Thanks for the scrolling format. I love the nerdery, but always give up on having to swipe through.

Hey I'm back (with Rocky). I might post a bit less here as I navigate current state of the bike industry; I've got a mountain of work to get through after being away from it all for 5 months. Thanks for the well wishes.

Much prefer scrolling to swiping, thanks!

FWIW I rode my SJ15 all last week around Finale/Pietra with my friend/local guide, Jordan Newth, who rides an enduro full-time, and we chatted a lot about what bike is best for the area. The trails are rough and long enough to warrant an enduro bike/bigger fork and shock some of the time. However, they generally aren't that steep, and you rarely have long sections where you can really open it up. There are plenty of tight, slow descents that make having a smaller/lighter bike appealing. Not to mention how much climbing is available if you're willing to pedaling vs...

Is anyone else kinda rubbed the wrong way by this? I have respect for Gwin’s legacy but if we’re going to cut out privateers and make racers compete for spots at world cups, I don’t think this should be allowed. There’s fewer spots available and if Gwin can “rock up” to any world cup he wants, he’s likely taking that wildcard spot from an up and coming rider who is working their ass off for it. Again, I love seeing him line up at races but if he wants to play the game I think he should play by the...

please don't respond about geo to this (or even respond at all), but just FYI, you can easily compare bikes and their geo in our product guide. here's a quick one i put together between a dreadnaught, firebird and sb165 - new bikes are being added all the time. https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/compare/64471,64876,50471?sizes%5B%5D=…

haha you are right and I am sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread so much. All I really wanted to do was defend Enduro as I agree with a lot that has been said above, it's mainly a perception issue, so I am trying to shift perception and bring some positivity into the discipline. That was the reason for the Jack/Sram comment and trying to make it less about Sram pulling Enduro funding, and also the Chris Ball comment, which did not go over well, but that one I'll accept and I will keep trying with him. I'll...

As someone who frequently lurks in this thread, I would love to see more moderation of the off-topic replies. I know threads are frequently spun off this one (like tires), but some of the frequent posters in the last month have never contributed to the topic at hand, other than to share their opinions and anecdotes. LAME!
