All

Here's the entry list for this weekend's race: https://chronorace.blob.core.windows.net/webresources/20250509_mtb/entr… There are many more racers in almost every category compared to last year and riders seem genuinely excited for the comeback of two-day racing.

https://ucimtbworldseries.com/news/warner-bros-discovery-sports-present… So enduro gets it's own "Drive To Survive" this year. Could be brilliant, could be cringe. For the love of enduro, please let this be good.

kicked off a thread for EDR Pietra Ligure here - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/2025-edr-1-pietra-ligure @Mr.Nally - can you share the link to registered riders?

First round of the ewsdr or whatever they are callling it this year next weekend and the course map has been released. Around 100km and 3100m of climbing over 2 days so looks like they are going back to bigger days out again.

here are some mitch-on-the-bike shots from later in that clip you pulled from. at windrock mitch just said c-dale doesn't have a DH bike, so it made sense to ride the frameworks. no idea if there's more to it.

Mitch Ropelato on ohlins, Brembo brakes and blacked out frameworks frame?

From space-age test mule to super slick production version, here's the new Sender in all its glory: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/canyon-finally-releases-new….

Here's an interesting chat, Jesse Melamed on Remy Metailler's pod channel - they get into racing and the current evolution of both enduro and DH from sort of 15 minutes to 45 minutes (then there's a big section on bike setup you can nerd out on as well):

I know there's already a bunch of info on it, but looks like Ritchie Rude was racing on the new Fox USD fork at the Squamish Enduro on the weekend.

You may be underestimating the sheer number of companies (in and outside of bike) that rely on spreadsheets and manual updates. Frightening to think that Excel really does run the world.

Hey everyone, this is TJ. Tariffs aren't fixed to factory cost, or wholesale or retail. They're calculated based on the specific transaction price. The example we used is accurate for an ecomm purchase, shipped from our warehouse in Canada. If a retailer ordered the same short and we charged them half the price ($100), the same tariff percentage would apply, so tariffs would be $145 for a total cost to the retailer of $245. If the retailer sells that short to a customer and maintains their dollar margin the short would be $345 to the end user - however if...

There was "not a race" test event at Lousa with a lot of top DH riders attending, here are the results: https://results.stopandgo.pro/1648/ranking/individual/4/1

Yeah - Some new Moto suspension from Intend. Sliding bushings in the front fork, and a newly developed air+coil rear shock. Shock only recommended for people above 85kg. Also modular shock mount, so you can swap between regular eyelet and trunnion mount, cool idea. Limited to 10 pieces, seems like they are already sold out. But we can hope they start selling the rear shock in the future, but in their normal colors. Seems like a lot of work to develop a full cnc'd one piece shock housing, and having springs made+speced by Eibach for 10 shocks. https://www.intend-bc.com/shop/moto/?v=efad7abb323e
