In this episode of All About Bikes, Pivot founder Chris Cocalis and host Jens Staudt sit down with the Pivot Factory Racing Enduro team, Morgane Charre, Ed Masters and Matt Walker, to talk about the all-new Firebird.
Ethan Eggert is hard at work refining his Arid Cycles Spade Enduro bike, which has gone through three different suspension layouts, numerous geometry and kinematic tweaks, and one catastrophically broken frame — and he's just 19 years old. We sat down with Ethan to get the whole story — including his plans to eventually offer bikes for sale — and it's a good one.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ MembershipThis Week's Gear GiveawayTOPICS & TIMES:Ethan's background & the inspiration behind Arid (1:30)The Spade V1 & learning how to design a frame (7:02)Geometry, suspension kinematics, & radical experimentation (13:37)The Spade V2 & refining the recipe (21:53)Frame failure (24:46)The Spade V3 (28:56)Commercialization & next steps (37:27)OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDGEAR:30Blister PodcastOff The Couch Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Tom Marvin and Jack Luke recap on a busy period for mountain bike launches, kicking off with the Specialized Status 2 – an interesting do-it-all shred sled that offers the unusual option to run a 27.5/26in mullet wheel setup on smaller sizes. The pair then discuss the fourth generation of Trek's all-rounder Top Fuel, which gets lightly updated geometry, suspension and in-frame storage for 2025. We then round out with the Lapierre Spicy and YT Decoy SN – two hard-hitting enduro bikes with very different views on what makes the ‘best' enduro bike. · https://www.bikeradar.com/news/specialized-status-2 · https://www.bikeradar.com/news/2025-trek-top-fuel-gen-4 · https://www.bikeradar.com/news/lapierre-spicy-cf · https://www.bikeradar.com/news/yt-decoy-sn Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike, Matt, and Jason talk about current enduro bikes from KTM, Beta and Sherco, and which bike we would buy. We get into our best and worst bikes we've ever owned, and discuss the ideal “Frankenbike”. I hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.
In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, we have a quick look back at four key bikes that have launched in the past week.There's the new Giant Reign, which has seen an overhaul to bring it right up to date, as well as Ridley's new Grifn – a bike that blurs the line between road and gravel. In addition, we talk about the new Scott Lumen eMTB. The top-spec model comes in at an eye-watering £14,699, but don't worry, there are cheaper versions too. Hosted on Acast.

The West Coast Cycling Association of Newfoundland and Labrador is holding its inaugural ‘Long Range Enduro' this weekend. It's a 30 kilometer race that combines the endurance of cross-country riding with the speed and excitement of down hill racing.
Our annual Bike of the Year test is a massive undertaking where we tell you which bikes are category-leading, with this year being no exception. Tom, who was in charge of the trail bike category, and Alex, who tested electric mountain bikes for the first time in Bike of the Year history, are joined by Luke to discuss the trials and tribulations of this year's testing, and to discuss Rob's Enduro Bike of the Year category in his absence.

Kavenz founder Giacomo Großehagenbrock got an early start in the mountain bike industry when he landed an internship at Nicolai when he was just 17. He followed that up by founding 77designz, making chainguides, stems, and more, but he still had the itch to design his own bike — so Kavenz and the VHP16 were born. But the story is a lot more complicated — and interesting — than that, so we sat down with Giacomo to get the full rundown, including the trials and tribulations of starting a bike company; the design goals for the VHP16 and all the tradeoffs inherent to bike design; the new VHP18; and a whole lot more.TOPICS & TIMES:Giacomo's introduction to the mountain bike industry (2:22)Founding 77designz (7:12)VHP16 design philosophy (10:14)High-pivot bikes & their tradeoffs (20:01)The new VHP18 (34:49)Mullets (38:41)Giacomo's Big Idea (43:15)RELATED LINKS:Introducing: Blister LabsThis Week's Gear GiveawayGear Giveaway / Newsletter SignupBecome a Blister Member / Get our new Buyer's GuideBlister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideOUR OTHER BLISTER PODCASTSOff The CouchGEAR:30Blister Podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Buying a left over model is a great way to get a good deal. I’ve done this over the years and it’s a fantastic way to get a new bike. You can get 1K or more off those left over floor models. Right now all the dealers are trying to get rid of 2019 models since all the 2020s are in stock and have been coming for months now. This question revolves around whether or not its and XC model or an XC-W Model. THis is VERY important here. Lets start with the XC line since I have even more passionate feelings about the XC-W line this time around. XC Line Pro 2019 Comments This is the last guard of carbureted XC bikes. Simplicity people This bike still has a kick start. I’ll take that. It’s a good thing. The frame didn’t get any major updates. The older bike is pretty much the same in most ways If you can save $700 to $1200 - go this route! XC Line Pro 2020 CommentsThis bike has EFI and TONS of you guys don’t want to play with jetting. 2020 TPI system is much improved from what I can tell over 2019 TPI system. Bikes start better Bike adjust to altitude better TPI bikes run a little smoother from what I can tell. I LOVE the little changes in they made in valving on the forks. Feel more planted and plush (remember to run a lower pressure than 139 psi) XC-W If we were having this conversation a couple of months ago before I had the chance to ride a 2020 XC-W… this would have gone differently. I’d have given you some speech about how the bikes don’t usually improve that much from year to year, so you should save the 1K and put that toward gas and tires. I'm not going to do that here. The 2020 KTM 300XC-W is so much better than my 2019, I don’t even want to own it anymore. If I could drop the mic, it would happen right now.New frame, new fork valving. New geometry in that bike. It’s the best combination of plush front fork to soak everything up while still feeling balanced and aggressive that I’ve ever seen in a bike. It’s stupid good. I’ve ridden it in the mountains back to back with the Beta 200RR and the forks felt more plush. The bike felt heavier to me than the 200RR, but that is to be expected. The point is that the forks gave me the impression the trail was smoother than on the Beta… and the Beta fork was impressing me! I’ve ridden it on the Red Trail near 5 miles of hell… Long story there….but it was fantastic. I have ridden the bike in whoops and it’s staying straight and true and confidence inspiring and Holy crap I want one. I want to dump my 2019 ASAP. Sucks because I need to pour some more hours into it for the long term test. Maybe I’ll ask someone else to keep slamming hours into it and see when it breaks.

Coffee & Chainrings Mountainbike und Rennrad Podcast (MP3 Feed)
Das Kaffeekränzchen ist ganz voll mit MTB Sport. Wie ein roter Faden bleibt das Thema Vereinsmeisterschaft beim MTB Marathon am Rursee die ganze Episode über im Zentrum unserer Gedanken. Wir sprechen über Favoriten, die bereits abgesagt haben und über solche, die für das Rennen brennen. Wie zum Beispiel Ansgar, der nicht einmal mehr einen Hehl aus seiner Favoritenrolle macht und sich exklusiv zum ersten Mal im Coffee & Chainrings Podcast über seine Rolle äußert. Kurz und knapp wie man es von unserer Diva gewohnt ist. Außerdem schwärmen wir heute vom Nürbugring. Sprechen über "Ones in a Life" Themen und haben auch ein paar Testeindrücke für dich parat, u.a. gibts ein paar Worte über das neue Sponser Cool Mint, über den USWE Outlander 2 Trinkrucksack sowie alle Infos zu Daniels Sramimano. Während Daniel also seinem Rad ein Upgrade spendiert, erhält der Rest komplett neue Räder. Wir sprechen über die Neuanschaffungen von Ansgar, Sascha und Tim. Letzterer verabschiedet sich mit seinem Enduro Bike vielleicht sogar vom klassischen MTB-Marathon Sport.
