2025 Rail is up on Trek EU websites with all builds & prices, but the bike is still not released or shown anywhere else (no US/CAN prices/builds or review out).
This has to be a typo right? Aren't most people on size L (M on some brans now) which is 470-480 reach??
If this is correct, it leaves a big hole in the sizing and that hole is where the majority of adult males in the US would be. IIRC average height in the US is 5'9" for adult males which equals to somewhere around a 470ish reach give or take depending on body proportions.

I dont want to let this down. 4bar is now crab link for me in this forum. One day I want to see a press release from a bike company, that lurks here, announcing that their frame has “Crab Linkage System”. One day.
Cascade Components has the opportunity to do something hysterical here.

Haibike saw that video from a decade ago of that French dude riding the mountain scooter and 10 years later they were like "Yes, but what if it was in e-bike form?"
It’s not 100% on topic for this thread, but it’s probably more on topic than the crustacean discussion.
A while back I think I saw some slick moto style split triple clamps on here. Does anyone remember what they were, or if anyone else makes aftermarket Fox 40 crowns?
I’m trying to find a set of 44 or 48mm offset crowns; the Fox ones seem to be vaporware according to the LBS (and they’re horrifically expensive)

You can get 48mm crowns from Fox. The 44mm have been discontinued but they did have the lower crown and flat upper crown a few months back.

Any word if/when Marzocchi is going to come out with a 29" 58? I want a simple freeride/park fork that can fit 29" wheels, not a $2500+ Boxxer Ultimate or Fox Factory 49.

Their dealer email stated the below:
Why the Sale?
We’re running this massive sale to clear out the warehouse and generate the cashflow needed to invest in exciting new products currently in development.
As the market continues to become more competitive, we need to rebalance our stock while investing in prototypes, extensive testing, and tooling for the future models we plan to launch next year and in the future.

I got the older boxxer select 29 new for 729. I've seen ultimates on sale for 850. As long as you don't want the latest and greatest there is good options out there. But yes a 29 58 would be sweet. I love my Z1.

About a week ago on Facebook they made a post asking who wants a new Darkside, it will be interesting to see if their new lineup is just small tweaks to existing models with the addition of a freeride/super enduro bike.

Does a tuned mass damper really do all that much in MTB applications though? The motion of a bike isn't very consistent, so the vibrations will vary a lot.
Yes it does, I can tell you. Have one on my bike and it is a massive difference in how the entire fork/wheel feels.
Right on. Reading about them here and on pink bike have made me get really curious about them and now I want to make one for myself. What materials are they making the sprung weight out of? The Countersycle on is either 350 or 550 grams. 550g in that small of a package is pretty crazy, it would have to be denser than brass or lead, unless they mass doesn't move that much inside the sleeve.
Update: I would guess it's made of tungsten, since it's almost 20g per cm^3

I think the only reason a 29" 58 does not exist is called Freeride
Getting into the game? What layout did they use before then?
If this is correct, it leaves a big hole in the sizing and that hole is where the majority of adult males in the US would be. IIRC average height in the US is 5'9" for adult males which equals to somewhere around a 470ish reach give or take depending on body proportions.
Seems like a big oversight if true.

"IIRC average height in the US is 5'9" for adult males"
This explains the proliferation of massive, lifted, 6l pick ups perfectly.
New sentinel Oct 23 with in-frame storage.
if you look at it, from a distance, at dusk, with one eye closed, it looks like a Unno :D
how many crab legs will it hold?
(i'm sorry i can't help myself)
Well, now you’ve done it.
Every time a company boasts in-frame storage, I’m going to call it “crab leg storage.“
The saddest thing about this image is that AI thinks the most typical full sus mountain bike has a motor. And headset cable routing. 😢
Haibike saw that video from a decade ago of that French dude riding the mountain scooter and 10 years later they were like "Yes, but what if it was in e-bike form?"
Calll it crab can then
If common 4Bar is a crab? What is a hardtail?
Prawn
Not a big fan of 4bar bikes, they're a little bit too snappy and too much lateral movement

Here's the part numbers...
Last time I talked to the LBS, they said that the 44 and the 48 lower crown were both unavailable with no estimated stock date.
I was considering buying a Marzocchi 58 for the crowns because they’ve been on sale but it looks like they ditched the 48mm option too.

They're not cheap, but at least they're in stock. I think Mojo stopped making the MORCs so those may not be an option anymore.
Those are actually quite a bit cheaper than a pair of the Fox crowns.
The only problem is that they don’t offer a dropped upper crown. I’m not sure if I could make a flat upper crown work on my XL frame.

Pivot's fifth generation downhill bike is more race ready than ever and loaded with adjustability - oh and it's 35 pounds as well. Read all about it in our review: https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/2025-pivot-phoenix-downhill-bike-review 🤘
