First Look: The $865 Push SV8 Coil Shock
@603roost: I have an EXT Storia Lok V3 purchased this Summer and it doesn't make any noise. In the past I've had all my Fox/RS shocks modified by Avalanche so I'm used to high performance shocks - this EXT works excellent, very happy with it.

While we're at it a reminder to QUIT DUMBING DOWN THE TRAIL FEATURES in general.

The inline ski bikes look interesting, but these tricycle versions just seem dumb - like having two little skis and then an outrigger. Why not just ski on 2 skis instead of 3 ? As a comment above said, what makes these any funner and better than skis ?
I'm not sure the inline ones are any funner but at least they are a different experience and the balance factor might make them sketchier fun.

Field Test Review: 2023 Unno Burn - You Know You're Curious
i'm 5'11" but with longer torso shorter legs and have always run a 150mm dropper and has never once felt like it was too high or in my way, so yeah I don't get it either, but maybe an extra inch or two of leg length/height makes all the difference.

Field Test Review: 2024 Commencal Meta 5 SX - Supercross for a Reason
Yeah that's been bothering me for a long time the way many reviewers praise a lot of AS. Too much AS is too much. Pedalling efficiency on smooth road is not the same as tech climbing. Need to have a balance.

Video: Welcome to the 2023 Enduro Bike Field Test
Yeah I kind of agree - reminds me of a Lamborghini where they add just a few too many scoops, flares and vents. Its too bad as the original Unno frames were true works of art. From what I understand they are now made in Asia which kind of subverts the whole company gestalt they started with anyway.

Bike Check: Gee Atherton's AM.170
I've got 8 weeks on my AM.150 and loving it. I love the build process and the way it looks, and the rear suspension lives up to the hype. Great bike.
