I’m very impressed with the stability of that video. Any one able to give me an average speed?
I hope the guy lying face down at 0:48 is ok!
That was a lot longer than I expected.
Looks like they give away their bikes to the local kids after they finish.
Is there a prize for longest consecutive time spent clenching butt cheeks while watching a YouTube video?
It’s like a video game. Start off on a rocky mountain. Go through a jungle, a small village, a few roads. Even added weather changes to the mix as well.
Seeing the children at the finish line brought an unexpected to smile to my face. Love how he let all the kids see his bike.
Holy shit that guy is so much faster than everyone else. His acceleration even against other good riders working hard is insane.
I’ll take “fuck a bunch of that, for $300 Alex”
I think my ears popped while watching this.
What got me was how he passed his competitors on paved surface
That was 47min well spent, incredible riding.
I love the stoke and camaraderie that these guys exhibit during this ride. The top riders all know this guy and treat him with tremendous respect. Watching him chase down all the riders was awesome.
That was mesmerising.
I want to do this. But in truth I’d have had a heart attack before even reaching the first bit of tarmac.
All those riders in front of him seem talented AF to me, and then he just breezes right past. Stunning.
Now this is podracing!
How would I get into doing this?
How did the guy know his helmet gopro was stained that he wiped off?
Amazing Race
He has cardio for days and days and days. Just non-stop grinding when the other guys are coasting the flats after grinding the chunky parts, which is what I’d be doing. amazing
Even though I’ve seen a ton of his videos, I’m always surprised by the stamina and expertise Killian Bron displays.
This guy has hydraulic legs
This is brutally dangerous competition but the riders seems pretty chill with each other. What with all the fist bumps and thank yous.
Why is he so drastically faster than everyone on the paved sections?
It’s cheating to strap a visor under a drone.
conclusion, guy’s fitness level must be insane and he was very familiar with the course given some of the alternate lines he took at times
he was zooming past people on pavement
Damn. When I got near the end I checked the time and realized I was only a quarter way into the video. That is a hell of a ride.
Knowing the outcome actually makes it much more interesting than a regular race video. I hope he wears a rear camera next time so we get the reaction shots.
I’m sure there are atleast a handful of riders that have died on that course
This is Kilian Bron.
Fun fact, I rode a trail near me about 2 weeks ago, and afterwards was looking at my results on Strava. I saw that Kilian owned the KoM for a segment I had PR’d, and that he’d taken the KoM 3 days earlier on his first time on the trail.
He was also more than 2x faster than me.
wondering what the guy at 8:00 says lol
I gather he’s kind of a big deal.
*15 mins in*
man how long is this race?
*looks at timeline and sees 45 mins*
Ok I’ll watch the rest of this later, maybe?
Looks super fun wow
One professional against a hundred casual bikers.
Mesmerizing
Check out [Megavalanche](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mRyCxpumOY) if you want to see something crazier. There are like 3x as many people and they start on SNOW so there are massive pileups/crashes. Goes all the way down through forests and has very few paved roads in it. the difficulty is much higher than this peruvian one
Crazy
Never thought I’d watch 45 minutes of bike racing but here we are. Enjoyed every second!!
What a beautiful country
This is like watching dad waste a bunch of kids. I’d love to see an overhead map in the corner, it’s not clear how the dude wasn’t instantly in first place.
The dude has a clear unfair advantage in that the weight of his balls gives him extra momentum.
I do plan on participating in one of these some day. This guy Kilian Bron who shot this video is fucking mental, he’s so good at mountain biking! I highly recommend you check out his “Mountain of Hell” series, it has him going down a glacier every year racing against 1000 people, he always wins too (title kinda spoils it anyways).
Kilian Bron is always a good pick 🙂
OP thanks for sharing this video. I honestly didn’t think I’d watch the whole thing and yet it was over before I knew it. Made me very nostalgic for the movie Airborne. Every time I thought he took the lead another rider appeared shortly after. Crazy just how quick this guy rides.
