Totally respect your point, I just wanted to make a joke about the Ship of Theseus paradox, using the Ship of Theseus paradox.

Nukeproof is officially back! The whole range is now online again, and there is a brand new Reactor to celebrate the launch too! Get the deets: https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/nukeproof-back-business-updated-react….

Your comment made me think. Will it still be Les Orres sponsoring that team now that Vali is going there? Seen as she has such a tight relationship and sponsorship with her home resort of Saalbach?

Wait wait wait. Youre wanting to pay top dollar for a Santa Cruz labeled frame that is just a crab link bike that probably already exists by another company? To each their own I guess.

I agree, DH bike everytime 100%

DH bike! Every time!

It depends on how many days a year I'm going to spend in a park. If below 10-12, then a long travel free-ride or enduro bike is the answer for me, which is what I have done (nomad 6). If more then that and I have no desire to try to dual use and pedal it anywhere, then the answer is simple, santacruz v10 or commencal. I've ridden 4 dh bikes in the last 2 years... of all of them, the sc v10 was like a pair of pants I've owned for years. The others required a getting to know...

While the industry will be just fine big picture, near term there aren't really any "growth opportunities", especially for a company...

Healing vibes to Fabien Barel - not the kind of off-season news drop we were looking forward to, but here we are. Get well soon Fab!

During a recent test session, I had a heavy crash…The kind of crash that knocks you out and leaves you with no memory of what happened. The impact left me with several fractured vertebrae, a strong head trauma, and multiple contusions...

Yeah, I’ve been impressed not just that Push do respond but that they keep doing it so consistently when often they give detailed info to people who don’t understand it and it all goes south. Nice work Push.
