I own 2 Giant bikes. They used to be everywhere and every second bike was a Giant. Nowadays I hardly see any. What happened to the Giant of cycling.

Oh my golly gosh. That is the crazy club. Welcome to Darkfest 2026. Can you please show some side views of the jumps with a person standing there to give you a perspective of the MEGA SIZE of the earth works. This is in my opinion the BEST EVENT of the year. Sam and Theo shaking with fear.

I have a Production Privee OKA (2016). Very similar to the Shan. Chromoly. Production Privee is based in Andorra and I’m not sure where the frame’s are made. Bike is as tough as and can handle a lot of abuse. Your question makes me think you should go with a big mainstream manufacturer for your peace of mind.

Boxxer more hassle with alignment. USD forks have been on moto since the 80s so all the R & D already done.

I have a 2017 36 factory with pinch bolts. Also 100% spring nerd with smashpot. I find the RS axle with threads at each end on the boxxer

I’m still trying to figure out why it’s taken approximately 40 years to get to usd forks on mtb. All the tech has been there for years.

Maybe some people are missing the point. Comparison is an S Works Levo is $24,000. A really good new motorcycle is $12,000. The point is real or perceived value. Does the cycle really look like a value or a depreciation monster. (NZD)

In October of 2022 I actually brought a new motorcycle instead of updating my 2018 e-bike. Now the only problem I have is that motorcycle insurance has doubled in price since then. A decent ebike is still triple the price of 2018 but I’m lucky that my ebike still goes the same as the day I bought it new.

I’ve got the Chinese ones on my 150mm bike and the DH bike has the DH casing with the softest compound available.

Lots of people seem to be using the Continental tyres. I have them on 2 of my bikes but are they that much better than other brands.

So Hans is trying to sort out something that is continually evolving because he knows something we don’t.

More of Theo please. He’s such a natural clown in a good way. Every time he laughs it makes me laugh to.

A boutique bike fits a niche market. A mainstream bike is designed to fit a wide range of weights and riding skills. It is more about setting up every aspect to make you fit the bike.
