I'm curious.. How does the staff feel about doing the coverage like this? I've personally liked it. Plus, the fact that others have been able to contribute what they saw and liked at the otter is pretty cool...

The Shredline Eden. Full details coming next week. I'll try to answer questions each evening as I'm at the show and have zero service there. If you are at the show stop by EXT, Spank or Gates to see one or find us walking around. This variant is set up at 164mm rear (170 front) using a 230x60 stroke. The Eden can be set up in six different travel modes, two wheel sizes and high/low settings.

Yep, they look exactly like the variable hubs they used for their 32 inch wheel stiffness study https://www.newmen-components.de/32-Zoll

The first round of the 2026 iXS European Downhill Cup is taking place in Portugal this weekend. With World Cup #1 just around the corner, there are some Elite heavyweights getting their last cobwebs shaken among a field of regional racers. Rick Schubert cruised the pits to see if there was anything interesting. Lo and behold, there was. A lot of the bikes and brands aren't super familiar to us stateside, so drop your knowledge in the comments.

4/11/2026 9:57am Been on the Spank Spike 33 grips, they have the length and girth my hands are comfy with. I ran the Sensus Meaty Paws until my grip strength whisky throttled and broke the inner plastic sleeve.

The V+R Racing rider lineup for 2026... TL;DR It's Raina Logar, Zanna Logar and Aletha Ostgaard! Most folks on this forum are familiar with V+R, but briefly for those who aren't, Virginia and Ryan (V+R) are two DH superfans living in the Pacific Northwest. 2026 marks our seventh season sponsoring and supporting downhill racers and our fourth season at the World Cup level. Crazy! For '26 we've re-signed Aletha Ostgaard for her fourth season with V+R Racing! Ally races for Canyon Collective. Zanna Logar has also re-signed for a second season with V+R. Zanna races for Frameworks. So cool! Maybe...
