We’re throwing it 🔙 to August of 2012 with @n

We’re throwing it 🔙 to August of 2012 with @nschurter and his 27.5” Scott Scale XC race bike “Nino dominated the 2012 World Cup season on his 27.5-inch-wheeled Scott race bikes, but he didn’t win every race, and one of his few losses that year was a huge disappointment to him. Nino raced his 27.5″ bike in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to Kulhavy in the long, final sprint to the finish line in one of the most exciting cross-country races in history. ‘Jaro’ was on a 29-incher, and Nino was on the 27.5, and Nino must have decided that the bigger wheels gave Kulhavy an advantage in the final sprint.”

@dvosuspension bring the technology first introduced on the Onyx 38 to their Diamond series of forks 💎 Upgraded with a robust 3️⃣6️⃣mm chassis to deliver increased control on rough trails, a redesigned crown with increased knob clearance, their SL air spring, remastered D1 damper, and an all new 3D machining process for incredible alignment and that buttery smooth feel 🧈, it is safe to say the Diamond got quite the facelift. Keep your eyes peeled for a full-length review after we’ve had some time to put DVO’s new fork through its paces 💯

Rocky Mountain’s all-new Altitude is here 🏔️ The new bike sees quite a major departure from the previous version, with the rear shock sitting low in the frame and using a revamped version of their LC2R suspension layout. The frame also gets the longer and slacker treatment and PenaltyBox 2.0 in-frame storage 📦 Our first ride impressions are up on the home page, be on the lookout for a long-term review in the next couple months 👀

👀 @propain_bicycles has introduced the Sresh CF

👀 @propain_bicycles has introduced the Sresh CF, a shorter-travel, “lightweight” e-MTB that still delivers full power ⚡️, filling a gap in their growing bike lineup. Integrating a @shimanomtb EP801 drive system and a proprietary 626 Wh battery 🔋, Propain claims that the Sresh can be built up with a weight of just under 21 kg. Do you like the idea of shorter travel e-MTBs with full-size motors? Or would you rather see a less powerful motor with a bigger battery? Let us know in the comments!

“Tinker Juarez was racing for Volvo/Cannondale w

“Tinker Juarez was racing for Volvo/Cannondale when I shot this photo of him at Mt. Snow, Vermont, in August of 2001. It was the final NORBA National Championship XC series for that year, and Tinker ended up being the top American finisher in the race.” - @ker_john

At this point, Tinker had long been one of the top XC racers in the States and had won the NORBA overall XC title in 1994, 1995, and 1998, along with a gold medal 🥇 at the 1995 Pan Am Games. He’s still going strong today at the age of 63, giving him one of the longest professional cycling careers in history 🏆

@yoshimuracycling has introduced their new Chilao SS pedal, which features a patent pending Static Spring mechanism that preloads the outer bearing against the pedal’s endcap and eliminates side load variability 👀 the new Chilao SS pedals are also thinner than ever and are a claimed 18 grams lighter than their predecessor. We’ve got a pair on the way for testing, be on the lookout for a review soon!
