Spotted: Specialized's New XC Race Bike
Anyone hear about Cervelo's suspension XC mountain bike? Pinkbike posted pics then retracted them. Nothing online as far as I can tell.

Ibis Launches New Vietnam Made Exie
Good work, Ibis. I was hoping for an even 'cheaper' alloy frameset but I think I understand why that wouldn't happen. The Exie is a beautiful machine, but was always too expensive for me. I haven't been through the whole article yet, but the images suggest it's offered as a frame-ony, as it should be. I hope it is. And, I wish you would post geometry with a 100mm fork (seat tube, heat tube, reach), and include front-center. Thank you.

Video: An Experimental Bike Demonstrates Some Basic Principles of Bike Balance & Counter-Steering
Push-steer. You want to turn right? Give the right grip a quick short push. They teach this in motorcycle school when getting your license. Lennard Zinn talks about this in his book, also.

Triple Bike Check: Comparing the Scalpels of Cannondale Factory Racing
The new Scalpel has less anti-squat than the previous iteration, and with large 36 and 38t rings even less so. It makes sense that the pros would run a custom compression to combat bob.

The Best Tech From Albstadt XC World Cups
Aerodynamics are not relevant off-road, not in XC. The negative rise stems compensate for higher stack heights associated with 29 wheels, and they enable riders to get into powerful positions. You need to recruit the gluteal and hamstring muscles, the big powerhouse endurance propulsive muscles, if you want to make a bike go fast over long distances. Assuming your cleats and saddle are in the right place, a handlebar that is too high, or a reach that is too short or too long, will disable those muscles from firing. If I raise my stem 3mm it's like riding with the brakes on; I just can't make power. A XC bike position, like a road bike position, is a compromise between comfort, power, and handling. These athletes are on the threshold of comfort, and it's just a few millimetres.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody loves XC. And we're missing it sorely this summer; watching it, and racing it.

Video: 7 New & Interesting MTB Products from Crankworx Rotorua 2020
I love you, Pinkbike, and appreciate all your hard work, but I dislike the video format. Just my two cents. I'd rather scroll through pics and read captions.
