They put out a whole comedy skit about it. He's in Colorado chilling and getting ready for the season.

I‘m also a bit confused. My terrain would let me get away with TR4s like 80% of the time for sure. But when I went to Finale Ligure last week I managed to get arm pump in longer trails with my Dominions. I want to upgrade to hopes, a for more power and b for the looks. I would ask the other way around: would a GR4 be too much power (I.e. too hard to control, skittish, OTB-Feeling)? For someone in the 72-75kg (160lbs) range and an Enduro/AM-Bike (15-16kg), who prefers techy singletrails, has direct access to around 200 vertical...

My understanding is that manufacturers mostly build carbon frames from the ground up (as opposed to being assembled from pre-manufactured tubes, a la Atherton Bikes), and that layup patterns don't vary much or at all between sizes ( with a few notable exceptions). But that might be old wisdom on my part, and perhaps the industry is more sophisticated in the way it designs layup patternds now. Maybe everyone is tuning thickness and layup pattern between sizes, but only a few brands are explicitly advertising it. Here's an example of Unno's layup for the Dash 130:

You can - depends on your desire to order small parts and do disassembly and reassembly. The kits will become available and the tech can be applied. You can look up parts kits on the tech page, though MY27 won't appear for another few weeks: tech.ridefox.com

Just added a new post to my substack for those interested. Here is the synopsis... The Bad (mostly covered here) • The factories in Taiwan are getting way fewer orders. • Canyon full year 2025: revenue down 7%, EBITDA down 34% • Knolly news (see above) - one thing I didn't mention is the mechanics here. Getting your LOC called sucks, and it extra sucks when your business has been contracting. I do wonder what the business actually looks like, how big the delta was (how much cash did they need) and if they were forecasting a profitable year. I...
