He’s got the chain, an Ochain, MRP chain guide. All with fresh bolts ready to go for them. It’s not unheard of to go heavy on the trolling, but he’d have to go buy some of that stuff just to post this photo. I’m going to say my Zerode guess might be wrong and maybe he’s on Ari.

Team rumours rule 16.2E: An athlete using a bike during an offseason training ride shall not be strong indicator of sponsorship changes. If the bike is not from the category of the athlete's chosen discipline or if the athlete is travelling, it will not constitute a rumour. Team rumours rule 24.6B: The liking and following between brands on social media does not constitute a rumour.

Mondraker?

Polygon, or Ari?

I do have an actual team rumor for a change: Mona Mitterwallner who reportedly signed to a women's road raceteam has stated in an interview in an austrian bike mag that she will not only keep racing xc wc (that has been revealed already) but actually is going to race for a dedicated mtb team as well. I find this really interesting as I can't remember that any biking athlete rode for 2 teams at the same time competitively. She also made bold claims regarding the tour the femes and Vuelta I think, so she really means business. I'm more...

Two hard pills to swallow. Gwin really played all the wrong hands as it seems. I hope he leave whatever he's been up to and find a spot where he can finish on his own terms. He's one of the true greats and he deserves so much more. Ratboy. It's over before it even started.

Marin is no stranger to the e-MTB market and just a few short years ago in 2021, their affordable, simple, fun Alpine Trail E2 was our favorite e-sled of the year. Not one to upset the apple cart, Marin continues their tradition of making bikes that won't break the bank while remaining enjoyable on the trail with the release of the Rift Zone EL line. The "Rifty" EL series use the lauded Bosch SX drive system with a 400wh CompactTube battery and is offered in three different builds. Prices are $6,999, $5,999 or $4,799, and when Marin reached out about...

Any new rumor's on Greg Williamson? seen hes back with Whiteley but no team yet? could just throw some names out for the hell of it like Atherton or Pivot . 300 points isn't shifting those teams up enough

A bit of shameless promotion, but hopefully it's relevant. I just put out a podcast episode where me and Alan Milway chat through all the 2025 team moves (confirmed and rumoured). Hopefully it's an interesting watch/listen. https://youtu.be/Mu0JAhGceB8 or https://www.downtimepodcast.com/team-moves-2025/ Clearly this forum gets a mention! Thanks to everyone here who keeps the rumour fire burning, I personally love it!

EXT Arma V4 for the shock. TRP for the brakes. Simply dialed.

With Ibis cutting their race teams I doubt they’re gonna sign bulldog. My bet is on Zerode

Zerode do like supporting fellow Kiwi's, and the Bulldog has worked ok with MS in the past, so I wouldn't rule it out.

Alright detectives, what do we have here? Trying to think of DH bikes with that shock orientation and I’m coming up with Zerode? Whats Bulldog riding?

New rumor I think? Milatul Khaqimah of Indonesia, with 420 pts (top ranked rider without a team in any category, except for Veronika Widmann) was put on Intense Factory in the spreadsheet by somebody. I looked into it, and she has very few followers on Instagram, and barely any from europe/north america. But... Joe Breeden, Lou Ferg, Mille Johnset, and Oscar Griffiths all follow her.

Rumored 100% quit making helmets, and focusing on sunglasses. That would make sense if true.

There was talk 100% is dropping apparel and protection from their lineup...

As I said…. Max spending big on Loris, on red boxxers. 2 former Union riders on TFR - Mcnab, Davis Syndicate got the groms Mob expanded, and Ahern doing other things Norco has World Champs. Anything else?
