I've thought for some time that he's more interested in $$$ than wins. But hey, he's getting older and would probably struggle to get another deal as good as the current one, even with a few more wins to his name.

I'm actually wondering why tire companies don't provide their athletes who (for some reason) don't use their product with ”tire stickers” that can be glued to whatever rubber they have on the bike. For instance, you are feeling safer with the DHF than with the Hellkat? Here's a ”Kenda Prototype” logo for your tires! Mx

Gwin chose brands that aren't 'the best' for the following reasons: -Smaller companies willing to pay him more and/or pay royalties on tires like the Pinner -Smaller companies willing to let someone like Gwin direct their R&D and steer them to develop exactly what he wants. Which (in theory) could be a huge advantage. This also results in 'Gwin' tires that he can get royalties on. He has said he loved the Butcher and some things from the Minions, which is why he created the Aquila with Onza. Then that relationship fell apart for some reason and I'm assuming Kenda...

Here's the full announcement, Mondraker making another splash, nabbing up one of the hottest young riders in the World Cup right now: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/Tuhoto-Ariki-Pene-Joins-MS-Mondraker,5031

tuhoto on MS confirmed!!!

Aaron Gwin like good $$ more than good tires. All of the components his team run go to the highest bidder.

He should get sharpie on board

I don't understand why Aaron Gwin hates good tires

I kinda would MTB switched to F1 rules for tyres. There's your set for the weekend, there is your dry, wet and inters. This is the brand everyone is riding, crack on. I know marketing and all but i'd wager bad tyres hold riders back more than any other product.

This thread is such a pile of bullshit.

In the time it took Old mate to hand polish that "A" on the headtube, Some 14 year old in Cambodia has layed up the latest S-Works Kenevo main triangle!

Personally, I think it’s great. I wish the U.S. would lay down some authority too. There might be a few riders who opt not to get vaccinated, but I don’t think it will be any of the top contenders. Bring on the racing!

New Megatower and Bullit are pushed back to end of spring/early summer, was supposed to be early spring. New revised Heckler in the next month or two. Updated geo, specific rear ends for MX or full 27.5", bigger Santa Cruz branded battery,EP8 across the board.

Not sure but pretty sure that guy sucks.

Megatower or Bullit… but nice colour and full fox.

Volvo is an iconic sponsor in the MTB world. Just a few names that rode for (Cannondale) Volvo: Anne-Caroline Chausson Cédric Gracia Tinker Juarez Alison Sydor Cadel Evans Missy Giove Myles Rockwell Brian Lopes Not too shabby

Not really a good fit in my opinion… First sponsor change of the year that seems weird.

Would have been nice for Devinci to out some money into somebody relevant
