Actual tech rumor: when the Specialized motor is in Class 3 mode, the peak power is 1/3 of what it is in Class 1. So if a rider puts it in Class 3 mode, they will need to substantially increase their output. I'm guessing most ppl who actually purchase ebikes won't be able to accomplish this. Can anyone confirm?

My understanding of Uncaged program is that the athlete could choose to run whatever components they want. That would have left Jack free to choose to run full SRAM and benefit from a partnership with them on the side. The only thing that Uncaged guarantees is that the athletes won't be forced by YT to run parts they don't want...

Rivian spins out a new micromobility startup called Also with $105M from Eclipse The motor/ebike wars are just getting started. Can't wait to put my $15k+ Rivian ebike in the bed of my $100k Rivian and drive around Los Gatos giving acknowledging head nods to my fellow rich people.

All these new bikes coming out, but is Yeti ever gonna update the SB160? I don't see any reason why they would tbh. I was just marveling how they knocked it out of the park 6 years ago (sb150 basically same) and have been able to just sit back and print money since then, maintaining consumer awareness purely through their...

Have heard through a couple of shop owners/industry members that the 2026 Fox lineup will be very, very good. Not exactly sure in which way(s) it's outstanding but I would consider their opinions to be in good faith

Here’s a rumour: Fox and Rockshox are both working on something new. Bravo kiddo Let’s state the obvious. Is this really the level that we’ve sunk to now.

Personally, I really like small gaps between gears. Being able to have a gear that I can match to the slope, my power output, and what cadence is comfortable to me given the amount of energy I have is awesome, and having more gears with smaller steps between them gives that to me. It's not something I would say I need, I do pretty well with my current 12 speed 10-51 shimano cassettes, but having another gear and making the smallest ring a 9 tooth would be awesome, so long as the chain isn't compromised. I am also hearing 13...

Lewis should have ripped off Hollowgram sisl2 cranks but adapted them to run the SRAM 8 bolt interface and a 24mm axle.

Jack Menzies got the news from Canyon that hos contract wasn’t being renewed before his last race so it’s not far fetched to say the same could be the case for Millie

My interpretation is the idea of returning EDR to what it was in the beginning. An intent to design courses that better suit a 160mm bike with a 36/Lyrik on it vs a bike that is basically a single crown DH bike. What round was it that had a boat load of pedalling and complaining of it being too long and tight transitions? More of that.

Fox Genie fork incoming? AKA a fork with a larger air spring and piston. The other site has an article on the Genie-equiped Levo SL, and they write " Word is a fork equivalent on the dual-stage air spring is under development."
