8/6/2025 8:14am What brands have announced using the DJI motor in bikes coming to the US market? Amflow (obviously), Forbidden, and Commencal. Is that the full list? Unno -- but I haven't seen confirmation that they are coming to the US as of yet.

6/24/2025 9:55am I haven't had time to watch any of these deep dive videos, so this is a hasty judgement, but I gotta say that products like this make me think we're starting to completely lose the plot of mountain biking. Who wants to spend $2000 on JUST THE FORK for their mountain bike? And that fork likely requires you to get...

6/18/2025 10:17am $435 retail for a replacement of the bottom-tier derailleur that will ship on cheap bikes seems completely daft. Joe-shmo is going to quit mountain biking after he smokes his first derailleur and doesn't want to pay up to replace it.

I am aswell, we still have gx AXS kits available. Same tech, similar speed and a no clutch proper clutch setup BUT Quite a bit cheaper, Currently you can Get GX axs for half the price of the XTR kit - whats the benefit of XTR? I Feel they've gone for the "LOOK we have fast shifting" even though Sram had the same kinda thing 5 years ago. I really like shimano drivetrains(other than the derailleurs breaking at the first blade of grass they hit) I was expecting good things from shimano for their new Wireless drivetrain and new Brakes...

5/31/2025 2:30pm Vital team might need to rethink guaranteed games of Pro fantasy if the spots aren't filling up? Currently 5 people at $20 a piece ($100); guaranteed total payout of $160. Somehow that doesn't seem like a winning business strategy.

TBH i am a bit surprised about all the positiv feedback for the Orbea bike To me the bike is just boring and has nothing really going for it. I mean i looks nice, but it's just a very normal split pivot design, No high pivot (wouldn't buy), no fancy kinematics and all those annoying enduro standards. Adding weight in a clan way is nice, but i wonder if you couldn't just make an alluminum frame in the first place

Possibly related, in the recent MBR video about the new Levo, there is this foam model next to the one of the designer's desks: In the (possibly relevant) rendering above the models, it looks to be a bike with a single crown:
