For me this is a deal breaker. Not because I need/want electronic shifting, I just love that there is only 1 derailleur hanger that I can use on all of my bikes.

Perhaps, but it is really nice to be able to just go into a shop and buy a UDH when it gets damaged rather than having to order frame specific hanger.

All the marketing buzzwords, but very little actual information.

I can deal with not having a UDH fine as the adjustable dropouts would be cool. Can't get myself over the head tube swoop/soft kink it has. Reminds me of old Lapierres or old Fezzaris.

Do we? How bout' this -Inverted (clearly) -39mm lowers -147-176mm travel adjustable in 7mm increments, done internally, can only be done at Push's shop -CNC'd CSU, that are bonded to the upper tubes using loads of good intentions -HSC, 47 clicks -LSC 3 clicks -HSR, 9.7 clicks -LSR only adjustable internally, requires several model specific tools, like a 10mm socket (you know yours is mssing) easier to send to Push -Axle made of unobtainium, with a special 7 sided octagonal design said to increase torsional stiffness by 36.89% over previous model, with proprietary axle sizing, to fit readily available 120mm...

As a V1 owner, they can redesign the shock tunnel and linkage like the V2 Druid so it doesn't eat rocks and crack itself. I'm just glad there's experienced guys locally that can repair carbon fibre holes. Better frame storage and polishing up the little "newer bike company" type design issues would be amazing. If it's a bigger version of the V2 Druid, I think it would hit everything that needs to be done.

best bike I've ever had was a 2014 Devinci Wilson, bikes today are still in it's shadow IMO.

i'm still riding my xprezo furax from 2010. once out of curiosity I compared it to a newer bike (commencal supreme, i think v4). almost all the dimensions/measurements were within a couple mm or a degree or so for angles, with the exception of reach and wheelbase. both were something like 3.5" / 90mm longer on the supreme. so second the length difference being the primary thing aside from wheelsize. i was fortunate that there is enough clearance in my frame to put 275 wheels on it, so at this point i'm still rocking it.

We can turn our noses up all we want, but this would be a good omen for racing. We really need non-bike industry sponsors with stable cash flows. No one argues that the next couple years are going to be brutal for marketing budgets and sponsored riders. We need to see car companies, healthcare, tech, etc. coming in as sponsors, it's really the only way forward. This has always been the case but 10X more starting... right now. It's odd that we haven't seen healthcare more. It's perfect. We have lower lifetime healthcare costs as riders, but fund their high...

Personally from what I have seen the quality is hit and miss. If it was assembled right, performance is fine and will do most everything a Zeb or 38 can. Maybe not better, but it's something you can trust. As far as Aston goes, even when he's right he sounds like a crying baby.

First rule of frame design, ignore marketing crap. Compare a whole bunch of different designs in Linkage and realize that everyone is slowly converging on the same thing. The window of preferred anti-squat and leverage ratios is narrowing in on roughly 100% anti-squat at sag and a LR of 20-25% linear progression starting around 2.8 to 3.0. Anti-rise seems to still be down to designer tastes or a compromise of the chosen linkage platform / shock location. The more time you spend in Linkage the more you realize everything has already been done...and thus why the window of optimized designs...

And I can already see Brendog got robbed comments as it might happen with 20% being tricks and people are already throwing double backflips in training. In the other sites video Bender said it as it is: "This part of the course is slopestyle, that one is freeride". Both being in the same competition makes is practically impossible to judge equaly/fairly. I believe that the Brendogs line represents what rampage is all about, his battle is with the mountain, not the judges.
