All

it's not new, HXR (a french brand) has already been offering this product for years :

Let's be honest with ourselves here, 70 percent of these bikes will never see dirt, 29 percent will be ridden off road but not to the point where the heat in the shock will effect damping, and one percent will get ridden to that point and complained about. As for the twin lock, I agree, it's very odd especially on a 6" travel ebike, but the ebike crowd love gadgets and widgets. For the rest of us folk, at least it is somewhat removable if you wanna drop the cash and time to have it retrofitted to knobs.

They have the Big Betty which is their DHR equivalent. I think this is more likely a middle ground between the Magic Mary and Dirty Dan, equivalent to the Shorty.

Schwalbe athletes got custom tyre models made for them based on their names. Ben as in Benoit.

They could just be playing a game as well....and it's just a remote electronic lockout on the shock. Just because it says live valve on the box doesn't mean it's live valve in the box

Didn't he publicly say he's not into riding bikes as much as some other racers are? Something along the lines that if it wasn't for racing, he might not even ride bikes at all?

I have been a Gwin fan since his breakout ride on Yeti, but I feel like he doesn't have the same intensity as those days. He has everything now: millions, a palace in SoCal, wife, not to mention that he is just getting older. Naturally he isn't going to be as hungry/risk as much to try and win as he once did. I'm not sure he has the same passion for DH as Greg. Seems Gwin is more in it for the competition aspect and elevating himself to preform. I feel in order to have a long successful career in...

Blowoff valve for when the VTEC kicks in.

would pitch of the course factor in? they didn't have floating arms in maribor, right? maribor less steep, less aggressive braking need in bombholes compared to VDS with aggressive holes and hits while braking at the same time. thoughts? considering colanges got 2nd place today by just .2 seconds on the "old" commencal, i think they still work just fine : )

Not necessarily. It depends on how the links rotate. A virtual linkage doesn't necessarily have low anti rise values.

Im not sure about the "without the high price tag" for this product :D

Technically it is not a BMC, though.

Seems sketchy as hell. That said, I've got $5 on Bernard Kerr being the first to gap it.

Appears to be a cable going to and from derailleur on the "Winning Bike - Loris Vergier's Trek Session at Maribor" post If I had to guess that's a shirtless Loris warming up on a stationary trainer trail bike equipped with AXS.
