@mrmikebikes: was that with the shock?

13 Bikes of the First Trans Caledonia Multi-Day Enduro Stage Race

Same, I'm glad they're still around. So many of these small manufacturers disappear and I had honestly forgotten about them, so sick.

Specialized vs Santa Cruz vs Carbon Wasp - We Review Each Other's XC Bikes

Wild to think the Carbon Wasp geo is the future seeing as how something like the RM Element has been there for like 4 years now...

Tech Randoms: Lenzerheide XC World Cup 2026

@padrefan1982: previous Element is probably my favorite bike I've ever owned, up there with the first gen Sentinel. Wish I would've tried it with a 120 for racing before selling it for a "proper", aka boring, race rig.

Tech Randoms: Lenzerheide XC World Cup 2026

I know there's a guy from Ireland I believe who races some WCs and rides an Element (Chris Dawson), not sure if that's his though.

Tech Randoms: Lenzerheide XC World Cup 2026

Anyone know if that linkage on the Element is something special? Moved from the last gen Element to an Epic 8 and contemplating going back to this new one with the lower weight.

First Ride: Specialized Epic 9 - Unapologetically Race-Focused

I was so excited about the Epic 8 but this is very underwhelming to me. Maybe in year or two if I sell my Epic 8 I'd consider this, but I see very little improvements over the Epic 8. That sort of weight difference does not make a difference in results for 99.9% of the population.

First Ride: Marin Tam - Fast, Flashy, and Aluminum

Honestly 2200 g for a frame isn't bad at all, this is such a good entry point for people who want to dabble in XC.

Race Face's Era SL Handlebar Offers Positive or Negative Rise

@DC1988: some of us ride and then still hit real trails on the setup, it's not that bad if you adjust to it.
