Pretty sure his breakout year was 13 years ago

Can we never use discount Imagine Dragons in a MTB edit again? Thank you

But I want to brag about how I've gotten my 140mm travel trail bike to weigh as much as some DH bikes

Would be a bit out of place in the narrative of a bike review after all

Mind elaborating how this is how socialism works?

That air spring kinematics seems pretty awful. There's a reason behind the Vorsprung Secus creating a more linear spring through the entirety of the travel, unlike this fork which seeks little small bump sensitivity and soft mid stroke support. Perhaps coil sprung forks and open bath dampers are the ideal setup for actual hard charging through rough stuff, with not much room for improvement apart from dumb ideas that can be marketed to consumers despite not actually making improvements. The only tangible improvement in suspension I foresee is position sensitive dampers like the dt swiss fork being tuned for heavy charging in mind, and more active electronic control systems that can adjust HSC and LSC rates based on current riding conditions. TLDR; an open bath, coil sprung, position sensitive, electronic damper control fork would probably be an amazing piece of kit

Was this written on the fabled night mentioned in the podcast?

@xxinsert-name-herexx: That doesn't exactly extend the reach however

Or you could put it on your ten year old bike and save thousands by gaining a modern slackened out geometry
