2023 Pinkbike Awards: Mountain Bike of the Year Nominees
You must be new here.... PB has addressed the lack of Evil bikes in their test fleet many times. It basically just comes down to Evil not sending them bikes to test. They've requested them many times but they just don't see the value of sending bikes in for testing, I guess.

RockShox Trek Race Team Disbands, Confirms Rumour That Vali Höll Will Be On New Team for 2024
Bicycle racing is a marketing exercise... these teams don't generate their own revenue. The market is crashing after the Covid bubble burst, so it's not surprising to see so many teams shutting down. Revenue is down, so the marketing budget goes down. Shuttering a racing program is a quick way to save a lot of money.

I think this has less to do with UCI and more to do with the bike industry as a whole choking on all the inventory they piled up after the Covid bubble burst.

Pinkbike Poll: What's The Least Awful Word That Means 'Not An E-Bike'?
Beat me to it. I think Dario said this in a video a while back and it's stuck with me since.

100% this. Even with health insurance, whoever had the worst injury in the US had the most expensive fail.

Video: Are We Finally Ready for the Automatic Groupset?
Amazing... never even thought of that as an option, but I guess for someone who hasn't learned how to shift properly, it might be easier to change assist modes, haha. Perfect example of people using something in a completely different manner than it was designed for.

@danger13: This Shimano drivetrain also only applies to e-bikes, so they're targeting the same group. That said, I don't think the Pinion system auto-shifts yet, so they're a little behind in that regard. If they can make the Pinion offer the same auto-shifting options that this Shimano setup does, they'll be miles ahead.

The UCI should definitely just start calling them first and second moto, haha.
