Get your flame fingers ready for use, folx. An UnPopular Opinion is ahead: I joked with friends/coworkers that if you ever have a bad day at work just remember that somewhere there's a team of mech designers that had to design and render the cycbertruck. I think one of those designers went over to whomever is making those likely Brembo brakes and used all of their design chops they picked up rendering that poorly laid plan of a vehicle on that MC. Woof!

You just described Rocky Mountain's powerplay drivetrain.

+2 for me, big big agree. But I’m still waiting for those sweet, sweet slideshows to make a return. Or maybe I just need a Spotify link to that low-tempo, bass-forward track that accompanied the slideshows, so I can cue it up and scroll… Spomer can you make that happen and bring back the old timey feels?

Thanks for the scrolling format. I love the nerdery, but always give up on having to swipe through.

please keep this format for all photo articles and ditch the slideshow ones, thx

...Or they aren't going out of business? Borealis just posted this on Facebook that directly contradicts the other article.

Uh... no. That's precisely why they need to bring the name back. Sometimes companies have iconic and excellent names from years past that would totally apply to their new platform and instead call it something else. Or use the iconic name on an ebike.

Id rather read through 20 pages of brake derailment in this forum than watch that whole video at full volume.

A bit more information available on Bikes.com: https://bikes.com/en-ca/pages/new-acquisition-faq Headquarters are indeed staying out East, but moving from Saint-Georges to the Montreal area. Here's also a bit more information regarding the group of 4 new owners: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/a-new-era-for-rocky-mountain-a…

Do you wake up every day wondering "who can I be a d1ck to on the Vital Forums today"? Assuming good intent and extending a modicum of kindness takes almost no effort; give it a try!

TL;DR, Fox reported and things are going as planned. No big red flags. Stock is up 9% after hours ontop of an additional 5% intraday. Management was quick to point out inventories are stabilizing and the bike industry might be voyaging into calmer waters, which frankly surprised me. The tariff thing is an overhang, but it feels more like the overhang has to do with the potential we end up in a recession, consumer confidence/spending softens and nobody is buying stuff - they have their ops pretty buttoned up for this sort of thing (it appears). If anyone wants the...

Theres now a forum for this that will allow you get super nerdy https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/modern-geo-talk-chainstays-stack-re…

I agree. That sentence is bizarre. I'm weirded out by the implication that choosing a longer or shorter chainstay length would be a compromise, but somehow choosing a 438mm chainstay length isn't a compromise? Every geometry decision you make on a bike represents a compromise. They're all trade-offs. Either that, or Canyon and friends have stumbled upon the Platonic ideal of the form "chainstay length." We're all in the cave over here, but at Canyon they've unshackled and transcended bodily existence to discovered the one true form of bike geometry. So meta of them.
