This topic has been talked about by people in the sector for some time (since the departure of commencal), it was a good move by Canyon to step away. I was surprised that Canyon hired him with these allegations. If they turn out to be true, it's very bad for the brands he still represents.

Dam Ream Tumors, just when I thought I was out, you PULL me back in!!!

If I read the French comments on his IG, he did something with a girl without her consent apparently... But yeah, it's comments on Instagram, so not a great source.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that he’s the team owner. People see “intense” and “owner” in the same sentence and jump to conclusions. I am super excited to see what he can do with Crestline though. Seems like he’s mirroring what the Athertons have done in Wales. They’d both been around the block and ridden for almost all the big brands. The Athertons bought robot bikes while Gwin’s got a nice slice at Crestline. Athertons have Dyfi and Gwin has Windrock. I’d love to see a red bull project where they ride each other’s bike parks.

Historically, Vital doesn't do cross country. We dabble here or there, but our passion is gravity-fueled mountain biking. When Specialized reached out at the end of last year about a new mountain bike on the horizon, I assumed it was for the new Stumpjumper (we all know it's coming soon). But lo and behold, it was for the Epic. Having always kept my knowledge of the XC world at arm's length, I knew the Epic had helped steer the evolution of XC racing, that it had a rear shock with a mind of its own, and that there was a...

Spoken like someone who’s never had to “declaw” their fingers after multiple Dirt Merchant to A-Line runs… There are just some instances where you don’t want your brake levers to feel like a clapped out 80s ATV...

This might be the bike release I’ve been most excited about in a long time.

Consumers hate Maxxis…?

Confirmed Rumor: All my friends who bought ebikes are fat now.

Thought you had to be banging the boss to get one of these. Ed?

I don’t know if I buy this argument, I don’t think the evidence would support your characterization. And just so you know where I’m coming from, I don’t have an e-bike. I do ride my road bike about 15-20 hours per week, mostly all super easy endurance volume that supplements my mountain biking. I do lots of intervals and am generally in such good shape that I won’t ever need to buy an e bike and have no desire to. My thoughts on the issue you’re raising: There’s no way people are getting *less healthy* riding e bikes. Even with...

HA! Or that... I had a feeling he was going off the rails when his first move was to pair the Mavens with XTR rotors. He should have read the manual instead.

There’s also the incredibly likely chance this random Youtuber is going out of his way to find anything remotely negative about a product that has generally favorable reviews solely to generate clicks.

They made a DC lyrik for like 2 decades bro. They just called it a boxxer.

Kovarik been on intense since Jesus was a boy.
