Im gonna hold out for the Genie tuned mass damper and the Genie O-Chain

Now that is a tech rumor!

New Specialized Enduro will drop early summer of 2027. It will come specced with a genie zeb fork. It will have a Genie vivid air, that is mounted vertically directly in front of the seat tube. The rear layout will look similar to a 2012 era Demo 8, but with a link that comes around the seat tube to the top of the shock.

Congrats on getting married this week. I thought you should know that the AI art at the top made be barf and I couldn't read your article for fear of seeing more.

I personally loved watching the people ready to hammer that "flat" section. Man...this sport has gotten so far away from the pedaling aspect, that when you folks see it on video it bums you. Not even BMX can rival the attention to detail & commitment to excellence that is a powerful, commited DH bike sprint across shallow ground. I can still HEAR the creak of bottom brackets as raw horsepower is laid to bear on a set of cranks in person & the moan the gear makes as a powerful set of legs pushes the chain into the teeth! #powerispassion

Having no interest in pushbikes these days, I care very little about most on that list. However specialized have to release a new levo & it better be bloody good after the disaster that was the gen4. They literally destroyed their brand with that model after 10 years of market dominance.

I am going to come out and say this, Linear is good. Depending on the size you ride the geo is pretty good as well. Some people will like the modular-ness?? of the bike. I started on the std levo went to the cc link and now on the evo link. The evo link is def the best for me. I sold the cc-link it felt like it used the travel too easily and was hitting false bottom because of how progressive it was. Also it made running a lot of compression for support feel worse. Just my 2 ¢...

Heavier than the old one (52+ lbs for S-Works models), which was also a pig. Same dumb super linear suspension setup that requires their proprietary shocks. Chasing Avinox in power number wars, meaning the huge battery is required and range suffers. The Levo 3 was very common around where I live (and also developed a terrible reputation due to reliability), and I've seen almost none of the 4s. This despite Specialized leaning hard on the local shops to try and get them to sell more of the 4s, but people just aren't interested. People around here are either buying whatever...

I worked at Fox during the acquisition of Marucchi and can say these were the reasons behind it: Diversify out of the bicycle industry During COVID obviously there was a huge boom and bust cycle in the cycling industry and Fox was really just along for the ride. Record quarters followed by huge slumps. The C-suite decided to aquire a company outside of the cycling industry to hedge against further industry specific disruption. The SSG division of fox stands for Speciality Sports Group, and they wanted to cover more than one sport. There were perceived synergies in the product lines...

I mean, it's not that confusing... 😆 2014: Easton-Bell Sports sold its baseball and softball division to Bauer Performance Sports ($330,000,000) 2014: Race Face buys Easton Cycling ($?), Fox buys Race Face and Easton Cycling ($30,000,000) 2016: Easton-Bell Sports sells Bell and Giro (and Blackburn) to Vista Outdoor ($400,000,000) 2020: Rawlings acquired Easton Diamond Sports from Peak Achievement Athletics (formerly Bauer Performance Sports) ($?) 2022: Vista Outdoor buys Fox (the other Fox) ($540,000,000) 2023: Fox (this Fox) buys Marucchi (whose logo looks like Manitou and name sounds like Marzucchi, which is how people frequently mispronounce Marzocchi –– which they also...

Completely disagree. I was absolutely gutted that Finn and Jackson didn't make it through, but it's just a testament that the level of riding and competition is absolutely crazy these days (particularly on the men's side). Like, on any given weekend, anyone in the top 20 could be on the podium. This has been one of the most exciting seasons in memory, BECAUSE there aren't any guarantees or sure bets.

The UCI couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Fucking useless morons.

According to your own brilliant AI post (which I understand you may not have been able to read), here are some similarities vs. differences: Shared between Norco Team DH & Canyon Sender Frose Stock High-Pivot Domn Differences, Sender vs. Team DH, respectively: Long: 125mm vs 41SMM Root Pivot: 927MM vs S67MM Ligh Pivot CB vs Low Pivot SD And some specs that may help differentiate between them: Sender: Tech Sper 18.0 min High-Pivot Layout: 72.5mm High Pivot Layout: 830mm RRID8T: 325mm Team DH: High SSFR: 7S.8mm Tean-Pivot Suspension: 2S.5mm Tean-Pivot Suspbnrti: 36Smm Rull DK18K2: 13S Shops Now please stop posting.

I cruised the pits today and made my amateur PIT BITS here: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/evans-whistler-pit-bits

If the new Transition isn't spotted in the Santa Cruz parking lot, I'll be extremely disappointed..

So Frameworks is collecting all the fastest riders of 2011?
