Fizik Releases New Ergolace Gore-Tex Shoes
Vibram makes a whole lot of different rubber compounds. It's hard to know what this will be like without knowing which they're using here. In climbing shoes, Vibram's XS Grip 2 is a legitimate (and possibly more common) rival to Stealth's M4 rubber for climbing shoes (though I think the M4 is supposed to be just a hair softer). Other Vibram compounds are much harder.
That being said, I don't really love this tread pattern for a flat pedal shoe, but maybe it works, who knows!

[UPDATED] Final Results & Overall Standings from the Loudenvielle EDR World Cup 2023
I had to read into the body text to confirm that this was reporting on the top level-enduro series. I couldn't remember if EDR was what they changed the name to and there'd been so little hype that I thought it might be a regional thing.

UCI Reveals an Early Preview at the 2024 Race Calendar with the First EDR World Championships
This is a heck of a kick in the teeth to the southern hemisphere venues like Rotorua, Derby, Maydena that have hosted consistently and developed trail systems to suit EWS (not to mention Nelson, which built a lot in anticipation of their first EWS, then had it canceled due to Covid, and rescheduling now looks unlikely).

@withdignityifnotalacrity: Yep. I'm interested in budget big bikes not as a new rider, but because I'd like a bike for park/dh trails in my system, but they're a minority of my riding and my current bike can stand in (if not optimally) so u can't justify an expensive bike for the use.

@toast2266: if you changed to an Exo+ Assegai/Dissector combo, the weight wouldn't change, and as a 130 bike, I imagine that it would be totally sufficient for most people.
My bike came with Exo+ Assegais on both sides. My home trails are Bootleg Canyon in NV, which is generally pretty rough on tires, but they've held up for 9 months now with only one flat that made me need to reinflate on the trail.
