There are still plenty of purists who just don't want to ride an ebike, but still want an enduro bike. BUT, most 2020 enduro bikes ride just as good as a new one, AND, like mentioned before, a modular park/enduro bike makes more sense. RIP enduro.

The future of long travel enduro bikes is being modular and compatible with dual crown forks to double as park/DH bikes. It makes a ton of sense from a company and manufacturing perspective

It's for aero.

100%. I don't even want to run my XC bike without a bashguard.

Cheers mate, I gave him a high five for ya 😉🤙

agreed. I am never a fan of subjective rulings. I think the 10s per pole would work nicely. Its punitive but not absurd. 10 seconds would have placed Lachie in ~18th. Still gets some points for a great run but penalizes the mistake.

I'll happily die on the hill that the current rule sucks, and has always sucked. A time penalty, that's based on per-incident circumstances, has always made more sense to me. Let the rider continue pushing on their run, and let the governing body of the race do their job and dish out penalties at their discretion. Nothing looks more ridiculous than a rider pushing up the hill in a downhill race to enter the course where they exited. #endpolegate

I worked at Fox during the acquisition of Marucchi and can say these were the reasons behind it: Diversify out of the bicycle industry During COVID obviously there was a huge boom and bust cycle in the cycling industry and Fox was really just along for the ride. Record quarters followed by huge slumps. The C-suite decided to aquire a company outside of the cycling industry to hedge against further industry specific disruption. The SSG division of fox stands for Speciality Sports Group, and they wanted to cover more than one sport. There were perceived synergies in the product lines...
