What a great weekend. Dual Slalom drew the short straw weather wise, but there were some tight battles. Whip-off was a great time. It was awesome getting to watch the world cup riders with all the local/regional riders. It's wild how fast they are in person. It's a weekend that makes me almost want to race some dh. but, then again, it's also a great weekend to have fun, ride bikes and watch some great racing.

Typically it’s because the team manager who registered them got lazy and just put where the team is located, hence why kolb on atherton has a British flag and Matt walker (kiwi) on pivot has a British flag as well

Man what the heck was Lachy seeing on that track. We need a gopro from the man because he was riding in the matrix. Just on his own pace. Can't wait to see replay if we can get most of that run in.

Tyler Waite’s got the stars and bars…

Bosch is dropping their embargo on the new motor on Monday. Get ready for a flood of new ebike launches for product you cannot buy for another 6 months.

If true it's wild that the Sight VLT will have gone through FIVE different generations in the same time the YT Decoy's mould has not changed at all. (which is a testament to the fact YT got it right on the first try) My 2020/gen 2 Sight VLT was a total POS. Broken chainstays, broken rear axle head, wire harness issues, horrible frame protection and paint, battery weight too high on downtube, too long chainstays (458 and they made them longer the next gen!). Hope they get it right because I really like Norco and they were great to deal...

"We know our e-bike customers don't care or even know what VPP is so here's a bike that says SANTA CRUZ on it." (Am I too cynical?)

Everyone -"SC are just so boring and generic these days" Santa Cruz-"Hold my protein meal replacement shake"

I saw these forks on a newly released Honda Electric trials motorcycle. Showa 39mm stanchions, 190mm travel. Could we see them available for downhill bikes one day?

I love to complain and I'm a robot.

Stop this now. You are using logic and facts to explain pricing. They won’t like it. But seriously this - look at that stumpy - s-works and full top end Fox - that is always going to equal big bucks. But guess what - Specialized aren’t forcing you to buy it - there are cheaper versions of the Stumpjumer you can buy…. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ve come to the conclusion that humans just like to complain regardless of facts.

Dang that bike looks rad. I love the versatility of the three pivot locations if it really is as easy as just swapping a bolt trailside. Having the option to go from say 135-160mm vs 165-190mm of travel would be neat, too. I'll have to bug Chris to see about getting a test bike in the coming months...

anyone shared this yet? not exactly a secret, but this is the most official thing i've seen outside of his IG https://www.bikemag.com/news/chris-canfield-launches-vampire-bikes

Weren't they back into MTB twice already? All I rem mber is the CEO spitting his dummy out over how nobody in MTB appreciates them and that they're never coming back. And they've come back twice since. However, those parts look straight out of 2004, absolutely no thanks. If they're not gonna make themselves a viable option by actually selling their things, then it's all a moot point anyway.

I know this site is more big bike centered but Corey Wallace (Kona endurance racer...) spotted on a proto g3 Hei-Hei. Proof that Kona is still alive!

Most E13 hubs disengage the pawls...................eventually.
