It doesn't seem that low. New Spur has 39mm drop in high and 47 in low. Epic 8 evo also has it around 40 in low. Maybe they also spec 165mm cranks because they are focused on the downhill vs just being a quick climbing xc bike. At least for this bike, probably want to keep the bike light, so no adjustable chainstay.

Oh man oh man I want to see the weight on that reya. 450mm CS on a truly light bike would be insanely advantageous for tech climbing and huge backcountry missions. That said, quite bummed they chose to make the BB so low. Really should not be a thing on a bike in this class meant to shine on climbs. Gonna be offsetting some of the benefit of the long chain stays on tech climbs. Sad.

Nice gesture by WBD, but not sure it'll do any actual good. I personally think the both genders have pretty tight racing so both are very much worth watching, and the ordering of them doesn't factor into my decision of watching either.

I’m being sarcastic because most the women in my family would find a documentary featuring athletes discussing “menstruation and body image” more insulting than inspiring. It’s a sarcastic comment that didn’t come across well at all in text. I get for as many women in the “don’t define me by my gender” camp there are plenty in the celebrate my gender and body camp. And again I’m pretty hopeful they’ll actually do a good job with it and it will not be patronizing. i apologize my comment came across so poorly.

It's an experiment worth trying.. Putting the women last doesn't guarantee that they will be the main focus. Especially if the men have a really exciting battle. I enjoy watching the women, there's been some good battles there as of late. The only drawback I see is a lack of depth in the field..

From what I have heard, Slayer is turning into an 200mm park bike with a silhouette like the current altitude. Wish they would have revived the Flatline namesake for it.

I found the switch to VPP a bit strange for Rocky. No VPP legacy, hard to do VPP ebikes, no other bikes in the catalog with it. Race bikes are typically meant to showcase the viability of a given technology, and then sell that technology via more practical models like trail bikes (ebikes i guess now) that use it.

Some brands do. I haven't had that experience yet. It's relevant to mention that most brands want their product's review published as soon as possible to coincide with the launch of the product, ideally on the same day. If it needs to be a long-term test, then the preference would be to have that long-term review published as early as possible, to maximize interest in the product during it's retail lifetime (aka before the next update, which will necessitate another round of reviews). So the review cycle of a product typically happens all at once, with most media companies doing...

In Jesses last YouTube video he rides what looks like the grey prototype (RMU?) that was posted before. https://youtu.be/RiybO3RfIb0?si=l9c1Drv1LstVJn-Y&t=281

That isn’t Grice’s bike. He’s borrowing one of last year’s bikes from a buddy until the fresh produce is ripe. (Source: that’s what he told me on the Shuttle )

Could be as simple as the new upper links haven't been acquired yet from Taiwan?

Here is the clip Definitely looks like they’re gonna make a go of it.

Slapping a Roach logo on some sweatshirts isn't really exciting. They should have made some actual riding shorts and the legendary vest. They would've sold out quickly.
