If one rider can make a Danny Hart Champery style run out of it - it will be worth it for sure

I'm not actually 100% sure of what I witnessed today. This was by far the most unhinged thing I've ever seen involving bikes. Conditions, weather, riding, fans, etc... all completely unhinged.

8/19/2026 7:36pm The media misreported; there was a final meeting yesterday where the law firm handling the bankruptcy case for RAD, the prior owner of Rocky Mountain, announced that there were no more funds to be allocated for unsecured creditors. I assume the file is now closed. Rocky Mountain Bicycles, under the recent Chaos Sports acquisition, is alive and well.

I shudder to think what that nicolai weighs, my XL Range VLT is 30kg and it's a huuuuuge bitch. I have to put an event in my calendar to eat pasta and pre workout if I want to try a manual or bunnyhop on the weekend.

Just published our Amflow PX Carbon Pro review - https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/e-bikes/amflow/px-77641#comment-… TLDR: I would buy the cheaper PX Carbon and buy better suspension second-hand on marketplace, and romp it for a long time. The bike was super capable and fun to ride, it's light, the motor/range/tunability/interface is great, and all the geo adjustments make it quite adaptable.

8/17/2026 8:52am It doesn't matter as much on the way up, but it certainly does on the way down. Heavy bikes are less agile and take more effort to move around. When speeds are below a certain threshold, a heavy bike just won't handle that well. Changing direction on a 50lb bike vs. a 30lb bike is a noticeable difference in effort...

While I’m no 32er apologist. I’m old enough to remember this exact argument when 29ers came out. I was working at a shop in College when 29ers started to hit the market, people would come in and actually get pissed at us for having 29ers on the floor. Anyone remember anti-29er stickers on people’s cars? I can remember a few different stickers, one said “One less 29’er”. I even remember being at a trail head in Pisgah in college, my buddy unloaded his 29er from the back of my truck and a “local” said “those aren’t welcome here”. No one...

below is the amflow PR. you posted the PX which is $10k and has a 700wh batttery. PR and new konas are similarly priced, both with 800wh batteries. kona is alloy/bosch/mech drivetrain, PR is carbon/avinox/s1000 drivetrain. the PR is a 53 pound thicky (it's in my garage right now).

8/13/2026 12:47pm True Core isn't discussed, claimed, or performative. It just is. Anyone that claims to be core, isn't. Anyone talking about what is or is not core, isn't. Anyone that puts any effort into being core, isn't. Core just doing it for the love of it with zero concern for whatever is going on around you. Unfortunately for us in here...

Thanks for the reminder, @sspomer , that World Champs are coming up soon. Along with that event, there are only 3 World Cup races left in the 2026 season. Here's a sort-of look at what's on the horizon: Downhill 2026 remaining schedule: World Cup - Les Gets - Qualifying Aug. 21, Finals Aug. 22 World Champs - Val di Sole - Qualifying Aug. 28, Finals Aug. 29 World Cup - Whistler - Qualifying Sep. 26, Finals Sep. 27 World Cup - Lake Placid - Qualifying Oct. 3, Finals Oct. 4 World Cup Standings Notes: ME: Williams leads with 874 points...

8/11/2026 12:33pm Completely agree. Someone at some point made the same observation when comparing mountain bikes from 1990 to 2010. Today I would prefer to ride the 2010 bike myself, but 6 year old me wouldn't have compiled enough experience to care as long as the tires weren't flat. Youth E-MTBs are for the parents, not the kids.
