9/20/2023 3:20am that's the thing: the brand has not failed, there was a restructuring between private owners and creditors. so not sure how a new company can sell the same product as the old company for very long. can they sell older stocks, possibly, but i doubt they ll be able to establish themselves as Stanton, with the same logo, branding etc...

9/19/2023 6:40pm The below pissed me off so much i felt compelled to post this here: So some german distributor bought some Stanton stock from Asia and is trying to register the brand name in europe ( ex-UK). Original Stanton bikes from UK: https://www.stantonbikes.com For those who know, they have been making hardtails for years. Shameless Copycats: https://www.1bike4life.com/stanton found this article on...

9/5/2023 11:18pm IF I was a betting man, i would say Finn moves on from Specialized gravity, as this is a a team build around Bruni. They are both playing for the overall, and I reckon that is not sustainable in the long run. zero comment from Finn on his teammate victory on Social media, and Bruni saying Finn is basically playing...

9/5/2023 7:03am bruni was saying dak doesn't have a team, has a bike that's not great, and despite all that, Dak could still pull off second place. Bruni sounded stoked for dak, but it did not look like Dak was choosing to move on. I fully agree Dak deserves a good bike and a solid team, early in the silly season, so...

9/5/2023 6:24am Might be old news, but Bruni just said (or confirmed) on the Full Attack you tube debrief that Dak Norton does not have a team next year. Is Intense folding or is it just him not being renewed?

1/12/2023 3:34pm So true. a bit like when max commencal left Sunn. They lost all their coolness. Which has mow nicely been reborn with Commencal. 100% agree with the syndicate content. Cringe worthy.I Love the riders, they are awesome and super talented, but these videos are not serving them well… Crap job from the producing company.

7/17/2022 4:58am Permanent number for the year OR consistent kit… I am not a casual watcher, and yet it is hard to distinguish riders on the vital videos for example ( cf the trek team). I can recognize loris riding style for exmaple, but the others … impossible for me! So the brands get full recognition, but once again at tge expense...

15.2kg. a bit of a porker :-) but i loved the chrome finish and it rides and climbs amazingly well. the geometry makes all the difference. carbon frame carbon cranks and higher end cockpit / saddle, and you can probably bring this to 13 easily i recon. i have to say the most amazing feature are the new XT hubs, I don t know what shimano was all about with the scylence hubs on XTR, but these are remarkable: a low speed the freewheel clicks as per usual although it is a bit more like a iight buzzing, as soon...

Thanks. Loving the new 12speed xt. Amazingly smooth under power and the hubs are near silent. I still need to dial the supensions but the bike is a massive step fwrd compared to my 2016 reign.
