First Look: Cube Goes High-Pivot With the New Fritzz Enduro Bike

@Sluni: pro Enduro bikes are always around that weight. Yes you could go with a Lyrik / superdeluxe and thin tires, but then it's not an Enduro bike anymore. Also high pivot + glovebox must add weight

Continental Expands Gravity Line With 13 New Tire Options

Xynotal Downhill Soft is a very good choice here, grip is good enough even on softer soil in my opinion and it wears much better (slower) than Schwalbe Soft / Maxxis Maxxterra.

First Ride: Santa Cruz Updates the Blur - More Travel, More Weight, More Fun?

Disadvantage would be needing an absurd long seatpost if you have long legs

First Ride: Pole Hiisi With Maxon Air S Motor

Wouldn't buy this, but the pink shaded silver (at least looks that way in the pictures) is a thing of beauty.

Kali’s New Kru Full Face Helmet Has a Titanium Chin Bar, & It Looks... Different

Breathability? Idk After having done some rides with a fullface on between 30 and 40°C lately I can say heat sucks, but the chin bar on my fox and ixs light fullface helmets are some centimeters away from my mouth, and the air can flow freely around it or through the huge ventilation openings. I'm not against trying new stuff - but the breathing argument is a very weak one in my mind. That being said this thing looks worse than the dental brace I had to wear as a kid so hard pass anyways.

First Ride: Canyon Lux Trail - Light, Slack, and Ready For Long Rides

Canyon might be boring and mainstream, but they keep doing things right. Good bikes all around, now fixing old flaws (headset), staying with good specs for the intended use case and great value. All while the bikes look really good imho. And on top of that they support elite racing teams. Can't not give them props.

Race Analysis: Wet Weather Chaos & Impressive Comebacks at the 2026 Val di Fassa Enduro World Cup

Insane how tight the margins are. The level is so high. Thanks for the write-up, the best way to shine light on Enduro racing is giving it a high priority on news which it deserves.
