Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
@ratedgg13: Did you take a look at the new Santa Cruz bikes all equipped with these news drivetrains ? New MSRPs are like 15-20% off versus prior top of the line models that had old gen X01/XX1 AXS drivetrains.
SC also ditched Fox forks in favor of Rockshox, clearly SRAM knows what they're doing regarding OEM pricing and of course that kind of technlology is not going to be cheap for a little while.

YT Launch Capra Core 3 Model
Very good specs for the price, swap out the Code Rs for Code RSCs and call it a day.
SRAM must be pushing their now old gen drivetrains & brakes for a ridiculously low price to manufacturers.

First Look: Giant's Aluminum Stance E+ Uses Flex-Stays
Love how people are trashing this bike as nobody was once a beginner and new to the sport, this bike is really versatile for what it is while also looking pretty good for that price range.
It seems really capable for light trail use and can also be transformed into a nice commuter, Giant really nailed it here.
800Wh battery option for that category is quite something when you consider that some high end brands as Santa Cruz are still selling some of their top of line bikes with a 630Wh in 2023.

What Type of eMTB Should You Buy in 2023?
The hate/whine we see online doesn't really translate on the trails which is interesting. These people are big talkers on the internet, but it's another story in real life.
Friendly comments and funny discusions are happening on pretty much all climbs for me, but you do have to be polite and respect the other riders out there.

Pinkbike Poll: Why Don't We Wear Full-Face Helmets More Often?
I always wear my full face and honestly it's not too bad (100% Trajecta), drawbacks are insignificant against the protection I get.

Sure sound like SRAM is about to drop their new MTB AXS line up any day now.

SC must be starting to sweat a bit, should've kept paying that VPP patent!

Sam Pilgrim Signs with Canyon
Love how Canyon are providing their team riders with some kind of entry level parts like Code Rs, GX drivetrain & Rockshox Select level suspensions.
