as a package engineer, i'm probably the only one here interested in the technical side of the it. one thing that I find interesting is that they filed a US patent for a box they don't plan on using here. thinking about it some more, on the surface that may seem odd, but it's probably more to keep their IP from being poached here, so others don't see the design in use in other markets then implement it in the US market.

some lyrik in the wild. new lowers already but no flight attendand in sight. alltough already had those new compression knobs as seen on some blackbox boxxers.

New Torque? @ rampage 1st hits

RIP behind the yoke

Shouldn't it be time for Red Bull UK to sign Reece Wilson? They've had tremendous success with Tom Pidcock and Evie Richards on the XC side this year and they should also have a consistent podium threat on the elite men side of DH. With Gee out and Kade being more of a freerider these days, it seems only Laurie Greenland has so far been Red Bull UK's only bet lately. It would also help if they had another Scotsman on the mtb roster outside of Danny MacAskill (and the occasional Kriss Kyle appearance on dirt). Reece proved this year...

Sam Hill's wife confirmed yesterday on her Insta story that Sam has no plans to retire

Talked to Gwin the other day, it seems like he's rearing to get back to racing World Cups. I would be shocked if he retired before at least 1-2 more years on the circuit.

Martin maes to orbea / oton retires Kona team is done Lots of pro woman looking for teams next year as most are up for contract

I would not be surprised if Warner had to hold back a little becuase I'm pretty sure some people in the industry were not happy after last years live stream public announcement :D This year also seems to be heavier on the retirements so I believe there will be spots for younger riders!

Nicest guy ever, went out of his way to find a marker to sign my kid’s hat in the pits. Stoked for his amazing career and for him to have more time with his family!

I'm really happy that he made sure to be there with the team to BE PRESENT FOR THE FANS. It cannot be overstated how valuable it is for the US fan base to have him at the track, in the pits and available to the public again. Good on you Gwinner. The US fan base will remember you making the trip & joining them in the celebration of DH World's return to US soil.

Gwin has been plagued by injuries that he’s downplayed for several years consecutively. He hasn’t been able to charge and as a result, he hasn’t been a major player recently. People have a short memory. He Dominated for several years only losing a race here and there. if he could get healthy, he could contend again for a few years. I do think his experimenting with smaller and less established sponsors every year hasn’t helped.

Do stop trying to come up with fancy ways of saying bike. Its bike and ebike. We don’t need anything more. Not “acoustic”. Not “analog” (or analogue). Not “pedal only”. Inventing new ways of saying bike just makes us all look like cretins. Surely you don’t think that anyone is that stupid that they don’t understand the difference.

Just looks like a 5010, especially given the older decals on the fork.

Did anybody else notice the blue Santa Cruz in the syndicate’s snowshoe day 1 video? Anyone else think it might be the next megatower?

Well if you're leaving out DH that's kind of cheating, since the new Session and the last few generations of the Supreme DH/prototype have all done really well across all sorts of races. Ignoring them, you only have a few examples of high-pivot designs trickling down to the enduro/trail level (Forbidden, Norco, Kavenz, Deviate, GT, Cannondale) and they're all relatively unproven. Now, you could say that manufacturers are starting to move away from a true "high" pivot and lowering it a little (see the GT, Cannondale, and the Supreme prototype) to make the handling closer to a 'regular' design while...

IT TOOK TO MAKE TIME TIME.

Here's the full post on Sik Mik's retirement via his team: After an incredible 20 years of racing, the legend of our sports Sick Mick Hannah announces that his last World Cup will be this weekend in Snowshoe, West Virginia. Mick’s first elite mountain bike race was in Maribor in 2001 where he finished 6th! He stood on the UCI World Cup podium 17 times with one victory, scored 3 medals at World Championships and 16 Crankworx medals! Here are Mick’s words: “The time has come to announce that I’m retiring from World Cup racing. This is a...

your interpretation seems to be correct. there is a 12month duration that a bike can be raced, at that time the options are: -request an extension -release the bike for sale -discontinue racing the bike cannondale tested their new "DH" bike for i believe 2 seasons before abandoning that DH race program. however that bike did ultimately become the new jekyll.

And that other cable? For what it is?
