vital's norco sight vlt tq review with @Blake_Motley - https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/e-bikes/norco/sight-vlt-73251#co…

I've been riding a yet to be released eBike with the TQ60 system, but I set it up much like you have on the TQ40. Mode 1 is set to +100 watts at a 1:1 assistance and Mode 2 is set at +200 watts with a 1:1 assistance. This bike is a bit heavier than the Rallon RS, but has a 580Wh battery. I can pretty much ride all day on that battery if I use Modes 1 & 2. I still have mode 3 at 350 watts and a 1:1 assistance. I'm loving this bike on technical high desert...

Prices are out of this world 😬

-19% German VAT +shipping +15% fascist kingdom tax + local VAT

I don't think this Ai was trained to use synonyms for "more."

Late to this but Escape Collective wrote a whole article about it: https://escapecollective.com/this-isnt-what-it-looks-like/ tl;dr "“This image is actually a GIF that isn’t loading correctly on the website (WIP to fix) that was created to show how we are changing the conventional thought of having a deeper rim profile in the back than in the front towards having a deeper rim profile in the front,” a Specialized spokesperson told me." and "As for AI use, Specialized confirmed that there is “no AI use on our website at all, actually – everything is created by our internal creative team and digital teams.”...

Not MTB, but might as well be. Was scrolling through some shop’s description of an upcoming ski.

judging by Jenson implementing a shop with AI feature and Revel using an AI image for their christmas post... uhhh it's only going to get worse. Strap in, everybody...

Here’s hoping AI thumbnail images and other slop are OUT.

Amfow is making a bike that the vast majority of cyclists want as the bike suits the vast majority of trails people really ride.

Nothing a bribe won’t fix in the current administration.

It's true, Specialized teams weren't the only ones doing it this year. It's been seen in gravel too, but for aero benefits up front and comfort out back. And the "Win Tunnel" is what Specialized calls their wind tunnel, that's not a typo – if that's what people were implying.

I actually don't think this is that. The image may have been AI-generated (I don't actually think it is) but I believe this was done intentionally to play off "flipping the script" of making the deeper-section wheel on the front instead of traditionally being on the back... so the joke image is that they put a rear wheel on the front and a front wheel on the rear.
