Thats one of the reason I like riding my gravel bike. S1 and S2 trails are really nice and somewhat challenging again. On the weekends it's also great fun to show off before the weekend warriors and embarass them with their long travel nonsense on those trails.

To all the haters, you're lacking perspective. How about we tell all men that they can ride womes bikes from now on? Surley there is no diffrence, so there won't be any problem with it? Maybe men even wear the same sized and cut clothes from now on? "Men" would look good in high heels too. Or maybe all women should wear "mens" sized clothing from now on? No? Why not? Maybe because it's stupid? Why shouldn't we give everyone a free choice to ride what ever the hell they want to? Since it's clearly working for clothes and other stuff? Fact is: Most bikes are designed by men for men, because they're the biggest demographic in cycling; on road or off road (or any kind of sports for that matter). Liv Bikes in sizes XXS, XS, S are a godsend for every adult under 165cm. Different carbon layup also makes a lot of sense, men are in general heavier than women, especially within the same range of body height. More choice is always better.

Almost nobody cares for Hope in Germany. Here they are as "popular" as Tune, Race Face, Trickstuff etc.pp. They are niche. Most Riders havn't even heard of Hope. Nobody cares for Newman either, but they are with Cube Bikes, so they kind of count under a sales perspective.

Offenburg was, and is still, pretty awesome. But will never see a XCO again on this one.

Looks like an Element.

Srsly? You totaly lost me at "converting from metric to imperial for the simple mindet people". Because it's way easier in imperial.... yeah, right. Stupid Yanks.

What is a "Whyte"? Never heared of it before.

Not a surpirse at all. After all my, work related, encounters with Advanced Sports over the last 6 years, i was asking myself "How are they still in business?". Had been a long time coming. Maybe i can get my hands on a cheap Fuji SL1 Frame...

came here for Cross Country galore. Got disapointed.
