Gearboxes have always had drag issues. E-bikes have always had drivetrain issues This was inevitable and makes a ton of sense really … Ironically, the newest talaria’s espouse their bad ass gearbox’s too. Pegs or pedals? You choose.

New rumor. Canyon has a press release (which was revised afterwards removing MG) that at eurobike they'll have a long travel mtb with a prototype Avinox labled 'MG'. Might be a gearbox motor combo.

Don’t hate the tool. Hate the “tool.” Utilized in the proper context, they are loads of fun. It’s unfortunately too easy to act the fool on one.

they should use actual moto parts... because they are fucking eMotos. I hate those fucking bikes.

You'd be surprised. The Surrons around here are decked out in Fox factory, EXT, etc suspension, anodized MTB parts, TRP DHRs, etc. The overlap in customers is significant.

5atm is the standard. Prosecco is usually around a high 3. @Loisfer yes, sparkling wines have an unwritten standard coming from most places.

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

Excuse my French, but could we fucking please stop calling bikes "analog", "acoustic", or -the worst I've heard- "bio"? Bikes are bikes. Ebikes are something else. Now get off my fucking lawn you punks!

some other deets: 117mm rear 130mm front travel. storage box. Frame made in California in their solar powered factory.

Dont know if this has been posted yet, but the Demo page on specalized.com has been down for a few days.

Can we put the wrap back on?

Long live the Diamondback Knucklebox, eh?

Noticed in the pink site Nukeproof Axess Racing bike check that seatpost is listed as "Rimpact prototype". Seat tube shake-weight incoming?

I'm overdue to write that Telum review, but in short it's phenomenal. If the damper is anywhere near as good as the shock, it will be unreal. I couldn't believe how much better my fork felt with the MRP Lift damper, so I'm totally down for a Vorsprung fork damper.

Better in engineering terms != better in practical terms. There's a lot of people out there with heel rub on 148 frames. I also don't really like the idea of my $400 electronic derailleur being any further outboard than it already is. Sure, 157 is better on paper, but in the real world, 148 works fine for everyone from beginners all the way up to world cup pros.

It's a Pivot, so construction and QC is going to be immaculate and they have pretty dialed kinematics for efficient, aggressive bikes. That Bosch motor and the interface is pretty great too, feels pretty good and are reliable. Other than that it's an ebike with a special seat tube and seat post shim. Big numbers make ebikes happy, so the 800 wh battery, 100 nm torque, and 9000+ price tag are all selling points.
