I think the easiest thing to do is ban anything that makes mountain biking “easier”. No gears. No crank arms. No wheels. Anything that gives a rider mechanical advantage. Horses should be banned too and basically anyone who has a bionic body part well you’re banned too. The land must only be used ONLY by the pure and preserved only for the worthy. The hell with your family life. You have to be committed. Your kids can watch TV by themselves. Ride, earn your turns. Getting older and want to enjoy the same trails? Who are you to still want...

Whilst land laws are clearly overly complicated in the US, with even more complicated rights of access, you could end up fully down a rabbit hole. But, if e-bikes are legal, then why wouldn’t you? Especially in your circumstances. The OTT, almost obsessive hatred that some Americans have towards them is just weird, when the rest of the world is just getting on with enjoying them for the most part. Thankfully, the UK is far more progressive in terms of land access & wherever a normal bike can go, so can an ebike. I live in a very popular riding...

By that logic then, so do fit people. I can do 2000m vert on my leg bike, or my ebike if I want to. I ride the same amount of trails. Some people just session one trail all day, pushing back up and doing multiple run. Are they monsters too? Also, for the sake of pendantry, they arn’t mopeds, e-mopeds, motos, etc & it makes you look like a silly child, calling them that with vitriol. I think you should stick to shouting at clouds.

With all the horror in the world…potential nuclear war, food shortages, inflation, homelessness, drugs, murder, robbery, car jacking, cashless bail, releasing violent criminals…. And yet there are those who want someone to enforce a no eBike policy so they don’t have to be passed on a climb and their ego can safely come out of a pillow lined basement. makes perfect sense. Grow up, much bigger issues in this world than policing fun.

So basically you have no facts to back you up just your clearly unbiased opinion… dude GFY. You’re exactly the type clown that makes mtb activism such a joke.

Like it or not eBikes are the future there’s a massive amount more lazy people than are fit ones, and there’s already a lot more companies out there that only do eBikes and are being backed by big money

Usual fox x2 failure. I swear fox must spend more on marketing than development these days.

These have a really steep head angle for a DH bike as standard, make me question what orange were thinking. I wonder how it would respond to mulleting? I'm getting oddly drawn to the looks of orange bikes these days.

I think what you have is a distaste for the "typical new ebike owner" not the bike. I've been riding since the mid 90's, I'm only in my mid 30's so the large majority of my life has been involved in MTB. This is just another evolutionary leap in tech that is bringing new people into the sport in my eyes. I've seen it before in the early 2000's after the Sydney Olympics where MTB boomed here somewhat because of a young bloke called Cadel Evans made the rest of the world look silly on an offroad bicycle. Kooks were...

As a privateer, I'd definitley have chosen the RockShox combo. Longest service life and most DIY friendly when it comes to maintenance and the cheapest service items. Doing DIY maintenance on anything FOX is a desaster.

I doubt it’s going to be that big of a change. My 21 is plush on top like he said and ramps up hard at the end of the travel. Problem is to deal with big hits you have to keep the air pressure up. Adding more damping and messing with the air spring again doesn’t seem like a game changer. I’m waiting for the buttercups breaking pics to start showing up personally.

I'm surprised the x2 lasted the 2 weeks of the test. Reinforces my choice of ohlins coil though.

The boxxer blackbox, assume on 29", have a really short axle lug. Be interesting to see the offset when they are released. The current 56mm seems ridiculous these days.

The world of e-bikes feels like it has been in an arms race these past couple of years. New models tout larger batteries and more powerful motors. Additionally, more electronic integrations, displays, and gadgets. This has left the world of lighter e-bikes in the hands of only a few players. Today, Trek does an about-face and offers the Fuel EXe - a 40-pound e-bike that to us, represents a new wave of eMTB.
