Who’s got the inside scoop?
pedal kickback device i bet
I really hope "reboot" is a pun and they're releasing some mtb shoes.
...not because I need/want anything like that from WolfTooth; more because I want the clue to be THAT on-the-nose.
New dropper lever?
The blinking silhouette looks like a clipless pedal.
Squarespace website.
I know this is a thing from the other site but.... your user name checks out.
A German YouTuber got an Amflow/DJI bike and rode it as much as possible, and supposedly the quality of the DJI motor is not that great once you rack up miles. Of course it’s one guy, not hundreds. But I am curious to see what the reality vs. the hype is.
100%
It's a data point but I feel like every German review, is biased towards German products. Tires, motors, suspension, cars, etc. Hey, maybe they are just better.
What is true is that eventually the manufacturing grease goes away and Avinox motors will all rattle to some extend or another just due to their design, just like the EP801s & Bosch Gen4 before them rattled.
Agreed.
If it is, I hope it’s something interesting and new. I’m tired of “here’s our new SPD pedal, it’s special because we anodized in in your favorite color”
FYI, i've stickied the e-bike tech rumor thread for those wanting to go e-deeper - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/e-bike-talk-not-tech-rumor-derailme…
Umm... https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/clipless-pedals
i feel like you cheated.
the nerd in me appreciates the ctrl-alt-del joke.
i will say the adjustable q-factor is a really interesting feature.
Devastating!
Any Wolf Teeth reading this: you have people that love you. Turn to them.
Are SPD's the new stem?
You guys are crazy. That doesn't look anything like a clipless pedal. It's obviously a T-rex blowing a horn.
T-Rex Blowing a Horn is a new headset color available starting next week.
It matches the gross gold stantion of the all-gold Fox 40 perfectly. It's also the color of the typical 6th grade rental Trumpet.
That's correct. A wider frame in that area provides much more stiffness. Riding this bike feels like it’s not even an e-bike. Most e-bikes feel a bit flexy there when cornering or pushing hard, which is normal since there’s a big opening with 4 or 6 bolts holding the motor instead of a regular bottom bracket. This bike is very impressive in terms of stiffness and weight balance when jumping, doing manuals, and overall maneuverability and agility.
Pretty cool feature for dorks like me who like to pedal.
Fucking excited about that, honestly. I really feel the q factor on my big stupid Moonlander.
Adjustable Q is really interesting — the marketing copy makes it sound like they really put thought into the shoe-pedal interface. I’m definitely curious to try these.
That said, I wonder if, even with the extra shoe-pedal contact, I’d still clip out accidentally when cornering hard and rotating my hips — which is exactly why I switched from SPDs to HTs in the first place.
I think that's gonna be a big yes. Still definitely unclipping in those scenarios.
$360 CAD for the new Wolftooth pedals per their website. $360 for SPDs!
I almost spit out my coffee. That's TIME Speciale 10/12 levels of ridiculousness, back when they first came out. Arguably more crazy since there's no special sauce or differentiation going on with the very mature SPD interface.
The interesting one is the DEL - going for max weight reduction with the single mechanism.
They're aiming for the luxury side of the barbell with this release.
The prices here in US are right in line with M9120 XTR, so at the high end but not ridiculously so. Are there counter-tariffs on Canadian imports of mUSA articles?
Being 100% pedantic - it's pedal stance width, not q-factor
