quick thread derailment, I just got my first ebike, a Fezzari Timp Peak (170mm f/r), claimed weight is 50lbs, its also rated for a dual crown. I was also concerned about the weight but spoke with all my ebike friends and they convinced me to go full power and I'm really glad I did, I only notice the weight when trying to get the bike off the ground but it's only marginally tougher and I'm getting a lot stronger in my shoulders, arms and back. I felt super comfortable on the first ride, Jumping, cornering, and going through rough stuff is a lot better on my ebike, so much traction and stability. After a couple rides on the Timp Peak I did back to back with my Spire and it felt nervous and twitchy and didnt corner nearly as well. Also, i get a killer workout still, i mostly ride in Eco mode which is about twice as fast as pedal bike working at same level, so i can do 4 laps on a trail I usually only do 2 laps on the pedal bike. I still want to ride a light Ebike but I'm incredibly happy with the full power, in eco i could probably get close to 50 miles and 6-7' feet of climbings.
Awesome! I’ve been drooling over it hah, great spec and I’ve heard good things about fezzari. Only thing holding me back is the ep8 motor and can’t tell if it’s actually something to worry about or not (lots of mixed reports in the interwebs).
I seem to remember someone doing something similar with a transition smuggler rear end and a diy steel front frame, but I can't recall where I saw the pictures. Any ideas?
Interesting that GX has the battery mounted in a new position thats probably a better more protected place than what the old axs mechs and other Transmission mechs have. Having said that, I've never actually had an axs battery knocked out of the mech in a crash but have heard reports of it happening. It looks like it would be much less likely to happen with this design if at all.
You would have thought that the xx1 transmission stuff would have benefited from this updated design first? Strange order to release it in.
I guess it means all the xx1 transmission early adopters will have out of date kit when xx1 gets updated to have the new battery position in a year or so.

May be it will be a GX-only afair cause GX is supposed to be the workhorse. As such, it will probably see extensive use in a lot more gravity-oriented steeds (170-180mm travel ones) and additional protection would only help its case.

Wishful thinking… don’t forget this is the bike industry. They probably just realized it could be better after XX and XO were already finalized and a project manager somewhere up the line said “better late than never”

GX is as much of a workhorse as X0(1) is. The difference is the price point and the subsequent sales volumes.
Not sure if this has been spotted. Probably not super interesting but still a new bike haha not sure if it’s another catalog bike. But new vitus dh bike, from joe smiths video

I'm guessing that was the Vorsprung break room (definitely heard someone putting their lunch in the microwave...)
They were in Camp Lifestyle and Coffee Co. (a coffee shop/store by their office) doing the filming. Too loud of an environment to be filming in with that mic setup. Appears they tried to clean it up with noise reduction and that degraded voices further.

That thing is so freakin' gorgeous!
home builder takes a kona process rear end and mounts it up to his DIY steel front end (this is the end of his 8 part build series)

Always wanted to do this. Even got as far as buying an old 26" Giant Trance for the rear end to make a fs 4x bike.

Asa won the BME Durango on one and Chuck is ripping another enduro sled from Frameworks
Holy seat tube angle Batman. I think it’s just an optical illusion but the shock looks really funky for some reason. Anyone else see that?
Haha for sure, but it's a normal Float X2 - the piggyback is in front of the Kashima shaft which makes it look weird.
Gx Transmission will be released later today
Forty thousand shades of grey for the new GX, it's not gonna be pretty nor cheap. Oh well
Cranks look like something out of a Kinder surprise egg

they only jsut released this last month... Vitus Releases New Dominer 297 DH Bike - Pinkbike
Looks like a different bike to me, straight top tube on this one?
And let’s be honest they can’t replace that thing soon enough. That frame’s been knocking about under various brand names for about one million years.
Looks like a new frame. Kyle straits most recent instagram video is a POV of him riding a DH bike with similar tubing shapes/straight top tube.

i‘m sorry but where was the adult in the room that should have told those annoying people in the background to SHUT THE FUCK UP??????
