First Ride: The Yeti MT Aims to Do It All

I can understand and respect the weight of the LT, but the MT is too heavy for an all round use trail bike. I’ve been waiting for the next gen Yetis for a while and was hyped for the MT because it had the potential to be a true upgrade, but I’m disappointed in the weight, and pulled the trigger on a Tallboy V6 instead.

Spotted: Yeti's New 6-Bar Enduro Bike

I’m hoping the LT nomenclature means there will be an MT and ST coming too.

Pinkbike Poll: What Made You Stop Caring About Enduro?

E-bikes killed enduro. Enduro was relatable while everyone was on the same bikes and looking for tech and training gains that come from racing. Now they buy a motor and have a bike that rides completely different and don’t care anymore.

Can MTB Brakes Stop a Honda Fit? We Tested 10 Four-Piston MTB Brakes

I’ve ridden most of the brakes tested, and would also back the Mavens as my number 1 preference. It’s difficult to quantify why, but for my braking style, weight and riding style, they feel the best.

New Jersey E-Bike Riders Will Require Licence, Registration & Insurance Under Newly Signed Law

I think the saddest thing about this whole saga of e-bikes or e mopeds etc is that it’ll be trail access or maintenance that suffers. It was called out from the beginning that motors in one form or another would kill trails for everyone, and it’s looking as thought it’ll happen. When riders aren’t registered, more money will be poured into enforcing rules than maintaining trails. This is a slippery slope for access.

New Jersey E-Bike Riders Will Require Licence, Registration & Insurance Under Newly Signed Law

Stupid Australian here; it’s only a matter of time until it happens here, and perhaps across the ditch too. A race was organised at Lysterfield with an e-bike catagory. You should have seen the uproar when compliance motor testing was mandated for insurance purposes. It showed how many dumb idiots take a fairly good idea, break the rules, and then whine when the ban hammer comes down. I won’t be surprised when rego and a licence in Aus is required, and I won’t be surprised at how many of the idiots claim it’s the kids on throttled bikes that ruined it, when in reality, they were craving more power and speed than they needed themselves.

What's Hot & What's Not? Pinkbike Editors' Picks For 2026 MTB Trends

It doesn’t matter if new enduro bikes aren’t released because most of the current selection of bikes are awesome. The SC Nomad is incredible. The only annoying aspect of the industry pivoting to e-bikes is that we won’t be getting developments that make these amazing bikes cheaper for everyone. Instead we get to go though the process of making yet another genre of mountain bike progressively better so you feel bad about what you own and keep spending more and more money on the latest and greatest. Also, modern MTB pants are awesome in the winter. Shorts are still all time in the summer.

First Look: Intend Flash 38 USD Fork & Smooth Operator Compression Valve

I wonder if owners of previous intend forks are feeling fomo and perhaps a bit ripped off that a new fork is released frequently?

SRAM Acquires Active Spider Manufacturer Ochain

@Dougal-SC: SRAM power meters measure cadence and power; I’m not sure if the cadence comes from power readings or it’s read from its own meter in the spindle. It’ll be very interesting how SRAM does it if it happens. Perhaps it is too hard to engage or disengage pedalling from the power meter only, but from my arm chair, it’d be more difficult to relate it to what the flight attendant suspension is doing unless they change the amount of free play instead of a full disengage.
