1500 watts is fully 2.0 horsepower. That’s kid’s dirt bike territory!

The claw posted a clear photo of his new bike. Looks like a mid-pivot version of the previous gen Altitude.

Newmad next week.

I’m digging the Forekaster/Ikon combo a lot. I prefer the Ikon to the Rekon Race or regular Rekon for that matter. Aspen also tops the RR for me as the RR pushes in anything but the hardest, buffest terrain.

Yes, it is an Edge running at 160mm.

Theo, Brendog and Jack Moir are on the dh track. Looks like parts are melting quickly.

I'm right there with ya on the Nashville chicken. My guilty pleasure. I've been a long time Forekaster + Rekon lover but this year I decided to switch it up a bit and going a similar route. Magnotal soft front and Magnotal grip rear. First impressions have been really positive. They roll like a rekon race and feel grippier than a Forekaster. Plus they come in tanwall which is nice. Looking forward to the mountains thawing so I can really give them a go on proper terrain.

No, definitely not just tuning via the base valve. But it is modified from stock for all the options being tested. The stock base valve setup on the Bomber CR/Fox Van is quite stiff and uses belleville washers. All three tuning options (Avalanche Racing, Fluid Focus, and Shockcraft) remove the belleville washers and convert the base valve to a more traditional shim stack. All three use different base valve tunes, and Avalanche uses a different needle for the bleed (LSC clicker) as well. Fluid Focus and Shockcraft both use a different main piston, while Avalanche uses the stock main piston...

Thank you! Do you mean cooking BBQ or eating? Because we've heard the "Nashville 20" - as in you gain 20 pounds when you first move here - is a thing. You can't throw a rock here without hitting a BBQ, hot chicken, burger, or taco place. On the topic of tires... the trails here skew more towards XC with some flow bits thrown in. I had Dissectors on my Stumpjumper front and rear, but even that tread is a bit too much for around here. Swapped out to an Ikon rear and Forekaster front yesterday, which was an improvement...

I actually left Maxxis in February 🥲 so I'm not tied into the day-to-day anymore. I would expect them fairly soon though as they were ordered months ago.
