Gwin as ambassador, legend? Lay of the kool-aid buddy, except winning he's done slim to none for the sport itself.

Review by AJ Barlas // Product Photos by AJ Barlas // Action Photos by Steve Li Specialized first launched the 2FO (Foot Out, Flat Out) range of shoes in mid 2014, and the original skate-styled clipless model has since made its way onto many a rider's foot from World Cup downhillers to the regular Joey. Specialized weren’t prepared to stop there, though, and less than twelve months later they released the 2FO Cliplite - a shoe that looks to be the child of the popular 2FO and a pair of XC slippers, blending casual aesthetics with a stiff sole.

Think about the other variable, seat height. It's always funny sitting at the bottom of Whistler bike park and hearing the rear tires buzz saddles. Oh and I have about 3mm clearance between seat stay bridge and seat tube on one of my bikes.

If Enduro racing didn't exist, and someone thought of it now, it could just as easily be called AM Racing or some other crap. It's a race format. XC - Hardtails and sub 120mm FS. Trail - 120-140mm AM - 140-160mm DH - 180-220mm Two caveats. Hardtails can run rigid to moron travel but anything beyond 120mm is for guys...

I'm sure Curtis helps out with R&D and is great on product launches. Would you want a guy on staff who can do all that and still be top 25 in the world?

JCL Added a reply to slack, long-travel, pedal-able 29ers?

What about 650b bikes like the Reign and Strive that have longer wheelbases than the E29? Personally I like long travel 29" but if we're talking ultimate speed it won't be long before someone makes some proper 650b+ tires and it'll be game over for 650b and 29".

by Evan Turpen The Giant Glory Advanced 27.5 is Giant’s first foray into the carbon downhill bike market. Although they were a few years late to the carbon downhill bike game, in doing so they avoided critical wheel size and geometry changes before locking things in with expensive carbon molds. Retailing for $8,520, the Glory Advanced 27.5 0 (tested here) is their top spec’d version and is nearly identical to the bike raced by the Giant Factory DH Team. The same bike that in its debut season more than proved its capabilities under factory rider Marcelo Gutierrez who managed multiple...

I gotta say it - I expect much better beer chugging abilities this year. Beer spilling down your face does not count. #collegerules (ha)
