Results: Martina Berta & Martin Vidaurre Kossmann Win Dramatic 2026 Soldier Hollow XC World Cup

You probably right about bikes, but skiing in Europe is genuinely in a different league to the US if you're looking for scale, vert, lifts, and the party scene. Put it on your list if you can

Scott Unveil a 32" Spark Prototype - 2026 XCO World Cup Soldier Hollow

@fatfalcon: What's it like to lift the front wheel? Does it feel like you're riding a chunk more bike or does the geo make it feel similar to a 29?

32" Wheels Claim First Title at the 2026 XC Marathon World Championships

@tacopop: Seewald is a machine, but rushing to dismiss the bike he's riding seems a bit close minded. I get the frustration with 'it's another change that's going to be expensive', but for tall riders who want more grip it's got to be worth considering, especially as these bikes are in their first year of competition. "The world turns, that's all. You can hold on and turn with it, or stand up to protest and be spun right off" - Stephen King [EDIT]: Saw your edited comment which I agree with, but it allowed me to shoehorn a good quote in!

Pinkbike Poll: What Would You Change About the Mountain Bike Scene Where You Live?

I don't know what's worse on my local trails, the litter from the kids at the trailhead, or the fact that it's all pepsi and coke cans rather than a two litre bottle of dodgy cider or beer... Bunch of lightweights

Pinkbike Poll: What Would You Change About the Mountain Bike Scene Where You Live?

100%. Riding a full sus XC bike is almost overbiked where I live, I'd love to ride some of the incredible enduro and DH bikes that get featured here regularly. I'm envious of the crowd that lives in the mountains!

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Enjoy Riding In the Mud?

Scarier than wet roots... At least you can find grip between roots, on wet green chalk you can be flipped faster than a burger on a BBQ

Poll: What Would You Change About Bike Geometry?

Yes! My saddle is so much higher than my bars with XL frames, things haven't changed that much from ten years ago when making a bike for someone over 6'2" meant bolting on an 80mm stem and giving them a thumbs up
