I too have had some good times riding in Sintra... even with a 26"-wheeled Jekyll. So maybe I don't need a huge reach to enjoy it. But I get what you say about the extra security, and I think I might go for the XL to see what it's all about. Thanks for the answer!

You are really the only person qualified to answer your question. As you would probably have gathered from the article, I'm your height exactly, and I had a great time riding the XL on the trails in Sintra at the launch. Most of these trails are of the fast and rough kind, that...more

Judging from the ratio of up-votes to down-votes you have, I would say that it's you who is out of touch with the MTB industry and what end users are looking for.

I spoke with someone last weekend at Outerbike Bentonville who had been running a pre-production wireless dropper. They said they really liked the light touch to actuate the post and they found themselves using it more as a result. 40 hrs of trail time before a recharge. Sounds...more

Glad to see these healthy changes. Sounds like it will be mutually beneficial to the riders and the event both.

Added a new video AIRBORNE BICYCLES: Pathogen Downhill Frameset
Airborne riders Josh Patton & Trevor Gay shredding the Pathogen at Snowshoe Bike Park in Snowshoe, West Virginia. The Pathogen is a modified 8 inch-travel single pivot suspension is super plush (at 240x76mm) and eats up the big hits with ease, while keeping brake feedback to a minimum. The double-butted 7000 series frame has been massaged and tweaked with rider feedback to include extra mud clearance, internal cable routing in the rear for both derailleur and brakes, and replaceable left and right drop-outs. All pivot points use sealed bearings with dust caps. The 64 degree HT angle coupled with an effective 72 degree ST angle makes for a neutral handling bike that's great on both your local gravity scene and a World Cup level event. The Pathogen frameset includes a FSA Orbit headset, tuned X-Fusion Vector Coil HLR Shock with 5pc bushings, 3 different spring rates, and rear 150x12mm Maxle. It comes in two colors: Warning Yellow and Black Plague. Small (15") Frameset comes with 350/400/450 springs. Medium (17") Frameset comes with 450/500/550 springs. Large (19") Frameset comes with 550/600/650 springs. For sizing and fit info, please take a look at the "Geometry" tab below. Please call us at 800-888-BIKE if you have any questions, thanks!

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Fest just plain wanted it to be their own series and to keep Red Bull out of it.

Well. If you also add more travel (and sag) to the fork, you’re back to where you started (although on steep climbs the rear will compress more, yes). Then add progressivity, actual sag, leverage ratio at sag, and anti-squat to the equation, and you arrive at how a given bike will...more
