I will probably get flamed for this, and will offer the caveat that I have only been skimming this page, but I feel like these bikes are great propositions and are in my eyes cool bikes because they’re made to be cheap and practical workhorses for younger demographics that don’t have as much disposable income and want a playful park bike that they can maintain themselves. Maybe I’m just haven’t been following the thread well enough, but I don’t see why the ebike bit is necessary to explain the appeal. Not everyone can afford bougie boutique racing machines, or ebikes...

In my experience Schwalbe wears better than Maxxis. But I live in the PNW where the trails aren't particularly hard on tires. My soft TC radial on the front isn't showing excessive wear.

Tell that to Amaury

I fail to see the point of the Dirty Dan when Schwalbe already has the Shredda Front and Shredda Rear. Those are so much better than the Dirty Dan!

nukeproof DH bike from pit bits that will be fully live soon

Jesus, sorry I asked about a coil shock on the new Tallboy.

Sticky rubber combined with open tread pattern throws stuff at you and that T9 rubber collects all the rocks and pine cones it can find. So a harder compound and lower knobs is the solution.

From what Evil have said (Jason Moeschler) it’s not a DH dedicated bike - there just isn’t the market for them, it’ll be the new Wreckoning but it’s not going to be out anytime soon… so he says.. he’s on instagram as evil.bikes.smooth.operator and answers questions every Friday in his stories. This bike was in it this week.

Sitting on a coffin... Sure lines up with something along the lines of "Undead".
