6/19/2018 8:36pm Yes you’re probably right. I like their line up. Wouldn’t mind a tourque. Sender 27.5 doesn’t have the cleanest lines though. Link looks unfinished compared to others and tubes could use more shape especially the seat and chainstays. Just comparing to YT, specialized, Santa Cruz. Sender does seem to work well though

Yes. They're great for getting new people into the sport....more people is better lobbying power against hikers and equestrians right? They're also great for getting pretty deep quickly so you can dig your ass off for an afternoon. They're also great for towing little kids to the top of the trail so they can cruise down. They're also great for less fit people to mix in and enjoy a group ride They're also great for finding new trails

Did I say they do better downhill than a regular bike? They don't but good ones are pretty close these days. Look up Marshal Mullen. You're right though. Climbing is fun especially when you're fit. Still not a reason to hate on e-bikes. All I'm saying is look at the positives and not only the negatives and also realize that other people are not in YOUR specific situation.....fitness level, disability, age, access to lifts/ shuttles etc etc etc Just for the record. The bike in my shed that sees the majority of my rides is a hardtail. Second to that...

Going off the modern definition of a "motorbike" they are not the same thing. There is no throttle for one thing. They don't roost, they don't make noise, there is no internal combustion engine, they only "assist" WHEN you pedal, they cut off at under 20mph etc, etc, etc To include it in the same breath as say a CRF 450 R is plain ignorant or intentionally misleading for the sake of being against them. Having spent a good amount of my life on a dirt bike and now enough time on an e-bike to have a solid opinion I...

No offense but if you cant tell the difference between an e-bike and a motorcycle it's you who's the idiot.

6/18/2018 3:15pm Maybe canyon is after the throwback market. That proto looks like it uses the same construction methods/design as Palmers fsr dh bike circa mid 90’s. Canyon seems to have their numbers and kinematic dialed and all their racers are doing well on them but those are some ugly lines and cobby industrial looking constructions. Detail and smooth lines are seriously...

6/16/2018 12:46am Can never have enough suspension , especially if ya run a ground. Could’ve used our fancy toys then. I may single handedly been responsible for the introduction of quails . Luca should thank me now. A nomad should suffice

It looks like a video of a skilled rider riding a really heavy bike. Reminds of that old Mr. Heavyfoot skit from Kids in the Hall.

6/14/2018 8:17pm The sport was healthy then. It was F1 level almost more than today. You had to have custom stuff then, sport was advancing so fast .That was the first of 6 pages(pre qualification days). 188 starters. Was digging thru my paperwork last week to redo my work resume and just happened to find that and it being the very first...

6/14/2018 1:51pm The Judy dho was released in 96 and I seem to remember that being 9mm quick release. I think whyte and hannebrink and a couple other small companies had triple clamps and thru axles out before that. Not very good forks for dependability and they needed constant cleaning and lining to keep them working well. I first saw the 6”...

Been looking on the Commencal site for the last year. Decent prices too. SX would get a lot done on dh trails and could still climb it.Recently went looking around for an old balfa on the cheap. Reach is sooo short on the old bikes though

The HSP bikes look to be working amazing. I’ve only seen the rear end skip out a couple times. Be nice to see a side by side test with the Norco to compare numbers and pivot placement and the suspension compression vids

What a race! Good coverage by both vital ,as always , and redbull. Camera angles were on it. A mashup of Gwin up top, Blenkis motorway and Amaury everywhere else would be the dream run
