Penang Tranny Trial DH Race 2009

Last weekend on 27september 2009 was the best weekend for all Penang Kia downhillers. It’s been such a 3 years since the last race at Penang International 2007. Kenneth is the guy who brought up the idea to do this downhill race at our new Point 84 of Penang hill hikers trail. This event was successfully organized by Chee Keong and friends for all Penang Downhillers whose ‘kaki dah gatal nak race’. All the riders assembled at deJuice Cafe around 7.00am. After registration and briefing they were picked up by truck to the Point 84 starting line. Mie Tokun and Shan were responsible to bring all of them to the starting point with their Isuzu trucks. Our team actually only decided to enter the race at the last minute because it was much too soon after Raya Aidilfitri. Only after practising a day before the race day, Zul, Omar, Eddie and myself decided to participate in the race but Kamal and Wan decided not to race with us maybe becoz they were still in the ‘raya mood’ haha...




The race started almost at 9.30am, and there were all 30 riders participating. All the riders were given 2 runs to rock the trail, and the best time of both runs determines the winner. Omar and Zul made their first run before me, and the last one is Eddie. During the first run, the trail was slippery due to the rain pour last night. I put on low pressure for my 2.3” minion and I tried to give my best shot for the first run but its turn out differently. Mistake were everywhere maybe becoz I pushed myself too hard. These things also happen to Omar, Zul and Eddie. For the final run, we all agreed to be more focus and relax just like our usual weekend ride. I got a pretty good run for the finals and manage to cut 33 seconds from my first run. Omar also had a good run except for the ending part, he crashed and lost some time to cross the finish line. Everybody seems to be very happy and we finished the event with the price giving ceremony near the finish line. The event ended at 12.30pm.

Here the Race result:
1st - Zel - 5.23
2nd - Andy - 5.35
3rd - Ghee - 6.12
4th - Hooi - 6.22
5th - Omar - 6.22
6th - Eddy - 6.23
7th - Tom - 6.30
8th - C.K - 6.33
9th - Kenneth - 6.39
10th - Willen - 6.42

2010 Manitou Dorado Pro Aluminum and Dorado MRD Carbon Fork

DH Consumer friendly, Manitou Dorado 2010

More pro Mountain Biking >>

Manitou re-introduced the Carbon Dorado this past year and everyone was stoked to see it back in action. The down side is that is was less attainable to the average downhill consumer due to its price tag. The good news is that Manitou has created the all new Aluminium Upper MY 11 Dorado and it's got all the bells and whistles you'll find in its Carbon sibling, and at a price that is inline with the market

The two biggest differences are the move away from Carbon Fiber legs to aluminum, which lets Manitou drop the MSRP from $2,750 down to a more DH consumer friendly $1,759. The internals remain unchanged, so there’s nothing new or unproven to mess with the fork’s well-received performance. The current carbon model weighs in at 2,812g and the new aluminum model will weigh 2,971 despite having slimmer legs and lighter, hollow aluminum crowns. Some of the new tricks learned in the development of the aluminum legs will trickle up to a new carbon-legged version for the trustafarians, making it even lighter

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

We would like to wish all muslim a very Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to our sponsor and supporting organization. To all the riders as well as race organizers too....Maaf Zahir Dan Batin if there is any mistakes, misunderstanding and misbehave...

Bukit Cermin 4th DH Challenge 2009

9 Aug 2009 a sweet day for Omar. 1st race with the new 951 intense 1st for podium finish and 1st place in the Men's Master A cat. The track was dry and there was a lot of possibility to wash out of the track going thru the 20 burms along the track. 50% of this new track has been rebuild from the previous layout. We arrived at Putra Heights at around 10am, Friday. Me (Kamal), Zel, Zul, Omar, Sonic, Zaki & Yamm of KSH Cycles manage to had around 3 practise run. There was not much technical about the track but to go fast, made it more difficult.
On the race day, Sonic realized that he needed a better bike than the Santa Cruz Nomad that he brought. Due to that he had fully used the capability of the bike to the max and bottomed the front FOX36. Omar's new sweet ride works like an angel. Going thru the track was explosive and he said that there was no better bike than this new 951. Zel rode hard but still cant get near to the top 5 elite. As Wan, Zul, Eddie nand me was lost in the swarm of riders but still manage to wooss the local as we went thru the rock section with pure speed. All of this because we are all use to gnarly roks n roots going down Penang Hill. Anyway, for me to finish 18th in the 50 riders in my cat is still a great day for me. Oh ya, will never forgot bout my old state teammate, Ian Chin and Kavin Har. It has been such along time since we ride together. Congrats to the organiser on building such a sweet track. I recommend u guys to try it. There were around 20 burms, 2 drops and a couple of super fast pump sections. Wish i had brought my camera along to take pic of the track for you guys to see. Look for pics in our gallery and videos of it too. We would like to thank CCI Malaysia for the support given. ALL HAIL CCI!!

Well,the race in Mt Erskine is for sure coming.The Penang Downhiller (PDH) is rebuilding the trail.It is so sweet and Wan love it.Our teammate tried it last week.Its nuts.He love to jump anyway.As for me,i love to keep my bike close to the ground....Now a bit twist for Penang Race,a new tokun track is been layed out and soon be cut n smooth.We cant spend all weekend there,slowly but surely a new track will ne formed...i like to call it a 'Malaysia Champeri'.We are helping Mie Tokun who is the brain of the work.Kamal and Yamm of ROAM

What is going on?

Its been a quiet few months for us.No racing locally latety....The ride kamal had in ipoh didnt count.He arrived there on sunday at 10am.Somehow the organizer let him ride for the final but with 5seconds penalty.Its ok then,at least a taste of the track.It is fun ang a great track.He just rolled down the final.As the last rider and 1st time had a look at the track while pushing up,he did well...not registered last at the bottom.missed the double drop,crashed at the left turn speed breaker and almost didnt take the drop.The track was so tempting,the drop came quick.He stop at the edge and turned around and do the drop...thank to the organizer.
