Stevie Smith, AKA the Chainsaw Massacre, is back. After breaking his ankle earlier this year in New Zealand, the reigning 2013 World Cup DH champion is back on the bike and looking to make up for lost time. The new season also looks like it brings with it a new bike with Stevie posting up next to a new Devinci Wilson prototype that is running 27.5″ wheels. Built with a new lower and forward rear shock placement, Stevie’s rig will be set up with the latest from SRAM including X01 DH, Guide Brakes, and a RS Boxxer likely sporting a Blackbox treatment.
If you look closely, you may also notice the Schwalbe First Ride tires which should mean full on 27.5″ DH rubber is on the way from Schwalbe. Take a closer look after the break to see if you spot anything else plus check out the latest clip from RedBull on Stevie’s Downtime…
