1/13/2025 9:25am As someone who is a huge fan of the current Float X, I don't know how you can release a 200mm DH bike with a float x as the only shock option and claim it's a serious race contender with a straight face.

1/13/2025 8:53am So I think the frames are done forever. The KBRA (local public trail association to WAO) posted a raffle recently, where a large Arrival is the top prize. They said directly in the listing that WAO spun up the tooling for the very last time for the prize bike and that the raffle bike will be the last arrival made...

For those playing along at home, here’s where we stand with the most ridiculous rumors so far… #3 - Phoebe Gale off FMD, going to Reece Wilson’s new AON team, after being prominently featured in the Orbea FMD press release. #2 - Aaron Gwin back to mentor the kids on lower budget Trek Factory after becoming a partner in Crestline bikes last year. #1 - Old man Dan Atherton returning to stomp $$$ DH podiums on a prototype belt drive after his most recent 57th at a 2018 Crankworx stop. There’s a few others close to the top 3, but...

1/11/2025 3:04pm Nothing is done yet but that's the rumour; it's been bouncing around for a few months now. I think whether production moves will be highly tariff dependent.

1/11/2025 8:38am Aight, well now EVERYBODY is talking about WAO going to I9 so it might as well get posted here. Sad for us in many ways.

Brook was basically riding for free last year. As much as I love his riding, mid pack 30+ year old riders aren't exactly hot tickets right now

1/10/2025 1:46pm Man, I don't want to derail this thread even more than I already have today (and yesterday), but does anyone else feel like the term "Certified Pre-Owned" is a bit of a misnomer? They're clearly trying lean into the automotive market, where CPO is essentially defined term wherein the OEM has inspected the car, certified it, and is continuing to...

Yes, sorry could have added more. Sounds like he has the "?" lined up, but he was working on release/reveal videos for them. Personally, I think Remy has to be one best sponsorship opportunities in the sport or maybe I live on youtube a bit too much.

1/10/2025 11:46am Gotta assume the man's going to get them their money's worth with specific announcements and content when the time is right.

1/10/2025 10:08am I've always got mine, and many of the people I'm linked up with that are doing this, have contacted manufacturers directly rather than through aliexpress/alibaba. I'm curious what platform you're on and of your experiences but I don't wanna clog this thread with something unrelated. Shoot me a PM!

it's definitely an interesting case study to compare with some of the racers situations.

1/10/2025 9:11am With Mr. Metallier you have to think it's related to the brands not having money for it anymore rather than not wanting to continue the relationship. No idea what he's like to deal with B2B behind the scenes but as far as clicks/exposure/talking up your brand directly to an audience, he's gotta be one of the best, guy's a pro...

I believe you (of course) but can barely believe any brand would pay someone to race Enduro. Zero coverage and no return for the brands. It’s not worth it to pay those guys to fly around the world and for hotels. Sorry not sorry.

1/10/2025 9:08am I'm not convinced SC is doing this - if you've held any of the SC copy frames in your hands, it's clear they aren't coming out of SC molds (and I've held more DTC chinese frames in my hands than most, as it would happen, including 3 of the SC copy frames for various reasons). The frame shapes are different...

half baked comment. obviously luck can be a major factor in downhill racing. but he also was seemingly the most prepared for that race on that day. winning doesn't happen by accident, even on a track you know well in conditions you excel in.

I wonder if the Pivot crew could swap to a belt from the cranks to the upper drive cogs and still qualify? BK, if you see this and try it, I want a signed photo from Lada.

Just a minute… would that mean, if they used your described configuration, AND won an elite WC, that Gates would give them… TWO hundred thousand dollars?!?
