Propain Ekano AL eMTB Review - Quiet & Extremely Capable
@Kilian1b15Gt: True, but at least where I am the vast majority of people I see out and about on these things are 90kg + blokes. A lower overall leverage is generally better I think, there are more / easier solutions for lighter riders on low leverage frames than the other way round, both for air and coil shocks.

Propain Ekano AL eMTB Review - Quiet & Extremely Capable
@hellbelly: The best fork is the one you already own in this day and age. Gimmick features (like an adjustable rubber bottom out bumper à la 2010 coil boxxer) on latest products may give you a sense of some marginal improvement, or make set up even more confusing, you decide!

Propain Ekano AL eMTB Review - Quiet & Extremely Capable
55mm shock stroke for 160mm travel! Super high leverage, very questionable, you’d have thought that they might have figured out making bike by now.

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?

GRAZR Components Launch the Zone Pro, a High-End Singlespeed Tensioner
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.

Cotic Renews Jeht Trail Bike With More Travel and MX Wheels
This is a great looking bike, but I’m worried shock options might be a bit limited by my requirements to drink water
