Jokes aside, I have had no problems with my Mavens, and would be really happy to see a Shimano equivalent for those that prefer Shimano.

2/18/2026 6:37am I wonder what's the mechanical power limit of the motor? Have they tested it to failure? I do enjoy an exploding car engine video.

1/26/2026 12:00pm With this LinearXL talk, I reviewed the patents SRAM has recently filed for their suspension forks, and this is a roundup of what we'll see roll out within the next few months. 1.

But without crazy end stroke progression on 38mm stanchion forks. 2.
