MSC's Moto Syncro Stem Uses Elastomers for Vibration Damping
Why would you name the model of your stem nearly identical to a component company that primarily makes bars and stems?
That alone makes me question the intelligence of the maker.

Commencal Announces T.E.M.P.O V2 Trail Bike
@chrismac70: plenty of light trail bikes out there for you.
This is one of the first full suspension trail bikes I’ve seen that really appeals to me. I’ve been riding over built hardtails as my trail bike for years because I’ll break the light full sus ones and I don’t want 160-170mm travel on my pedal bike.
Some people enjoy the challenge of being ‘underbiked’ but still ride hard. This bike is for them.

The 12 Women's Bikes of Red Bull Rampage 2026 - Vote For Your Favorite
@Muscovir: that’s the issue with that take though. The jumps and drops HAVE gotten much larger since the original Rampages.
The chutes are also steeper and their are always one or two lines that incorporate a steep raw chute that far exceeds anything in the first 5-10 years of the event.
So it has evolved and gotten gnarlier in the realm you like AND they are now doing tricks too. That’s how sport evolves.

@jackfunk: Fair. Perhaps I should’ve made a general comment addressing the topic instead of responding to your post.
But it did shared some common threads with the larger complaints and I chose to put it here.
Apologies.

Wild Lines & First Hits at Red Bull Rampage 2026
@William42: dude, have you watched any of the content? It didn’t hamper the size or exposure of the features one iota.

This is so tired. As a prime example, to win a modern big mountain freeskiing comp you have to throw tricks. 360s, 720s, double backflips, etc.
Those people are still skiing venues in Alaska or the Bec De Rosses. Does the fact there are tricks mean it’s slopestyle now for skiers too?
The fact is that sports evolve according to the vision of the riders pushing the limits. They think the ultimate version of Freeride includes tricks. The features they are hitting (with tricks) are so outside of slopestyle. You would literally explode hitting those drops on a slope bike.

The main front triangle is a “bar” too in mechanical linkage design.
Think of it as the “bar” that contains the main pivots the rest of the linkage attaches to. Without that bar and the fixed pivot location the linkage would be free floating and indeterminate.
