Review: Hope HB.916 - Better Late Than Never
I’m curious as to why Seb tried different forks on the bike but not a different shock. Seems like he was unhappy with the rear of the bike, but went and changed to a fork that matched it to find balance, rather than changing out the shock to match the fork? Maybe he had the forks on hand, but with the pull pinkbike has, seems odd that he wouldn’t be able to get a coil shock to try.

Review: Hope HB.916 - Better Late Than Never
Can attest to this as well. My HB916 has been fantastic. Bike pedals very well for an enduro bike, especially with how well it goes downhill. I also changed out the suspension to to an EXT e-Storia and have been playing with a Manitou Mezzer and EXT era v2 up front. Didn’t try the ohlins 38, and the ttx22m.2 coil was good but I’ve always loved my ext shocks. Hope T4 V4 brakes are unreal too. Having swapped shocks a couple times I don’t remember any clearance issues on the seatstay bridge but I’ll double check it tonight and confirm.

First Ride: The New RockShox Vivid Ultimate Shock
The MegNeg only adds more negative volume to the SDU, which then requires higher pressures to hit the same sag point, making the shock more progressive. This works well on some bikes, not so well on others. It looks as though the vivid has increased the size of positive chamber in proportion to the negative chamber size, which should give a more linear curve. Although with HBO and the air-spring progression, using full travel may still be a challenge.

Review: Formula Cura 4 Brakes
Great review Matt! Stoked to hear the sintered pads were the change you needed to really get the power and feel you were after. It’s great to see the Curas getting some attention even after being out for quite a few years now. They are fantastic brakes. Sounds like I need to get a set again with the FCS lever to try out.

Bike Check: Aimi Kenyon's Santa Cruz V10 - Fort William DH World Cup 2023
I don’t think it’s all that big with a reach adjust headset. Assuming she’s using a 8-10mm adjustment, running the bike in the low position, that puts the reach at ~450mm? Which is inline with a lot of mediums.
