Eh, I'd be absolutely shocked if Specialized shows any real weakness through this period of time. While its true they have significantly discounted product for ~12 months, they also have ~40 white collar positions open throughout the world. Usually you see companies go on a full hiring freeze if there are real material weaknesses. To add, Id also bet you pull all high dollar racing efforts if cashflow is really bad. I think we sincerely underestimate the margins a vertically integrated brand like Specialized has the ability to sell at. While they may not be making a lot right now...

Thank you. Yeah Id love to buy an all mountain Troy from them that they make in house like the Chainsaw. At the moment in the US Im trying to find an Orange. But man those are hard to come by. (Yeah Im a little weird.)

Haven't been able to watch the video, but Schroeder's podcast was rad! It totally embodies what it feels like to be at the Otter, including the wind and sunburn. Major fomo not being there this year and this did just enough to chill me out. Keep going!

Looks like option three is winning out and I agree. I guess it all comes down to, will it suck when you don't have bikes on the back? Also 1 1/4", dude what you doing. I can ship you an old 2" off my element. Full disclaimer, im not a car guy, i just mainly wanted to razz you about the small adapter.

This is the real discussion we should be having. Lift it to the moon and drive it like you stole it.

i wouldn't care if this was anyone but you. i have no advice to offer but would love to see the end result. also i'd pitch in a few pesos for you to upgrade to a proper 2" receiver hitch.

People thought Zaugg had left the company, but what actually happened was designers at Scott hid him by integrating him with his desk in the hopes it would provide his office with a cleaner look.

As a fellow short legger- I really like the sqlab 612 and active component. Lower back main is hugely minimized. Also the various seating positions are a big plus for enduro riding as you can sit upright and soft pedal without feeling the saddle up your ...

You got me excited, until I went looking on where to put sunglasses and they don't seem to have a good option. That's a big no-go. If it doesn't function well, I won't use it.

Here are links to new Epics and XC Flight Attendant: https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/bikes/specialized/epic-evo-48446… https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/rockshoxs-xc-flight-attenda… Disclaimer: I grew up racing downhill, and like most folks on Vital, I prefer gravity-focused bikes/riding. I pedal, but usually as a means to access descents, and I'm typically on 140mm+ bikes. Showing up at an XC press camp with flat pedals and a trail helmet was pretty comical. I figured I'd like the EVO more since I enjoy pushing bikes on descents. But turns out, I really underestimated what XC bikes are capable of, as the Epic blew my doors off. It was fun to check out...
