Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride
@ChazzMichaelMichaels: Yes and I think the "high-end" carbon, used bike market is the worst one of all for resale. If you're looking to spend $2000 on a bike you are not really the person looking for carbon everything, xx1 this, xtr that, kashima this, titanium bolts that. You're also not looking for 8-10yrs old. You'd probably rather buy a 2024 Stumpy Comp.

Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride
I can tell you this much. I wish the Facebook groups would read this article and focus on the oldest ones. Because I'm not even getting a click or an offer on my 2016-2018 used bikes that were $9000 new and I'm selling now for well under $2k.

Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride
I'm good with the 2019's for this article but the 2022's and 2023's is silly. My "new" bike is a 2023 and I ride like 5 days a week. The 2026 isn't even different, it's the same bike. I'd be more interested in this with more bikes from the 2016-2020 range.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Pinkbike Tech Editors' Preferred Handlebars
My opinion is its because of crazy steep STA on everything now. Everyone "feels" like they are about to scrape their chin on the front tire and they don't like it.

Allied Fitz Review: The XC Rider's Trail Bike?
But I do agree i hope the analogy is wrong. If I ever get a new trail bike these are literally the two options i was debating. Fitz vs. Rascal and I don't know that I want the lovable Labrador. What about some nice, nimble sheep dog or whatever?

UCI Announces There Will Be No eMTB XC World Cup in 2026
I mean we have lots of motorized sports, so I don't think it's dumb on it's own. The issue is it's always mixed with traditional MTB racing. Like if the Flintstones and their neighbors showed up to race with their own category at a NASCAR race, well that would be dumb. But if they are off racing on their own now that's something I might watch!

ENVE Releases New XC28 Wheels: A 1,516g Carbon Wheelset for $1,400
@whitebirdfeathers: I think $1699 now but they have some with 370 hubs on sale for like $950. My gut tells me maybe they're doing away with the 370 build?
