I don't find it perplexing at all that a more progressive design uses more travel for the same impact. The point of having progression is that it's softer at the beginning to absorb repeated small and medium impacts, but still retains bottom-out resistance. "Softer" means it uses more suspension travel for the same impact compared to a more linear design. The RM Altitude is designed for janky riding where there are a lot of small, unpredictable impacts that sap speed. Think places like BC, the northeast US, and lots of Europe. Riding in such terrain requires suspension to quickly react...

The new Schwalbe Albert is released, the most interesting bit is that it is a radial tyre, revolutionary tech they say. But is it? Nerd ahead

https://enduro-mtb.com/en/schwalbe-albert-mtb-tire-test/ new tyre out in the wild, looks promising, i'd be curious on how tall the side knobs are, the Tacky Chan ones are taller than the Mary, and this one looks lower than both, although at the same time seems like the kind of tyre i'd like to have up front paired with a Tacky perhaps

Having run plenty of demo days I'd say it's about 30% just having a go on an expensive bike for free, 20% just telling you what is wrong with the bike, 20% "just confirming that my bike IS better", 20% "I'm thinking of replacing my 2011 bike in the next 3-5 years" , 9% having one of the bikes on a shortlist but "I'm going to buy whatever I get the best deal on" and 1% actually going on to buy something from the demo. A couple a year was more than enough to never want to do it again.

Wow, that's crazy. I thought the U.S. has been off the gold standard since Nixon in '71. Oh wait, I don't think we're supposed to get into politics here.
