8 Pro Race Bikes from the BC Bike Race 2024

Those tires have no grip nor traction at higher pressures. Speed is also limited due to the long braking distance. You can't hit the brakes as hard as when riding a minion otherwise you'd loose traction and probably end up eating dust. Due to the above, you also hit objects at a way lower speed than what you would on a trail/all-mountain bike.

First Ride: The 2025 Specialized Stumpjumper Has a New Dual Chamber Air Shock

Exactly, reason why I just bought an old frame at more than 60% off. Hard pass at that price and none of this BS of shit engineering Sram only transmission and proprietary shock.

Bike Check: Martin Maes' Orbea Rallon

I'd bet it is due to inconsistency in spring rate of the SLS springs. They tend to be quite far from the declared value and vary significantly from one to the other. Consistency is key for racing.
