probably easier by now to make a list of brands who are NOT on avinox

In regard to front axles and stiffness of inverted forks, the angular deflection of a shaft is defined as θ=(T*L)/(J*G). The key variables for axles are J (polar moment of inertia since we're talking about circles) and G (shear modulus of the material). J for a circular cross section is J(r1,r2)=(π*((r1^4)-(r2^4)))/2 where r1 is the OD and r2 is the ID (zero if solid). As for G, the shear modulus of steel is approximately 3x that of aluminum. Now for a comparison between 15 and 20 mm axles... Lets say we have a solid 15 mm axle and want to...

DJI pivot incoming

Love your answer and I agree. I'll also add that the current Nomad and recently updated Bronson have dramatically lower levels of PK and Anti-Squat compared to the outgoing Nomad and current Megatower, which makes them worse for testing PK devices but better for testing shocks. PK creates a lot of suspension "noise" that can make it hard to isolate what's coming from the shock and what's coming from the brake or freehub. Another reason why the current Nomad would be a good platform for shock testing.

Arc'teryx has entered the mtb space, because you know, there just aren't enough premium brands trying to sell $350 riding pants and $500 jackets. lol (For real, though, even though all of my Arc stuff is the best fitting stuff I have, 0/10 would not pay those prices for it. The only riding pants I'm willing to spend full price on is NF. 10/10 worth it)

wild times, that's some quick turn around for changing motor, sales of other motors must be really down.

Matt Beer rides a nomad 6. That has been their go-to for shock testing since they completed their "shock week" series of testing 3ish years ago. There are rumors of a new long travel SC bike and there have been spy shots of some aluminum vpp mules. Fwiw, I have a nomad 6 and I've done a lot of shock testing on it myself (5 different shocks) and it is a great platform for shock testing for a variety of reasons.

...for European brands to release totally legitimate products with a complete straight face and then not understand why people in NA are questioning if some of them are jokes.

Oh god, I just remembered tomorrow is April 1st; brace yourselves...

Yeah, I didn't know they'd released an "EVO" model, either. Apparently "We're not releasing an EVO model for this Stumpy, ever" means "We're not releasing an EVO model for this Stumpy anytime in the next 2-4 months."

Mounted to the new unreleased Cannondale also.

Product drop coming next Tuesday?

A surprise to no-one, but the TR11 has what we all knew would come: Looks like the can is branded Linear XL now.

This is why many motocross sanctioning bodies have banned the use of POV cameras on the exterior surface of a helmet.

Somehow, the orange looks even worse on the Podium

Quite intrigued by this new peak design from POC. Reading between the lines I’d guess they’re going to offer options for different weather conditions and possibly aero? Also interested to know what kind of breakaway force is required.
