Look how far forward the motor is on the Crestline bikes though.

Yeah crabs are basically the horst link bikes of the animal world. Everything eventually evolves to crab. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation

Wowzers, 490/495 mm reach in a large and 450/455 for a medium, maybe some people will love that but that feels like to large of a jump between sizes,.

Got to ride my countershox today for the first time: There‘s definitely a noticeable change in how the front end rides and tracks, not comparable to anything I could achieve with suspension setup or something else. The front wheel is in contact with the ground a lot more times and it takes the harsh impact out of big compressions. Only did a couple runs but keen to try it more over full days when arm pump becomes an issue. I want to try to make a mount for the rear swingarm to try how it feels on the unsprung mass...

BOS S(uspension)… no need to get rude…

East Coast cat 1 old guys have to comPEAT with a former world champ!! HAHAHA

Initial Impressions - Riding on a SJ Evo w Cascade Link, Float X, 18 degree setting. 1) It certainly does something. Others have said you feel like the bike rolls a little faster, and I agree with this. 2) The bike you put it on will have a big impact on how useful it really is. Obviously, the more kickback the bike has the more this product will matter. 3) I don't want to sound like a wet blanket, but most casual riders aren't going to notice a massive difference. I'll keep testing and reserve my right to change my...

is it close enough to the battery and/or motor that they act as a burrito warmer?

I feel like a big driving force behind a lot of the branded suspension designs was the FSR/Horst Link patent closing off the use of the best layout to other brands; now that protection has gone a lot of brands have adopted that layout. It would not surprise me if more brands move towards the classic 4-bar layout as it's a versatile solution. Not sure if Santa Cruz will be rolling this out over the whole range just yet.

"We know our e-bike customers don't care or even know what VPP is so here's a bike that says SANTA CRUZ on it." (Am I too cynical?)

I really don't want to do this to us... I really don't. But it's because forums are for old people now. Young people making shit income would probably be weirded out by this 'old format'. Because its not tiktok/reddit. Again, I hate to do this lol

If we are going to use electronics on our suspension can we use it for position sensitive or speed sensitive damping? Fox: "Best we can do is an automatic remote lockout"

Competitive Pokemon was not on my Vital bingo card for today lol

Hold up… You carry a spare derailleur when you ride?!? Are your trails on Mount Doom or something?

After thinking about it, I’m surprised that the World Cup (either XC or DH) don’t have a stop in Taiwan since that’s where the bike industry is based. Similar to the moto industry making sure that the SX and MX series start in SoCal.

Maybe, but the Taiwanese guy told Wyn he'd never ridden anything like the track in Andorra, in the end he was 34 seconds off the pace. Bottom line is there's no way you can tell me competition is as strong in Asia as it is in Europe, Australasia or North America.

Waaaaaaaaasup guuuuuuuuuuuuys, It's me Matt Jones and I'm going to be racing a World Cup Downhill race.......but with 24" wheels, it's going to be so lit, i'm feeling very demuure hahahahahah I'm amazing...... but wait for it.......I'm driving there in my Lamborghini.......I know craaaaazy right.Smash that like button and please for the love of god I've got 5 kids to feed now, buy my merch.
