2026 MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and Slacker

Giddy up. 

Eyyyy, This is what we needed. Just need this one pinned to the top. Once we hit 1k on this one they can lock it again. 

Happy to be here 🤝

I guess I will share the first screenshot and get the ball rolling. Get my notifications started too.

USD, carbon fork, gearbox, and more! The future is now

hopefully we will see more of it soon!

Hello fellow Tech Rumours refugees

In before Sspomer locks this one for being too long and hogging resources. 

"we have GT ebike at home"

At first I wrote off Teewing for having a brand name that sounds like a made up BS Amazon brand name but this looks legit. I ran into a group of guys all on DJI bikes recently. One on a Crestline, one an Amflow, and one a Teewing. Had no idea what tf Teewing was but looked about the same as the Amflow. (although I was very distracted by the Crestline to be fair)  It'll be interesting to see if they break into the US market like Amflow has. As long as the price is lower than "real" brands I think they'll do well.  Cascade did come out with a link for the Amflow so does that make them "real" now??

Long travel high pivot full eeb exe?

Someone please start a Teewing specific thread...

What if we all just create a new thread for Every Tech Rumor comment? Then they'll Have to bring it back!

Thats what they want us to do! But the banter and self-referential humour will die with it!

if they really want that, they can move the related posts to a new thread. but i don't think they can do that atm with the limited forum software functions

This thread is shorter than the stays on my Canfield.

Should this be renamed to "MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and slacker"?

The decision to lock the other thread has spawned a successor which we will quickly grow to dozens if not hundreds of pages in addition to a slew of low-quality posts (I am not innocent here, admittedly) on both the old thread and the new one. Ironically, this has taxed forum resources even more. 

Subscribing

I get longer, but how does one make a chainstay slacker?

Please confine all discussion of chainstays to the Chainstay circlejerk thread

MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - 2026

Longer and slacker is outdated already. 

Chromag have that new purple frame bike thats been doing the rounds on display in the shop, freeride bike not a dh bike they said, full aluminum crab link. Looks really nice, the name was blacked out, coming out sometime in the spring. 

Sounds fun!

Long sub.

So I just replaced the old tech rumours thread in my bookmark bar with this page so I can check it 10 times a day. Please do not disappoint me people.
