First Ride: Revel Rascal V2
TLDR: Pinkbike completely lost sight on what a trailbike should be.

First Ride: The 2024 Pivot Switchblade Gets Updated, Not Overhauled
A bike should be ridden in a neutral position, having to consciously weight the front wheel is bad design/fit/setup.
Want a bike that manuals or hops easily? Accept having a shorter tt. Want a bike that excels at flat corners? Accept a longer cs.

Hardtail Roundup: 17 Compelling & Progressive Options
I know this is like kicking a digital bee hive but ‘modern’ ht geometry is taking the piss. For the kind of stuff you’d sensibly choose a ht those numbers are way too extreme. I’d take a ht (ridden a 2013 honzo for years) for playful, zippy riding, where a sub 65 degree head angle and ridiculous reach figure only take away from the bike’s character. This kind of geo only makes sense on steep, high speed tracks, ie the kind of riding where you’d use an enduro or dh bike.
My ideal ht would be carbon, 66 h/a, 445 reach (I’m 1.78m), 425 cs and 40 bb drop. Light parts, grippy front tyre and a faster rolling one at the back.

"Sad it Had to Come to an End" - Greg Minnaar Features on Santa Cruz's 'The Roller Door' Podcast
Not too sure about that, it’s not just about being the fastest or winning the most races but also about being relatable and that’s were gm comes in. Jackson is a great kid and an absolute wizzard on a bike but my feeling is that the average sc buyer can relate more to greg.

"Sad it Had to Come to an End" - Greg Minnaar Features on Santa Cruz's 'The Roller Door' Podcast
@sino428: I buy bikes mostly based on quality, durability and serviceability/warranty but when choosing between two equally good bikes I’d lean towards a company that does the right thing and sc didn’t exactly score points with this move.

@A1990ToyotaHilux: true, luckily lots of companies make aftermarket sc decals…must be for a reason I reckon.

First Look: Rulezman Releases Super Short 15 & 18mm Stems
@iduckett: did you play with bar height? Imo this plays quite a role in front end grip, seems like higher bars require either a longer stem or longer cs. My 5010 v4 has short cs (426) and stem (40mm with renthals rolled forward) but with just the right bar height it still grips great. Must say I run my damper relatively hard so that keeps the weight balanced as well.
