It wont this year. They made the mistake of designing it without a gearbox. Scrapping the whole lower half of the bike.

I am going to be completely transparent here in that I work for FSA, but I will say I worked really hard on making the 31.8 40mm Gradient alloy bar one of the most compliant on the market. and here is the proof: (chart from PB article)

One thing missing here is the fact that with the proliferation of composite know how, there are more people around able to safely repair a wider range of issues. Rather than pretending we are recycling carbon bikes I’d love to see more frames designed in ways that facilitate repair. Repair is verifiable in a way that recycling is not, it is cost effective for everyone concerned, and it is as close as you’ll get to good for the environment. It probably flows on to other design decisions to ensure repair is viable (like bearing placement, etc etc), but designing bikes...

Consider the source?

David , maybe because you are just posting pics with little to no context?

Thumbs up for the magazine. I miss print.

lol it's a pivot

I wonder how fast the Santa Cruz V10 would be with Aspen STs

Nope, still wrong.

Tim at Esker here. You are correct sir, it's not us. The only thing I can say is that every guess in this whole thread is flat out wrong.

Thank god. I was shopping for bars and stems but just didn’t feel like there were enough options. This might just be the perfect one.

Ladies and gents i give you....the NEW Pivot Firebird spotted on the north shore today

I like when things just work and I don't have to think about them or replace them so here are some things that just seem to work for where and how I ride my trail bike and some other things too. 1. Finish Line chainlube, I reckon I'll keep using it until I die or Finish Line dies. 2. XT mechanical 12-speed. It just keeps going, replace the chain now and then and it'll just work (for me). 3. One UP dropper, replaced my old V1 from 7(?) years ago this year with a V3. Not because it was broken...

When I refer to "manpower" I am talking about our in-house capacity. We manufacture/assemble our posts in Taiwan in our own facilities with our own team of now 13 people. That means every single post is assembled by ourselves, not, as it is otherwise often the case, by a "partner"/factory/assembler who is contracted to do all the sourcing, manufacturing, assembly to get the product ready in the box to sell. We draw every single part, source the suppliers, have them made, get them to us and then put everything together in our own facilities with our own machines. No post...

If you want to know the defnition of what a forecast is, I cna try to explain in my own words (that is how we work with forecasts and does not need to apply for others): For starters, we are an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for many brands. That means that companies buy our products to put them on their complete bikes. Usually, before the beginning of a new year or model year, our customers will provide us with an estimate of their complete demand for a certain period of time. This estimate is called a forecast. This forecast can...
