This one's somewhat a team and a tech rumor I guess: Judging by Orbea's oolap post from today it looks like their DH bike is ready which would take one thing hindering them from starting a DH team off the table.

Linkglide has been spectacular for me. Might be my favorite groupset ever (it replaced dog puke NX, so that probably makes it seem better). Every low spec ebike should come with it.

Got a YT Decoy on a hell of a deal.... Didn't think I was going to own an e bike but when it cost less then my last Commencal amish bike things happen.

Maaaaan, anyone else tired of mud races this year?

Oops Asa Cycles! A few things to be gleaned from the details: Bontrager Brevard - new Assegai/DHF clone? RIB(2.0)'ed for her pleasure. Curious they call it the Rail+. The + typically signifies the ebike version of a preexisting model. Is this new rail twice as much ebike as the previous one? Also, Damn it Trek, you're speccing deore on the lowest model, why the heck aren't you speccing deore linkglide??? It's THE E-MTB drivetrain!

Can anyone explain the marketing strategy of Pivot letting Enduro-Mtb feature/review the bike and not showing it anywhere else, including their website ??

Fastest turnaround of a podcast I’ve ever done, we only recorded this morning… https://pod.co/making-up-the-numbers/racing-reform-rumours We talk through the doc & then talk team rumours 🔥🔥🔥

I actually download the enduro mag app to read about it. Looks like a sweet bike. I dont get why manufacture's aren't producing DH ebikes. This makes so much more sense then a 130 ebike. I want to ride my shuttle trails on these and not shuttle. Maybe that would be to much like a moto 😱 with a dual crown and coil shock + a full face.

I'm super interested in reading some reviews of this bike. B.K seemed to do better at World Cups on the last production Phoenix compared to the prototype IMO, but maybe he was more focused on wrapping up the CrankWorx title. If they drop a motorized version of this, I'll be on it like flies on doodoo. Wonder if we'll see a motorized version first, or a 2 Chainz Firebird? The industry as a whole seems to be asleep at the wheel with regards to super enduro/DH e bikes. Just go full power with suspension that can actually handle a heavy...

Why is no one talking about this ?

Not for the race promoter... While we may not see ebike racing on a world level, someone will grab that ball and figure out a way to make something happen... Ebikes sales are one of the bright spots for the industry right now..

Sorry champ, but our Apollo program used the metric system, and the Soviet Union landed plenty of things on the moon other than humans. More importantly, does the UCI hate miles or privateers more? 😁

tell me you are american without telling me you are american

All I’m doing is read the criteria. This forum needs the ban broom brought out to sweep your rudeness away.

There is something electric in the future.

I am a massive fan of Luca but how long do you get to keep a “factory” ride and not win?

bro I'd wash the truck and make Loic dinner every night if I got a shot on the Factory Specialized team. It's pretty surreal to see Finn grow up before our eyes into the beast he is today, I remember watching Youtube video's of him on LaPierre and he looked like he would have been 30kg ringing wet, then all the sudden he's winning Crankworx whip off, nekminute he's a grown ass man! Fuck I'm old.

Why should Finn leave Specialized? He has accepted that Bruni is number 1. He won't get more money anywhere, let alone a better bike.

Unpopular opinion - this bike looks good, is made in the US, and that's where the good ends. You're maintaining a zillion bolts for what is essentially a Kona, plus it costs $4k. Oh and it's steel, so somewhere along those zillion bolts it's gonna rust because you haven't looked them all through and paint doesn't cover the threads and such. Bit of a bougie/showboat bike at best.
