Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
I've always felt that bar width isn't a complete picture either, hand position is what really matters. It would make more sense if people measured from the center of the rubber of their grips instead of the edges of their handlebars without grips.
A rider with dual clamping grips and 800cm bars could very well be riding narrower than a rider with 780mm bars and inner clamping grips.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Care What Your Bike Looks Like?
@TheR: The lauf uses a BSA bottom bracket as the frame pivot which forgives nearly any number of sins in my book.
I am a single pivot junkie though...

Pinkbike Poll: What Type of Mountain Biking Do You Do the Most?
I always thought trail meant steady riding not quite broken up into segments, and enduro meant big long climbs followed by equally big descents.
Also, that enduro sees the climb as a toll paid to the bike gods rather than a proper part of the ride.

Feb 4, 2026Orange Switch 6 Large
$2400 USDSelling my 2024 Orange Switch 6. Awesome bike handmade in the UK, but need to sell to make room for another bike.
This bike was bought as the LE model, but has had some component changes.
Stock components include:
-Fox Performance suspension, lightly used as I spent a most of my time with the bike on a different suspension setup
-Stans Flow MK4 rims with Hope Pro4 hubs
-SDG Tellis dropper post, 170mm
Swapped parts include:
-Full Shimano XT drivetrain, except SLX derailleur and XTR chainring. 170mm cranks
- Sram G2 R brakes, brand new/unridden
-SDG Radar saddle
-PNW stem and Spank bars
The bike is in excellent condition and rides great, but I need to downsize and my shorter travel bike gets more use. Blemishes pictures are the only noticable paint chip on the frame near the shock mount, and some marks on the cranks which were taken from a previous bike.
Local pickup or ship at buyers expense. Would consider trades for a comparable size small trail bike. Feel free to message me with any questions!

Pinkbike Poll: What's Your Ideal Wheel Size for a Modern Trail or Enduro Bike?
I'm right at 5'10 and would go for a split option. Mullet on my enduro and 29 on my trail bike.
