100% Agree. Imagine walking into your local bike shop wanting to update your aging mondraker enduro bike. - Hello, I'm looking for a new enduro bike. - Ah yes, take a look at this Foxy. - No, sorry I must not have been clear, I want an enduro bike, like 160mm of travel, not a trail bike. -Foxy it is! Oh well, we call it the superfoxy now and it is 170/160mm. -Oh ok, sorry I didn't keep up with the name changes, but can I still get a Dune? -Of course sir, right this way, 170/165mm hard hitter, beautiful...

Regarding “derailments;“ Every discussion in here is about tech and innovation. If we are discussing damper designs, rubber compounds, frame materials, etc. How are any of those discussions a derailment? Does everything HAVE to be a rumor? I haven’t seen anybody post a movie review, a story about a riding trip, or the current weather in Iowa. It’s all relevant. Funny thing about all those links people put up to discuss specific topics. Nobody engages with them. This thread is always active and always interesting. If rumors are sparse, what’s the harm?

Hot take: MTB tires are a luxury item and priced accordingly. Edit: @saskskier beat me to it.

Having run plenty of demo days I'd say it's about 30% just having a go on an expensive bike for free, 20% just telling you what is wrong with the bike, 20% "just confirming that my bike IS better", 20% "I'm thinking of replacing my 2011 bike in the next 3-5 years" , 9% having one of the bikes on a shortlist but "I'm going to buy whatever I get the best deal on" and 1% actually going on to buy something from the demo. A couple a year was more than enough to never want to do it again.

Marketing (the department where demo programs live) is typically the first place to get their budget cut when sales slump. A friendly reminder that not all marketing is evil. Free demo programs are pretty great for customers.

I built up an Ibis HD4 frame years ago and had issues with a lower pivot creaking. After reassembling and torqueing to spec, the issue persisted so I dropped in to their factory with no notice/appointment to see if they had some advice. The guy at the front desk called someone on the phone, and a dude came down from his office to see what the issue was. He told me that he had engineered the frame and acknowledged that the torque spec had proven to be too low. He put my bike in the stand and replaced the (titanium)...

I usually get sold on a brand due to their customer care. Cannondale screwed me over and made a handful of empty promises to me as a 12 year old, I’m now 36, and have made sure to go out of my way to never buy a single Cannondale related product, and steer everyone I had the chance to, away from a Cannondale product. On the flip side, I needed a bike in a hurry earlier this year and bought a used Banshee. I emailed their generic email address asking about shock tunes as the stock shock was blown. Within...

I'm not anti innovation, but I am pro choice. Having choices removed is a step backwards IMO.

This is some superb mtb material right here. I think as the silhouettes of bikes seem to be converging on a smaller set of options, this kind of writing is more and more required in mtb-media. The durability aspects are also really fantastic reporting. Without that, this review(?) is a 9/10. With? 10/10!!

that’s because enduro mtb are some of the least critical reviews out there and industry bootlickers. „It looks so clean, sick!“ way too much focused on being hip and bros and pushing the newest shit on people compared to other media outlets.
