Just to cleat things up, that was when Gary still owned the company. Clif is owned by Mondelez now… All Clif sponsorship is dead, they might have kept an influencer or two. Gary’s still sponsoring a domestic crit team via the family winery though, because he’s a true hero of cycling.

Ric, Josh, and Neko are akin to listening to paint dry. Watch 10 minutes of 2025 hard-line and then watch 10 minutes of any 2025 world cup. The Discovery gang is utterly dull. They barely even comment on the action. It's just bland, boring, noise to fill the air

Hey @jeff.brines just want to give you a shout for the second time sending me to Wikipedia from here. Today I discovered the Shallow Pond, last time it was the Ship of Theseus. Makes my once-totally-bookworm-brain engage with actually interesting stuff and tickle some neuron connections when it just wanted to kill time on a biking forum

Thank you, Sir!

RAAW is a german company, last year, the total numbers of all MTB sold in Germany was about 80k, that number is getting smaller and smaller in the last years. now look at EMTB sold, that was 800k, 10x as much as non motorized MTB. so they exist in an ever shrinking market if they don’t adapt to the new reality..,

Mondraker proto DH bike will be in production for 2026, Also comes with a 2026 Boxxer, which has Charger 3.2 and "air preload" (I assume this is that bump in the left lower) And DH transmission will be under the XX label, with new cranks ,

Man if there was ever a guy who I'd believe bought shit designed and priced for companies in the S&P 500 for his little bike brand, it would be Markus. I am not inclined to believe it was the "new investors" steering the ship on that one.

I mean I could understand using (that word is NOT figurative) the sole remaining Stockholm syndrome rider... But the others? In their shoes I'd be looking at some legal interventions/revenge, as that impacts on their own personal branding.

The PB article links to the YT website which offers no info on the bike and continues to use the likeness of riders they fired / stop paying months ago. Classy.

it wasn't a serious question. i know they'll never get paid back. here's another question. didn't markus blame other brands for a price "race to the bottom" as a reason YT cratered last time? starting off 2.0 with a bang.

Oh Spomer... those contracts were with the old YT company run by old YT CEO Markus. New YT company CEO Markus has no idea what you're talking about.

All I know is I haven't watched races live in a couple years since stupid subscriptions were part of the need to watch 8 whole short races over the span of 4 months. This junk is going to kill wc dh long-term.I have found myself slowly losing interest over it.
