Fezzari Launches Long Travel 29er Enduro Bike Called La Sal Peak
Some of their old stuff was hideous but this looks on point. They also released a cool looking downcountry bike earlier this year already. These latest two look solid. I’m local so will arrange a demo of this absolutely.

Cannondale Introduces the New Jekyll 29
@SlodownU:
SpeedupU -> most of my friends and i have ditched packs for rides under 2hrs, which is most of them (weekday dawn patrol, beotch). It's soooo nice. Some have SWAT, some do (err) hip packs, most have a bottle mounted.
When it comes down to it I wouldn't dismiss a bike for lack of one, but it is a nice convenience for most avid riders who fit in quick rides before and after work and would rather not rock a backpack for a short ride.

Zapp - but for serious... even if this had that much rear travel would you really consider it over the Firebird29, Wreckoning, Capra29, or Enduro29? Nah man.... nah.
I'll bet c'dale is just testing the waters with their first long(ish) travel 29er first. Everyone's putting out 150 29ers but only a handful the longer versions.
I'd throw a leg over it. But $5300 to get a decent spec... eesh.

Practice Photo Report: Diamond in the Rough - EWS Whistler 2018
@JeffreyJim:
JJ but his is far from stock, like halfway between the stump and enduro cuz he upforks and long shocks it. Plus dh casing tires.
Actually would like a bike check to see if he’s long shocking the new one like he was the old one or sticking to a 140 rear. Keep in mind a handful of racers on less than 150 rear like anyone on an sb5.5 and ripmo at 145.
I would think with access to their lineup he’d ride the enduro if he felt better on it. Tho for the gnarliest races, like this one, it does seem crazy to go for the stumpy. I’d reach for the enduro but of course my goal would be to just get down the mountain as opposed to putting down a fast run.

Pinkbike Poll: What's the Most You'd Spend on a Mountain Bike?
@RedRedRe:
Hilarious that you’re still at it Red. There’s a hell of a lot more costs to running a business than production. And a $3k bike today is way better than it's ever been. And profits are not evil they are necessary. The bike industry isn’t flush with high paying jobs and scores of dudes and dudettes laughing at us all the way to the bank. Go start your own brand and figure out how much work it is to turn a profit.
Also I ride harder now, 20+ yrs into the sport, than I ever have (and I weigh more) and my sh#t isn’t breaking right and left.
Agree that there’s a lot of insanity out there tho. “Premium” mtbs are damn expensive. And I agree that the pay gap between the worker bees and the execs is louco but only for large companies in select industries. It is what it is. The bike industry isn’t the problem.

Good answer midget. I see you’re not angry, just savvy.
