Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

We did a comparison test between Specialized's Levo 4 and Levo R to see what separates each bike. And selfishly, I wasn't really sold on the Levo R and wanted to see if Specialized was just blowing smoke or if it served a purpose. TLDR - both bikes ride really well. The Levo R could be made into a sick mini-enduro bike with some different components. Motor power/range is great, but I'd struggle to buy one knowing Avinox exists and offers more everything at a similar or lower weight. Like, comment, sell your soul to the devil 😈

This may be the first yeti that has interested me in a long time. Better start selling organs now.

In a regular bike you have one big bearing for the crank. Using an idler wheel means you have a second mounting point including additional bearings that have a certain resistance when spinning. So the resistance from bearings is roughly doubled compared to a non-idler-bike. I really don't see how an electronic suspension could improve this.

New Fox Factory live fork or am i wrong? previously we only had it on shocks Seen on Pivot Suspension Calculator

To my knowledge, not with the newest generation live valve.

Understand the sentiment, but this is where the newest in new development seems to be happening.

I mean its the same as with the car industry, China simply has an upper hand on technology, production and pricing... And I doubt there will be protective tariffs on ebike motors as there are on cars

If I were SRAM I’d be worried. If I were Shimano I’d be shitting it

Here is what Mondraker has to say about the Avinox MG program, along with a look at a prototype they are showing at the Avinox booth: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this year’s Eurobike, Avinox and Mondraker will present a unique collaborative project: the MG Concept. The Mondraker MG Concept represents a shared commitment to innovation, exploration, and technological leadership. Built around Avinox’s Motor Gear development program, the project serves as an advanced research platform designed to accelerate learning, challenge conventional thinking, and explore technologies that may define the next generation of mountain biking. Innovation has always been part of Mondraker’s DNA. Throughout...

coming July I heard

do you live under a rock? check yesterday’s news about their everyday ebike for 3500eur (with taxes). those things are getting cheaper because of the chinese, not more expensive…

I love how clean and not flashy that is.

Arguing about surrons and surron demographics on the MTB tech rumors thread. Sick. I wonder if SRAM considered 6 pistons when working on the Mavens. Maybe after the 1000th piston massage, some SRAM tech was like maybe we should just add 2 more pistons.

New rumor. Canyon has a press release (which was revised afterwards removing MG) that at eurobike they'll have a long travel mtb with a prototype Avinox labled 'MG'. Might be a gearbox motor combo.
