Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride

My 2019 5010 has seen many replacements come and go. Such as awesome platform. Need to bring back full 27.5.

If that’s the v4 ripley it’s regarded as perfection by many. Good example of something that was perfect and then messed up by the industry for sake of change. Dont let it go.

First Look: Revel Launches 3 New Bikes Including an Enduro & eMTB Model

I had the icy blue rascal but sold it for the v2 ponyboy. The paint was the hardest thing to let go of, pictures don't come close to how nice it is.

First Ride: RockShox's New Reverb AXS is the Longest Dropper Post on the Market

Ride sag, were not sure whether it's a flaw or a feature, so we'll say it's intentional.

First Look: Revel Rascal SL - The Live Wire Trail Bike Gets Lighter

I had a v1 and now a v2. The geo fix on the v2 although subtle made significant improvements to fit. For everyone complaining it seems like they are in the low long slack camp. In the northeast the low long slacks bikes are unenjoyable. I am so happy this brand was able to update the bike and maintain true trail bike characteristics. And CBF is the best all around suspension platform I have ever ridden. Blows VPP and horstlink out of the water up and down. And is close with dw link but way more fun. Haters gonna hate, but this is really a great bike.

What's Hot & What's Not? Pinkbike Editors' Picks For 2025 Tech Trends

@jptrialsin: v3 5010 that fits me better than any bike I've ever ridden and not over built. I've gone through 3 other bikes trying to go 29 but always go back to 5010.

Pinkbike's 2024 Community Survey: What Bikes Do Pinkbike Readers Ride?

@Blownoutrides: not that we wouldn't like the extra squish, but that usually comes with a slacker HTA and longer wheelbase which isn't ideal for all regions.
