First Look: Hope's New EVO Brake Range
they are great, and I'm not convinced I could justify the upgrade either.
But reduced piston spacing and a revised cam on the lever definitely both have my interest.

Pinkbike Poll: Is Nature Part Of The Appeal Of Mountain Biking?
Just to chime in: actually the scenery is only one element of nature that matters for me. Love to see/ hear deer, buzzards, cuckoos or whatever else is going on during the ride to the next trail.
Really the nice view matters a lot less than the tranquility and sense of isness you get from nature. This was one of the turn offs for me when I had an ebike.. the constant whir and bombing through it all in a rush to get to the next trail - the zen was lost for me. Hence I’m back on an old plodder these days, silently grinding my way back up the hill, breathing in the atmosphere as I go

Pinkbike Poll: Should Downhill Bikes Have More Than 200 Millimeters of Travel?
In terms of longer travel or the back: worth noting that people run way more sag at the back than the front, implying a greater ratio of positive to negative travel vs the fork. It’s possible, I haven’t done the maths, that the negative travel is much closer front to back.
If that’s the case you might ask why people don’t want more positive travel on the front.

Review: Zerode G3 - A Belt Driven, Gearbox Equipped DH Bike
It did. 5kg weight difference is possibly the more significant damper though?

5 Things We Learned from Red Bull Hardline Tasmania
@commental: but not knowing means I was denied the opportunity to moan about it not being live. Now all I have is the poor substitute of moaning about not knowing it wasn’t live

Opinion: The Big Short - Smaller Wheels Don't Require Shorter Chainstays
In fact, they only still have them on road bikes because of the UCI
