It's a data point but I feel like every German review, is biased towards German products. Tires, motors, suspension, cars, etc. Hey, maybe they are just better. What is true is that eventually the manufacturing grease goes away and Avinox motors will all rattle to some extend or another just due to their design, just like the EP801s & Bosch Gen4 before them rattled.

Dak has the striped sleeve.I guess it‘s worth something. Mondraker is Markus Stöckl and I can see him having an interest in Dak with the stripes and the style and fanbase. It‘s not just results. Finn - I hope he stays with the big S - could also join Tahnée. But it woud be a risky move if they are not together for the long term. Pinky is a good rider but lacks fame and results. That could be a problem. But he is just outside rhe Top10 and couldbe there next year But I do not see Vali at...

Let me tell you something about Pivot, they definitely have the money to support a strong DH/Enduro team. Their bikes are great, and the Phoenix is selling really well. I actually had to wait eight months for my frame because my dealer told me they’re prioritizing full builds. And this season, I saw a lot of Phoenix V5s at the bike parks. BK might be the official owner of the team, but I’m pretty sure Pivot has a say when it comes to signing riders. Most of the team struggled with injuries this year, and Bora Bora was their top...

Watched it last night, good follow up video and i do agree with you. I ran a 180mm boxxer on my megatower 1 for a short period of time and it was awesome. At that time, I measured the 180mm boxxer to have pretty much the same axle to crown as the 170mm zeb and the difference in flex/bushing bind was noticeable under extreme duress. I did notice the steering limiting effect of the dual crown on 3-4 trails I ride regularly that had excessive switchbacks (san juan trail in socal for those that know). That being said, with some...

I don't know how deep his pockets are, but he knows he'll sell more ebikes than DH bikes..

Listening right now... Hopefully Dak finds a good ride.. 23rd overall coming back from a major injury isn't a bad thing.. He's definitely the guy who's the working man's hero.. Plus, the US Open win and a 4th for the end of the season should show the potential is there.

Is that with or without YT's departure? I'm assuming they, at the very least, get to 21st heading into next year... And then ride out wild card entries at every single event. I can't imagine they aren't first in line for wildcard entries. For a few reasons... To me the biggest question is, does Pivot do anything in the off season to position themselves better? Or does the team fade more so into local races with no roster changes, etc. I actually quite liked Pivot going to 'local' races since you knew you were gonna get BK/JH and even EdBullMH...

Would agree. But enduro is dead. The industry seems to move more towards trail or freeride at the moment. I see his future in contend creating: uci dh, crankworks, ixs dh... stuff like that. He has a real talent there.

I don't know if MoiMoi to Pivot would work from a business perspective. BK already has a merch side hustle and vlogs, EdBull media already does MoiMoi-type videos. Adding another dude who has merch and a social media following may not make sense. I think where Jack Moir ends up will be really interesting, given the landscape of enduro at this time. What are some teams that could be looking to add someone? Super highly unlikely, but it would be sick to see Santa Cruz form a team with him and Booker.

What' the need for a tapered steerer on a dual crown fork? You just have to get a reducer crown race to fit your headset. Straight steerer allow more room for anglesets or reach adjust headsets. @jeff.brines how could you not run a DM stem?

there is no acid in ebike batteries, old man. also, they are recyclable

AARGH, Stupid sexy Kolb! 😖

It's business. Whatever is best for the team.

I am so glad Jackson pulled it of with one of the greatest runs ever. That pre hop was absolute insanity. It would have been so awkward if Bruni had "tricked" Goldstone into destroying himself for a run that he did not need to win. I think they spesh team were hoping for a flat, but still would have been a bad way to get an overall. Sucks for Loic, but if he was not able to ride by the time finals started, should have made it public IMO. Anyway, Canada delivered and Jackson had his very deserved overall. This...

Ya that's a tough one... I feel like all the other names are not due for a move (most of them having just made moves). So Vali and Andi are the only obvious ones. Can't imagine it's about juniors, including juniors moving up next year. (Also wondering if Asa stays where he is for elites or... Was the contract only through juniors so he can 'get the bag' during his elite career? Also wondering if podium is race only in that context or also about the 'overall podium' as well? I know there was a mention of a move to...

As a Crestline/Avinox owner I can tell you it's every bit as advertised. Downvoters don't know!

I can't image Santa Cruz (and every other other high end brand) isn't developing a DJI bike right now and they will manage to make it VPP again. Crestline already did it. Ran across one of those in the wild recently and had a chat about it. His buddies were on Amflow and freaking Teewing! There's a sizable chunk of the ebike market that is DJI or bust and will try a "not real brand" just for the motor. I can't imagine SC not wanting a slice of that pie. I'd never buy an Amflow or Teewing, but I do...

is this a 'drink every time Cam McCaul laughs' production?

Bruni retires?!?!?
