Review: Shimano XT 8220 Brakes - More Consistency, Same Value
“Please make sure to tell our customers it’s THEIR fault out perfectly product sucks. THEY must have done something wrong bleeding it. Wandering bite point is a myth, the real problems is the end users inability to do a proper bleed. We are Shimano, we are perfect in every way. Our customers are just morons.
Cool?
You will put that in the article right? It will be a good review? Cool, when we launch a new ebike motor in 2038 we will remember this and fly you to the launch in New Zealand for 12 days.”

Staff Ride: Dario's Santa Cruz Tallboy, 3 Years Later
Santa Cruz nailed this bike. A piggyback shock makes a huge difference. A supremely capable bike. I wish it was a little lighter but I agree with almost everything here. Definitely a lot of noise and chain slap but I never felt the need to run an ochain or similar device. I appreciated how snappy it was pedaling and it ate up big miles almost as good as an XC bike while not feeling sketchy on the downs.
The new one has a lot to live up to and given that Santa Cruz is all about e-bikes these days (RIP Megatower) I’m not optimistic. Their regular bikes seem like an afterthought these days.

The Ibis Oso eMTB Gets a Makeover - One Frame, Three Travel Options
@SimbaandHiggins: perception has become reality. If it’s not obsolete why did Pivot rush an Avinox bike to market. Just wait a few months for all the Avinox bikes to be 20% off. These things might not be sellable at 2/3 the price. Between this and the Ripley being a dud it might be the end for Ibis.

The Ibis Oso eMTB Gets a Makeover - One Frame, Three Travel Options
Did Ibis learn nothing from screwing up the Ripley/Ripmo and making them one frame?
Add in that it has an obsolete motor and a frame costs almost as much as a complete Amflow and this thing is dead on arrival.
It’s a shame. I am a huge Ibis fan but this thing is going to go down as one of the first avinox casualties.

First Ride: The Santa Cruz Nomad 7 Gets Slightly Slacker and Slimmer
The majority of their sales are overweight SUV/e-bikes and their “enthusiast cars” are bloated and sell to nerds who care about having the right “spec” to post on social media and not actually driving them.
And the Chinese market (Avinox) is causing massive financial losses to both of them.

First Look: Pivot Shuttle AMP'd with Avinox's M2S Motor
The fact pivot rushed this to market shows you that all the Avinox social media marketing has been dead on effective and the Bosch motor is dead.
Sure, this this will be 20% off in a few months but the Bosch bikes will gathering dust in the showroom at even greater discounts.
