One Less Battery: Fox's E-Optimized Transfer Neo Dropper Hardwires Directly Into an E-Bike
Wouldn’t this be a good thing for a local bike shop which is already a challenging business to keep afloat? Maybe we shouldn’t be so fast to criticize customers that keep people employed and receiving paychecks?

Orbea Rallon - M20 - Gold/Black - Sz XL

$2450 USD
2022 Orbea Rallon M20 – XL – Excellent Condition – 400 Miles Selling my 2022 Orbea Rallon M20 in size XL. This bike has been meticulously maintained and is in excellent condition with less than 400 miles of riding. It’s been an incredible enduro bike that climbs efficiently and absolutely shines on the descents. The only reason I’m selling is that I’ve purchased an Orbea Wild eMTB, so this one isn’t getting the trail time it deserves. The bike is stock with the dependable Shimano SLX drivetrain, Fox 38 Performance fork, Fox Float X Performance shock, Shimano 4-piston brakes, and Race Face wheelset. Everything is functioning exactly as it should with no mechanical issues. The frame is clean with only minor cosmetic wear consistent with normal trail use. If you’re looking for a modern long-travel 29er that pedals well, inspires confidence on technical terrain, and is ready to ride, this Rallon won’t disappoint. Highlights * 2022 Orbea Rallon M20 * Size XL * Less than 400 miles * Excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition * Fox 38 Performance fork (170mm) * Fox Float X Performance rear shock (160mm) * Shimano SLX 12-speed drivetrain * Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes * Race Face aluminum wheels * Ready to ride Geometry (Size XL) * Reach: 500 mm * Stack: 644 mm * Head Tube Angle: 64° * Seat Tube Angle (effective): 77° * Seat Tube Length: 470 mm * Chainstay Length: 442 mm * Wheelbase: 1,309 mm * Bottom Bracket Drop: 35 mm * Head Tube Length: 140 mm Feel free to message me with any questions or for additional photos.

Nerding Out: You're Measuring Sag Wrong, But That's OK
I do not understand this article/product - I can only assume it was based on how motorcycles measure sag on a rear shock but that is mainly because access to a motorcycle rear shock is typically restricted. For motorcycles with shocks that are exposed and accessible they will often measure sag exactly as we do on mountain bikes. Sag, generally, should be viewed as nothing more than a window to get the spring rate in roughly the correct range (+/- 3-4%). 30% sag is completely meaningless as a value - 30% wheel sag might be right for bike A and complete garbage for bike B. What you really need is accuracy & consistency in measurement of the spring rate for your specific bike. For an airshock there is no more accurate & consistent measurement than a digital shock pump.

10 Things I Loved in 2024: Matt Beer
Matt - Pinkbike should review the Stark Varg. I think it would be really interesting to see some e-moto crossover with e-bike/mtb riders who also ride Moto.

Pinkbike Poll: What Does Your Ideal E-Bike Battery Look Like?
Id really like to be able to fly with my e bike. Either rent battery at any destination or make them modular & small individual capacity so you can fly with them

First Ride: Focus Jam² 2025
I have the previous version of this bike and it’s awesome especially considering the discounts that were available for the last year or so. ~€4000 euro for a 160/150 bike with good geo and a Bosch 750wh system? Absolutely yea,, but hey if you’re really that bothered by where the cables enter the frame feel free to spend 2x as much for a bike that rides basically the same. Also I had to zip tie the battery door after the first one broke off and was replaced by warranty.

First Ride: Fox Neo Feels Like the Next Step in Electronic Suspension
Ok but can it be run without the sensors using the handlebar mount to change lock/open modes? I feel like that’s the most reliable, best compromise solution. Essentially just a wireless lockout where you can tune the firm mode to your desired compression setting.

First Ride: e*thirteen's Sidekick Hub Elegantly Isolates Suspension Movement
Soooooo theoretically instead of the bike industry highlighting a new “problem” and developing many “fixes” that will cost hundreds of dollars to purchase to solve said problem…. Couldn’t the bike companies just design bikes with a lot less anti-squat and customers who want that experience just buy those bikes?

First Ride: 2025 Santa Cruz Hightower - The Big Wheeled Bronson
I ride them on my full power 60lb e-bike and after a simple pad swap they’re actually really good brakes. Sure they lack features but you pull the lever and the bike stops pretty damn well. I wouldn’t complain too much about simple features if they work well.
