Gonna play devils advocate here: maybe, just maybe, and it’s a big huge probably unlikely maybe, they’re using a Chinese catalog chassis and dropping in some custom engineered internals (better clutch, nicely machined bits inside the shifter, good bearings, etc). Not saying that’s the case, but it could be...

Idk why this made me think of this, but what ever happened to that total snake oil bullsh*t vibration dampening “stickers” that showed up on WC bikes circa 2016?

Dear bike industry. Fuck right off with this shit. You managed to make a ripper like Kenny Smith look average with that mess. I hope you can sleep with yourself at night because no one else who actually likes mountain bikes will. That's right, ebikes will get you unlaid. #science

Hear me out on this one - depending on the response time of the sensor and data acquisition rate of the phone interface, this could be insanely useful for tuning the dampening characteristics of tire inserts (much like what their shock version does, not that I’ve ever used it). Probably only a matter of time until we have multiple “durometers” of inserts with various compression/rebound rates to really fine tune feel much like tokens in an air shock and clicks of rebound, at which point this tool would really shine. Until then, I can usually tell when I’m outside my...
