From ESMTB/MTBR - Fox seems to be testing new neo suspension for XC this week. No caliper sensors to be seen, battery placement on the bottom of the leg of the fork. Shock seems to be some xc-float version, not the float x that some XC racers have used before. https://esmtb.com/ya-estan-aqui-cazamos-las-suspensiones-electronicas-d…

Not a rumor: silver dorados are dope. Remind me of shivers so much. Not a rumor: carbon dorados are ( more classy) classic.

This sounds interesting, especially the last part about Shimano! Maybe I'm just extrapolating from my own preferences here, but I feel that most MTBers who have been in the sport for a while thought the previous-gen Bosch motors were already powerful enough, and that they'd rather have the lightest possible motor + battery package at that power level than even more power and bigger batteries.

So back to team rumors... The Downtime Les Gets pre-race podcast had a bit of discussion about teams wanting to sign up and coming juniors, leaving riders towards/at the end of their career with few options. They didn't mention names, but I'm sure we can guess who might be in this bucket. Danny Hart jumps to mind first. Who else?

The World Cup circus is back after a big break, returning to the classic French Les Gets venue. Lawlor will be there with the goods, riders like Ronan Dunne will return while others like Finn Iles are out due to injury. Weather looking iffy right now. Hopefully it's just enough moisture to make the dirt good. DH Rider Entry List (PDF - may differ to actual qualifying start list) Share your social and web finds from the race here!

In Europe they seem to not sell MTBs at all anymore. Just classic looking commuter and ebikes. Too bad, 30 years ago they had sick ti frames (sadly not mine).

1- MaxxTerra DHX DH casing should be in the next 1-2 months. Other pattern DH casings in Maxxterra in the fall, or end of year at latest. 2- the grade of nylon was changed for the new DH casing compared to DD. The ply overlap has also changed, DD has 4 layers under the tread in most locations, where the new DH has 6 layers consistently out to where the under tread overlap meets the sidewall protection. This ends up giving more under tread protection compared to the old 2x60tpi DH casing by around 30% in a plunger force test...

It's friday and that sounds like the perfect time to start a fight about wheel sizes again! Not exactly MTB, but Cube is supposedly dropping a 32" gravel in it's 2027 lineup. Saw this image floating around, first brand to commit to 30.5" ? Would hate to be an inventory manager right now...

I posted this in the Suspension Component Technology thread but I thought it would be worthy of a post here. It's the designer of Yeti's Sixfinity talking about a bunch of different suspension designs, the engineering thought behind each, and talks about some specifics that a lot of other suspension chat sort of ignores or intentionally leaves out. He also mentions that the Four Bar Flex Stay works really well for an ASR and the Sixfinity works really well for longer-travel bikes. He also talks a bit about the Switch Infinity. He doesn't specifically say anything (yet, I'm not 100%...
