NEW Bikes! Fort William Downhill World Cup 2024

Are skinsuits making a comeback in downhill mountain biking?

Skinsuits were all the rage back in the early days of downhill racing, before falling out of favour, with only fleeting appearances in the mid-2000s before they were banned.

They were back on everyone’s radar at last weekend’s opening round of the 2024 UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Cup in Fort William, Scotland.

Is Fox’s new Speedsuit RS, a clever, body-hugging two-piece outfit designed specifically for downhill racing by circumventing the current rules, a step too far?

We also caught some of the latest tech in the pits and got the lowdown on bikes from Atherton Racing, Intense, Mondraker and the all-new YT Tues piloted by Oisin O'Callaghan.

What do you think of the new Fox Speedsuit? Let us know in the comments!
