Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
I'm 6'6"/198cm with decent wingspan. Ran 800 and 810 forever cause I'm quite tall and all my shorter friends liked their 800s, so of course I should. Ended up building a bike with 790s, and every time I got on it I liked that more, and conversely disliked the wider on my other bikes. Think that's the only way I could ever form an opinion of what I like more. Lots of rides on different sizes where I couldn't care less what width I'm running that day and yet I can't help but notice it. If I switched them with the sole purpose of comparison I'd be overthinking it/feeling placebo.

Video: Asa Vermette's 2nd Place POV from the 2026 La Thuile DH World Cup
Curious how many riders made the pull Asa does at 2:35, looks like he carried speed from it for a long while in the fast flatter section after that.

Results: Elite Finals at the South Korea DH World Cup
@breakhealrepeat: he was 1.6 over Loic when he crashed, and Asa beat Loic by 1.5, where are you getting 2 seconds over Asa? He would've had to have been 3.5 over Loic.

I've been asking for this for the past couple seasons. Would be a huge improvement!

First Ride: Specialized Epic 9 - Unapologetically Race-Focused
Death to in frame storage! Mainly cause it's starting to make bikes look like e bikes.

Marin Alpine Trail E1 with upgrades

$2700 USD
Upgraded to a Domain fork, 160mm. Also upgraded to Code RSC brakes with 220mm rotors and a Bike Yoke Revive 213mm dropper. Tires and wheels in great shape. Really fun ebike with aggressive geometry (63 deg HTA). 504wh removable battery, Shimano motor. Just over 300 miles on it, much of which was just getting out to trail building zones. With the relatively few charges cycles it's seen I've been meticulous with battery health, always stored and charged it off the bike inside, only full charge right before a ride and otherwise stored around half charge. Includes the battery charger. Reach is 505 and stand over is mega low (can slam the seat post way down) so will work for anyone liking that reach who is around 5'10" and up to well beyond 6 feet tall. I'm quite tall and it works for me as well with the longer dropper. Will post more pictures soon. I would be open to shipping it but not sure how to deal with the battery.

This bike is built up in my opinion at the sweet spot of lightweight while still plenty burly for rough terrain. Weighs just under 33 lbs with heavy WTB tires. Specs: Carbon frame w/Super Deluxe Ultimate shock. Has ride wrap on it. Lyrik Ultimate Fork 160mm Raceface Turbine Wheels with the excellent Vault hub. These are one of the lightest alloy enduro wheelsets, and haven't needed truing once. I've been impressed with these. Code RSC brakes, 200mm rotors front and rear GX 12 speed drivetrain w/X01 chain 240mm OneUp dropper 40mm PNW components stem 40mm rise Chromag FUBAR handlebar WTB Judge rear, Verdict front, lightly ridden.

Pinkbike Poll: Is In-Frame Storage Worth It?
I don't know why the industry decided a plastic grocery bag tied with a double knot to one side of your handlebars suddenly wasn't good enough.
