3/12/2026 3:00pm for aletsch arena: imho it's not worth it to get their day pass. all the uphill systems in the valley that go to the middle stations can be used with a sbb (train) ticket too, saves a ton especially if one has a half tax pass that gives you 50% on almost everything in switzerland (breaks even when you intend...

3/12/2026 12:23pm they had different prices earlier that day for the 2 options, one was +500eur, probably already said too much so removed it again. so new avinox motor most likely same mounting holes.

I also vouch for Bellwald being the best bike park in Switzerland. Chur is great if you don't mind big jumps and features.

3/11/2026 9:52am i‘d stay in Fiesch for Aletsch, you can pedal over to the small gondola taking you up to Bellwald (best bikepark in Switzerland in my opinion) or you can use the cable cars in town to get up to Aletsch Arena (and back with the train) (look up the last EDR stage for your way down from Bellwald. Top trail!)

Oh man oh man I want to see the weight on that reya. 450mm CS on a truly light bike would be insanely advantageous for tech climbing and huge backcountry missions. That said, quite bummed they chose to make the BB so low. Really should not be a thing on a bike in this class meant to shine on climbs. Gonna be offsetting some of the benefit of the long chain stays on tech climbs. Sad.

3/10/2026 7:21am then put it behind a paywall, if escape collective can make it work for the endurance crowd, then there should be space for a paywalled gravity site too those forks above this post cost 7-9k at cost. make it a series, ask for 10$ for the test and you‘d need less then 1000 ppl to break even

3/10/2026 5:21am testpilot gets paid to do those tests by the manufacturers, that’s their business case

3/10/2026 5:19am why not? you pretty much could get items at cost, ride them and sell them to your readers after the test and don’t lose money. the same way shop rats used to ride a new bike per season for free
