Correct, though as of last year Float X2 is no longer twin tube and has moved to a mono-tube design. We kept the X2 designations to help the majority of riders understand what product relates to what category and what adjustments they can expect on the product.

You're an amateur. I carry a ton of tools, but every other year or so something goes so horribly wrong I STILL have to walk back to the car. Bikes are pretty good though. My proudest trailside repair was actually roadside...blew a shifter cable 40 miles from home on a cold February day on my gravel bike. I had an extra cable in my little revelate gas tank bag. Fixed it, rode home.

PUSH Industries Liked a forum topic Enginerding: Inverted Forks and Front Hubs
3/10/2026 5:39pm
Front Hub configuration, style, and bearing size have little influence on the performance that you get out of a conventional or "right side up" MTB suspension fork. This is due to the fact that the lower legs are one-piece, connected by the lower leg fork brace. The same cannot be said for manufacturers of inverted MTB forks. With an inverted design, the hub ties the two lower legs together. The more robust the hub, the more robust the performance from the chassis and vice versa. Is it possible that we'll see a shift in front hub designs as Inverted forks...

Plot twist, the lifespan of running shoes for a serious runner is apparently a couple hundred miles, depending on the weight of the runner. And it's the cushioning that gives out. It's not that the shoes are useless after that point, but they're not optimal (kinda like the carcass of a downhill tyre getting softer after a few runs). If you're seriously into running, just buying the shoes is not cheap. Even though running is touted as a very cheap sport. So it's the same everywhere in the end.

I doubt it, he's sponsored by Bosch. He's trying to discredit the opposition?

Radial casing compliance and feel, for me at least. The albert radial rolls pretty well but the side knobs peel and squirm too much when leaning the bike over on the front for my taste. The MM radial is a slow roller but has a more stout side knob for front wheel cornering traction on lean. Tacky chan tread pattern looks like the best of both worlds- fast rolling, sturdy side knobs.

You know they work great!! They slowed Loic down enough that Jackson went flying by, unable to stop with his barely functional Shimano prototypes!!!

Spoken like a boomer core lord. That’s what the viral forums seem to have become though. Dario is actually a breath of fresh air in mountain bike media, same as Jason. His perspective is a welcome change from the usual safe, generic industry takes the rest of the media recycles time and time again.

piggy Liked a comment about Press Release Specialized Introduces the Levo R
2/25/2026 4:08pm
utterly ridiculous. they took the bike that was largely panned last year, short stroked the shock, paired with a lighter fork and put lightweight tires on it and are calling it light and nimble? I can't imagine the use case for this bike, but it's not mountain biking as most of us know it. Just get an Avinox equipped bike already and call it a day. The Unno is lighter and more capable. Or a Druid LitE.

The changes to the B1 all seems like a response to issues people had with the A1 without admitting it. And the biggest complaint of all, "the lever is too hard to pull" confounds me to this day. Really? I think the A1 line is preferrable in this chart, at least it's unique to other options an not similar like the B1?

Well, the name Bike Yoke kind of already answers your question, doesn't it? 😉 We want to honour our roots, so we stuck with the name, although we are more known for other things now. The Yoke for Specialized bikes was our first product. I had previously been with Bionicon, yes. I was there from 2010-2018 as suspension and frame designer. For Bionicon I had used the 90° rotated eyelet already to create a shock extension and then we used the same idea to allow the use of normal shocks on Specialized bikes.
