There’s also the incredibly likely chance this random Youtuber is going out of his way to find anything remotely negative about a product that has generally favorable reviews solely to generate clicks.

Seems like he's running into the same issue encountered in the Vital review, but didn't take the time to troubleshoot. The Mavens do have an extra step now, which requires a few cycles of the pistons to get things primed and set into place. The initial setup requires two to three cycles of the pistons through their full range of motion to help the two-step seals settle into place and center. I made the genius decision of ignoring this step on my initial setup and can confirm it is necessary. After referring to the troubleshooting portion of the owner's manual...

I sporadically think about buying an e bike, then as I delve a bit deeper I start reading all the stories about motor replacements and other issues. The amount of used e bikes where the seller says it's got a brand new motor or motor and battery are really off putting, the failure rate is unacceptably high IMO. Manufacturers only offering a two year warranty on motors and batteries is also scary to me. No way I'm spending £5k+ on something that's potentially worth jack shit in 3 years.

Add another option robot "I'll update when the tech advances enough it becomes impossible to resist" ie weight, range, price. My last eeb I had for 2.5 years, I think I'll do the same with this one. The tech is not evolving at a rate for me to want to upgrade. When 180mm travel full power bikes that have burly gear are 22kg I'll upgrade.

The Enduro came out in 2019 and is still a cracking good bike.

It might be out of production but it’s still for sale all over the internet, at full retail price, including on DVO’s own website, so there’s that.

If you’re wanting to use frame building to get a job in the bike industry- document the process a little bit. Start with a problem, timeline, budget etc that you want to solve- Ie design an enduro bike with features x, y and z, done in 1 year costing $1000 or less. Something unique that is not available already always helps. You want to not only show a company your capable of designing and building a frame but also planning ahead, some project management skill etc. I did similar 15 years ago and it definitely helps get you noticed. Also...

First rule of frame design, ignore marketing crap. Compare a whole bunch of different designs in Linkage and realize that everyone is slowly converging on the same thing. The window of preferred anti-squat and leverage ratios is narrowing in on roughly 100% anti-squat at sag and a LR of 20-25% linear progression starting around 2.8 to 3.0. Anti-rise seems to still be down to designer tastes or a compromise of the chosen linkage platform / shock location. The more time you spend in Linkage the more you realize everything has already been done...and thus why the window of optimized designs...

As a CFO (outside of the bike industry), and a lifelong mountain biker, I've been following the current boom/bust cycle in the bike industry. I have very reliable sources at GG and banker friends who lend to multiple bike companies or their parent companies. @whitesq comments on GG are basically correct, they sold a majority equity position to a private individual investor. Initially they believed that investor had a shared vision for the company which included developing high end bikes and ebikes, in addition to growing their in house domestic revved carbon manufacturing as a contract manufacturer to other bike...

To say that he did the "same run" as in 2013 is not only disingenuous but factually incorrect. The 2013 run was all about that ONE big move, the rest of the course was just him cruising. Today's run had a steep and exposed drop up top, a backflip one-foot can also up top (where in 2013 he just rolled over the same feature, basically), a very big step-down to a very difficult step-up (those did not exist in 2013), a dirt take off from further back than the Oakley sender (made from wood) was in 2013, and then he...
