Please Don't Dumb Down the Trails
@poozank: Some of us got broken, old and fat, but can still rip the downs with no e-bike in future sight. However after 55 years of riding dirt I have seen so much change I will not say never.

Honda Teases Latest eMTB Prototype as Production Nears
@WRCDH: I stuffed a JDM DC5-R drivetrain into a NA EP3. It's a great toy and bike hauler and occasionally wears a canoe for a hat.

8 Pro Racers React to 2027 Enduro World Cup Cancellation
Naw, they are all just trail bikes in the end. XC, Downcountry, Trail, All Mountain, Enduro, Freeride, Downhill. They are all just foot-cycles ridden on trails in the woods and we all like riding foot-cycles in the woods.

Reader Story: Creating a Hardtail Designed For Compliance, Not Strength
When we were kids back in the early 70's, one of the guys ended up with a girls frame. Straight tube with with same kind of look to this one. He had a gusset brazed in similar to strengthen the bottom bracket area. It got built into a homemade bmx / trailbike like we all built and rode. I remember it being quite smooth to ride. Even though we busted his chops constantly for riding a girls bike, it actually looked good all painted up. Thanks for the memory reminder.

Intend Releases Elevator Dropper Seat Post
It is a stupid amount, but not out of line of everything else. That works out to about 625.00 Canuckistani Pesos. I just had my 185mm BikeYoke Revive serviced last week. I looked up its replacement cost for insurance purposes. I had to have a lie-down as the price is 650.00 - which means it has almost doubled in price since I bought it.

Air Bag Protectors Could Revolutionize Safety in Downhill Racing - Here's What We Know So Far
@kashimadaddy: And that is the catch. I can remember days where I bailed a half dozen times or more when sessioning something. Mostly out the front door or highsiding then a good tumble. Usually walked away from those days with nothing more than a few bruises and scrapes. That could get expensive.
Would a sketchy jump off the front with the associated mad scramble run-out trying not to face plant be enough to trigger it? I have had a few offs that it would have been nice to have as broken bones suck, but also a lot more where it was not required.
For race day when you are pushing or just over the line, yes most definitely.
