Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride

Based on the lack of new bikes in stock, we will have to be riding our existing bikes for a few more years too.

Review: Specialized's New Turbo Levo 4 Has More Power, More Battery

We don't need more forced restrictions; Class 1 & 3 already exist, and the user should be able to choose based on the riding scenario. My car can go far faster than the speed limit, but I know how to use it. This is like the car manufacturers limiting the car to the current roads limit because they should be the "controller" of your driving. Users should take personal responsibility, let the bike have the settings it is capable of.

OnlyMotion is Launching an Electronic Conversion Kit for Dropper Posts

Before making or developing anything, one should always ask themselves "what problem am I solving"? If there is not a good answer, then there probably does not need to be a product.

First Look: Outlier's Unusual Axle-Free Pedal Designs

@Super7: Luckily it is only $300 Canadian Dollars, which converts to 75 cents I think. :)

First Ride: Fox Neo Feels Like the Next Step in Electronic Suspension

Dr. Mountain Bike Component and Bike Manufacturers, We don't want this shit! We do not want more expensive and complicated bikes. We do not want more batteries to charge and apps to load on our phones. We don't want our phones involved in our mountain biking at all. We want high quality bikes and components that are affordable first, then reliable and high performing. We just want to get on our bikes and go for a ride and socialize with our friends. If you are making a product that hinders this simplicity in any way, then stop. I am all for progress and improving products and new products but before you make anything, ask yourselves "what problem am I solving". Just because you can does not mean you should! To all the riders out there - vote with your wallets. Respectfully, Old Man Yelling at Cloud

Round Up: All the High Rise MTB Handlebars You Can Actually Buy (Updated)

Running Diety Highside 80mm rise bars for about 6 months now with ~20mm of spacers under them on my StumpyEvo. I get a lot of comments and jokes :) but I like the way they bring my body upright. The only downside I notice is on machine made flow trails where you try to get very low over the front tire in berms, but are awesome in natural rough trails.

Review: Specialized Eliminator / Butcher Tires - Great Performance at a Reasonable Price

I have been running both of these tires for a few years now, multiple sets, with very good results. I have settled on the Grid Trail casing in for my riding and they hold up well. I have not had any issues with knobs ripping off but never ride park either. I have since moved to a Spec HillBilly on the front, awesome tire for the North Carolina mountains area and I kept the Eliminator on the rear.
