any chance Hardtail Guy has Raygunned himself in?

The media misreported; there was a final meeting yesterday where the law firm handling the bankruptcy case for RAD, the prior owner of Rocky Mountain, announced that there were no more funds to be allocated for unsecured creditors. I assume the file is now closed. Rocky Mountain Bicycles, under the recent Chaos Sports acquisition, is alive and well.

Seriously, the bikes are not bad, but the headset shit needs to die

has scott finally learnt, you can hide the shock etc but putting cables through the headset kills sales.... I wouldve owned the genius/ransom but they had to put a plastic ring with headset routing... yeah no, no plastic in headsets thanks.

I shudder to think what that nicolai weighs, my XL Range VLT is 30kg and it's a huuuuuge bitch. I have to put an event in my calendar to eat pasta and pre workout if I want to try a manual or bunnyhop on the weekend.

Just found these absolute gems! Why can’t someone make a proper flat shoe again. It’s insane how much better these dinosaurs are then my current ride concept

This is honestly shocking. WBD is a private, for-profit company. If they decide Enduro isn't profitable enough to broadcast, fine. That's their business. But why does a private broadcaster have a say in whether an entire cycling discipline gets a World Cup? The UCI is a governing body. Its job is to organize, protect and develop cycling for its members, not decide which disciplines survive based on the ROI of a commercial partner. And one of the most important jobs of a governing body is to provide a consistent pathway through the sport. Local racing → regional racing → nationals...

Man, that is a fuckin weird position to take. Who's going to want to touch the EDR if the UCI/WBD can just wrench it away once it turns a profit? In a way I''m really happy that its moving this direction. Part of the reason I lost interest in following enduro the last few years is it was run at the same venues and times as DH. The racing moved a lot more to bike park stages rather then big backcountry racing. Remember when they raced in Chile? Looked like they were riding on the moon! The stages were monster...

I hope it sells better than the Stumpy 15 for their sake. Big Red "updated" the Stumpy Evo — which really didn't need updating — and made a proprietary shock nobody wanted.

Couple insights Yeti MT coming very soon. Some shops already have them New Specialized enduro coming. My guess is march/april 2027. Apparently specialized believes it will sell better than the stumpy 15 which was one of there best selling bikes. No clue on design, just being told it’s coming

So maybe Markus Flossman can promise more money than Neko Mullaly. But you better take that check straight to the bank and cash it. I can see no other outcome than regret in 18 months.

I know Lapierre is still a desirable brand making quality bicycles (whether they exist in the middle of the barbell, not withstanding), but I looked up Raleigh's current product lineup on their website, and my how the mighty have fallen. It wasn't that long ago that everyone I knew had a Raleigh Furley for commuting or riding cyclocross, but now Raleigh is just generic mass-market Walmart bikes with the Raleigh label slapped on them. Ironically the Union Jack flag is still flying proudly all over the website, even though these bikes have as much to do with the UK as...

UCI ENDURO WORLD CUP - ROUND 6 - MORILLON, HAUTE-SAVOIE BRINGS THE CURTAIN DOWN ON A MEMORABLE SEASON: DAILLY AND CHARRE TRIUMPH AS THE 2026 OVERALL WINNERS ARE CROWNED A dramatic UCI Enduro World Cup season finale in Morillon, Haute-Savoie saw Adrien Dailly (Speed Project) and Morgane Charre (Pivot Factory Racing) claim Elite race victories, with Dailly overturning the Men standings to secure the overall title and Ella Conolly successfully defending her Women’s crown. In the Junior categories, Nežka Libnik and Hugo Marti Montessinos capped dominant campaigns by securing both the final-round wins and the overall series honours. Speed Project...

The coverage this weekend is pretty similar to how it's been covered all year. Elliott Heap goes out to rip a practice lap and talk through it, 25 minutes of practice highlights, 30 minutes of race highlights per race day, plus some interviews. It's been sick! I'm stoked the coverage is good and I watch a bunch and comment every-so-often to make sure the folks behind the videos know it's appreciated. If everyone commented every time, they'd probably do more which would make companies put more effort back into enduro.

Anna Newkirk interview... She definitely doesn't hold back on her feelings regarding USAC..
