GRAZR Components Launch the Zone Pro, a High-End Singlespeed Tensioner
@grazrcomponents: I get that, and everyone these days has both Allen keys and torx tools, but the need for both on any product gets to me.
If we’re going to talk about durability and ease of service, why aren’t all the bolts torx head?

For £300 you could at least give us some consistency in what bolt head tooling you use

Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride
I feel like a lot of people who work in the industry are the ones who see through the marketing and/ or can’t afford new bikes and so are also perfectly happy riding ‘older’ bikes. That’s where I’m at anyway.
With the exception of positions where bikes are handed to you one way or another.

This is a great looking bike, but I’m worried shock options might be a bit limited by my requirements to drink water

Why I’m Not Panicking About 1,500W E-Bikes (Yet)
@ridedigrepeat: With the total lack of policing and control in the UK I reckon we’re a year or so off people stopping lying to themselves and taking to the trails on Surrons

RockShox Overhauls the SuperDeluxe and Vivid Air Shocks for 2027
Granted it’s annoying, but no one would buy the out going product (at least at full price) if they knew a new one was around the corner, if anything it works better for RS financially to keep it as quiet as possible till release.
As others have said, I wouldn’t worry anyway, with each new iteration of their products the quality and performance declines in favour of gimmick marketing tat. The pattern of intentionally releasing an unrefined, sub par product, then releasing an ‘upgrade’ to sell to those unlucky customers 6 months later is getting a little old now as well
