Review: Specialized’s New Epic 8 - All the Speed You Need
@bcmanucd: They can use even smaller cranks on the smallest frames? I didn't look at specs to see if the smaller frames with lower BB come with shorter cranks, but perhaps they maintain the same pedal to ground clearance as the others, but with the benefits of lower center of gravity.

Review: Specialized’s New Epic 8 - All the Speed You Need
@sethlowe: They're still 30% off, even with Transmission. Just picked up a Stumpjumper Pro T-type, for $6500US, with full XO, Codes, 34 w/Grip2, and carbon wheels. Damn, that's a near $10k bike from most other companies, at least $9k.
Pretty sure the new Stumpjumper will release pretty soon too. Probably at 140mm from what I hear, since the new Epic Evo is almost encroaching on the current gen Stumpjumper.

First Ride: RockShox Flight Attendant XC Suspension System
Maybe not Nino, but it's enough to beat Fred, that guy who finished 1 minute ahead of me last race.

Review: 2024 Norco Sight - For All the Mountains
I thought the same thing. Only 2lbs heavier with a coil, 36, and aluminum rims? They do both look fun. I'd probably opt for the Sight though, the extra travel would come in handy for Moab and GJ.

SCOR Releases Limited Edition 4060 ST
$9k, and no carbon wheels? Plus no Transmission? Bah... Does this model still have a debris collecting area behind the shock? I think I remember that from earlier reviews as one of the few cons. I like the color. Would have preferred Transmission over Flight Attendant, and carbon wheels of course.

Fox Releases New Crossframe XC & Gravel Helmet
It's not bad. I like the sunglass holder feature, and I like that there seems to be a lot of room above the boa to pull a ponytail through. I am looking for a new helmet...

Because they're not relying on a battery and motor to make up for lower quality materials and shitty suspension. These actually have to be well-engineered.

Guerrilla Gravity Appears to Have Closed Up Shop
@j1sisslow: Yeah, I guess if they were there from the start they would have expected decent return on their investment by now...
