Imagine strapping a pound of weight to your front fork axle... bet it's a pretty noticeable effect on suspension performance

Is 100k actually a carrot? Hardware development is expensive, I'm certain Atherton didn't developed their gearbox bike for less than 100k. I feel like riding a winning platform is more valuable than the prize money.

The derailleur cabal is strong in this thread… Looking forward to the hanging chad getting off my bike one day

I love that chris Canfield is dropping weird bikes all the time now . Titanium DH bikes with gearboxes ? I’m Here for it.

you don't get it, it's a freakin yeti!! 😉 plus it's finally a new highend trail/enduro bike from a major bike brand without a motor 😛

Blah blah blah heard this so many times, I pedal up to enjoy my ride down. Everyone's all about their idlers, heavy a$$ forks and tires etc that make so much more of a difference in the effort on the way up, while offering much less on the way back down than a gear box. Trying to focus on the innovation here. Everyone heard that it's impossible to pedal a bike with a gearbox (mostly from those who read it on the internet or tried it once...). Derailleurs are stupid and if it takes a moped to get rid of...

Damn it if mopeds of all things finally convince the average mountain biker to actually think about not having an 1860's style rear derailleur(*) on their bikes...maybe even try riding a gearbox. *) Apparently they can be used as a step stool recently, I guess in case you need to reach stuff

Shut the fuck up about drivetrain efficiency. Holy shit. Go find a different thread.

As a current gen Megatower owner that looks like the shock tunnel is even bigger. Im sure it fits the big air can shocks.

It may not be a "whole separate sport", but there sure is a "whole separate text thread" for the e-bike riders in my friend circle. Now we rarely have big group rides as the crew is split in two and it's a pain to ride laps with both bike types together. So I'd say its a "whole different discipline" of pedaling a rolling thing with your feet.

Zerode teases a new bike on their Facebook page.

That's 100% not the second colour.

Colorblind guy here so take this with a grain of salt but very similar, maybe same, as Nomad 3: Life is too short for bland ass colorways for my two cents.

sounds like 5 underutilized support resources to me

PS. New saint flat pedals releasing later this month…. Except they are from 2021, when they first released and then quickly got shelved because the axles were breaking. So they finally updated the axles, only took five years 😂

I think my shorts are the Landfarer... they have a drop-in phone pocket and a couple of thigh pockets good for gloves, glasses wipe, etc. Them and the pants have a nice stretchy fabric that doesn't tear in crashes or when a tire buzzes the butt.
