4/13/2026 2:30am It's probably less about the extra forces a dual-crown puts on the frame these days, I think you're right about that. The one important issue to keep in mind though is that the stanchions will bump against the head tube junction area, and if the frame is not built to take the resulting direct force in that particular area you...

4/13/2026 12:02am Just confirmed with Propain that this is just a standard phrase that is used with all promotions...just refers to stock levels of certain components, which will dictate how long the discount runs for. Not a new bike coming.

4/10/2026 1:10pm I have, yes. A different animal. The Hugene is a trail bike through and through, not a mini-enduro in disguise. It’s just quite relaxed in the geo which makes it ask you to push it on a bit. Good fun. I don’t know anything about a potential new model. Might just be new colors, since it was introduced recently.
