Review: Formula Belva Dual-Crown Enduro Fork
honestly though... for what EWS rides, why wouldn't a ZEB/38 come with a dual-crown option? Its just a crown and a few more grams?

Video: Jackson Goldstone in Queenstown for 'Dreams'
It really would cool to watch the telementry to compare riders... I'd be willing to bet that Jackson is one of the smoothest and most precise, while probably the fastest at railing corners. The way he scrubs, lines, and compresses down these courses are just next level. he'll go down as one of the great likes a Gwin, Atherton, Bruni, and maybe one day long from now Minnar.

Jackson Goldstone After Hardline Crash - 'I've Most Likely Torn My MCL'
Man this sucks for possibly one of the most gifted talents we may have ever seen. I dunno, I am all for pushing the limits but Redbull and Monster are more X-games for style, form and uniqueness than 'racing' UCI competitive downhill or EWS racing.. I'm all for Jackson riding what he wants, just why compromise one for another.

Revel Releases Tirade Titanium Hardtail
Steel is real. Geo is pretty standard, nothing that exciting here folks. In the Eastern rockies, I still see many people slam Fox38/Zebs running 160ish on their Rootdown and clones... I like that Revel spec'd a Lyrik. Zeb/Fox 38 is too stiff and heavy, though supple in use of its mid-stroke, and is basically designed for gravity oriented riding on a full suspension bike. Being that a Chromag Rootdown is designed to be very capable down, but also capable everywhere else, a proper 'Trail' (even enduro) fork provides that balance of needed stiffness, without being fatiguing, while the latest from a 36/Lyrik/Diamond/Ohlins has just as much of the advanced features you'd find in Zeb/Fox38. A Hardtail is not ment to be a downhill bike, so it doesn't need a downhill fork.

Review: Norco Fluid FS Carbon - A Comfortable Companion
Another question I have... if the Fluid came out to be a goliath killer at its initial price point, is it still? Can this boutqiue Carbon Fluid out perform a much older Stumpjumper Carbon or S-works

Review: Norco Fluid FS Carbon - A Comfortable Companion
its a pretty standard geo formula... 470-490 reach, 64-65 HTA, 76-77 STA, 435 CS for most L Trail/Enduro bike I guess my question is... is this really that much of an evolution from the optic? I didn't realize how close the Carbon bikes looked like each other and the slightly larger diameter shock.

Injury Update from Gee Atherton
Not sure Gwin, Gee, Minaar, nor our guy Cathro should still be challenging themselves at that level. Nothing to prove really, and they all did it with far less support and inferior tech... (cept maybe Minar's Honda lol)

First Look: Haro Returns With the Saguaro Hardtail
@JonDud: building a bike with a similar length of bike to a traditional one, so its completely useless on switchbacks, while being able to turn it with a very long front/slack front end (to put you in a better, more safe descent position) requires a shorter chain stay. That said, my torrent is 420, which I love, but that makes me have to really ride the fork on descent, so riding style is different. If it were stretched back to something similar to my reach, the rear CS would grow by 50MM, add more stability plowing straight, but would be harder to initiate turns and would also be like a 1330+ MM bike in Large.
