It's now Confirmed he's parting ways with Commencal. Retirement I'd say is atleast a year out. He looked much more like his old self in the races we did get to watch this year. I'd bet he puts in atleast one more solid year of racing after how felt after the year he had.

IMO while it is clearly possible to ride like that with 130mm, he just made it very clear to me as to why enduro bikes exist. That was very ragged compared to his usual videos. Some very talented riding though! I wonder if the ups were timed in enduro as well, if this is the type of bikes they would have settled on?

If the EWS was still what it was when it started. For sure we would see shorter travel bikes on the circuit. Courses early on had a lot more up and down to them. As for travel lengths relative to what's needed. I think what Elliot demonstrated more than anything was, that for the majority of riders a 130 bike could very easily take care of their ride needs. Maybe 10% of riders out there can achieve the speed and bike handling skills this guy has.

It sucks that we not only lost Stevie, but Devinci's commitment to DH, in one moto crash.

Anyone heard any rumblings of Katy Winton leaving Treks Enduro team? Recently she has been posting about her 4 years with Trek and how every year played out. She mentions 2020 being the end of her contract year so is she gonna stay or is she gonna move on?

Sram provide a full package more often than not, bikes will come will full sram components, having that constant must help with data collection, Knowing every bike has the same brakes and drivetrain. They also really only provide a few teams with support, so it’s less frames to collect data on? While fox and ohlins are general suspension who have a wide knowledge base it could be said that sram are MTB specialists. They own shockwiz and have produced MTB suspension for decades, I’m sure their engineers are pretty capable dudes. I just don’t think unless a ride has a...

The same data set that brought us Live valve? Cause that doesn't seem to have translated from motor sports to Bikes as well as they were hoping lol. I understand where you are coming from and what you are saying but this whole narrative I keep seeing in the forum's that FOX is the only company the bleeds racing and...

Just because RS don't have a YouTube video series with a guy in a sprinter van and a friendly dude in his backyard doesn't mean RS doesn't care about the details. There are plenty of riders on the circuit running RS who demand the same if not more from their suspension. Let's not forget Amaury Pierron absolutely killed everyone two...

Kade said in a podcast last week he's still with Trek for another year. So if anyone is moving off trek it's Charlie Harrison. I can't really see loris going back to specialized he left that team once already. As for screen shots of teams he follows... He also follows 100% mucoff as well so...

That seems a bit unfair to say he doesn't put any effort into racing as he has three top 20's and if I remember correctly from last year there were a few times he seemed on pace until punctures and crashes etc and seems to be clear that he's not where he wants to be when he finishes off the pace, that being said redbull sponsorship probably means he will be invited to rampage and other freeride events so may shift that way regardless of race results.
