I hope everyone that made a complaint about the FREE redbull coverage over the years, wishes they did not. Redbull changed the entire landscape of DH and XC racing. Huge resurgence for both sports, in terms of viewership since Redbull got involved. They built hype, excitement and did it well. It is an incredibly hard sport to cover, logistically and they got better and better. UCI owes redbull a debt of gratitude. Too early to tell what will come of this, perhaps DiscoTV will lead us to a whole new audience? and that can be good. I just don't know...

red bull media house is definitely not small, but it's fairly focused on sport/human achievement. red bull is also a private company. discovery is publicly traded with a variety of other channels (or whatever they're called) like animal planet, hgtv etc. they also own GMBN (play sports group), too, so maybe that can only help. some background on what discovery sports says it will be https://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-newsroom/discovery-sports-unv… (from that page) [i]"Discovery Sports’ services engage fans and broad audiences in more than 200 markets and in over 20 languages, connecting them with the greatest sporting events in the world. This includes being...

Good spot… definitely something new. the crown is different too.

New Rockshox line coming in April supposedly. Updated Charger damper, revised lower design, lower leg bleed ports on ultimate level forks, and upgraded seals. Boxxer will be 38mm. It’s tough to see in photos with shadows but there is no reason for the DH fork to be 35mm with today’s World Cup tracks. Edit- New super deluxe shocks featuring the same adjustments as the new charger dampers.

Is this just me or does is troy brosnan running a new set of lowers on that blackbox boxxer as they kinda look like zeb lowers? maybe a blackbox 38mm boxxer

who says he isn‘t? just cause you don‘t see vlogs about it doesn‘t mean he isn‘t also testing. but to be fair, IFR doesn’t have the best track record lately providing every team rider with protos at the same time.

Your pivot must be this high to race

Might get in trouble for this but I was able to get my hands on this leaked photo of the bike uncovered.

Prop. Also freight is a key issue, but the routes from Kaohsiung to Tacoma and Nagoya to Hamburg differ. One person's overseas is another person's other overseas. I see Victor Sandrin has updated his CV. Welcome, Rage

Well, you either set up expansion when you can swing it or you don't. No doubt the North American stock will be very low for some time, but opening a new arm of business is a long term move that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with an immediate stock issue or short term problems. This would have been mapped out years ago in a business plan and heavily invested in it then, it's not like last year they decided to open up an entirely new operation. Every bike company is dealing with the shortage issue, it's not really that...

Maybe best place to live if you have travel time. Only a few hrs from so many destination spots and the local trails in camas are pretty decent for an afternoon rip.

Vancouver WA doing a good job attracting bike industry.

I certainly don't have both rumours threads short cuts on my home screen. I absolutely do not.

not tech rumors of the future but a look back at bikes from Interbike 2005 (only posting here b/c i know a lot of you just come straight to this forum). https://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/INTERBIKE-2005-Throwback,13590…

Think how many posts there have been about it on this site alone. Covering it up has generated loads of interest about what is under there; is it just a session? Is is Nico’s bike? Is it the new Intense proto? Where are the pivots, it’s ABS, it’s Horst link, it’s VPP? Etc. Good or bad there has been a lot of publicity about to just from the first initial ‘spy shot’.

a better photo of the intense proto, and confirmed Vee tires
