First Ride: Fox Releases New Grip X & Grip X2 Dampers
This and the fact they're massively over-stocked.

Final Results from the Monster Pro Downhill Series Round 1
Great to see the press conference a la Supercross. Need more of this professionalism surrounding the races, in MTB.

How Much Are World Cup Racers Paid in 2024? - Pinkbike's State of the Sport Survey 2024
@edspratt: That should be very clear off the top of the post/article. Actual respondents matters.

Review: Formula Belva Dual-Crown Enduro Fork
One good side-affect is that the 180 post-mount is good for those with Maven brakes.

Review: Specialized’s New Epic 8 - All the Speed You Need
@skrrtskrrtskrrt: Comparable in weight only... Comparable bike? No... Supercal is full-bore XC design with 80mm of rear travel and no frame storage. New Epic is a XC/trail bike with 120mm travel and frame storage. The comparable design to the Supercaliber would be the Epic World Cup (which weighs 3.89lbs).

First Ride: 2024 Specialized Epic EVO 8
Sorry, correction, the S-works frame w/non Flight Attendant shock is 3.99lb, the standard Epic frame is still a feathery 4.87lb.
Even the heavier normal frame crushing everyone but the Spark frames.

Review: Specialized’s New Epic 8 - All the Speed You Need
Non-Sworks frame is 3.99lbs with shock and hardware! With frame storage compartment and door. For a frame that is intended to be used up to the category of 'trail bike'.
Some frames for comparison:
Santa Cruz Blur (100/110mm): 4.4lbs
Scott Spark (120mm): 4.1-4.4lbs
Transition Spur (120mm): 5.3lbs
Ibis Ripley V4 (120mm): 5.6lbs
Rocky Mountain Element (120mm): 5.35lbs
Yeti SB100 (100mm): 5.5lbs
Revel Ranger (115mm): 6.1lbs
Trek Fop Fuel (120mm): 5.96lbs*
Evil Following (120mm): 6.9lbs
*Denotes frame has storage compartment
(Both these comments cross-posted with other article since same frame)

Crazy that Pinkbike not discussing frame weight here as that's the show stopper. From Bike Rumor, frame weight w/shock and hardware is 3.99lbs. Unreal light for a bike that can be ridden as a trail bike and has frame storage. Major outlier in the market right now with that weight. (also posted on other Epic article since it's the same frame)
