo.Ungazikhipha ohlwini noma nini.
