Thank you!!

It's awesome Vital is getting enough recognition that Fox decided to chime in. So far they haven't done anything but clarify a few things and answer a couple questions. @FoxFactory can you upgrade an existing gripX2 with the new mid-valve or does it require a whole new damper?

The new air shaft and dampers are backwards compatible for 40 - a new air spring/damper will take some different setup guidance than on the new fork due to air volume changes with the new chassis so "suggested settings" may not apply. If you are ever confused by what Model Year your product is you can look it up the serial number on tech.ridefox.com. Your gold fork would be considered Model Year 25 (Calendar Year 2024).

With all due respect Crinkle.. IT IS Awesome Fox now has a presence on this hardcore site. They still have not answered my question on here..Or the Suspension thread. But the ahowing up at the table is a cool start.

$100-$500 billion? Seems like a stretch. 🥁

If the battery size lines up that’s huge. I think there are a LOT of used e-bikes out there with EP8s

Also, I'm 99% sure that's a 223mm Freeza rotor, finally. As I write this, the stamped RT66 is the only Shimano rotor you can buy in that size, which is wild to me. Shimano needs to release a bigger high-end laser cut brake rotor for heavy dudes, ebikes, and steep places.

I'll preface this by saying, I've never owned/ridden a bike with a dropper longer than 175mm. I've had 2 AXS reverb in rotation on various bikes for the last few years, Evil Offering, Specialized Enduro, Epic Evo, Neuhaus Hummingbird, Specialized Stumpjumper, and Transition Spur. And I have ridden fairly gnarly trails with those posts, Pisgah, Kingdom Trails, Phoenix, Sedona, and Iceland. I cannot recall a single time when I had my seatpost completely dropped and thought, "man, I wish this were a little lower." Similarly, I've never had a crash or close call where I thought the seat's height was...

It's not a proprietary motor. It's a Gobao P120. Limited number of brands using it but it's not just an Aventon motor. It uses Shimano bolt pattern and apparently their batteries will fit same space as some Shimano. Could be a path of people that like their frame with a crapped out Shimano motor that are looking to update. Alutech in Italy is going to be using it and has said they would sell the motor customer direct for Shimano replacement.

The good thing about bafang is that you can just buy whatever motor or battery combo you want

Motor is a Gobao 120. A few different brands have their own white label versions of it. Each one likely has their own software tune on it. I think these share the same mount pattern as a Shimano. I think the Gobao is more refined torque sensor set up compared to the current Bafang M510 but they have a new RS version coming that is supposed to have revamped their torque sensitivity and added a rear wheel sensor that is 48 pole like the Avinox. The Bafang has a community that has basically open sources the software so if you...

Our French-speaking colleagues at Vojo Mag reporting that Isabeau Courdurier is planning to come back to racing in 2026 (after the recent birth of her first child). She will race select enduro and DH events, with the focus mostly on the latter (coached by Cecile Ravanel).

Or suspension curves 😂

I don't know whether to be alarmed or relieved that bikes are so homogenized that even aventon can release one.

Then provide some help and guidance to the gentleman with all your abounding wisdom.

Have you completely given up trying to genuinely contribute in these forums? I haven’t seen a post in weeks that has a positive connotation or actually adds to the conversation. Please don’t turn this place into a pinkbike comment section.

Yup totally agree - increases like this only hurt everything that isn't the oil industry....again.

9 months? But I thought the Supreme Leader said there was nothing left to target and he could end it any time he wanted. Maybe he's getting rich out of the higher oil prices? 🤔

The public has spoken, they prefer skinny downtubes over better handling. Even though many have documented that lowering the weight in this place is very noticeable and in a good way. My personal opinion is that Bosch should offer a skinny 800 (or more) battery to match what Avinox is doing as an option for the manufacturers. They can still offer the fat 800 if they prefer. I'm susceptible as well to the fashion statement. I wanted a 600w battery and I didn't want my bike to look pregnant and obviously be an e-bike. If the LTe had a narrow...
