I am reaching out to you because I believe your audience would be interested in our company's launch in early May and the two new products we're launching with, the Cardio Speeder and the Super-E. These are the first-ever "procumbent flying position" electric bikes on the market.
The procumbent flying position, a new riding position invented by Martoni CEO, Marty Williams, is a posture that combines ergonomic riding with speed. On a procumbent bike, there is no saddle; riders step on to the pedals, rest their hips against a cushioned hip support, and lean forwards to grip the handlebars. This position allows ideal body weight distribution over the whole of the bike, promoting comfort, improved control, and a more enjoyable riding experience.

Ti Lever/Piccola HD. TrickStuff is now being launched into the North American market. DT has been servicing brakes in the US for some time now. TrickStuff will be sort of slow roll entering the US through key retailers/online retailers and expanding from there. BTI will have parts like pads and rotors.
Noticed something else as well. Maybe I'm wrong but isn't this a new Centerlock brake disc from Trickstuff? AFAIK, previously they only had 6-bolt versions.

SRAM update there cranks without saying anything? Just bought a set of 165mm replacing 170mm and noticed how much slimmer it is by the spindle

That was a running change made not too long after launch, at least 1.5 years ago. Definitely a nice revision, but I don't know why they didn't originally launch that way.

Still 6 bolt only. Centerlock has been discussed of course. No further information to share at this time.
I believe that is the S-1000 transmission derailleur and not gx.
nope. i don't have picture but they sent me 3 upper derailleurs as a warranty for failed GXs and all the grey bits are black now, it also seems like they put some sort of o ring around the battery pins, probably they had to do something given the failure rate
did weagle's mid-pivot atherton discussion ever make it in here? here it is (possibly again :)

What he says about very high pivots is so true in my experience, I had the opportunity to try out a commencal supreme v4 the other week. The weight transfer when cornering happens faster than you can react, it's jarring and you feel like you're about to sail right over the top of the berm. It's no surprise that pivot heights have been getting lower recently when compared to that first wave of high pivot bikes.

You just adjust your technique.
If you rode exclusively high pivots for a while, then hopped on a more traditional design, it would immediately feel very strange the other way too.
i get that these discussions are fun, but also annoying to most who just want to read about new tech/rumors and don‘t want to scroll through pages of off-topic discussions regarding chainstay length/right amount of travel/dropper post insertion/ etc.
They updated the GX T-Typer derailleur now all black and did something to the cassette in silence too
Really don’t get the dumb dislikes on the previous post, the black ones ( I got 3 all in full black with the last 3 warranties ) are the latest stock apparently, and after some torch inspection no, there’s no extra seal around the pins, so they will keep failing with moisture staying trapped causing the spring to corrode or something.

Or Megatower?
Careful how you say stolen, haha. Thought you meant the bike was stolen during sea otter.

I see 6 holes and adapter

Damn looks so much better!

Looks like a new emtb from Norco? Maybe we lightweight or new range VLT

Shrinkflation, just like the box of cookies. Pay the same get less.

Kiran might have the best job in the industry.
They shared one of their own posts. It’s the new Sight VLT C2.

This is my social media, Im very out of the loop, who is Kiran and what do they do?
He’s in charge of what shock tune Santa Cruz specs on their bikes. Also helps with the development of product at Santa Cruz.
Great guy. Good at what he does.
I can't come up with anything that does it justice, so I'll just leave it here:
"The "Goldilocks crab" refers to the hermit crab in a shell chain that perfectly fits its size, triggering a shell exchange among other hermit crabs."
This is not mtb but its one of the more interesting ideas lately, has it been already mentioned here?
I really like the idea im not going to lie.
Notower or megamad, pick a crab and be a dick about it.

The plot twist in this video literally had me dropping my jaw
Ever broke a hub axle?
can we please stay rumors in here?!
