First Look: Mondraker's Downcountry Hardtails
They Missed there mark with these bikes. They are better described as beginner friendly hardtails and can't really see what is even remotely "Down Country" about them.

2022 Pinkbike Awards: Value Mountain Bike Product of the Year Nominees
All Solid Contenders. I might have gone with AXS GX instead of Deore because the prices you can get the GX from certain places. But the Deore is a fantastic little groupset and its Cassette is amazing value to strength and weight.

Hunt Releases New 'Proven' XC & Enduro Carbon Wheels
Exciting to see the price and overall quality of the builds being in a somewhat economical range. I'm currently building 1600 gram wheelsets with Nextie hoops and Roost Nero hubs, using Sapim Lazer Spokes for just under this price for friends, but who knows, maybe I'll recommend they check these wheels out instead.

Hope Say Their Super Short 155 mm Cranks Are 'The Sweet Spot'
Ive been running 165mm cranks on 2 of my bikes for about a year and a half and I love the length. It does feel strange when jumping on an xc bike with 175mm cranks though. :-P

Shand Launches Ioma Hardtail with a 60-Degree Head Angle
@Rexuis-Twin: Id reccomend riding a super slack hardtail before you solidify your view on this one. I've been running a 62 degree HT on my Marino Hardtail with a 170mm travel fork. Its a very different experience but surprisingly functional. Maybe This particular bike is a bit outside of the limits. But it's nice to find these limits all the same :-D
