This was great! Crazy fast turnaround, too. Thanks for your timely thoughts on the Downtime Podcast, Jeff. To your point about Markus being at the helm when he alleges that "PE was overly focused on growth," I agree. As I was listening to your 9-minute response, I was thinking about Andreas Kolb, who was likely signed to the 2025 YT MOB sometime around September of 2024, well after Markus came back as CEO in February of 2024. Kolb must have been a HUGE contract and represents YT choosing to double down on their DH and Enduro teams, especially given the...

Dak to Norco would give Norco the carryover they will need when Danny Hart's contract finishes up. I think Danny has to the end 2026 on his contract does he not?

I don't see Jack Moir going to Pivot. Pivot not making money off the DH racing right now and their Enduro team isnt strong enough to be one of the popular big Dawgs. I don't see pivot taking a financial risk such as adding a big name Enduro rider in a sport that's in a transition period. If Jack was...

If he's not riding for them, that's not following, that's stalking.

Today's results plus everyone becoming a huge Dak fan over the last year following along with his recovery... Mondraker not resigning him would be brutal PR wise lol

Can't wait till mine arrives! I have previous generation and man that bike punches well above its weight class. It came along with me to a 1st place in my age category at Galbraith enduro this year and has had to deal with my poor decision making out on the trails all the time and does it without any fuss. Love what Norco has cooked up this new weapon.

Brook since his horrible crash and a decline in his results has always come across in interviews and what not a little salty about his sponsor situations and all the bouncing around he's had to do but doesn't want to pop off about it... I think when your job is no longer guaranteed and you are essentially just risking your...

This could be awesome for suspension techs that come out to more local race weekends and what not. If you have. Very cool.

Just to give Quick response to those wondering about how trek plans to sell these top level bikes at the advertised price. As someone who works at a shop that sells Trek bikes. If you like you can go through online tutorials program called TrekU and once you have completed enough modules, you are awarded employee pricing where you are...

About the whole suspension and patents thingy, does anyone remember when EU said all of the suspension designs do the same thing and therefore do not qualify as patents which lead to a bunch of companies (Canyon, YT, Radon,...) use horst link, they just could not sell the bikes to the States untill the patent expired?

I believe it's not cheap to file a patent and if you are not awarded the patent you don't get your money back so... At this time I'd say "it's the greatest division of government ever, it's great and does amazing things. You should see the people working there. They are Amazing. They do great things, you would love them."
