Appreciate the kind words 🙏 that genuinely means a lot. We try. We keep trying. And yeah, when I say we, I really do mean me. Still just one bloke doing everything: product, riders, logistics, emails at stupid o’clock, the lot. No staff, no big safety net. Just belief and stubbornness. The industry doesn’t make it easy for small independents. The big dogs have deeper pockets and louder voices, but that was always kind of the point. Do cool shit, build something authentic, and if it ruffles a few feathers along the way, so be it. I’m proud that Viris...

From Ronan on IG. New fork and shock

Also looks like Crank Brothers wheels, previously they were using Reynolds.

This is the kind of sleuthing the thread has been lacking for a while.

Huge favor, but can you all screenshot and hard post instagram stuff instead of linking. Especially if it’s an instagram story? Some of us don’t have any Instagram and can’t view the links. Plus if it’s a story, it’ll be gone in 24hrs even if you can view it. Cheers mates!

The PB editors' answers are boring as hell anyway... Regarding the answers, I predict: - someone will give Avinox some competition regarding a light and powerful E-bike system - entry level suspension gets better on more fronts (thanks, RockShox!) - more bang for the buck on lower end bikes: good geometry, better suspension, better brakes, decent transmission, mediocre wheels - more SL e-bikes will be released, that makes you question whether you really need a full power one - new young guns will rise in DH racing - Vali won't be so dominant anymore, as she won't find a groove...

I thought this thread had already confirmed Dak to Scott like 5 times ? 😅

Not sure if this is real and if it’s been posted. New decals for Öhlins forks. Looks horrid in comparison to the old decals.

Seems odd that a company that has one single product to offer has the funds to be title sponsor of a factory DH and XC bike teams, but hey, good for them I guess.

Any particular reason you think these are radials?

Chris and Wyn were both saying “Dak to Scott” on the latest Downtime pod.

and they just failed to aquire Flims Laax

Back to crab related rumours. Kavenz has started prototyping their VHP V8 which will be carbon tube and cnc’d lugs. They will be posting a series following along with all the details, similar to what they did when they created the first version of their frame.

downtube storage sounds nice, but hope that doesn‘t make the downtube as thick looking as a light e-bike (looking at you santa cruz).
