First Ride: The 2026 Santa Cruz Tallboy Has Been Fully Reinvented, But Remains a Joy
Also, how could CC be the only option? You can't have your top-level exclusive model also be the base model. Imagine if Specialized just announced "from now on, all our frames are considered S-WORKS". This feels like an april fool's thing.

First Ride: The Trek Top Fuel Gets Lightly Revised for 2025
Sweet logo! Because nothing shows class and attention to design quite like some italic Ariel font. Looks like a 6y.olds first attempt at WortArt
Sick bike regardless. Trek nearly always hit the nail on the head for 90% of consumers.

OneUp Announces New Hubs
The included grease is actually a nice and important touch when it comes to maintenance and serviceability.
I think thats one of the weaknesses of the DT design - it's so easy to open and clean, but then people tend to use standard thick grease, not realizing it's likely to wear out the ratchet teeth.
Providing the correct grease shows OneUp is putting their money where their mouth is, and actually trying to improve serviceability.

Formula Announces 10 Year Support Promise & 2 Year Transferable Warranty
@DizzyNinja: i agree with people's descriptions here.
Caliper is of very high quality and sexy finish. Small, but with large pistons that deliver power i found comparable to my guide rsc's. Power delivery is smooth, more sram than shimano like. Lever dead stroke is very minimal right out of the gate, which is one of the cura's selling points for many people. Very low maintenance- bleeds last longer than all other brakes ive owned, and pistons rarely get sticky.
The cons? Power is there, certainly stronger than they look, but there are more powerful options. Lever is a bit narrow imho, and the adjustment screw at the base is fiddly and hard to reach.

Formula Announces 10 Year Support Promise & 2 Year Transferable Warranty
Yes!!!! Such approach is significantly more sustainable than half the green-washing other companies do. Releasing new shiny products with little backwards compatibility. I hope it pays off! For me, this guarantee can really tip the scales in favor of formula when buying a new set of brakes.
Regardless, my 5 year old cura is still going strong and showing little signs of wear. Very solid product.
