It can definitely work. I happen to own a full power, Bosch CX Race in a long travel, 190/200 travel ebike that is under 48lbs. Add in a gearbox, it shouldn’t add more than a pound or 2 at most. More importantly, it moves all of the unsprung weight, (derailleur and cassette) from the rear wheel to a low and centered position in the crank/bb area, for much better handling and suspension performance, not to mention the gearbox and belt drive being virtually maintenance free. So the slight extra weight increase is definitely worth it.

This is a step backwards. They should’ve made a full power, long travel, up and downhill beast as light as possible. Preferably with a gearbox motor and belt drive with the option for a big or small battery.

Will Fox stop saying it's just a prototype now? Excellent choice going with a 20mm axle for the single crown version. Does this mean the inverted 40 will get another shot?

Let me clarify all that here. First up, this is designed for frames with internal headset bearings (where the bearing seats are actually part of the frame, i.e. there are no headset cups). You can't run regular anglesets on such frames, which is why this part was concocted in the first place. What this thing actually does is it moves the bearings outside of the frame, which in fact adds to the stack height on both sides of the headtube. You don't need new headset bearings as you simply drop the ones that were previously sitting in the frame into...

More bikes. I will keep buying these bikes and for those who don’t like the look of these thanks because it leaves more bikes for me to buy. I have the white Fasta Rossa and I hope I am lucky enough to own the titanium Vamborghini, bro it says Vamborghini that’s the sickest name for s mountain bike and titanium is going to feel so comfortable and it’s CBF.

I know he's an icon of the sport, but he has only been in one WC final since 2023, and that was at the first race in 2023. He's barely made it into the top 50 in semis most races. He's an icon, but sports progress.

Still needs more travel. Full power e-bikes should be at least 180/180, but preferably 200/200. And it should be available as a frameset.

He is also reportedly taller now and had to raise his bars according to Sven Martin. Asa has also stated in several interviews that his goal with training this winter is to "get big".
