12/7/2025 2:36am With the master cylinder moving the same amount of oil and the piston calipers now bigger, you get less pad rollback (i.e. they sit closer to the rotor in the default, non-activated state). That's the trade-off for that power increase over the E4/V4s. FWIW I have had two Evo sets running concurrently since 1 month before the launch, a set...

12/6/2025 5:01am This is where the bleed port sits (in a spot where the air can travel out - that's why the diaphragm has been redesigned). I've bled several of these by now via the bleed port with good results each time.

To me it looks like the bleed port is at the highest point when the lever is on the bike and the diaphragm has been redesigned to allow air bubbles to travel towards it without getting trapped. With the old diaphragm there definitely would have been a location near the bleed port which would have trapped air behind the ridge.

12/4/2025 11:16am
In over three decades of Downhill World Cup racing, only 12 riders have claimed the Overall title. Loïc Bruni, has four Overall wins (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024) and stands one title away from matching the legendary five-time records of Nico Vouilloz and Aaron Gwin. Downhill’s early years in were fast, raw, experimental, and far less polished. Yet, Bruni sees his fellow Frenchman, Vouilloz, as a pioneer who shaped both the sport and his own identity as a racer. Living up to the legacy of his idol and cementing his name in MTB history has become the ultimate goal for Super...

Having Hill, Gwin, Vermette and Goldstone on the same race is actually pretty wild. I'm old enough to remember when Hill and then Gwin were the next big thing. Hopefully the track gets some slower gnarly tech stuff.
