Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast


Rémy Métailler Talks New Bikes, YouTube, Drones and More

February 01, 2021

Rémy Métailler is an incredible rider, who’s moved his insane skills from Whistler Bike Park to finding gaps on the steeps around Squamish, and he’s documenting it on his huge YouTube channel. Rémy has recently signed with Propain Bikes, so we chat about that move. We cover his channel, his use of affiliate links and how that’s helping him make better content. We also chat about riding with racing drones, how Yoann Barelli made him crash, and plenty more. So hit play above and listen to this episode with Rémy Métailler.

You can find Rémy on Instagram @remymetailler and his YouTube channel is here.

The drone company that we mention in the podcast is on Instagram @flowmotionaerials.

Canyon Bikes

This episode is supported by Canyon Bikes. Canyon has just updated their eBike range, and they now all feature the amazing Shimano EP8 motor, providing 85Nm of torque. They've also launched a brand new model, the Torque:ON with 180mm travel, 63.5 head angle and a playful ride for all your gravity needs, without a chairlift or a shuttle. If that's a bit much then there's the 150mm Spectral:ON that will enable you to cover much more ground on your trail rides, and the 130mm Neuron:ON and hardtail Grand Canyon:ON too. What's even better is that they are currently in stock. So if you're interested in an eBike this year, then head over to canyon.com now and check them out.
