Specialized Levo R Review: Does a Short Travel, Full Power eMTB Make Sense?
I've actually ridden this bike, unlike basically everyone commenting. I think it makes sense for most e-bike purchasers, which is according to actual data, not angry comments is someone who's in their 50s doesn't need a ton of travel. They want to get out and ride and have the bike be a bit more manageable. It's a pretty fun bike, and it makes sense from a product perspective. The tuning on the Specialized motors is actually very good.
It feels super intuitive, and you definitely notice it's a bit lighter weight. That being said, they're still in a tough economic situation with a lot more entrants to the space at better price points.

Ugly or Amazing? Vote on Mountain Biking's Most Polarizing Products
This article sucks. It's implying that aesthetics should trump function and stop people from taking risks for aesthetic reasons. All of these things push the industry further, and being shallow and saying it's ugly is reductive. You try making something then. Better to make something ugly and functional than to be a critic just bitching about it on the sidelines.

Review: Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox
It makes sense, bike sizes went insane and got too big and now there’s a bit of a correction so unless you’re super long in the torso, it doesn’t make sense to ride an xl most of the time if you don’t want your bike to handle like a shopping cart

Review: Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox
SRAM must be about to release a new drivetrain, blowing 2 chains that quickly is terrible
Plus I’ve been seeing T-type on sale

First Ride: The Shuvl eMTB Can Work With Any Motor, But at What Cost?
I think it's cool and innovative. It doesn't have to be a racy bike. This could be a great option for people who just want modularity and aren't concerned with getting their front wheel off the ground ever.
