That might be interesting at least. Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I loved the OG LG1 for going down, I found it held off camber lines like nothing else I've ridden before or since, especially in the wet. That being said it rolled like it had wet glue on it if you weren't at sendy speeds and climbed like a tractor with a blown head gasket.

Looks like a trail version of the new supreme linkage platform to me

It would be nice to not have to mess with tokens which can effect CR’s and instead rely on an HBO system. Wouldn’t that get us closer to a linear rate spring/coil-like mid stroke support? EXT just teased another clip of the ARIA air shock. I think this will be the direction I head

So it was a blowout, and not a rumor of a blowout? Take it elsewhere please.

What differences in ride quality were most apparent when “MX’ing” the Hightower from 29 to 27.5? I have been toying with the idea of taking the stock 52.5mm stroke to 55mm so I can get 160 in the back paired with a 170mm fork. Ultimate park bike for where I live. I absolutely love love my Hightower for how balanced and easy it is to get along with.

How did you get your cranks looking so sleek?!? I’d Like to try that. Also, do you really notice A difference in shifting with “MaxSpeed” cable pulley?? Beautiful bike! Gonna need a whole box of tissues for this one 😉

Yeah, the lower thread count per inch means that the individual threads are thicker and thus more puncture resistant. That means they're less supple than the 120tpi standard EXO tires, but that also means they're more stable. All about those tradeoffs.

There is no push by the industry. They literally can’t keep up with demand regardless how the core cycling fanboys feel about them. I get the short term access, maintenance, and etiquette issues but unless the bike companies order the available motors and build frames around them somebody else will do a shittier job and still sell them for the insane prices people are willing to pay for electric bikes in the current market. Cats out of the bag and it will never go back. I will happily stereotype the average emtb guy as an old out of shape white...

That's quite 'well known', we've discussed it here before - look at the Flight Attendant models, the Zeb, Lyrik and Pike all have updated lowers (Zeb gets the vents, the other two are all new), plus we've seen Charger 3 spy shots from the Blackbox riders on the WC DH a while ago.

I've sat here, with crinkled brow, trying to figure out why you would be disheartened by someone taking a publicly shared image and painstakingly converting it into this image.
