Video: Practice Highlights - Aletsch Arena Enduro World Cup

Interesting opinion from someone who lives in an area that lives from tourism. I have never been biking in Switzerland and don't know who there builds trails and lifts or gondolas.

Louise Ferguson Shares Injury Update Two Months On From Fracturing Multiple Vertebra At South Korea World Cup

My neighbour got a slipped disc in that area one year ago when biking, he could not lift his right arm and shoulder - now he can lift it halfway and it probably will stay like this. Nerves usually don't heal, but non-damaged other nervestrains can take over some of the functions afaik, but only so much. Wishing all the best for Louise!

E-Bike Specs Decoded: What Peak Power, Torque, and Assistance Ratios Really Mean

As most e-bikers only use the three fastest gears and shifting is done with the left thumb (from sport to turbo mode), one could do the math the other way around. How much torque at 35rpm?

Poll: What Would You Change About Bike Geometry?

My do-it-all bike is still my 2016 140mm hardtail with a 64 HA and short reach and ultra short chainstays. I am always wondering where my 170mm rig would make sense around here.

Video: Raphaela Richter's Winning Run from the 2026 Megavalanche

I always thought there would be some kind of maximum time where riders that are too late are pulled out to make way for the next group? Rapha handled it well, but imagining all those following her having to pass all those slow folks stumbling down the hill everywhere!

First Ride: The Shuvl eMTB Can Work With Any Motor, But at What Cost?

If I could have had bought this Shuvl bike in 1975, I would have mounted a 2-stroke engine into that frame, and would have updated it today with an Avinox. But not as a "mobility option", only just for fun. The "mobility option" every granny is riding these days ist made of aluminum and weighs 30kgs.

2026 Andorra DH World Cup Elite Q2 Qualifying Results

IMHO this qualifying system does not do justice to all those riders that are just 1 or 2 seconds out, and their fans that want to see them and watch them racing. For Warner Bros it may be an efficient way to broadcast, as too many riders - like it was before - can make viewers confused and bored out. Now everything is neatly packed into a quite short time format for the viewer - but for riders and teams it must be horrible. Only hoping for some social media featuring them. Seeding before racing on World Cup on local level events (IXS Cup etc) seems to be impractible. Sponsors and elite athletes want to be seen worldwide. This system is leading to a F1 kind of event, where only top sponsors stay in and the occasional lucky privateer.

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit

My 510mm were measured by my wife, so it must be correct. I liked when I pulled my grips out on the bar to test 820mm, but it´s unrideable anyway because the trees are too tight on the trails. 760 on the trailbike, 800 on the enduro. My first MTB had 560mm with j-bends.

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit

510mm here at 200cm tall. I always considered myself very slim and never went to a gym. Only bones no meat.
