Spot Bikes Launches the Diggity 125
Spot does it again! I have been on a gen 1 Mayhem for the past 4 seasons. I love the thing, it climbs, it shreds, it is a trail bike, it does what a trail bike should, makes riding a blast! Very controlled, pops when you want it to. I like it so much I picked up a gen 2 150 I'm building up now. Then along come a gen 2 130 frame on the cheap. Suddenly I have 3 Mayhems! I demoed the gen 3 140 at the Spot headquarters in Golden. WOW, it's on the list when funds allow. The Diggity will be the sweet spot for many riders who don't need or want the bigger travel of the 140 but want something more then the Ryve. This thing will rip I am sure. Spot builds the best bikes on the market today IMHO. Just sell all your other bikes and get on a SPOT!

First Ride: Spot Mayhem 140 - A Trail Bike With a Titanium Leaf Spring
I still love the looks of my gen 1 Mayhem. I was considering going to the 150, but the new layout is very intriguing. All the funny questions and statements. No creaking issues, zero bearing replacements, extremely well designed and manufactured. One bolt snapped the head off, not sure how that even happened, replaced with a steel one. Over 2k on it. It's super responsive, it is a trail bike, feels like a trial bike rides like a trails bike.......it's almost.like it's designed to be a trail bike. Very burly, I did some park days on it, I bumped the fork to 150 and a 1 deg headset. This bike begs for speed, it needs to be ridden hard. Yes the leafspring works, it's not dramatic but does exactly what it's designed to do.

Pinkbike Poll: How Long Do You Keep Your Bike?
I keep my old bike, I either hold onto it so my kids can ride, or keep it as a back up for when my daily is down for service. Also nice to have multiple purpose specific bike set ups when I add to the quiver it is to fill a gap.

Banshee Phantom - Review
I have a Phantom, it really rips! It is so tight and responsive, yet I was surprised how plush it is off the top. It pedals awesome, corners on rails. Might be the perfect trail bike!

BMC Speedfox 02 Trailcrew - Review
Yes kids old guys can still rip it up! Nice to see BCM come out with a 27.5 trial machine. My son has a BCM Superstroke 150-165 APS. The thring is a beast, a bit too heavy to be a KOM killer on most trails but it is super versatile. He uses it for trail and lift service light DH stuff. BMC build great bikes, well known for road and tri bikes. I also had a DW bike, while it was much less travel and a light bike, the APS is close super plush. I woulds very much consider this as my next ride.
