Screw the Fury, I wanna now about the new Sensor. Interesting though, if this will be their new suspension plattform. It looks as if the rocker link moved to within a split seattube. Won't work for trailbikes, so probably not.

Maybe there shouldn't be a comment section on every piece of "news". Sometimes I think you could just post things like this and go, "okay, there's that. And that's it." like linking to a post of some well known athlete. But then again, would there be that much traffic on sites like this or the other? And do we pay...

Does anybody have any Intel on the new GT SENSOR? I've been told they will release it in spring. So there should be, or have been some test bikes out in the wild. But there is nothing to find on the instawebs...

Had a fenix 6 these last 18months. I probably only use 1/4 of it's functionality. I had a suunto ambit 2 since 2014 and it still works great, but they effectively "bricked" it by dropping the desktop software and going over to the app only. Which is a really gimmicky thing that seems like it was made by a marketing dept. The fenix lasts 4 or 5 rides without a charge, really good for backcountry trips with the phone turned off. I like that it has trailforks, so when I'm riding new places, I can chose a route to explore...

I admit I haven't read the whole build up. Just was wondering why it's overlooked. I was hesitant to buy from such an unknown brand, but they take no prisoners, they mean business. Btw. I've read that there is or will be a dealer/customer service in Slovenia. Do you know more?

CG and Forestal are not tinkering anymore, they are up and running. I'm surprised it hasn't been discussed more in here, but ok - it's just an ebike. Technically their Syrion is an 18kg enduro bike with a 60nm motor built by Bafang in cooperation with Forestal and a 360Wh battery, and it rides great, and turned me from eBike...

And rightfully he shouldn't have any regrets! That was outstanding riding from him. I would really like to ask him though, if thinks that at any point it became dangerous to do a fully committed race run and if that would justify to stop, or cancel it midrace. And if not, if he thinks there could be a point at a race to do so.

7/4/2021 11:11pm
Regardless if the jumps where WC-worthy or not. Is there even a protocol how to deal with a bad/deteriorating course? I mean like in ski-racing, if the weather is bad, visibility poor, accidents happening with long delays, races have been canceld midrace or stopped but still counted when a specific amount of riders came down (30 I belief). I´m not...

That may all be true and as long as the riders are well paid and looked after it's all by fair means. If a company does not want to be at the technological forefront and has no need to be in the limelight and is OK if not on the box, that's fine. They support the sport no matter that's even great. It's just that they could have gained a far greater visibility of their athletes with minimal investment. They have never had shiny kits, but as bizutch but it, this year's seems like it sucks up all the light.

Well someone has to say it. What´s up with Giant? they are one of the biggest bicyclemanufactures in the world, have one of the smallest race teams in MTB-DH yet one of the most awesome to watch riders on the team that´s always going to be filmed, and their kit is AWFULL. FULL STOPP. Please somebody tell them.

I think that's a false conclusion. Top Pros bother to show up at any race that matters. That might be for preparation, speed gauge or price purse or bragging rights. They also become top pros because the don't shy away from heavy competition. Imo there's is no fiercer competition than a French Cup besides the WC. Also in Gwins latest...

styriabeef Added a reply to EWS Prize Purse is Woefully Inadequate

6/22/2021 12:57pm
Have you organized an enduro race? Last time I did my main concerns were, do I get the sponsormoney to fund my expenses so if the weather went bad, I wouldn't, or better our club wont loose money. I never thought of prize purses because people would be coming anyway, because they wanted to race. Also I wanted low entry...
