Wasn't the Super-Bruni thing a joke a fan came up with a few years ago? I know Loic has said he leans into it for world champs weekend to try to get into an unbeatable headspace. Virtually every interview I have seen of him makes him seem like a good dude. Anyway, before talking up Jackson 4x gold titles etc, I'm seriously wondering if the Alran brothers arn't going to lock down every race next year. All the Commencal elites have been saying they can't believe the speed and lines their juniors are pulling off, and apparently they only get...

Jackson has just got an undeniable talent for riding mountain bikes and making it look amazing. There’s something special going on there for sure. …So why am I finding him so hard to root for this season? Genuine question. Am I the only one?

any and all relationship drama and discussions can be started in a new thread in the OFF THE BIKE forum area, NOT The Hub - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/VitalMTB/Off-the-Bike,3 - any topics like that started in The Hub will be nuked. any more relationship drama and discussion in this thread will be deleted.

Never said it wasn’t valid. Said take it to a different thread at this point. Just like CS length talk in tech rumors.

I don’t think I should have said that.

While none of are likely to buy the $20k bike, it's got us all talking about it... Mission accomplished...

I’m all for that Sworks. Mega price, but they’ll all sell and your LBS will do well put of it if they manage to get one. There’s a ton of sweet parts and that paint job plus the Sworks (M-Sport/AMG) badge and a few more torques from the drive unit. Go take a look at the Pivot Shuttle LT($14499) if you want to see an actual rip off. Lots of own brand parts and low spec components (e.g. GX pod rather than XO/Ultimate). We priced it up at work and the parts even at retail only come to £8k, which...

I don’t understand this sentiment. Spec still makes a bike at a price point for you, now they add a bike that means they will actually make money and can continue making the bike you want. But then they are lame for that. Imagine driving a Ford Focus and then you start shitting on ford because they build the GT40? Or maybe this would be more equivalent to driving an f150 XL then you whine because they build an F150 Lariat

If I took Suspension design advice from this thread, Id get Fired. There's Far to much to consider When discussing the length of a swing arm. From leverage and physical length to Pivot placements(and additional links such as Giant/DW or flipped horst) and how they relate to the Bottom bracket AND then you have to take into account Static and dynamic Measurements.(and lets not even get into How chainring size effects Anti squat...) The one bike That makes an excellent example of Geo is the Gen 6 slash.(when talking rear ends). The 434(L) static Rear centre looks short but it...

there was a fair amount buzz at crankworx this year that there won't be another crankworx, and that red bull pulled out of joyride for 2026. put the WC there instead? hoping it's not true.

team rumors.
