All

Been splitting my time between my Commencal E bike and my Pivot firebird 29 for the past 2 years and really with an open mind see no downside. The fitness level for both is the same I feel as you push hard on the E bike( yes you can moto uphill,) more effort the faster you go.. on our Thursday night rides will average 8 more miles per ride ( more fitness) than on my pedal bike.. I enjoy them both, and as a trail builder see no more wear and tear than a pedal bike inflicts. The mentality about...

I'm saying it in the current context, within the current movement to highlight certain inequities which tend to be toned down or directly shadowed by the statu quo. If you are white and middle class in the US, you detent some privileges other minorities don't. Here in the MTB community the presence of not Caucasian personalities is scarce at best. To be clear: I'm not advocating for an uproar or any other violent behavior. I'm just saying most if the populace might be accustomed to using certain terms regularly, but if we want to move to a more equal society...

Reading through the comments here and at PB I came to realize there's a growing trend in the US to privilege the freedom at all costs, even when it means the oppression and demeaning of an already oppressed and demeaned minority will be perpetuated. What you are essentially voicing here is your wish to remain part of a privileged segment of the population. I get it, you feel menaced by those trying to get a bigger cut off the pie than they were traditionally allowed to, but it doesn't change the fact that if you advocate for a more equal...

It's called cultural appropriation. And it's going out of style. Feel free to remain stuck in the past.

Looks like there are a lot of but hurt yeti riders in here. Whats the big deal? People felt offended by a slogan and Yeti obliged and changed it. Can't y'all put yourself in someone else's shoes for a second? Should we only change things that EVERYONE agrees is bad? Not sure why so many people feel so strongly about this.

How is dropping the term going to hurt you? Its use hurts others, and it's not up to you to declare that it doesn't. Clearly, you just wish your viewpoint to be privileged over those of marginalized people. And yes, they are marginalized; the continued skepticism towards the wishes and desires of indigenous people is both cause and evidence of that.

But one can give it, for the common good.

“Swoop there it is”

It really does look like a mix between the capra and the Commencal clash. I guess they took some inspiration from their fellow direct sales competitors

I’m getting carbon commencal vibes
