Bernard Kerr will pilot an Prototype Pivot DH Bike at Lenzerheide for the opening round of the 2023 UCI MTB DH World Cup
Possibly the most fabulous bike we’ve seen at the Lenzerheide pits this week is that piloted by Bernard Kerr. Pivot Factory Racing is developing a new Phoenix Downhill Bike using a lugged carbon frame design to aid in rapid prototyping.
Moving on to arguably more important aspects… Bernard’s ride sees an all-new Dave Weagle linkage design that leaves the twin-link configuration found on the production Phoenix well behind. From what we can see, two links connect the chainstay to the front triangle in a layout reminiscent of the DW6 platform. The chainstay’s lug actually has two pivots, one connecting to the higher link that pivots about the seat stay, and another that connects to an even shorter link that again, pivots about the seat stay.
I can’t quite do the mental gymnastics necessary to see exactly how these links will articulate, but it’s clear from the high main pivot location that this bike will deliver a rearward axle path.

Heart valves made in minutes control blood flow immediately after being implanted into sheepResearchers have developed a method for cheaply producing heart valves in the span of minutes that are functional immediately after being implanted into sheep. The scientists call their method 'Focused Rotary Jet Spinning,' which they describe as 'a cotton-candy machine with a hair dryer behind it.' Though long-term in vivo studies are needed to test the valves' endurance, they effectively controlled blood flow for an hour in sheep. The prototype appears June 7 in the journal Matter.
