I think that Cornelius has completely outclassed Fox in the Upsidedown fork space. Options, quality, weight, price, reliability, performance, etc. Intend wins on every aspect. What the Podium did for me, is make me really interested in the Intend...

On the Pole customers not getting their bikes, I'd consider that a life saving loss. Riding a Pole can result in a visit to the E.R. when the catastrophic frame failure unavoidably occurs.

Love that Forbiddens latest email pays true homage to the Crab link: "Still wondering what the f**** we’re on about with all the crab stuff? A theory exists called Carcinisation wherein all non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan. A very clever Vital MTB user noticed how many mountain bikes brands had evolved towards the same form and linkage lay out. He declared that this new evolution of bike layouts be named the crab link. And many pages of crab jokes followed. It’s an obscure and very inside joke. But hey, now you’re in on it too." Trend setters we...

I have the alloy frame built up with xo transmission ext era fork 150mm and Storia coil, king hubs carbon rims, codes with 200mm rotors, dd/dh casing tires no inserts S3 and it’s a touch over 36lbs. With a tool and water bottle be about 38lbs riding. I don’t notice the weight. It’s a well balanced bike. The weight debate for trail/enduro bikes is bs, everybody wants more, gears, travel, beefier fork, tires, massive rotors and 4 piston brakes, inserts, super long dropper post, but they want it light. Lights doesn’t last or ride well on rough chunky trails.

Bike weight is so overrated. To be fair I’m not a svelte dude, so maybe if a bike was 1/3 of my body weight I’d be more fussed. Performance and durability over all else. My ability to bunny hop a bike is more hindered by a long wheelbase than say seven extra pounds. @TEAMROBOT that sidekick hub the business? I have always wanted to try an ochain or something similar. Is this a long term review piece or a “I have to have it on every bike thing?”

Finally! A proper electronic DH rear derailleur. I've been wondering when we'd be able to pay $1500 to ruin three derailleurs on the same rock in one race weekend. Can't come fast enough.

Why do Bicycle consumers continue to Support Rubbish brands/products at high cost? Is cycling a marketing Show? Are 'richer' older riders ruining it, especially with ebikes? are fanboy's of old the real problem? For pure example: Shimano Release Sram tech(Original AXS) from 2019 and the fanboys lap it up like the best thing ever... is this apple marketing at it's finest? Side note: why are Media Products(Products given to media) basically in perfectly acceptable condition? but we cant buy that.

The fork may flex during use, but if it is binding that bad unloaded it will have a negative impact on performance. I found the PUSH 9.1 to have a tight bushing fit initially, and as such it had more feedback through the hands and was difficult to get into the last 30mm of travel. After the bushing fit was corrected, performance was noticeably improved. With all the same settings on the same trails the fork now gets within 10mm of bottom and is much better on the hands. It would be very interesting to see if any of the...

People who routinely service forks have seen this from Fox for years now. Floating axle or not, Fox finds a way to make the fork bind. Not surprising it has carried on to the Podium. All the time and money spent developing an air spring with a "floating piston" only to have the chassis bind more than the air spring ever could, pretty sad.
