Asa Vermette & Gracey Hemstreet are the 2026 Red Bull Hardline Tasmania Champions
Why are they doing seedings anyway in an invitational? They probably knew the weather forecast. Why didn’t they do the race yesterday???

First Ride: The Yeti LTe Wants to Go Fast
My speech! Would be nice to combine the slim dji 800wh battery with the bosch motor, so the bike wouldn’t look as pregnant. Why is Bosch not able to produce a similar battery???

First Ride: Shimano's New XTR M9220 Pedals & Updated SPD Cleat Design
Multi-directional entry: that’s exactly why I bought the Hope Union pedals. Very useful for enduro racing.
Unfortunately they failed on a high speed gap jump with a slightly uphill landing. The axle broke but I luckily stayed on the bike (got new ones on guarantee!).
And recently the clip mechanism itself broke (had to buy new ones since not self repairable and guarantee was over).
Another disadvantage of the Hope pedals: you can never try other people’s bikes as the Hopes have proprietary cleats.
Might change, but not for 100 Euros more than the boutique Hopes…

The New Commencal Meta Power SX Uses DJI's Avinox Motor
@thekaiser: they should just produce a second accu so people and companies have a choice. They sure have enough volume to do so.
“New” Orbea Wild and SC Bullit look nice but their accus are just too small. REX are no good solution especially not ideal for COG.

The New Commencal Meta Power SX Uses DJI's Avinox Motor
Hard to believe that Bosch can’t produce a similarly slim 800 wh accu, since they are using the same cell technology.
Bosch bikes would look less Moby Dick like that way.
I would prefer the Bosch system because reliable and proven.

Nice! But prices are not direct sales like. But somehow they have to finance Amaury, Loris & co…
