That would be really cool. With Anna, Asa and Dylan racing Elite would it be the strongest US DH team ever? Not to mention the army of smoking fast Juniors Neko has on the development team.

Said it before, I’ll say it again - Dylan maples to Frameworks.. why? There was a race this year where neko seemed very excited about his run, more so than usual.

Between the state of the industry and ever changing landscape of the WC DH rules, there's a good chance of some good names not having a ride...

Time to kick off the silly season for 2026. Throw your best guesses, secrets or official news about mountain bike racers and their 2026 plans into the ring. While I have no specific news at this moment, I'm extremely curious to see how things pan out for next year when it comes to racer values and the investment incentives into race teams for brands. 2025, at least at the World Cup level, has proven that an expensive roster of top talent (or formerly top talent) doesn't guarantee results or even a presence on race day.

This has been my experience as well. Just stay on top of chain wear and you're golden. The drivetrain on this bike https://www.vitalmtb.com/community/ARonBurgundy,30923/setup,41567 is still in operation today and it was lightly used when I built the bike in 2020. I did retire the cranks out of caution as I wore through a few layers of carbon on the arms.

X01 Eagle is the bees knees. I ran the same chainring (gx aluminium), cassette (the old 10-50t),shifter and derailleur for 4 and a half seasons on my old bike with only a new X01 chain about every year. The derailleur is still being used on one of the bikes by a friend who bought it off of me. I ran the last chain for 2 seasons (and I started waxing the chain in the same time frame) and just recently gave it to another friend to use it some more as I only measured 0,35 % wear rate on it...

Technology is not a replacement for bike maintenance. You simply have to tear your bike down once a year if you're riding a good amount and make sure you touch everything. Too many mountain bikers are in the ride it until it breaks or there is a problem mindset.

No issues with waterproofing in mechanical systems. Odd how mechanical is still more precise, faster, and cheaper than electric but everyone needs “new tech.”

Guess the DB8 is over. The Hayes using DOT has been one of the things holding me back from swapping to them. (lifelong Shimano/TRP guy) My dog is a weirdo and licks the floor and while I do my best to clean up I'd rather him accidentally come in contact with mineral oil than DOT. (yes I know both are not good)
