I will never not downvote AI slop

$5 on Gamux x Manitou if Reece stays with those partners. Seems like they're hellbent on trying everything. The thigh-grippers/femoral artery shredder device will need redesigned to fit those 32" wheels though

It relates to 6-bar and 7-bar link suspensions, sixfinity and sevenfinity for example.

He's looking for a new sport, really. How many fully-salaried Enduro racers are there left?

In honor of the 1000th page, we should vote on the best meme of 2025: 👍🏻 for “Crab” 👎🏻 for “6-7” edit: Carcinization is the antithesis of innovation. Maybe we should keep crab talk on the crab talk forum and keep this thread focused on MTB tech rumors and/or innovation.

I'm just excited for the 2028 Enduro that takes cues from the DH bike.

Imagine if page 1000 is just arguing about this proto lol

People lose jobs, investors taking a bath, people ordering bikes that never arrive, riders without a team etc the audacity to call people keyboard warriors is wild lmao. YT literally FUCKED OVER countless people but sure, call us keyboard warriors.

Saudis buying WBD? WBD just sent me the $3k invoice for filming Vital RAWs this year (I figured they forgot), so maybe they're getting ducks in a row.

The production rule is more enforced on the road side of things.. Or just keep revising the prototype..

Your Druid v2 is an inverted crab

AI is gay

I think it might be the use of AI. A lot of people hate it, me included.

Lou and the team announced she signed with intense for the future mid season this year. She’s not going anywhere. Could be pheobe gale? Or just made up shit. That queenstown guy is a bit of a fisherman

Vital MTB: "I have friends everywhere."

Their enduro team was done last year but they graciously kept me on board for this year with my contract having another year on it. Sounds obvious of course, but the bike industry isn't always so giving. The DH team took me in and I had a blast all year long, which was the main reason for doing DH at the end of the year. I just wanted to hang out with the team some more, and who wouldn't take the chance to race World Cup DH while they can. As for next year, stay tuned.

Wherever the relationship is now (seems healthy enough) its undeniable it wasnt at least a little bit dodgy. Adult team manager getting romantically involved with team member he signed when she was underage. I think it being called out somewhat isn't necessarily a bad thing so that sort of shit doesn't become normalised.

He does, but he also talks a lot of shit, and is famously a massive nit-picker at race venues and complains a lot. So what goes around comes around really. People in scene aren't vindictive, but you can only tolerate a whinging pom so much, ya know? Still waiting for the Hardline BC announcement to come, wonder when that will be and what teams will be going
