Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
@GTscoob: I replaced my truck with a Mazda3 hatchback about two years ago, and I love it. The Mazda gets better mileage, it's tons of fun to drive, and is a lousy truck. Aside from having much less utility, I scraped something in the ground at the trailhead at my home trails and did about $1500 damage that wouldn't have happened in a small truck with more clearance. A car with more clearance (aka a subaru crossover etc.) doesn't get much better mileage than a 4 cyl tacoma - it's basically the worst of both worlds to me, but for someone else it might be perfect. Everything is a trade-off and there is a legitimate use-case for a small truck to be a daily driver for a lot of people (especially the weekend warrior types that are well represented on this website.)

there's a lot of truck-hate on here! A tacoma (or its equivalent) is a good daily if you can only have one vehicle. If you need a car, a truck will do fine, but if you need a truck (which most of us do at least every month or two) then a car is a poor substitute. I had an '02 Tacoma for 20 years, loved that thing and it never let me down.

Review: Whyte Elyte 150 Works - 'One of the Best Handling E-Bikes'
Give it another 5 years or so more years of development and I think they'll get there. I'll start considering when they have: full power integrated motor & gearbox with a belt drive, dual crown fork, dropper post & about 20-21 Kilos/45ish lbs.

They're making regular bikes heavier so Ebikes don't seem so heavy by comparison

Fezzari Bicycles Rebrands to 'Ari’ & Announces New Lightweight All-Mountain eMTB
The Fezzari name was terrible, they had an opportunity to change it, and they changed it something slightly less terrible. I have no idea if the leadership of this company are "actual" mountain bikers or not, but Fezzari and Ari both sound like corpo-names generated by AI.

There is no way litigation is 9% of GDP. That would be more than two TRILLION dollars.

Review: Lewis LHT Ultimate Brakes - Clones or Contenders?
The fact that they have two patents pending, and a genuinely different system for adjustments, undercuts the whole "this is just a trickstuff knockoff" argument.

First Look: Intend Hover Opt Shock
For a high end shock like this to not have independent hi and lo speed rebound adjustability seems like a miss to me. Having to send it to Germany (I guess?) for a retune seems dumb when those are adjustments I normally make depending on what kind of riding im planning to do that day.
