Opinion: Six Ways The Mountain Bike Industry Could Make Biking Better (For Free)
@birdsandtrees: I have both (manual and e assist). The ebike is useful for days where I'm DH focused and want to spend time/energy on the downhill. Note that the Kenevo SL is minimal assist rather than full-on ebike.

Whilst we're on the subject. Brands should make upgrading should be made simpler. I have a Specialized Kenevo SL which I love but it has the 1.1 motor. Apparently, if I wanted to go the 1.2 motor I would need to buy a new bike as the don't provide the motor on it's own.
I understand that manufacturers want to maintain bike sales but for something like this where nothing has changed on the model other than a motor upgrade it is most likely having the opposite effect where customers will purchase a different bike brand that offers better support in this area.

Less proprietary standards.
A good example of this is Treks Knock Block which makes fitting aftermarket stems an excessively difficult process. I tried their own (useless) spacer and eventually purchased the (excellent) Huckleberry spacer.
I'm sure other riders can think of brand specific fittings, devices etc that have made simple thing overly complicated.

Fox Racing Releases New Tahnée Seagrave TS57 Signature Collection
Just to clarify my earlier comment. I'm referring to the MTB gear. I really like the colour scheme but hoping they bring out an option with a fit for the male body shape.
