"1000 different setup configurations" actually seems like it might be a bit excessive?

4/11/2026 2:48pm Let's see how it shakes out in Moab. Don't forget, Alta Utah was one of the first ski areas in the country to allow snowboarding.

I think of it like reverse harm reduction. Making an ep8 go 20mph on a climb took a LOT of effort (and time). That alone eliminates the risk of a high speed head on collision for the vast majority of e-bikers. If every cyclist can go 20mph in a single pedal stroke the probability of a serious collision starts to look pretty grim

I agree. To much power and weight. I’d take 1/2 the power and 1/2 the weight, in a reliable smooth and quiet package. With a range extender option.

These are big step back for the industry. Super lame. Will predictably lead to problems and less trail access. Remember, most trail access is grace, and not a right.

@Blake_Motley did a first ride of the new Pivot Shuttle AMP'd. I had him toss together some additional impressions of the new motor: I had the opportunity to ride the new Avinox drive system on board the Pivot Shuttle AMP’d that launched today. My limited time was primarily focused on sussing out that bike’s handling, but it also gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with the M2S. From the first pedal stroke I was met with an overwhelming level of refinement. This system is capable of producing a hilarious amount of torque on a dime and can do so...

4/11/2026 6:41am I think they're calling it Class 4. At least that's what the sticker on Amflow bikes equipped with this company's old motor says. It's hard not to think motors like this are gonna blow the whole deal.

zero experience with anything other than Maxxis. Used to be a DHR2 front and rear guy. Then was a LONG time user of Assegai/DHR2 combo. Recently swapped to HR3. I was anxious to try something different than my loved and seasoned set up. Well, I am a BIG fan! Definitely surpassed my expectation in the all rounded category. Amazing in the loose. Better than expected through rock/hard pack, etc. I will be sticking with HR3 for now. Note- I am also in CO and having ridden these tires anywhere from SW CO to Left Hand up near you. Good mix...

2/3/2026 4:14pm Where are you seeing Radial tires for $60? Is shipping from Germany a legit option these days?

I think your Fork is fancier than Performance Elite, with the Kashima coating and what-not. I’d dare to even call it “Factory” spec.

Pretty sure there was an XT level Lefty front hub 10-15 years ago that also employed cartridge bearing(s?)

Appreciate the effort on this great review, but unfortunately, it's somewhat pointless since it's not on the Radial casing. They're releasing the TC Radial pretty soon, and very few people are buying 'normal' Schwalbe tires anymore(especially not people reading tire reviews). Once the Radial TCs drop, very few regulars will be sold. ... Based on other reviews (like Pinkbike Mike's Magic Mary comments) many people were not fans of Schwalbe tires before Radial, but once they rode Radial versions, their opinions changed.

100% they are trying to figure out pricing. They didn't expect this much demand and are now reconsidering sale pricing.

Tariffs are on the landed cost I believe. Not retail price.

I originally posted a longer comment here but deleted it it read too much like a blog post, and I figured most folks wouldn't be into it. Still, I stand by the analysis, so if anyone’s curious (or wants to subject themselves to it), you can read it here: https://jeffbrines.com/2025/04/17/why-did-revel-maybe-go-bankrupt/ For context: $8M at 8% interest is $640K annually. That’s a serious cost (even if its a "spike" in the debt due to inventory or other reasons)—especially if you're carrying ~30 employees spread across continents. Even assuming $2K in gross profit per bike (which they likely weren’t making), you’d need...

My warranty experience was not to recent, but it was great. It was during the pandemic 2021. I had a SC 2018 Nomad that had a small crack in the inside of the rear triangle that i found when i was cleaning it. no idea how it happened. I think it was a rock strike, anyhow SC asked for proof of purchased and a lot of pictures. After a couple of days they approved warranty, because they no longer had any 2017 V4 Nomads rear Triangles; they offer a 2022 V5 Nomad which I was very happy to get. Over...
