Head to Head Review: 2023 RockShox Zeb vs Fox 38
That's mentioned in the article, sounds like Fox makes a lot more money outside the US on their stuff.

Bosch Expands ABS For E-bikes With TRP & Tektro
The market for dirt bikes and dualsports is quite different from emtb, particularly the more XC/trail type emtb. Dirt bikes are almost exclusively ridden by enthusiasts who want to get slidey in the dirt and don't mind feeling like they need skills to control the bike (even if they actually don't have the skills) eMtb has a large portion of its riders who just want to go and safely get exercise on gentle trails and definitely don't want to risk skidding and crashing.

I tested the Shimano version at Eurobike. Its insane. You can just mash the brake lever as hard as you can and you just...slow down. I am not sure I like it, but its impressive as heck.

Review: Troy Lee Designs' New Flowline Helmet
@blowmyfuse: There is fox, giant, laser and specialized helmets under $100 in this list, all with MIPS and 5 star ratings: https://helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html All of those companies are owned by different groups.

Review: Troy Lee Designs' New Flowline Helmet
@bishopsmike: I think it is actually the opposite of what is true. A greater feeling of safety without a proportional increase in actual safety would likely lead to more injuries as you might ride in a way which is more risky and therefore suffer more and worse crashes than if you felt less safe but were equally protected.

Review: Troy Lee Designs' New Flowline Helmet
Serious question, what makes some helmets so much money? They are single use items. the production methods and materials are reasonably inexpensive. A lot of helmets featuring Mips with 5 star safety ratings are like £50 but most with the same technology and safety are well over £100. Is it just a case of the price is what people will pay or are there features which actually cost more to make in most helmets which are missing from the cheaper ones?
