It's often been the reverse - Giant updates the men's bike and then Liv release the women's. That was the case for this Pique coming out a year after the Anthem update. Same on the road side - Propel, then Enviliv a year later. TCR then Langma a year later. So if you like this bike but want a men's version, the Anthem from model year 2022 onward is what you're after.

First Look: Pinarello Renews Focus on MTB with Dogma XC & XC Now Available in FS & HT

It's crazy this article hypes everything thats either the same (headset cables & flex pivot) or useless (asymmetry) about this bike, but doesn't make much mention at all about the truly innovative Hirth joint in the main pivot. That Hirth joint allows them to drop the bridge / shelf on the chainstays at the BB, which adds tire clearance and removes a problem point for mud/stone accumulation on all other frames. It's nearly the only good thing about this bike, and gets no mention?!?!

Race Day Photo Epic: Châtel EDR World Cup 2023

I think we got something of an explanation for that in 2019?

Race Day Photo Epic: Châtel EDR World Cup 2023

So why does everyone have spiderman capsules on their wrists? Timing, or a strategy for sticking to the roots?

Photo Epic: Leogang XC World Cup 2023

I'm more concerned about Mona Mitterwallner apparently winning the XCC on Friday... WTF? I appreciate the coverage, and we all make mistakes, but surely no one who's seen Mona race would think she'd topped an XCC podium lately. It would be nice if someone on staff was more than a casual follower of XC. Looking at the comments section again though, and you get a sense of how few people come to Pinkbike for XC stuff vs their other content, so...

Bike Check: The New Pivot Mach 4 SL

Pro Stealth - from the profile, I'm guessing it's the curve model. https://www.pro-bikegear.com/us/road/saddles/stealth-curved-team-saddle I have one on my road bike - very light and still very stiff/solid, like the flatter stealth saddles, but with a bit more support for when you're in a more aggressive position.

Specialized Cuts Global Ambassador Program

Yes, people losing their job happens all the time. Losing it with zero notice is quite a bit worse. Losing with zero notice at the very end of a finite hiring season is the part that really sucks here. If Specialized really had any value for these employees (who were really hired to bleed Big S's everywhere they could - and DID), then they would have done this differently. Clearly they didn't care enough to do this in a respectful way, thus it's a dick move by Spec.
