Compared to how Rock Shox does their forks and what's needed to service them, the foot nut tool price is absurd. Tooling is THE reason for me to not consider Fox products at all.

So then call it a Medium? As for Superboost, it's not the standard itself, it's that it's a different "standard". We have multiple MTBs in our household and they're all Boost which makes it easy to swap wheels for different uses and/or repairs. If we add a Superboost bike to the mix that no longer works and the performance boost (see what I did there?) at least for me, is negligible.

At 5’9” I used to ride a large (SC nomad when it had a 460 reach). Now riding a medium Giant Reign and find 450ish has been good for me. Seems like some people love huge bikes and some people love smaller bikes. Both have pros and cons, just what you prefer really. I personally enjoy the smaller bike feel as it seems more interesting to me than riding in a large wheelbase, but to each their own!

It will be interesting to see how being owned by Pon affects One Up.

The look of the 2018-2023 Ransom Generation has always been the favorite for me. It's simple, and in review and test riding just works. If that's the new frame design I'd be quite sad because that is real ugly looking.

2024 will certainly be an interesting year. Old riders will be missed and new ones will be celebrated. I wonder if the UCI will recognise the trend and take countermeasures so that the sport is not put at risk due to inconsistency. The semis should definitely be cancelled. They bring no added value and the risk of injury is simply far too great. But above all, there is strong competition coming with IXS and some of the bodywork series. I would laugh my head off if a bike manufacturer took matters into their own hands and launched a counter product...

Did Ancillotti make a mistake in their website? It's stated the frame has 170mm of rear travel by using a 210x55mm shock, which is not good!

I hope that Dak to Mondraker rumor isn’t true. That team seems to kill careers. Would love to see him on a more established team and bike.
