Episode in French.
Lévy Batista is a professional e-MTB enduro racer, as well as a designer and development rider for mountain bike brands.
Lévy’s sporting career could have been on a motorbike, given the level he reached in motocross.
But today he devotes most of his time to enduro on MTBs and e-MTBs, taking care to share what he learns with his audience on his YouTube channel.
We took the time to record a live stream with Lévy, in which we talked about:
– Why he left a promising motorbike career to focus on mountain biking
– The real problem with motor power in racing, and the ideas he is exploring with the UCI to make it fairer.
– Why you absolutely must move your shoe cleats back
– The counter-intuitive benefits of short cranks on a mountain bike.
– Why he recommends going one size down on your next e-bike.
– The questions listeners asked during the live
And plenty of other things
