Well you can still have part of what you want. Just buy the Misspent Summers Hurly Burly year book for the old school in-depth reportage, geek facts, photography, BTS and storylines each year. More pages and less ads than Dirt too.

The new Demo/Enduro probably rides amazing but I will be really surprised if it sells as well as the outgoing model, just based on asthetics alone

My question is why do they keep putting dinner plate cassettes on these e-bikes? I’m looking at a Levo SL right now, hopefully a frameset if they start selling that option on the new 2.0. Did a demo ride with a little over 3k of vert and almost 15 miles and rolled in on an almost dead battery without even having a range extender in 90 min which is double what we can do on a normal day so basically rode every DH section twice. I don’t believe I got lower than 6th gear so that would set me up...

Considering it's Bruni and there are still prototype links, I would assume it's still in development (or at least that this is not the production model)

A sneak peak is when you think you're at the top, but then turn a corner and see that you're still a whole 'nother peak away.

I don't get the downvotes for this, its team rumors, not team news, that's for Jan 1 and One Ghost is teasing some stuff until then to make people question stuff. If he just said everything, he'd stop getting the info to do so. These threads have been, in the past, for cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. Have fun with it and don't be so frickin serious, silly season on here used to actually be silly and everyone's making it out to be such a grind the last 2-3 seasons. Make some shit up and enjoy it. Give people some...

Pretty disheartening to see all of these athletes without a ride but to be honest I’m surprised any brands are fielding an EDR team at this point. Zero coverage last year and sounds like 2024 will be its last season. Why would you pump cash into a sinking ship? Separately I wonder how old Chris Ball is feeling about all this? Yes probably not too badly on his big pile of cash but there must be some conflicting emotions seeing as EWS was his baby for an entire decade.

galfer doesn't make brakes?

Boy, this thread seems to have strayed off-topic a bit. Isn't there a racing rumors thread that is better for all the racing talk?

This format could easily be televised: https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=480&v=PaBix1n43sk&embeds_refe… And the racing was rad for sure 🤣

Some of this is correct.

Manufacturers maybe? I don't think many people who ride or watch other forms of racing are too interested.

I just don't get this move to all E-EDR. I don't know anyone who is asking for this...

can 90% confirm no EDR in 2025 as it will all be E-EDR. DH will be top 15 teams only. Fees went through the roof to register for '24. A trade team is now 11,500 Euro and a non-trade team will be 5500 Euro.

Can we have another thread where we get semantic with kinematics.

Got to listen to the making up the numbers podcast. Martin said in the interview that Frameworks would be announcing soon another elite male rider, who has been on the podium. Charlie Harrison out of retirement? He is already riding Frameworks bikes

Madonna V3 just dropped, looks rad! Like the V2 offers lots of adjustability. https://raawmtb.com/en-us/pages/madonna-v3

That was SUCH a good episode, thank you! Any chance of a follow-up with Martin now that he's had a chance to talk to Chris Ball?
