smelly Liked a reply to forum topic 2026 MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation - Longer and Slacker

Eliminate the loam shelf under the shock and make internal cable guides. Seat tube angle 1* steeper, but that’s just preference, not actually better. I wouldn’t mind the HA being a tad steeper too, but the industry disagrees. Want more travel? Get a smuggler. Want it racier? Go pick from a hundred different choices. Drop weight and it loses its party. Add weight and it’s a Smuggler. Slacken it out and it’s a smuggler. Ditch the flex stay and it’s a Smuggler. Lengthen the rear end and you lose playfulness and technical prowess. Can’t even conceive of a way to...

He ain’t on trek, I saw the whole trek team testing at my local trails a couple weeks ago. And Greenland wasn’t one of em. They all had matching gear and bikes and were doing a lot of photography and video. I doubt they would be doing all that missing a key rider, plus there were already 4 elites there...

Chasing your friends down your local trails as fast as you can and sharing the stoke at the bottom, continued progression in your 40’s, crashing but not getting hurt, tall bars, ripping a corner so good it makes you smile, building and riding my own frame.

Pretty spot on. From what I could tell it was the same team as last year plus Osin. All on matching blue and orange sessions. I don’t think it’s an issue posting this since they set up at the shuttle spot with two factory trek vans, at least 20 people deep, with music blasting all morning, at a well known...

Agree with others, closing the thread with no alternative is hard to wrap my head around. Alternatively, and I'm fully ready to get downvoted for this, but the "Crab" thing was getting really overplayed, I'm ready for that to chill out. Funny joke while it lasted, doesn't need to be repeated every day in response to every topic.

I’d bet intense was less than 15% of the funding for that team. Joe put a lot into developing axxess or whatever his program is. Tons of other sponsors, many that aren’t super mainstream, which usually means a bit more budget. They were in intense cause Joe helped develope that bike and didn’t wanna let it go as soon as the bike was actually good. If intense did have a team this year it would take them getting a lot of funding from outside sponsors. Possible but seems unlikely. They seem intent with just going after the NA market and...

After listening to the b practice podcast, i was actually kind of surprised how much results still play into contract negotiations. I know they are paid to be racers, but like Dak said, no one really remembers who got sixth at the last race. Also, no one is really selling downhill bikes, so very few people are being like that bike was fast I’m buying that. Dak certainly has a “people’s champ” vibe to him and people really do seem to enjoy following along with him and his story. I would have thought that was worth quite a bit when...
