This is where I'm at with radials these days. They are great in a specific use case (like our PNW winters) but outside of that I prefer standard casings.

Is the Shredda Front essentially a cut Dirty Dan in Radial casing then?

Hi my name is Abe and I’m a sweaty guy. My wife got me a subscription to the Vital gear box (bring it back once a quarter) one year for my birthday, and I have used the molecule helmet spray ever since. Keeps things fresher and not stinky. On sequential day rides I use it lightly, on very warm days maybe an extra spray.

Now ya tell me!! Thanks Richard…😂

I put my radial Trail TCs back on after having reverted to HR3 EXO+/ DHR2 DD for a few weeks. Jesus, the squirm/vagueness in the back is sketchy AF. I had forgotten just how weird the radial Trail is in the back. The rear just felt like it was wandering all over when climbing, and then randomly steps out in corners before catching (especially flat corners). Lots of grip, then zero and rapidly sliding, then tons of grip again. For some reason, it doesn't do that on the front for me. It's like the sensation of the dead zone a...

I'd like if someone with actual insider info can comment but my impression is that radial casings are not used much at all in WCDH, certainly nowhere near 'on every podium'. The only time I've actually seen a radial Tacky Chan was on Reece and Hattie's bikes in South Korea. Never seen one on a commencal. I'm not 100% on whether the fronts are sometimes radial but the fact that everyone is using cut Dans very frequently with "no plans to release a radial Dirty Dan" makes me think probably not. IMO a radial casing in the rear at WC...

Well from team muc off atleast Amaury have been running radials for the past two years, Myriam and the Alran brothers maybe less than that. So there is plenty of podiums. I'd bet that even the Dan he was using is an radial tyre.

Good eye! I didn't notice the claw knobs. I believe Amaury was also on a cut Dan during his winning run in Val di Sole 24: As it stands, I don't believe radial tires have made it onto a DH podium (or even a practice/quali run for that matter unless anyone knows otherwise?)

Cannibals, my favourite summer tyre are on sale in the uk for £22 (less than half price)at the moment which makes me wonder if they are clearing stock ready for a refresh

Good to know. Guess I'll configure Turbo to mimic eTMB+ as far as power delivery for now.

Just took at Teewing Turbo Force for a ride. Its Teewing's 150/160mm bike with the Avinox motor. Very nice bike for $6kMSRP. Motor is so quiet and massively tunable. Under 50 pounds. 800watt battery. One of my local shops is now a dealer. For that price it becomes something to consider for sure.

FOX just dropped the Transfer Neo E-Optimized dropper for Specialized Levo’s that gets connected directly to the main battery. They say that integration with ‘other popular drive units are currently in development for launch in 2027.’ The post maintains the same adjustability like analog Transfer posts, where you can drop travel by 25mm in 5mm increments. It’s offered in travel lengths from 125-240mm. Pricing Transfer Neo E-Optimized Factory Series: $659 USD / $939 CAD / $1099 AUD Transfer Neo E-Optimized Performance Series Elite: $589 USD / $839 CAD / $999 AUD Wiring Harness/Cable: $35 USD / $50 CAD / $59...

That's the best compromise for a removable battery; however it's been noted by at least one reviewer (JKW) that I have read, that this style of battery removal, notably reduces ground clearance and increases undercarriage strikes.

All i can confirm here is that it does not look like someone took a chainsaw to it, but they have not taken a spartan approch to the design. I think it's going to create a big bang when it drops.

Thought it was familiar, your memory is working better than mine lol. They've been prototyping for a while, wonder how close to production it is. I also hope this means return of devinci as a real core brand.
