It does not, as long as the factory paint is removed responsibly. - Lars

When we developed our SBG geometry and worked with the major suspension suppliers to standardize and bring the shorter crowns to market we were purely focused on single crown bikes. It's taken a few years but it's finally becoming such an industry wide trend we're seeing it trickle down (or up) to downhill forks. These products were a much bigger...

Sounds like you need to get yourself a seatpost bud. They seal those seattubes up pretty well! - Lars

Hey Masjo, Lars here. Our partnership with FMD was a huge thing for us. We weren't looking for a WC DH team, but Marshy gave me a little nudge and insight that they would be a really good fit for us. I've known Marshy since 08 when I was in Europe racing WC's, and he was our mechanic when we...

Spoons, you may not recall but we already made one back in 2017 called the Petrol. I'd link to our product video here but it may be poor form as the link only lives on the other website...

Since the inception of the EWS, there's been only 15 male winners. 6 of those have only won a single race. 6 of the 15 are retired (or at least not racing most of the calendar). So you only have 9 active winners, 6 active repeat winners. To suggest that these are the only riders people have heard of is ridiculous. Furthermore, in terms of reach, one of those active, repeat winners has less than 10k IG followers. Another has just 21k. Cody Kelley has 2.5x more IG followers than these two COMBINED. And in terms of actually selling bikes...

In my opinion, the social (esp IG) influencer personality and content has a shelf life. People are going to catch on to how disingenuous it is, and it’s going to become more and more transparent how ‘advertisey’ it is. When we make a move to work with someone of any stature, be it mega pro to local ripper / good...

A little birdie may or may not have peeped that there is no plan for this bike to make it to the market. FRO, would explain why. Could be an investment in a testing platform for other products. Might seem weird, but Dorel has resources and $$ to burn.

2016 Patrol C size L. The positioning of the rider has to do with the confidence and aggression the person is riding with. A confident rider is going to achieve this unicorn riding position you're referring to whether they are on a bike with a 420 or 450mm CS. The geometry of a bicycle helps, but I think what you're...

I can say with full confidence that what is happening in photo example 'C' has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the front or rear center of the bike is or isn't X dimension. What's happening in that picture was done purely for the sake of the photo, and 100% intentional. The photographer was positioned in precisely the...
