Relatedly, I have always thought Loic and Finn's getups look so dope. I hate how most MTB gear is baggy and ill-fitting. Has anyone had luck finding MTB gear that with a similar fit to Loic and Finn's fits? I'm not talking about skin suits, just properly fitted gear.

I'd love to find some shorts that are large enough in the thighs that don't just fall off of my waist and leave me constantly pulling them up.

Curious about the hybrid air/coil negative spring on the Formula air shock. I'd like to see a teardown to get a better sense of what they're doing there.

first ride of the new YT tues is up on pinkbike. underwhelming is all that comes to my mind… bike looks the same 99% plus geo from 2020. using that diaper just to generate hype.

the YT hypemachine strikes again IMO!

Orbea and Scott. Niche but not really? Kinda weird, but also kinda normal. Lots of people love them. Stuck to their ways of being weird, but also kinda normal.

They can release some new bikes, but first they have to take care of their customers...

Might've just figured out the name of the new schwalbe assegai resembling tire. Oops my bad. Albert Gr___? Also looks like new schwalbe branding, not sure how to feel about that

More bike covers from Gamux , are they hiding something important or just marketing hype at this point?

Of note, "Gamux machine the Sego DH frame from 7075 T6 aluminum, and then bond in carbon fiber sections to fine tune stiffness"

It was interesting how YT said to keep our eyes peeled around the high-pivot Tues. Maybe they are going to run it only at certain tracks? Still testing?
