77designz Launches Barlerina Carbon Handlebars
@skimgosu: If it doesn't specifically say "EFBE Tri-Test GR" then its not an EFBE test. They have strict rules around usage of their terms for testing and you can only get cerified by EFBE themselves. Cat 5 is likely ASTM which still doesn't apply fatigue forces (where most failures happen) like EFBE does.

Opinion: Don't Get Rid of the Ports - High End MTB Frames Should Still Work With Cable Operated Drivetrains
From a manufacturing standpoint I understand why brands are eager to eliminate cable ports. laying up tubes in frames is costly as it take a lot of time and attention. That being said, maybe just put external mounts on the frame as an option for the consumer.

Why Did Bernard Kerr's Prototype Frame Break at Crankworx Rotorua?
Ease of modifying the design. If through testing they need to switch up the kinematics or geometry, they can quickly machine new lugs to make these adjustments. Carbon tooling for a frame is very pricey, as well as tube molds for alloy bikes.

Rampage Judge Darren Berrecloth Speaks Out On 2023 Event
I was there and stood on top of many of these features. Cam’s line is burly yes but it did not deserve the score it received. When his score came in the entire venue was left scratching their heads. The biggest head scratcher for me was Kyle Strait's score. How we placed higher than so many other riders is a real mystery to me…. Maybe the “he’s need here since a kid” story is just too good to pass up for Redbull.

@grgsmith: this might come as a shocker to you, but these ladies don’t need you to protect them from gnarly terrain. They’re grown ass adults that can make up their own minds about hucking themselves off a cliff. You too scared to watch them do it? Change the channel.
