Loudenvielle Enduro World Cup Preview: Who’s Racing, Stage Stats & What to Expect
@lyfcycles: I think it's a mix of a lot of things (like it always is). For me, the coverage just isn't engaging anymore and the calendar is not exciting - same fairly played out tracks with the exact same format of racing. Add to that, bike brands are moving away from Enduro and putting all their sports marketing budget into downhill. That means a lot of the really exciting riders to watch were left without teams / forced to try their hand at downhill.
I'm at a loss for what can turn it around.

Why Arc’teryx Thinks It Can Outperform Established MTB Brands
Who are the market for Arc'teryx that actually pays full price, and do they mountain bike?
Living in BC, I see their gear on a huge proportion of people, but none of them pay full price for it - they use pro-deals and friends who work there. Sure, they mountain bike (and ski tour, etc.) but Arc aren't making their margins with them.

"We are the only manufacturer that weaves our own composite material."
This isn't correct. TIME braid their own composites from raw spools of fiber too (https://distributor.timebicycles.com/blogs/journal/time-factory-tour-only-one-brand-makes-bicycles-like-this). The main difference is that TIME use resin transfer molding for their frames (fiber goes into mold dry), whereas GIANT turn their raw fiber into prepreg before putting into the molds.
