This bike checks every box for me - every box worth of things I won't buy: holes in the headset bearings, weird proprietary shocks, lockout levers that require substantial effort to remove, unnecessary integration. Is there a market for this? Have to admit it looks nice.

Nice review, good to see the stuff from the smaller, home grown bike builders.

This is the sort of content I come to bike websites for. There are so many good bikes out there these days and reviews like this give people real world information on that next purchase or just help scratch a curiosity itch. Nice work.

Can we also compare with other brands to help build an educated shopping experience? Does the Grid equate to EXO or EXO+? What about the Grid Trail, is that EXO+ or DD levels? We can compare weights and get ideas based on that but would be cool to have more construction/real info. Thanks for putting this out, an archive with the major tire brands would be very helpful.

Love that bike review season is back upon us. So many cool bikes out there these days and us mere mortals can only experience such small numbers. Good to see quality reviews coming out for us to live vicariously through and help make future informed decisions.

Very true, none of our Reactor models would be considered "extreme" or win a game of Top Trumps. However we put a lot of of effort into the engineering, R&D and testing to ensure they perform for riders in the real world on the trail. So far most riders, racers and media seem to enjoyed riding them (check Vitals review the other week). But happy to accept that they may not be for everyone- the beauty of the bike industry is there are a lot of brands to choose from.

Great riding from a great rider. Not sure why it involved an ebike though as all he did was showcase his skills on dh and jump courses. I get it, ebikes are here, but I don't need to see marketing contrive to show how viable they are under pro athletes, I still think they are for the old and/or lazy riders predominently.

Depending on where you live, but my favorite used to be dropper posts and now is being approached by the timberbell. We have a ton of other trail users out and I can turn it on for the DH and most people I see are already off the trail having heard me coming long before I see them. I get...

I find that pricing offensive as well for new Pivot. Not sure what they have to be so proud of and think that the marketing push budget must need to be recoup'd with such astronomical pricing. I won't spend that much money on a dirt bike and own a '19 KTM 300 xcw I bought new.

I appreciate the tongue in cheek and your general presence. That being said, I would prefer to not see any ebike content and especially ones that cost 14k and try to justify with only weighing 38lbs.
