Higher stack, not overly long, better ratio XL bikes (1.8-1.82 range)

I didn't know she was sponsored by Forge + Bond.

Cami making the switch to pickleball?

Definitely a breakout season for Kiefer.. It's going to be fun watching him progress..

Kiefer is for shure the Mens banger since this season. Entering the top10 ist serious business and for shure not a one hit wonder. Exited to follow his progress. Especially some of his lines were outstanding, which means he has the skills and confidence. The whole canyon team was pretty impressive though.

You are 100% correct. Her times would improve big-time with full support. Even Vali has said how much harder it was when she lost support this year. Some people attribute negative direct statements with feeling intelligent. The right bike and support can make a world of difference in results.

That's a PB worthy answer right there..

She’s Parton ways with Canyon

tech rumors forum update - you've spoken and have been heard we'll lock out this thread at the end of the year (no matter what, it's just too darn big now), and will carry on with yearly tech rumors threads that will be stickied for easy participation. the 2026 thread is already underway here (not yet stickied) i just want to thank everyone for their feedback and insight on what this piece of the vital community means.

“Every step of the way”

Atherton just announced an e-bike will be released in 2026. Doing a three part series talking about development, but no pics released yet.

I'm stuck at work on Christmas Eve, so here are some random thoughts that aren't impossible. Some I like, some I hate: Scott - I have no interest in every owning a Scott bike and not sure if it's the right fit, but the everyone seems to love the Gambler and their freeride team is kind of killing it. Brendog, Vinny T, Vaea (remember her Rampage bike?!?) and a bunch of others. Cool collab opportunities. Specialized - out of principle, I kind of hate the Big S, but it would probably get Brage the biggest paycheck and most opportunity for...

I'm not sure where I see him landing... But, damn.. That farewell/ thank you video to GT was epic!

That mean we are losing the shoes too?! I’m running out of options for DH flats with crazy good grip. Still in tears about Sam Hills. Finally got through the emotions and tried 2FO DH and was pleasantly surprised and stoked. Don’t take those from me too!! Seriously… idk what I’ll do

It’s very reasonable for a rider to test a completely new frame with parts they are used to. Removes the variables.Imagine switching every single part on the bike at the same time, you’d have no idea which parts are effecting what. Then introduce one new component at a time to specifically test/refine it. Especially since contracts with new component sponsors probably haven’t activated yet. Very clear goodbyes on the teams Instagram to EXT, Maxxis etc..

Would you rather a lorry full of cubes or a cube full of Laurie’s?

I’ve had the opportunity to watch her race in western Canada in the Dunbar Summer Series, Canadian Nationals, she’s a ripper! With the right support she could be our next Canadian woman at WCs

Not the main team, but I saw yesterday that they're offering support to Arleigh Kemp, a young Canadian (not yet a junior?) woman.
