Coming off a Spire with a 180mm Cascade link and a 190mm Fox 40, my Supreme V5 still crushes it.

Respectfully, it's more accurate to say " Pro tip, your super enduro will absolutely be acceptable for DH trails." No matter how good long travel single crown bikes are these days, there's still no replacement for displacement.

Sure looks like a V4 Nomad

Yeah that make sense. Would be cool to see more adjustments on SC frames but they unfortunately go the opposite way.

Damping needs to be adjusted to compensate for the change in leverage ratio regardless of what shock is being run.

We need a deep dive analysis between these and Cast components.

We deserve a separate thread for stem and handlebar rumors

Ok here is my unified semi-conspiracy theory that explains the proto V10, Jackson Goldstone's bike weights, the mysterious lack of a Specialized Enduro, the development journey of the Demo, lagging enduro enthusiasm from bike companies in general, and even the Orbea Rallon. Manufacturers think that e-bikes are the future and are orienting themselves toward dedicating a majority of their efforts toward producing them. They have the following assumptions about e-bikes: -E-bikes have shown that the weight of the motor under the bottom bracket can actually play a positive role in how a bike handles. It drives the front tire into...

Yup! Or a Cascade Components "mullet" shock mount. Will all be cheaper than machining those huge rocker links.

Where does the podium use roller bearings?!

Vital folks will literally screenshot pinkbike comments and still call it “the other site”

The bathtub on my patrol is its most annoying feature.

Having ridden a DJI powered bike (Mith) extensively, to the extent I still have an order in for one, and also having a Bosch Gen 5 bike, with the power upgrade, the post above covers the pertinent points. I don’t think there is that much variance in efficiency, all things being equal, but I don’t buy into the notion of “if it’s not got a DJI it’s not selling”. Bosch outsell DJI at a rate of thousands to one, they aren’t going anywhere with the latest motor. It’s really good & fractions different in the real world. The problem is...

IMO they nailed the V10 kinematics. Plus press love them and pros are doing well on them. I would expect the updated Nomad and Megatower to stay VPP since they have space to move the shock forward to get that ~120% AS.

You didn’t get this from me.

"brodozer" LOL that term needs to find a home in mountain biking vocabulary!
