your currency is not much worth anymore, it lost like 25% in just 4 years against the swiss franc, what do you people expect things to cost when you import everything and the fascist king wants his cut on top?

The team are all in POC kit and helmets for race season it looks like. Just odd to see Minnaar still on a huge brand like fox when "his" time are now the main Adidas team. I understand the practicalities of it all, it's just so odd for Adidas to dump so much cash to emmm, well...get what?

Minnaar at a press camp in Italy for what I suspect is the new 38. But rumor wise. Strange to see he has changed to 5.10 shoes. But still in Fox kit. Pretty odd for your star legacy rider, team manager/mentor guy to be in a competitors clothing still even though Adidas are bank rolling the Norco team?

$1,700 for the full groupset is insane

super interesting to see that even though they kind of acknowledge that a super refined high-tech DH transmission is semi-pointless. They are clear that Dh is the pinnacle of gravity, so the pinnacle of their marketing efforts and it's also a big flex, 'cos they CAN build and sell this drivetrain. Unlike their competitors they have the money/tech/want to make...

From the latest Specialized Gravity YT video it looks like the riders are going to use the airbag. Meyer-Smith was using it at hardline which probably wasn't just a one-off thing then. I wonder if they will develop a DH-specific deployment algorithm.

Rumors are all done..but Max Alran has moved from Oakley to 100% goggles. Meaning he's the only rider on that team not on Oakley I think? Bigger question is when are the Alran's getting energy drink helmets 😂. One green one blue and silver?

I'm still wondering why industry went straight for 32, rather than trying a less extreme increment of 1.5'' to a 30.5. It will be interesting and annoying to see 5yrs from now what the ideal wheel size combo will look like for different applications... 30.5/29 for eebs? 32/30.5 for xcountry? 32/27.5 for DH? To be honest, I'd have thought radial tires were an opportunity for companies to play with section height, adding more rubber instead of more rim resulting in something like 29+ tires
