I think Specialized patented vowels and are trying to sue anyone using them (see Roubaix as a previous example).

I cannot express how badly I do not want electronic suspension to be a thing.

that's up to pivot to start their models at 6k and you don't have to like that. the $6k bikes from gt and pivot are of similar value, however, even though a cheaper option is not offered by pivot. SLX performs fantastically. fox performance and PE suspension is solid, too. the pivot seems to have nicer wheels than the GT. pivots are full carbon frames, gt has alloy rear ends (which helps offset some of the the tax of pivot's X01 price at $700 more, which i agree, is tough to swallow). it all evens out IMO which is why...

The rear triangle is another thing I’d be surprised to see complaints about, I bet the majority would prefer aluminum with 148 over carbon 157.

Pivot is pricing out a large portion of the market by not being able to provide a sub $6k complete option. The “Race” kit from pivot at $6k comes with a mostly SLX drivetrain, SLX brakes and Performance level suspension. other complete bikes with a build level like this are $1k-$2k cheaper. The force pro comes with mostly GX drive train, top level brakes, and RS ultimate suspension but a goofy dropper. Opinions about sram vs shimano aside, I don’t think that’s “extremely” comparable. Maybe “slightly” comparable. To compare component brand specific completes, the firebird “race X01” is $700 more...

USA cycling screwed Sue Haywood out of the Olympics a decade or so ago. She jumped through all of their hoops and should have gone but they picked someone else (Mary Mcconnally?). Sue sued USAC and won (undisclosed settlement). Remember those awesome "NORBA hates you " t-shirts?! USA cycling hates everyone, especially downhillers but mtb in general, just like the UCI. Old out of touch men flexing their egos and hurting hard working athletes.

Hey guys, bummer to see all the hate from a few of you but I guess that’s passionate fans in sporting. Here’s the reality. From my understanding and recent reading of the rules, There is not a rule that says you must petition. A petition just assures that you are considered. The rules basically say that USA cycling will pick, at their discretion, everyone who is not an automatic selection (national champ or top 3 in previous world champs). After that the rules just say that they will basically pick whoever is in the top 50 of the current WC...
