Norco Announces New Carbon Fluid VLT eMTB
Sure but in the long run, the bike that has more power and less weight and goes a good distance will win. An idler goes against your ability to make that happen. It’s fine for now, just saying it will go away again, just like how idlers went away 15 years ago. It’s a shiny object. Don’t get me wrong I like my idler bikes, but they aren’t a better overall platform to live with.

Norco Announces New Carbon Fluid VLT eMTB
@onawalk: have you ridden one? Slightly improved suspension performance is cool but more maintenance and drag is notable. In the long run, you get used to the suspension performance increase and so it effectively goes away… but the increased noise, needing to lube your chain every big climb, and feeling like you’re in worse shape than your friends because you drivetrain is 2% less efficient… that gets old. Been through it. It’s neat but will not stick around.

Because high pivot on short travel trail bikes doesn’t make a lot of sense in the first place :)
