Frameworks, is the first team of the year to win in both elite categories, impressive for being a little team and big win for Neko and obviously Newkirk, plus Asa on the podium in mens. Not only is the north American streak somehow still going but Newkirk being the first American to take one in 20 some years is also impressive. Who thinks Finn is possibly on a Bruni streak now? Specialized has to be stoked and with Bruni out I'm sure he's getting all the tricks and treasures of being number one rider on the team.

I’m very scared of a dhf on the front. Pretyfun as a back tire though.

I will only ride a dhf on the rear.

This opinion is several years out of date. Incidentally that’s how out of date new Shimano products are.

It goes in the right direction for thickness, but definitely not for quality.. Stamped rotor for that price? Nah. In the end, once the rotor is bedded in, it probably provides 99% of the power of a laser cut rotor, but it takes longer to bed in, looks horrible and worst of all, cheap. Aliexpress rotors that cost 10% look way better .... Do better Shimano, you're lagging way behind everyone else.

i'm ready for the dislikes, but hell no, 262 gr for a 200 rotor is nuts, plus, it doesn't look flush just like the cheap shimano rotors that seem stamped, and the price is nuts too for what it is, Radic HD rotors are cheaper, thicker ( 2.3mm ) and 70gr lighter per rotor... i mean 140gr just on the rotors without any sacrifices and a better quality rotor overall, meh, i feel shimano has lost it in the last few years

That I've lived long enough for bar ends to come back into fashion! What a time to be alive!!! At least they have improved how they look I guess?

Entire drivetrain industry scared that they already made the best mechanical components years ago and there is little room for improvement. Sandbagging the weight and material preserves the tier structure.

The difference between the OG 26x2.5 DHF and current day 2.5wt DHF is wild for those old enough to have ridden both. My enduro Chainsaw came with a DHF and that thing could not be removed fast enough, utterly terrifying experience

"However, it's rocking some dated clutch technology that makes the $35 price jump to the 7200 models seem like a no-brainer." lol wut? I would pay $35 extra to have the old shimano clutch instead of the dual spring.

Madrone time.

Code haters are just exhausting people. Codes are fine, always will be. Just because a maven exists. Remember, at one point WC downhillers had guides on their bikes. And guides suddenly became the worst brakes of all time the same day codes got released… time is a flat circle

Will this finally bring the industry over to 200 mm over 203 mm?

Mavens take massive shit on Saints, in terms of braking power.
