2024 has brought big changes to Norco. After a few stale years post-COVID slowdown, they've revamped much of their line-up for this year. While some brands are cutting spending and trying to keep their heads above water, Norco has taken a bold approach and developed a whole bunch of new models. Included in this revitalization phase is a ground-up revision of the Range VLT. Norco has been investing heavily in high-pivot suspension designs, and the big-hitting e-bike is evidence of that. Going with a high-pivot idler pulley could be considered risky for a full-power e-bike, or it could also...

Going to test some new ebike cranks this week, a prototype 150mm crank from a local company. Should be interesting, I've never tried anything that short before.

Looks like its actually happening

I ride a Commencal Meta TR Bosch CX and have mixed feelings on the App overall but I think the mode customization is quite good. I’m still learning the bike and app but I’m as likely to pull some of the dynamics out of a mode as I am to add anything for where I ride. (TX). The stock settings are quite punchy.

Very personal, but for me Maxxis, including specifically the Assegai, tend to puncture much faster than Schwalbe of equivalent weight. Most Maxxis DD's I have tried were dead in under a month on the rear (multiple snakebites or big tear), whereas a Schwalbe supertrail will probably last at least 3 months, and a supergravity will never die (talking sidewalls here, knobs will be long gone)

Maxxis take notes. We want a 2C in DH and DH casing!

What a depressing set of comments today. Biking is a hobby, people can enjoy it as they wish. Get over yourselves and let people be happy. Complaints about other peoples opinions are not tech rumors.
