iceman2058 Started a new thread Forum Hot Seat: The E-MTB Power Discussion

11/25/2025 2:33am
E-MTBs have polarized opinion since they were first introduced, but although issues like trail access and erosion continue to stoke the fires of debate, these machines have become an integral - in some places even a dominant - part of the wider mountain bike landscape. Primarily driven by very high levels of user demand, the industry continues to evolve at...

iceman2058 Added a new video Dan Paley: EMOTIONAL | Giant Bicycles

11/22/2025 8:02am
After a long road back and months away from the bike following his injury at DarkFest 2024, Dan Paley set out to create something real, raw, and expressive. Shaped by his BMX roots and working closely with a crew that he trusts like family, Dan goes through a process filled with frustration, anger, and pure joy. The final product is what six weeks of building, shaping, and filming on board his Trance X resulted in—a raw portrait of Dan doing what he does best. Captured in his most vulnerable and creative state, this is Dan Paley in "Emotional", live now...

iceman2058 Added a new video ARCHIVE - Hugo Frixtalon

Hugo Frixtalon did anything but slow down in 2025 before his injury in September. Whether on his SUPREME DH V5, TEMPO, or ABSOLUT, Frix kept stacking projects. His cameraman and friend, Gaetan Clary, always right in the action, captured the moments we don’t usually get to see. He put them together in an edit that gives us a deeper look behind the scenes. Real life. Rider: Hugo Frixtalon Film & Edit: Gaetan Clary

W hen Öhlins dropped the RXF38 back in 2021, we felt that they really hit the nail on the head. We had a lot of good things to say about both the air spring and the damper, and we awarded the fork 5...

Did the back of your neck or upper back get sweaty when wearing the vest? I have that issue with some bike vests and am curious if this one does better in that regard.

I've been asking for something like this for a long time and was happy to see it hit the stores earlier this year. In warm, rainy North Vancouver this is a staple for almost every ride if you want to stay dry from rain and sweat.

Not in particular, no. I do sweat quite a bit in general, so I’m used to it I guess, but I wouldn’t say it’s particularly noticeable with this one. It does have that soft patch around the neck which might feel a bit clammy if you’re sensitive, but there’s also a very substantial flap on the upper back which provides good airflow.
