I would just like to call out the fact that 100% of the 6 mens elite world cups so far have been won on 148 rear ends.

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...

I've even heard rumors that Red Bull doesn't actually make helmets either

I mean its the same as with the car industry, China simply has an upper hand on technology, production and pricing... And I doubt there will be protective tariffs on ebike motors as there are on cars

Strange nobody posted it from the other site as its been out for 12 hours+, new player in ebike motors, similar specs as avinox, but with freaking 1.5kW charger and integrated ecvt with 500% range... (there is also 1500W version with 500% range)

I'd say the modern codes have been made worse somehow recently, they were decent brakes some years ago, not as strong as Saints but better modulation and good reliability. I also have a friend who bought epic evo and he complained immediately how terrible they are and replaced them asap.

If anyone doesnt understand this bike I dont blame him, neither did I. But after spending few days in a Sud Tyrol town, through which runs a long distance cycle path that connects Northern Italy and Germany my perception changed big time: I only used said cycle path to link different trails for few km at the time but I'd...

Funny coincidence, few days ago a friend shared that he was offered a position in a top F1 team and his comment was that while it sounds interesting he prefers to keep designing drones from home :D

Man… this forum is screwed. Everything is turning crab, each new product launch is 1.25% better than the shitty unusable last generation, and now we are discussing solar capabilities on an ai bike that will more than likely be a kickstarter scam. The future looks great! 😃

Probably refers to the fact that Jay, the owner, now lives in Taiwan and does the QC on site. Keith, the designer/engineer is from Scotland and rest of the crew is in the USA. If that makes it a Taiwanese company so be it... The fact that whole brand is basically run by 4 people is just amazing, is FW...
