Bike Check: The 170mm Custom Steel Zoceli Built for Schwalbe’s 32" Tires
@wburnes: whats the logic behind this comment. Folks can't have an opposing opinion? No one is for forcing you to share the same opinion. You're welcome to circle jerk around a concept, folks can also be critical of things or speak their mind. Additioanlly, they said forced to ride 29 and they even wrote effectively which means practicly speaking, not literally, considering 27 vs 29 options.

I don't see anyone with a problem. It's the bike industry trying to force hype around it and market it like its the next big thing while its likely going to be a niche thing. You know, like when a major brand thinks they're going to eliminate the option for mechanical shifters cuz AXS. And its honestly exhausting. We don't need new bikes or even gear every year. Also tell me about bikes that are attainable and fully thought out and in production, not some tall engineers wet dream or what seems like desperate companies trying to figure out where to pivot towards to make the next bag.

10 Father's Day Gift Ideas for the Mountain Bike Dad
If I was planning to travel and ride all over the country, I would snag one. Or if I was a trucker or someone who traveled a lot for work. Or, if I lived within a maximum few hours of a few parks. Otherwise, I looked at it and can't see the value. I can ride as much as I want at the park a day trip away from me for the same money.

Didn't notice until you mentioned it. I like the consistent girth. Looks clean.

First Look: Orbea's New Oiz is Focused Solely on XC Racing
Nice, designing a bike to do a specific thing, rather than draw in the maximum amount of customers, like a breathe of fresh air.

The welds are hideous. First thing I noticed. Pass. Sign me up for a $10k frame.

Canyon Releases 2026 Torque AL, a 180mm Freeride Machine for Only 3999€
@daweil: It's still overpriced. I obviously get what you are saying but I still think $5k for a bicycle is crazy unless you are talking small/boutique brands. The US is a shithole right now run by a rapist which is not helping anyone and I can't tell you how much that impacts what we are seeing but I would be willing to bet if we snapped our fingers and everything stabilized back ti pre covid, bike industry would tell us to get fucked, price is not changing.

They used Euro only to keep it under 5k. Only 5k. Only. Just pocket change guys.
