From Jure Zabjek:
Every journey has its end. I never thought that the sport that my brothers and I grew up playing would become a professional career. Travelling around the world, meeting new people, getting to know myself and competing at the highest level of racing has been a special experience.
I will never regret the path I have chosen. Each journey has brought me new challenges, insights and opportunities for personal growth. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this and helped me achieve these results, because even though you are alone on the course, there is always a team behind you and many people supporting you. Thank you all, we have achieved a lot together. All the effort was worth these moments. Despite the end of my career as a professional downhill racer, my passion for cycling is still strong. I will continue to test myself in smaller races and enjoy every moment on the bike.
Vsake poti je enkrat konec. Nikoli si nisem mislil da bom s športom 🚴♂️, ki mi je predstavljal igro s katero smo z brati rastli skozi otroštvo prerastel v profesionalno kariero. Potovati po svetu 🌍, spoznavati nove ljudi in samega sebe in ob tem še tekmovati na najvišjem nivoju je bilo posebno doživetje.
Nikoli mi ne bo žal za pot, katero sem izbral. Vsaka prevožena pot mi je prinesla nove izzive, spoznanja in priložnosti za osebnostno rast. Hvala vsem, ki ste bili del tega in mi pomagali do rezultatov saj kljub temu, da si na progi sam je za tabo vedno ekipa in številni ljudje, ki te podpirajo. Hvala vsem vam, dosegli smo veliko skupaj. Vsak trud je bil vreden teh trenutkov. Kljub zaključku profesionalne kariere pa bo moja strast do kolesarjenja vedno ostala. Z veseljem se bom še naprej preizkušal na manjših dirkah in užival v vsakem trenutku na kolesu.

I‘am sorry for Jure. Allways felt like he had a lot more in the tank. Have fun!
Santa Cruz hasn't been present at Sea Otter for a few year now even when the covid boom was still in full swing. They preferred to invite media to visit the factory the week before and have a open house/exhibit instead of having a booth 50 miles away in Monterey. I wouldn't read that as a sign of financial distress unlike the factory sale they are having right now.
Wow, Trickstuff knockoffs or what?
I'm assuming this is sarcasm.
Yes the only changed 2-3 Details.
There are several key parts of a bike that I won't cheap out on. Brakes are almost at the top of that list. I can not fathom how terrifying it must be as a WC racer to get handed something like this.
"We'd like you to go risk life and limb in our name. Also, here are some knock off brakes that we found in a dumpster, lol."
BRAKES
Yet there they are in the comments praising them.
To be fair, they’re actually pretty nice brakes. I won’t be buying a set because I don’t like supporting blatant knockoffs, but they actually seem to be well made.
Tried out these brakes on another fellas e bike at my local and they put my freshly bled hopes to shame, much better than the saints and codes I've used aswell
There are knockoffs and then there are knockoffs

Yeah, they get paid to praise them, wouldn’t read too much Into that
If only a few details have changed from the actual Trick Stuff brakes, wouldn't that mean they probably work about the same and just look a bit different? While the similarities are undeniable, these seem like a really cool and affordable option so long as we don't see Intense Factory riders flying off the track or blowing up sets of brakes throughout the year, .
People like to talk shit for the sake of talking shit. There has not been a single negative comment in the thread explaining why the Lewis brakes suck, they just say they do. I get it, everyone has an opinion, but some of these comments are just pure arrogance.
Definitely, this seems to be exactly the kind of testing they need
Career suicide to come out and say, our fresh new brake sponsor aint that good. To be fair I have never heard of this brand. Could be great. I know people that ride knock off chinese carbon rims and they.... work. If they truly are trickstuffs then more power to them.
I've been running a test set of ultimates for a few weeks now and... Well they're not bad, that's for sure.
One of my friends bought a set at the beginning of the year - really loves them and they feel very nice. I think calling them knock-offs and dismissing them is a bit unfair.
I prefer my breaking brake rumors in the tech rumors thread....but that's just me

Well I have a set of Trickstuff Maximas on my bike and I'd still like to try those Lewis brakes. They look good!!
Uncle Kirt on Spesh.
Sick
I’ll get you the Chinese crap. You send me your Maximas
Looks like it. There is something different going on with the lower part of the headset though. Could just be the photo.
