Avinox Issues Statement on eBike Power, Speed, and Safety
For real, a bunch of defensive unsupported claims and things not relevant to mtbs (cargo bikes on trails?). Clearly written by AI. Did think it was funny they brought up needing to fix the vagueness of existing ebike power regulations given that they've exploited that as a loophole the sell their stupid powerful motors

The New Giant Stance & Liv Embolden: How Much Bike Does $2,300 Get You in 2026?
Entry level forks aren't rocket science and Giant has serious engineering and manufacturing chops, I wouldn't be surprised if these house brand forks end up far better than equivalent RS/Fox models would be

First Ride: The 2027 RockShox Zeb and Lyrik Add Features, Weight
I'm not lightweight but the current gen seems to have very little damping, it just feels overly stiff because you blow through travel with little resistance until you slam into the air spring ramp up

State Bike's Refreshed 4130 Hardtail: Still $1,500
The thing that made the biggest difference to me was adding cushcore in the rear wheel and running less tire pressure. Also learning to ride differently, choosing the smoothest line and keeping your legs active rather than just dropping your heels and plowing thru chunk like you would on a FS

Review: Maxxis' New Dissector Tire is Fast & Versatile
The only issue with the current dissector is how fast the side knobs undercut. Hope this new one lasts longer.

Comment: Fork Alignment & Friction in the Fox Podium Fork
Fox has never cared about obvious misalignment or manufacturing tolerances before, why would they start now?

First Look: Push Launches New VT/X Shock & Drops Prices
@PUSH: what's the difference between the MTB and emtb tunes? Also how do you accommodate for a wide range of spring weights and progression of various suspension designs without a HSR adjustment? A 700lb spring on a progressive frame must have a much higher rebound force near bottom out than a 525lb spring on a linear frame
