Finding a mountain bike that balances performance and price is a game of compromise. However, after spending some time on the Polygon Collosus T6, it’s clear that for $2,500, this aluminum trail machine offers a surprisingly high fun factor with plenty of options for fine-tuning geometry right out of the box.

Yesterday I spoke with a guy who rode a couple of EDRs and would always ride xtr mech since forever but he was on a sram. He said not only the chain slap was unbearable on the new di2 xtr but he would also drop chains pretty much daily, to the extend the top of his crank which cought the chain became all scratched... The shifting was absolutely amazing but the reliability is horrible and he also noticed shimano sponsored enduro pros would run full dh chain tensioners or STFUs just to keep the chain on, which is mindboggling how...

~$500 dollars for a set of ‘DH’ crowns to ‘upgrade’ your dual crown forks which should have already been optimized for DH is diabolical. Let me just make my $2000 forks 25% more expensive because I got sold inferior crowns.

I have nothing to back this up but sounds like BS

One bubble counter argument to the multiplier effect, defense spending makes stable manufacturing companies that have some free time on the machines that can then be used to make bike components by the enthusiasts working there (5DEV) 😁

Sort of a tech rumour? Remy looks to be on an Avalanche damper in his latest video. We know Vorsprung is working on a new damper, and they had noted they’ve been testing all the other options (including Avy).

counterpoint - $600 is easily the cost of an ER visit for many people 🤷‍♂️

I feel like I can hear the derailleur just by looking at it 🙊

Torrent is clean. Bottle rocket is adjustable freeride. Quake is a capable race geo. (Iirc) Different bikes for different folks . I freeride and park my race bikes - and xc ride my enduro bike. But the world does seem to want FUN 27.5 park bikes and the racers do seem to want FAST DH WEAPONS. Why can’t we have both? The marketing isn’t even for us. There are literally armies of 15 year old boys AND GIRLS! Getting really into modern freeride, just riding down shit and off shit and being park rats in jnco jeans where I live...

I've always maintained that if you had to pay for your Gopro, I don't want to see your shit.

Having seen GoPro rent a chalet in the Alps the last two winters, ski, wine and dine clients I'd say they haven't been clever. And that was some mid level stuff & they'll say that there was benefits to getting big sales. Yes, very much enjoyed the comment of lame mates videos.

Quite the AI stuffed into this little whip.
