Video: Average Rider & Wyn Masters VS Val di Sole World Championship Track (It Doesn't Go Well)
They both did! I loved seeing Wyn's coach-like guidance on line choice whilst riding his single-crown bike. We need a "bike check" for both Charlie and Wyn!!!

Enduro Bike Checks: The Setups That Win in Whistler
That's a good question. Last year I swapped out a 170mm Lyrik for a 180mm Zeb on my Evolink, which has 140mm travel. The stock fork config is 160. No downsides for trail/enduro riding. When I need to climb or pedal, the bike is ready. When I want to charge rock gardens, the bike is ready. Do any stock bikes come with these kinds of specs?

Specialized vs Santa Cruz vs Carbon Wasp - We Review Each Other's XC Bikes
But, of course, without the xenophobic punch-downs de jour of TG. Totally boring on that. I’d prefer a Roadkill type situation. They nail the format.

Bike Check: Dylan Maples' Modified Pivot Phoenix
What is the wheelbase measurement? Tech? Front center? Interesting whether this is all the rider’s personal preference or a decent formula.

First Ride: The 2027 Scott Spark RC Keeps the Shock Hidden and Gets Even Lighter
@cycleskiclimb: I couldn't understand the word until I stopped reading with French pronunciation. "Qu'est-ce que c'est une 'ballache'?"

Race Replay: 2026 Beech Mountain Bike Park - Downhill Southeast Round 4
Watch the replay to learn what commentary should be. I believe it was one commentator’s first time in the booth, and she provided lots of smart insights in real time. Nice!
