not much of a hardtail nerd but these are pretty neat

the initiative i like to see. thank you!

Hi! This is my first post on this thread, but I have been reading for 2 years now. I talked with Sam pilgrim and a few other canyon guys at Tennessee Nationals, and also got to swing a leg over the Production New canyon sender. Supposedly the bike was supposed to release April 12 (that’s what Sam said, he also verified that it was the production version he was riding) so there’s a chance maybe it is releasing this month still? His bike had a baby blue color with white canyon letters. The (production?) bike also was equipped with the...

Tech Rumors and Innovation For rumors of tech. No one cares what chain stays you prefer take it somewhere else.

You are correct. The 10% baseline stays in place during the "pause". As to your second point, I'm not sure who can afford more pain. I am one of those people who believes China is in fact in a (much) worse position than tjhe US from a government debt, currency and demographics shift perspective, but Americans won't stand for the level of pain Chinese people are culturally willing to tolerate. How does this turn out? Well, there is a greater than 0% chance it ends up something like this...

Or they just copied SCOR?

Agreed. It's worth noting that one of the key factors driving many bike industry companies to declare bankruptcy (or take on more debt) was lack of liquidity and cash flow because so much was tied up in inventory. Companies were flush with inventory and it was not selling fast enough to cover their monthly operational costs. Some companies got cash infusions to fill the gap (Scott, rumors of Trek taking Walton $) and others went belly up. From a cash flow standpoint, tariffs are a very heavy hit as companies have to pony up cash in advance of getting the...

We'll see who starts to blend their pricing to try and preserve margin across all markets instead of just dive bombing the US market.

This is insane. I love it. Some antisquat/pedal kick charts would be nice though

At first I thought the same, but given the limited run of 20, its more of a "why not" than "why"

I'm going to go out on a fairly sturdy limb here and say that the venn diagram of riders who buy the new Levo and use the class 3 thing to plod down the blue Flow trail at Soquel Demo near Specialized HQ (where ebikes are technically not allowed) would look awfully close to a single circle. (Disclosure: I've ridden my ebike there too, but only go there like once a year because its so vanilla.)

I am personally very concerned about the ability for the user to toggle to class 3 and the higher speed cutoff. Specialized just opened a can of worms with access issues and ebikes being lumped in with electric motorbikes. Going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

In the meantime, I have an incoming factory order of a couple thousand mtb pants that are going to be hit with an additional 26% tariff, for 53.9% total import tax. India. That would be all fine and good, if: 1: I thought consumers would be wiling to pay 26% more. LOL. 2: Tariffs would hold at 53.9%. They won't, so I'll be in a permanent hole on this year's inventory. These import taxes will roll away within a few months. Businesses need a predictable environment in which to operate. If I knew the tariffs would actually be permanent and...
