Nought-e is out: DREADNOUGHT E | A New Level Of Confidence

If I was looking for a bike I wouldn't let it not being an avinox motor be the deciding factor. Buy a bike from whatever shop you like, these are going to break, have errors and software bugs Buy something with the Geo/Travel you want for the riding style you like, this will mean more than the motor Really think about what you want do you want power for short rides or range for longer adventure rides. I still think the Bosch system balance this ratio the best. After riding the m2 system I am not immediately thinking oh I...

Unno updates the Mith with Avinox M2S: LIFE, TURNED ON - THE NEW UNNO MITH Let’s get this out of the way first. Yes, the new MITH makes 130Nm of torque. Yes, peak power hits 1300 watts. Yes, there’s an 800Wh battery and a 508W GaN fast charger that’ll take you from dead to 75% in 90 minutes, full in 2h 25. Cool numbers. Now forget them. Because what actually matters is what those numbers feel like when you’re halfway up a climb you used to dread, and suddenly you’re not counting meters anymore. You’re looking for side hits. That’s...

thanks to your president, i am still not able to ride the fork as the velduro is still on a ship, needing to take a huge u-turn around africa. i changed it because my cousin wanted one and i can't have him have the burlier looking fork. simple as that. and i got a great deal on both of them

I always thought this Lefty demonstration was intriguing. I think the industry has different standards on fork flex these days, but I wanted to try a Lefty after watching this BITD. Let’s also not forget all the wacky moves Aaron Chase used to do with one…

Of all the hills people want to die on in this industry, I think brake fluid is probably the stupidest one......

Radial Rock Razor, that would be cool! But there are better tires on the horizon Trying to determine this tire snapshot from just the side profile is actually pretty hard, especially since we do prototype testing with the Cannondale Factory Team. But i think the boring answer is the correct one in this case, and to me it looks like a Rick. Edit: Found another shot from the same photo shoot. It was a Race Pro Thunderburt... Back to tire school

Flow mountain bike stated it was because of the friction reductions sram employed in the new vivid made the touchdown feature no longer needed. SRAM claims it’s the most supple air shock on the market. Flow said that the touchdown technology was essentially a bandaid fix to friction and flow issues on the previous generation that have since been worked out.

Not really an issue as much as it would be a welcome addition. It is somewhat easy to burp Intend forks by loosening the top nut a bit with a 10mm socket and pushing down. Better than flipping the bike over and using a little zip tie in the wiper seal. The Italian Guy puts bleeders in the crown. Speaking of Intend forks, I was at Bootleg Canyon in Nevada this past weekend and there is a trail feature there known affectionately as The Poop Chute. It's a jagged solid rock waterfall full of notches and ledges. It has a...

I think there’s more to it than weight. I got to ride the TQ Sight and the Avinox Pivot. I think they’re within 3 pounds of one another, both under 50 and despite the Norco having a longer (high pivot) rear end it was still markedly more playful than the pivot. The 800Wh battery stretched out in the downtube makes a big difference in the inertia you have to overcome to get the front wheel off the ground rotating about the rear axle.

Well this is interesting! However, seems like SRAM does not offer any multi-click (rapidfire) mechanical shifters (non-Transmission) anymore...

I am not in the camp of being lighter... 195er myself. but stoked to see 170 lyrik make a return for folks. my wife will be pumped! only bummer.... dang, them some portly lyriks now. gained a bit of weight. borderline old zeb weights

Brake Stuff Break Stuff:

But the way they deliver their power is one of the best things about the Dominions. We've got enough brakes that build power gradually, give me a lot of bite and a fast ramp up.
