I struggle to picture how another event with the same invite list of core riders is going to make an impact to the mtb community/spark change in what a mountain bike race/competition looks like.

Hard MTB, MTB X... One more event name like this and Chris Hansen is gonna suddenly roll up "Do you mind telling me what you're doing here?"

Got to say it, the v10’s look cheap and low effort.

core is if you do it for intrinsic reasons.

I remember riding the Park City dirt jumps around 2010 and Porter was there. It was the first time I had ever seen someone do a tailwhip in real life and I was completely mind blown. What I remember most though was how cool he was, just hanging out and riding with all the kids.

I always felt there was something special about only getting to watch your favorite riders in a full video segment once or twice a year. It created a sense of curiosity and anticipation that just doesn't exist anymore. With social media and constant short edits, it feels like there's simply too much content.

Impressive by Jackson. I can't imagine being a domestic pro, finally getting the opportunity to race with some big dawgs, only to realize one of the fastest riders in the world just beat you by 20 seconds. That's a pretty eye opening reminder of how good these guys are

I think it's very rider specific, but I started to notice a loss of traction on steep descents and in flat corners. I'm sure there are other ways to compensate for that through bike setup, but I ended up going back to a more conventional setup. (50mm riser with 10mm spacers) That said, I'm riding an S3 Stumpjumper 15. If...

from a quick compatibility check, those are not compatible. only new brakes with LV fluid. https://productinfo.shimano.com/en/compatibility/C-461

utterly ridiculous. they took the bike that was largely panned last year, short stroked the shock, paired with a lighter fork and put lightweight tires on it and are calling it light and nimble? I can't imagine the use case for this bike, but it's not mountain biking as most of us know it. Just get an Avinox equipped bike already and call it a day. The Unno is lighter and more capable. Or a Druid LitE.

2/18/2026 12:35pm

That’s tough. A true trail bike is always subjective and really depends on the region. Personally if I lived in Bellingham I would not want my only bike to be a Spur or another short travel bike, but that is just me. I would lean toward a Stumpjumper 15 with a 150 mm fork. The frame weighs about 6.3 pounds...
