Tech Randoms II: Lenzerheide XC World Cup 2026
Those Schwalbes have the marker treatment because they're likely the yet-to-be-released 2.5 Thunder Burts. Those have been spotted a few times this season already

Intend Announces 32" Samurai XC and 32" Edge Enduro Forks
@JWP: also some body proportions are more conductive to low cockpits. I have this weird combo of relatively short legs and very long arms. On my Spark have the -40° integrated cockpit (the "Nino" one) and if you look at me riding I still look like I'm on a town bike. Some guys with very long legs and relatively short arms are the opposite

Intend Announces 32" Samurai XC and 32" Edge Enduro Forks
@loganbeck: just have in mind that the AVG speeds on some WC short track races are sometimes 28-29km/h. I don't think most people realise how fast those guys are going. At those speeds aero plays a major role

What Do World Cup XC Athletes Really Think About 32" Wheels?
@atrokz: if you take off the tinfoil hat, you might realise that the size of the contact patch by itself doesn't directly correlate with rolling resistance. Just go check John Karrasch's work if you want some real world test results

@preston67: try going to Graubünden and check the mountain trails that Nino often does on his racing bike, with the exact same setup he raced XCO

Bike Check: Payson McElveen's Aero-Modified Allied BC40 for New Zealand's 3 Rideable Great Tracks
@Muscovir: politics aside, most people have no clue that lots of industries are simply at a much higher level in China/Taiwan than anywhere else in the world. Many people's minds are still stuck in the 80-90s sweatshop version of China, oblivious to the fact that they are now cutting edge in plenty of processes and technologies

Maxxis calls the 170tpi a very pompous "Team Spec" but they've been available for the general public for a couple of years.
Also, 700mm wide bars are not unusual at all in the XC circles
