But most importantly, a very good XC skier.

after exactly one fire road climb on that 39 lb monstrosity, his legs might come close to dangerholm territory

I dunno if EWS tracks this, but he must have been the fastest first year Elites rider? Some great results - congrats Jack!

Bitter sweet as Jack O was riding for the boys at We Are One

I would have liked to see him progress more on WAO but I am pretty sure from the great videos I saw of that team that they were pretty budget. But on a great bike! It just can't pay the bills I don't think (I could be wrong).

@cmolina: I think you're right. WAO is a pretty small operation, and EWS is expensive. Nothing wrong with pointing that out.

@WE-NEED-MORE-ROOST: the WAO team gave the company really great exposure and attention last season IMO. Definitely a success investment for WAO!

Polygon bikes are actually really fun. I sold mine after 6 months because the suspension pivot bushings would wore outafter a month of riding. bikes online.com didn't have any and took 2 months to get replacements, charged me for them, and sent the wrong ones. I ended up having igus make me a few sets with better material. Bikesonline.com was such a pain to deal with, I would NEVER buy from them again and would dissuade anyone from my community from buying from them.

Funny you say that. Waiting to see if they will warranty my frame due to poor prep for paint and ended up with a bb shell that has oxidized

As a professional in the industry, I will not touch this company with a 10 foot pole. They construct impossible hoops their employees need to jump through just to get paid. Took them 6 months to complete an invoice last year after countless emails.

@wottawa: you’ve got me curious,
Bb is seized in the shell?
Poor prep for paint?
Hoping for more explicit details here

What the hell ?! He only has 3K followers on instagram and factory team still signed him ?! I mean, is that enough for Polygon ? I doubt he is mArkEtaBLE, SMH.

Number of Instagram followers doesn’t make you a fast Enduro rider. Hard work does. Based on your short bus logic maybe they should have signed Kim Kardashian.

@Casualobserver: woosh...... it's a dig on Pinkbike for selecting the PBA winner pretty much on IG followers.

@Casualobserver: Not sure how many bikes you can sell with 3k followers. Ever heard of ROI?

Ruttee FL (Dec 27, 2022 at 13:00)

@jaydawg69: I'm with you on the PBA result but it makes sense because content sells 10x more bikes than race results. Realistically, seeing a fabio wibmer edit has sold more canyons and specialized than any Dh or Enduro race

@Ruttee: doesn’t make sense when all the competitions were based on racing except one and I thought Tarno’s edit was better than Max’s. It was clearly based on IG followers and where Tarno lives.

@jaydawg69: Being objective, if you had to sell bikes you would take Max too because he gets more views and more interactions with the brand.

@Ruttee: nah, any good rider can bring up their IG game. If I was a bike company, I would rather have a Ritchie Rude over a Jordan Boostmaster. The whole show was a complete farse.
