I'm curious.. How does the staff feel about doing the coverage like this? I've personally liked it. Plus, the fact that others have been able to contribute what they saw and liked at the otter is pretty cool...

Idk. I’d argue that the people who are choosing this over say an epic evo or whatever other flexstay bike are the type of people that absolutely want the longest post possible on their “XC” bike. Does seem like a bit of a miss knowing who their target market is.

I hope Vital is doing a no holds barred Cascadia downcountry grudge match between the Spur v2 and Reya.

Anyone see the teaser by Transition for a new release tomorrow? Is it the new Spur?

I would be so much more keen to use DVO products if they moved away from the lime green ano and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Solid 1 week till this rumor ends up on Pinkbike.

Can I be honest, if I can't just click on one thread and read the entire conversation, I probably won't read the forum at all. I find this thread pulls me in and then when I have more time or I'm curious, I check out other threads. But without this main one, I wouldn't bother visiting vital. Wish it were different but I hope I'm at least helping by giving voice to some other people out there. I enjoy catching up on 6 pages of inane comments to find a nugget of cool rumors. Others might be different.

In honor of the 1000th page, we should vote on the best meme of 2025: 👍🏻 for “Crab” 👎🏻 for “6-7” edit: Carcinization is the antithesis of innovation. Maybe we should keep crab talk on the crab talk forum and keep this thread focused on MTB tech rumors and/or innovation.

Not very original, i'll give him 76/100

Transition? How dare you lump the spur in with the rest of those rigs

Thanks for the scrolling format. I love the nerdery, but always give up on having to swipe through.

please keep this format for all photo articles and ditch the slideshow ones, thx

The capable pedal assisted speed of an e-bike on a trail is not doing nearly as much damage to the trail as riders with poor braking skills. Or the group ride that's stomping around the sides of the trail to get videos, making the trail more susceptible to erosion. It's 3mph. I can pee 3mph. I've also had a head on collision requiring facial reconstruction surgery. 3mph wouldn't have made my face any less jacked up.
