1/13/2026 10:07am My slow ass was hitting 39.5mph/63kph this past summer on a bum knee. I’m over 6’3” tall and definitely not wearing anything aero. Any GoPro video of mine on a high speed trail looks like I’m crawling in comparison to their speeds on any track with a motorway. Aero could be a huge help. I really hope it doesn’t go...

Following the late 2024 recall related to potentially faulty battery housings, the Spectral:ON and Torque:ON are now back in Canyon's line-up, featuring all-new batteries that provide less juice (800 Wh compared to 900 Wh for the original batteries) but better energy efficiency and lower weight. The pricing is also very aggressive (no doubt it needs to be, given that these bikes are still powered by old Shimano motors): https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/canyon-relaunches-spectralo….

I've got a little conversation piece for everyone—I've been riding a Maxxis' High Roller a lot the past year and a half, and was curious how Continental's Argotal would compare since it's pretty similar. I rode them back to back the past few months as a front tire to see what the deal was. And to try and better understand why I've shifted to really liking these mixed-conditions, open tread designs so much as a front tire over the popular Assegai-esque designs. Here is the article - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/argument-against-transition-knobs-con… The TLDR is that they both are great tires for a wider...

I'll add that the new brakes still didn't give me the immediate stopping power of other brakes. I went back to Mavens last week and it was instant how much harder I could brake, and how much easier it was to generate that power. Not to say XTs don't work great for like 95% of trails I ride. I just think Shimano is holding out until that new Saint brake is released to compete power-wise with other brands.

1/7/2026 1:34pm Personally I find Dakotah a heck of a lot easier to relate to than someone like Jackson. Just a hard working dude from a similar part of the same country as me, also with questionable hair styles, that has overcome some adversity and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty at home. Nothing against Jackson, but his story is so far...

I can't tell if I'm seeing a lot of these cuz I 'want to' and the internet is serving me things in my wheelhouse... Or if this bike is actually selling very well. I guess when the only other mainstream freeride/275 option are all EU and d2c basically... You seemingly end up with a monopoly on this market segment?

Jacks announcement took a few of us by surprise last night. It's sad that one of the best riders in the world, arguably the most charismatic too is unable to secure a ride for next year and in some ways, coerced into retirement. I hope he finds a role somewhere, he would be a fantastic "face" of a company. The content would be top level. Jack is majorly responsible for MTB in Australia spreading so far, his influence on youngsters and his personal approach to grassroots racing that I have seen first hand is commendable. He truly is one of...
