The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: What Fenders Pinkbike's Editors Actually Use
I use a bolt on Mudhugger, and take it off over the summer. Every autumn I go for one wet ride before I remember to put it on, and it's incredible how shitty it is compared to having a decent sized fender up front. No idea how I survived my whole childhood of muddy rides without a fender.

woah, not normally into frames this boutique, but that's cool. That seat post mast is awesome.

Video: 2023 Red Bull Joyride Highlights
re: your re: subscriptions comment, 100% agree, I live on the border of a state so having multiple territories download/sync'ed is critical, Trailforks is an awesome app that I don't mind supporting at all.
Just learned today that I get an Outside membership out of the deal too, but I have no idea how to watch the film on my TV? Anyone have any advice?

What Geometry Numbers Do the Top Enduro Racers Actually Prefer?
"Progressive" geometry has obviously gone further than necessary for actual race results... but we're also not all pro riders, and a lot of people probably benefit from a more stable + confidence inspiring bike?
It is funny how most new enduro rigs are slacker than anything these pros say they want though. Hell, a Transition Spire is slacker than the new Commencal Supreme DH.

AFAIK this is the first we've seen anything of this new alloy frame. Looks good.

Downcountry Fork Review: Öhlins RXF34 m.2 vs Fox 34
I don't know, I think they should've compared the Ohlins to a fork purchased on Amazon.

First Look: Revel's New Rail 29
I've got a Rascal and couldn't be happier with it, CBF feels like it has far more travel than it does and Revel absolutely nailed the geometry for what I use it for, bit on the conservative side compared to some brands but it just works extremely well. If I was in the market for a bigger bike this would be at the top of my list.
