This is one thing I’ve been wondering about. To get say 1lb to have a natural frequency in the realm of braking bumps you need stupidly stiff springs. So stiff they are a little hard to find with meaningful amounts of deflection.

The new shimano brakes are on a lot of bikes......launch imminent.

I like the vertical scroll format way more than the slide show! Way easier to browse on mobile.

Yup, no Manitou, EXT, Push, Intend, Bright Racing, MRP, or Temu knock-offs. But that just means they're on the list to review in the future 🤙

No Manitou? Lame...

Agreed, I run 35.6 lbs and it's worth every once!

36lbs is VERY normal for a properly equipped enduro bike. The lighter ones have parts that wont hold up (especially tires) and are expensive builds (most riders can't all afford high end cassettes and wheels that save weight). For most people, this is the actual weight of an enduro bike.

Devinci's new Spartan High Pivot (HP) launched the day our Test Sessions began. Devinci's enduro racers have been using the Spartan platform to take on the Enduro World Series for some time. It was with their feedback that the Spartan moved to a high pivot bike, still utilizing the Split Pivot design. The main focus with the Spartan HP was to make a bike that was more comfortable at speed and could still move about the mountain efficiently. Strengths Makes rough terrain disappear Cool, calm, collected confidence Pedaling efficiency is superb All the grip, all the time Weaknesses Not light...

Well, its part of their brand identity, just like fox uses Orange, ohlins uses gold and formula has purple. 🤷
