The build brings across a great amount of gravity inspiration while staying with his Yeti Factory team sponsors. As quite a few years Fox suspension development driver, the Float CTD Factory fork had obviously recently been tuned to supply longer vacation – a mod that perhaps didn’t workout very well by the blown left environment seal. It seems he could be trialling a unique damper also, with the base knob in a silver colour while the CTD in black.

Graves is no question a strong driver and manages to push a single ring setup without problem. Even with a wide/narrow 32T Wolf enamel chainring and a XTR Shadow + back derailleur, Graves nevertheless decides to utilize an E13 XCX top-style chain guide for extra safety.

As a levels energy meter driver, Graves monitors his information on a Garmin head unit – one thing he misplaced in a-tumble during the competition and a common event, exclaiming – “That’s the 3rd one I’ve lost previously thirty days!”.

Many people currently think Graves could be the best-rounded driver of recent times, and his present performance might be likened towards times of John Tomac. Will we come across Graves race cross-country regarding globe phase? Just by his recent performance – he should consider it.
