Then why is it fine for a 16/17 year old to buy a muscle car without years of driving experience? No one hates Ford/GM for making more powerful cars. DJI/Avinox are not like Lewis who have photocopied and the improved something. They have designed, engineered and built something from scratch and done it way batter than everyone else. Giving them all a kick in their blasé arse in the process… Bosch and Spesh have hitched their skirts up a bit but they can do better. The new 700w Avinox battery is incredible (not just another repackaged Panasonic. Complete cell and...

The amount of power you use is a choice and is totally tuneable. No one ever criticises the power of cars or motorbikes but even the shittest car can break the speed limits…. The end user is responsible and culpable for how they use/abuse it. Then we get on the hot topic of guns… whether you like them or not it’s the person that decides to pull the trigger. I appreciate this is a sore point in the US but there are fair comparisons here in how these things are regulated and governed and how much freedom of choice you...

Hot take: I agree with them. Keep the 20mph mode? 700 watts, 1200 watts, it's a non issue. Bikes with throttles can be an issue for <20mph, but DJI doesn't make one.

You missed those 5 bullet points right in the middle of the article didn’t you

Faced with criticism regarding the power output of its latest motor system, Avinox has recently put out the following statement (which is essentially the same messages they provided in our forum hotseat on e-bike power a few months ago): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In mountain biking, power is often misunderstood. For some, higher motor output raises concerns about safety, trail impact, or component wear. For Avinox, power is not about excess, but about possibility. Power can help more people ride farther, climb steeper, and tackle terrain that might otherwise be out of reach. Our approach to power is rooted in a simple principle...

I clicked that video for a laugh and a trip down memory lane, but yo Laurie is straight up destroying on that old bike and flat pedals. Super impressive and entertaining riding on any bike. RIPPING.

Here's that edit - so good!

I asked in one of their IG comments. Neko said he skipped it because he was beat up from his crash at Windrock the weekend before. AG is racing the DHSE there this week though so seems like it was just a short time injury/soreness.

No. Vans is owned by VF Corporation whose portfolio also includes The North Face and Timberland.

I just wish they boardcasted qualys, lotta drama on the spreadsheet for that session.

Knowing the hill, from wombat gap down it would be properly slick and very dangerous. The lower jumps wouldn't be possible. Once the rain has time to soak a bit it rides fine, but initially you get slick clay on rock hard clay and it's just death.

damn thats really disappointing. Safety first of course, but damn, still sucks.

Definitely wish there was more communication, but with the sheer size of some of the features I’m glad they’re being super cautious.

You spelled come back wrong 😂

Scott is now a full team of people's champs. I'm rooting for every single one of their riders to get a great result.
