Peter Sagan Announces Plans to Race XC at the 2024 Olympics After his Road Racing Retirement
@Theysayivebeentheone: damm, racing junior at the age of three. Impressive, most impressive.
I think other than the Olympics which he flatted 5 billion times in he has won every single MTB race has done in recent history.

Video: 5 Trail Bikes Ridden & Rated - Field Test Roundtable
@salespunk:
I suspect that in a blind test, you would be unable to tell that the Norco is a way cheaper bike than others. Where as bikes in the $1.5K range do have have real performance compromises.

Field Test: 2023 Norco Fluid - The Reasonably Priced One
@Rubberelli: Or they do a very limited number of bikes in the top-end spec. If you only make 5 of them, it doesn't take that long to be out of stock.

First Look: 2023 Orbea Oiz - A Modern XC Machine
@laupe: Regressive means that the deeper you get into the travel the less force it takes to move the rear wheel.
Regressive suspension ratios are often matched with air shocks and XC bikes which are designed to be ridden with low sag values.
A bike with regressive ratio that runs 30% sag is going to require a ton of volume spacers in the shock to prevent bottom out. Where as a bike that runs 20% sag needs a regressive ratio to get full wheel travel. Particularly an XC bike which doesn't experience the same peak forces as a trail bike.
