10/12/2026 5:10am I mean we have discussed this before, early days XC/marathon was mostly dirt/gravel roads and some singletracks, they both became more technical and gravel bikes filled the fire road/light singletrack gap and they are now leaning more and more towards the mtb, while keeping their niche... Aero there also makes a lot of sense as its still more endurance type...

10/2/2026 4:40am You have to be blind to no see this. Still most of mountainbikers dont really seem to have a good idea how much bigger the road cycling is compared to the MTB. Shimano is still $3billion company making drivetrains, wheels and about 20% fishing department while SRAM is estimated to be $1 billion company making suspension as well as all...

9/29/2026 11:31pm I believe the no clutch problem has been fixed to some extend, first series had really weak "main" spring which caused the chain drop but then they quickly changed it for the stiffer spring and now its better, from what I've heard (dont own one) the chatter is now only noticeable in really the roughest terrain. On the other hand...

I just buy a Banshee titan. I am so impressed on how it rides... Dual link 155m of travel, mullet or not. 2 defautls. Seat angle and insert lenght. I just ride it 5 times, including 2 times in bikepark. I send 4 meters roadgap, and big jumps with, the bike handle it so good. I came from a Zoceli Naosm. Two different vision, but i prefer the banshee because of the position, chainstay is 452mm. The bike balanced, poppy, plush, fun.

I thought Finn, Loic and Jordan all signed new deals with Specialized Gravity in 2025 through 2027? Could be wrong though. Either way I can't see Finn leaving the S with how good that bike is and how good his season is going etc.. (minus the injury)

8/26/2026 5:28am Morzine off piste world cup lets freaking go!!!! Considering Morzine is working on fixing the status quo on Le Pleney tracks, building a dedicated DH track would not be that wild though. Or maybe Chatel will host one now the EDR is dead and they now have the time for DH.

7/27/2026 1:27am Name goes back some 15-20 years ago when first proper tubeless components were introduced (tubeless ready tires, tubeless wheelsets like mavic demax, which are not drilled throught etc) but a lot of us scrubs couldnt afford those and sealants were not as good as they are today so if not using proper parts the setup most likely wouldnt hold air...

7/13/2026 4:07am In the previous years it was always Loic's suspension that seemed to be the most planted. And I've also noticed this year Fox seems a bit off, for few races now riders seemed more out of balance compared to RockShox...
