Just found some more photos on Twitter: DJI are borderline a household name around the globe. If they can channel their technology into efficient motors and lighter battery tech; this could push the whole industry forward. Would be nice to see them partner with a larger brand to gain credibility and integrate into a proven platform.

DJI coming up with an Ebike motor

teamrobot set a record for forum thumbs up, so here's a preview of what's to come (unlisted, only for the special people in this forum topic) regarding taking out pawls and testing ochain.

Loic won the race in sector 2 where he somehow gained 2 seconds over most people. All this talk about flat courses and hard tails, if you actually look at the sector times you'd realise that the electric bikes actually didn't even win the flat sections. Benoit Coulange was fastest in both split 4 and 5, Loic was 3rd and 10th.

Another one new gravel bike from Propain

I don't understand the negativity about this type of onesie. Tight fitting elastic clothes are standard in many sport because they are comfortable and aero. It also doesn't look funny like full lycra skin suit did.

The ext prototype was surprising. Was not expecting usd.

I'm not a professional/talented rider or anyone special by any means, but I am one of the people who was invited to the launch and ended up leaving with a Podium Gold fork. Nothing on my bike matches anymore and it looks hilariously bad with all of the random colors on it, but I don't even care; function over fashion. I am EXTREMELY grateful that I was even given the opportunity to go to Scotts Valley to check out all of the impressive new and upcoming products from Fox, Race Face and Marzocchi, and take home some cool new products...

Fox 2025 trickling out. Sea Otter is coming up quick... Doesn't appear to be any external differences on the Float X2 vs 2024, except for a new Kashima gold reservoir decal replacing the orange on aftermarket shocks. More evidence gold will be the theme for MY25.

Robert from The Loam Wolf here. I was the one who broke the Scalpel, and I’m not surprised I did - overshot the landing of a large jump for an XC bike, landing in the pocket between the landing and the flat ground after it. Huge bottom out. I corrected Kaz at Pinkbike’s quote - he had flatteringly guessed me to be 190lbs, whereas I am 220lbs. Nothing fishy. I wholeheartedly believe the Scalpel is fit for purpose and that it was my fault! Was having far too much fun and got carried away.

I would put my money on this coming down to pad retract. The amount of push back they would get if it was next to impossible to get the rotors not to ping off the pads would be a lot more than a stiff lever feel. Throw in a cam with an aggressive motion ratio in the early stroke and it lets you get the pad retract in conjunction with a larger ratio of caliper piston area over master cylinder piston area at the expense of increased lever force early on in its range of motion. So I think it's...

Could be worse. They could be doing nothing. I don’t get the whole e-bikes are bad sentiment. Sure I agree, you will get a bigger workout on a regular bike. for an overweight guy like me who is dead by the time he makes it to the top, to the point where on the fun part ( the descend ) I’m just too rooted and things get sketchy , being able to get some assistance up the hill to then actually enjoy the downhill means I’m actually gonna do it more times and still get what would be a...

New Norco Sight and Optic drop tomorrow. Local Norco dealers probably have one hidden in the back of the shop today.
