Pinkbike's Tech Editors Pick Their Ideal MTB Geometry Numbers (2026 Edition)
Give me 67/76 in a 130/130....
All of this too slack for bikes that I like to ride to the trail.

First Ride: Canyon Lux Trail - Light, Slack, and Ready For Long Rides
@ak-77: what I'm saying is they took away the neuron, made the Lux a Neuron and killed off the actual XC fun bike option.
66 Deg was a solid 1.5 deg too slow already for non-pro xc riding, being quite lethargic at the lower paced movements us normal folk.
So now that entire segment just ceases to exist and for what? A 1?2? Lb lighter Neuron replacement? Kill it with fire.

65% is a sloppy sloppy boy for slow speed and road use. Not everything has to be built only for bombing down trails at high speed.

I'm actually pretty pissed about this NGL. The Lux Trail was already getting too slack... this is just straight up not an XC bike.
Canyon already had the Neuron for this class of travel, now there is a gigantic gaping hole between the world cup and their 3 trail bikes (this, Neuron, Spectral).

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
@BenPea: realistically that's about what I use it for. It's more capable than that, and from time to time I do that... but yeah mile munching 95% of the time. Which I think is true for most people, I'm just honest enough to admit it hahaha.

I've recently moved down to 710s as a 183cm male, and have liked that overall. I think mtb is in for a reeval after a solid decade of making every single type of bike way way more capable. When I moved down, I realized my 157cm wife was still on 780s and cut her down to around 700. She is much much happier with that so far.

Review: Berd Hawk 30 Gold Wheels – Ultra-Light and Subtly Forgiving
I'm sure thats what they'd say, but it still isnt a valid excuse. Experienced wheelbuilders will be fine with these, and they (wheelbuilders) still wont commonly have berd spokes lying around to get a quick turnaround back into riding.

Enduro Tech Randoms: Leogang World Cup 2026
@vinay: of course its nothing new hahaha. Just even more sad because these chinese companies will deliver you a frameset and fork perfectly faced, but fox and rockshox cant be bothered.

Enduro Tech Randoms: Leogang World Cup 2026
@LM-CZ: which while true is immensely frustrating because end of the day, manufacturer could just deliver properly faced components as standard. They just dont bother apparently. Bike industry manufacturer tolerances are really quite poor on the whole.
