Ohlins Airspring video "why 95% of riders use it wrong" - figured i'd post here to hear your findings

If time allows, I’ll try to put together a Giant + Shimano + limited Canyon analysis since they all reported recently. At first glance its more of the same. Things are stagnant. The problem we’ve discussed aren't getting worse, but the industry isn’t suddenly waking up from the hangover all at once, either.

I get it, attention economy and all, but I’m seeing people mash up different profitability KPIs that should never be compared, lean on percent-change numbers to make things look...

Maybe worth a look, as they tried to get a worldcup fot some years. And it seems the whole commencal Les Orres team will race there.

Norco's Andorra heart-breaker video is up

According to people during Hardline Tazmania, that only happens to Pivots. Does that mean that - just perhaps - bikes that get ridden hard sometimes break?

A great edit of Enduro action from La Thulie. Putting it in here so it get some eyes as the La Thulie thread is burried now.

This is beautiful, and such a contrast to DTs shitty website.

Not sure if the embargo ends today anyway, but you can check out the Ripley AF on youtube. Apparently the Eagle 90 spec is 4k USD and the lower tier one 3.4 k or something and geo is shared with the carbon version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqJBjwI8-JE The Vid also has a pic of the Ripmo AF, which looks actually pretty nice in raw alu.

Kilian Bron's Megavalanche POV from 100th to the podium. Mental.
