8 More Bikes That Could Be Updated for 2023
My guesses are a Norco Sight and a Specialized Enduro.

RAAW Mountain Bikes Offers Rolling Chassis Option
I think this is a good idea, particuarly for mid range bikes where I would choose to not go with a model due to the drivechain or bikes, or factor in the upgrade as part of the initial cost of the bike, making it not reasonable. While still saving money on the wheels, suspension and cockpit.

Field Test: 2023 Norco Fluid - The Reasonably Priced One
Different use case. Fluid is a trail bike aimed at entry level. Optic is a aggressive trail bike, carbon only, aggressive tune, aimed at more advanced riders.

Tech Week 2023: 3D Printed Randoms from Jank Components, 76 Projects, & More
@brianpark: The only thing holding me back from ditching the pack is my phone, I have smashed two phone screens by crashing with them in my pocket. Considering 3D printing a little pelican type case to put hear my waterbottle but it seems excessive. Need Strava, trailforks & Emergency calls when needed. Currently still use the dakine hot laps for just phone, and since i have the pack, I carry multi tool, pump ect in there.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 139 - Crankworx Wrap-up and Bikes for the Zombie Apocalypse
I'm sorry but I have to disagree.
Yes it is subjective, but this opinion is like saying racing isn't interesting to watch because they are all just riding the same track? The difference is everyone can ride down a track, so they understand how hard it must be for the faster guys. But not everyone can do a 360 or a backflip.
I have an appreciation for slopestyle because I can do simple tricks (360, no footer, backflip).So I understand how much harder it must be to do the tricks these guys are doing. If you've never done anything similar, it would be hard to comprehend how hard they are, and that's what the commentator's job is. If you don't understand it, that's fine, but it's definitely interesting. I don't find equestrian sports interesting because I know nothing about them.
So I think Henry (and people that agree with him) just need to get out there and try some of the tricks, or try and ride a slope course to understand how skilled these guys are.

Opinion: Freeride is Dead, Long Live Freeride
And throw in some bar spins and tailwhips... even more gnarly.
Not sure why people get upset by Semenuk's single crown, he's riding as free as anyone else!
