Suba Cycles' Flow is a High-Pivot Steel Creation from Spain
@onawalk: I think you know exactly what he’s talking about.
This one’s similar to the Dave weagle linkage on evil bikes but with the high pivot, gearbox and steel frame it all looks even more complicated.

Opinion: Save the Turns, Stop the Straightlines
@DoubleCrownAddict: to counter the argument, the trail is the trail. It’s how fast you can go within its limits that is the skill and satisfaction at the end. If you want a straight line trail then find the one that’s black diamond/ designed to be that way, but don’t try to twist an intentional trail into something it’s not.

Here’s an idea; hide a motion-activated video camera in the bushes. Grab a snapshot of the culprit who removed your logs, print them out and post it at the trailheads and at the straight lines. Public shaming always works.

Slack Randoms: Honda's eMTB Concept, Explosive Popcorn Makers, Crushing Lithium Ion Batteries & More
Why is everyone shiting on the Honda bike? It’s bloody awesome. People complain about wanting something out of the box and when they see it they just mock and complain

Field Test Review: 2024 Nicolai Nucleon 16 Supre - The Silent Plow
Give me a light nimble efficient bike that needs lots of body language to get down an hill over a lethargic barge that eats downhills any day. Unless you crave the adrenaline of pure speed and big jumps, a poppy bike is just more fun.

Your argument doesn’t check out; what’s the equivalence between wheel size and electrification of bikes?

How did this insanity got signed off is a miracle but I’m happy to see it. Aero bars and drop bars on a ~60lb e-mtb with luggage racks… what the hell??

Day 1 Randoms: Bespoked Show 2023
Deck the actofive out with Ingrid components and goddam, pure art and engineering. In 60 years the plastic frames will be forgotten but these will appreciate in value.

Specialized tell us you made another Horst link without telling us you made another Horst link.
