Ibis Enduro Team Pulls Out of World Cup Racing
The entire bike industry got lost in the sauce over the past 3 years and is now hurting. Racing is EXPENSIVE, and sponsorships and racing teams are marketing expenses at the end of the day. Anything marketing related is the first to get cut when revenue is down.

Ibis Announces New Oso Price & Specifications
There simply aren’t that many people able to justify dropping 11K on an eMTB. Their target demographic at this price point is literally retirees with money to blow and legs that don’t work like they used to.

First Look: Moots' Womble Slider Is A UDH-Compatible Singlespeed
A local shop here in Minneapolis carries Moots and I swear I’ve never seen one leave the showroom. They are just comically expensive even by custom Titanium boutique standards. Its 2023, NOBODY is paying 7K for a hardtail.

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
MTB needs a fully enclosed, transmission-like solution for drivetrain. I understand current drawbacks of current gearboxes, but having a vulnerable part hanging off the back of your bike is annoying. This feels like the apex of the technological dead-end.
