First Ride: The 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy Has Been Fully Reinvented, But Remains a Joy
They literally built an older Norco Optic. Goes to show you how ahead of its time that bike was.

The Legendary (and Sketchy) Vintage Bikes We’d Love to Ride Again
Yeti SB-6C. I ended up buying this bike in 2017 and for the time it was extremely good. It actually changed my ability and made me a better rider.

First Look: Trek's TQ-Powered 2026 Fuel+ eMTB
@mikekazimer: 485 reach is pushing it for a 5'10" male. I wonder how many ML's they sold in previous gens verse XXL. IMO opinion if you are going to have 5 sizes. 430 S, 455 M, 475 L, 495 XL, 520 XXL

They got rid of the best reason to own Trek for the average size male. They got rid of the ML size.

Fazua Launch New KickOverrun Feature With Free Firmware Update
I feel bad the bike manufacturers who spec'd Fauza and are dealing with the aftermath. These motors are complete garbage. Notice how no one is specifying Fauza in their new bikes.

First Ride: YT Decoy SN 29
Imagine the QA/QC and warranty manager at YT knowing how miserable there life is going to be for the next 2 years with them knowing how many bikes are come back on warranty with Fauza motor issues. Other than that great looking bike.

Ari Bikes Announces First Satellite Location in Bentonville, AR
@CustardCountry: If I would answer that question with a region it would be Pacific North West. That encompass the following areas. Whistler, Squamish, Vancouver, Bellingham, Eastern Seattle area (Tiger, Raging, Duthie), Olympia Area. There is some also great areas in south Washington and Northern Oregon but this area IMO is the mountain bike mecca of North America and the area that I would travel to if I was from another country or a flatter part of the country.
