First Look: Continental's 3 New XC Tires
Looks like Continental are following the same marketing plan as Trek/Bontrager:
1) Start with a simple naming convention that everybody understands
2) Change it to some random words
3) ???
4) Profit

Jan 2, 2025Trek Remedy 8
£1,000 GBPTrek Remedy 8 size 19.5 (large)
The Remedy is a full suspension trail bike thats fast, agile and jumps well. Y Comes with a decent spec; Rockshox Lyrik/Delux suspension, SLX 4-pot brakes, SRAM GX drivetrain and a dropper post.
The bike has been serviced annually to ensure that the suspension, drivetrain, brakes and bearings are working smoothly. I replaced the cassette, front ring and chain. Most of the frame bearings were replaced last year. Front tyre is 2 years old while the rear tyre 6 months so plenty of life left in them (these are not the original tyres). Bike is in good condition with only minor scratches.
Full components list with upgraded parts listed:
Alpha platinum aluminium frame
Rockshox Lyrik RC fork 160mm
Rockshox Delux RT3 shock 150mm
Bontrager Dropline dropper post 125mm

9 Things I Loved in 2024: Matt Wragg
Do you think these barefoot shoes pack down small? Wondering whether they might fit the bill for bikepacking for shoes to wear off the bike.

The 2023 Focus Raven Carbon Hardtail Has In-Frame Storage
Seat tube length is too long on the large at 480mm. Ideally it would be around 440-450 to maximise the space available for a dropper post. This is relic of its XC past.

8 More Bikes That Could Be Updated for 2023
Unfortunately, the Trek Remedy looks like it has been discontinued. There's not much space between the 140 Fuel and the 160 Slash.
