not high level, but shimano dropped ESSA today - 8-speed budget drivetrain https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/shimano-introduces-essa-fro…

IDK, looks like it would only last for 3-4 minutes

I don't know the bloke at all but from what you see on social media he looks like he's committed to his kids racing rather than his and fair enough...he's got nothing left to prove to anyone . The level at world cup DH is so high now and with the format that unless you have some chance of making at least the semis I'm not sure it would be worth it from a sponsors point of view , but if a bike manufacturer gave Sam hill a bike and some money and made a few videos every year of...

I know it's a joke but it's also legit pretty cool:

Looks like an over-suspension'd Izzo, frame details are exactly an Izzo, down to the chainstay protection. Cool but strange build.

Couldn't agree more. In 2014 I bought into the hype and sold my 26" for an Enduro 29er, only for it to have a 67.5 degree HTA and ride like an XC bike on the downhill. I OTB'ed for the first month more than the previous 3 years until I adjusted my technique. Fast forward a few years, and by 2019 it was hard to buy a bike that had crap geo, and now all bikes have the same geo haha. All suspension is pretty good, all brakes are pretty good, and all high end builds are neon-pastel frame colors...

Just buy the black then. Don’t sweat though the Kashima lowers will be available very soon

Can we finally do away with orange lowers on these new fox forks? One of the worst things to happen to mountain biking.

not a fan of the new font

What really bothers me is that Lewis brakes CHOSE to MIMIC the way Trickstuff brakes look. Hope/Trickstuff/Intend/Sram/Shimano/Hayes/TRP all look pretty distinguishable, even between some of their own models. It's not how brakes are made is a secret anymore. You have a lever that pushes a piston that pushes fluid that pushes another set of pistons. Sure you can add cams here, adjustments there, play with leverage ratio, fancy cnc, parts, it doesn't really change the way brakes work fundamentally. Not discrediting the manufacturing of these brakes in any way. For a set of the more pricy Lewis brakes you can...
