I'm on XT 11 speed and not looking to change until they stop selling it. I'm not a fan of Sram derailleurs, the GX groupo or AXS in general but I'm having a hard time understanding how the derailleur is bucking your feet off?

Seems like we're at the point where DH bikes (frame companies) might need to come up with their own under-belly protection... more like a dirt bike or something where you've got a symmetric skid pan under the bb/chain area. Run the heavy skidpan setup if you need it (WC DH). Otherwise keep the ISCG05 if you want lighter more minimal protection. Longer/lower/slacker all hurt ground clearance and breakover angle... It's asking a lot of 3x M4 bolts to keep the driveline protected at 30mph.

Hey Vital, can you guys get an economist to explain supply, demand and popularity to half of the numb skull mountain bikers that bitch about price every time a Santa Cruz comes out? Make it a front page article. Would be amazing. I hate, with a passion, all the complaining about prices. No one is forcing you to buy any product. If you don’t want to buy something don’t. Do you think Ferrari gives a crap that only 1/100 of 1% of the world can afford one of their cars? No they don’t. That being said their is still a...

Just to chime in here, I recently returned from a press camp in Finale Ligure, where a large group of journalists spent two days riding some pretty rough and rocky trails. When I saw "EXO+" on the tires as we got acquainted with the bikes, I thought "oh great, we'll be fixing punctures for two days" - BUT, these new casings really do deliver. We were all pretty surprised at just how few, if any, punctures we had as a group. And it wasn't for lack of trying

Glad to hear the Rock Shox manuals are good and being used. There's a big team that puts a lot of effort into them.

Huge thanks to that team, I appreciate them. My Jr. Techs however, hate me for using them lol. Every shock or fork they touch, they need to have a tablet with the appropriate manual open and take it step by step so they don't miss a thing. To easy to get comfortable doing them and miss something small on a slight different shock when you're doing them regularly. On the customer side it's a huge advantage to say "Yes, I can have this shock done for you in 2 hours and save your road trip you've been planning for 6...

Glad you dig Jonny's work. This is his 4th (5th?) review for us and we have plenty more in the hopper. Don Burl is quite the asset! We're sure your dig isn't at any testing going on at Vital.

I thought Pierron's head tube angle looked steep, and by my Photoshop measurements (after leveling the wheels), it looks like it's 64.0 vs 62.2 on Coulanges' bike (which looked like the slackest of the bunch). I don't know if that's relevant or not for any of you, but I felt like checking it out haha!
