First, it's true, I've never even ridden an Avinox bike. My ego has no need to be 'right' about the Bosch, but I did choose what I considered the best bike with a great motor system. I would have been fine with an Avinox as well. I think the current and likely the future TQ motors are the top product honestly. The M1 rattled, ate up too much battery (inefficiency was addressed with the M2), and yah the motor system was 1# lighter than the Bosch, but once you add the needed chain ring protection to the Avinox they are...

When the stumpy 15 dropped they did a PB podcast and they also basically said “yeah no evo, it has to special/gnarly to get the evo name” That lasted like less than a year, I think their philosophy is pretty money centric lol.

I believe we're looking into the Push Sub-Chamber in that fork. The knob at the top of the Sub-Chamber closes a valve that either shuts off or opens up that air chamber, which results in more or less air spring ramp from the ambient air inside the coil-sprung stanchion. I never took my Sub-Chamber apart while I had the Nine One here (it's back at Push right now for a top secret tune up), but that image looks a lot like Darren's description of how the Sub-Chamber works. Also worth mentioning that it works exactly as promised. It was a...

This is the topcap of a Charger 3.1 Flight attendant........ Not saying its got RS internals, but the layout is extremely similar

Getting a screenshot on insta reels is super hard! but I spotted this bracket with 2 positions. I got some rough measurements from the those other pictures to estimate the change in Linkage (I don't think the model in there wasn't super accurate either) and yup, it probably increases the AR to 100-120%

We must of missed your memo in the sea2sky. Santa cruz are the best selling ebikes in our store.

So from 1 to 10?

Thinking that shifting across multiple gears is a marketing thing because it doesn't work in practice is just admitting you have no idea how to use a mechanical drivetrain lol.

This sounds interesting, especially the last part about Shimano! Maybe I'm just extrapolating from my own preferences here, but I feel that most MTBers who have been in the sport for a while thought the previous-gen Bosch motors were already powerful enough, and that they'd rather have the lightest possible motor + battery package at that power level than even more power and bigger batteries.

Oh look here's ballz criticising a penis joke Sorry guys I couldn't help it.

funniest (and most accurate?) comment ever on youtube.

I say one way you know you are core if you build frame up (at least some of the time) vs buy a complete bike. Idk why but it seems to me that most of my core friends do that. The real answer is if you ride as much as you possibly can whether it is alone, with friends, pedaling, bike park, good weather or bad. If you want to ride no matter what you are core. Most important is alone. If you don't ride solo you don't really like riding.

You’re only core if you help to build or maintain trails, otherwise you’re just a person using the trails. Obviously it’s hardcore if you do it all yourself. Half of why I go to the gym is to make building and maintaining forest trails easier and faster.

Flats = CORE Change my mind.

Welp, we had a good run here at Vital didn't we.

Was the motor rattle adressed? Its always sus that this is always danced around when new motors come out by most reviewers and only months or years later everyone agrees that this and that motor actually rattles while coasting dh. That's very vital information for a mountainbike!

First up, thank you to the Vital team for presenting our product here! Since a few questions came up, I wanted to chime in and clarify a bit what we mean by the Tune Adjusters. As @Slavid666 analyzed pretty much spot-on, the High-Speed Tune Adjuster changes the port configuration underneath a non-preloaded tapered shim stack. With each adjuster position, one additional port is closed off, changing the hydraulically loaded area of the stack. The shim stack itself stays exactly the same, but the way it is loaded changes, which therefore changes the slope of the resulting force-velocity curve. That is...
