Intradrive Gearbox Powertrain Tucked away in a tiny little booth on a side row was Intradrive. Turns out they're a small Scottish company that's been developing an 8-speed gearbox-equipped motor for eMTB brands dubbed the GD8. Shifting is wireless electronic, there's a 480% range, and the motor can output up to 700w. The founder said that the motors are built and wound in Scotland and that vast majority of the parts and materials are sourced from Europe if not made in-house. There's an emphasis on serviceability, and the unit fits a Shimano EP8 mount pattern. The one on display used...

"Enduro" is dead, time to dust off "All Mountain".

Rumor has it they're adding it to GTA6 😂

All they had to do was this ...

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.

Avinox is over-hyped. This new Oso is just about ideal as a non-ebike owner. It seems to be very thoughtfully designed. My only hangup is the price ($2k more than the old one). I still hope they do an SL version. Also, I think the modular dropouts bode well for the next HD6. I heard a rumor that will be dual 29. Or will it be the HD7? 6... 7? hmm.

I'm just surprised they didn't call it the "rim jobber"

Sure hope one of my friends buys this

The funny thing is... the garbage can is still the most important tool for cushcore install....

tire installation wonder tool from cushcore - https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/rotary-tire-tool-radically-…

How many of us would have instantly paid $350 to have this when we were balls deep on the first CC install 🤣

Praise the lord. Thumbs of the world rejoice. I'll be at Sea Otter and I'm excited to check this thing out in person.

Please let’s not start that ”it’s too bike park” track talk again, we all know how it went with Poland. Just wait until we see riders riding it.

Tbh I don’t get what the hang up is regarding dual crown comparability. I think that’s more of legal dept. jargon vs its actual capability. Toss a 40 on that hoss and don’t look back. If a frame can take a pro-level rider and a zeb, there’s zero reason it can’t take a dual crown.

An updated Minion SS in a 2.40” was on my suggested projects list for many a company meeting…

Evil having some fun.

I probably haven’t been up Cypress in 15 years and of all the days to randomly go up there to teach my son to drive stick in the parking lot…. lol

Ya know, I'm changing my tune about 32" wheels. I don't really have all that much interest in owning a 32" bike, and I fully expect most, if not all of the first 32" bikes to not be in my wheelhouse... But right now, I'd kill for anything that isn't related to an ebike to read about. Never before have I yearned to digest some bike stuff that just involved the measly 250w that I struggle to put out. So... bring on the 32" content please, I am primed and ready for it.

lol this again
