First Ride: The 2025 Specialized Stumpjumper Has a New Dual Chamber Air Shock

They killed it with the Epic, Epic Evo, Chisel as well as the Aluminum Crux. Not sure of this one - no mechanical shifting and limited build options without a proprietary fork. Also, lack of progressiveness with a coil?

Shimano Files Patent Detailing Machine Learning for Automatic Suspension Control

I know that the general consensus of readers of pinkbike are anti-electronic crap, and I am mostly too - but I think this is a space where machine learning could actually positively impact riders. The amount of input data gathered per second is just too large and too trail/rider specific to do any sort of generalized algorithm with. Being able to adjust settings on the fly based on your regular riding habits could lead to some really cool implications, especially if it tends to learn your home trails. Usually AI/Machine learning is just a corporate buzzword but this is the sort of thing that it actually excels at. Not something I'd buy until it's completely fleshed out and integrated into existing suspension products, but not the worst electronic idea for bikes I've ever heard.

Electric-Powered Weirdness from Eurobike 2023

"Hardtail, drop bars, rigid fork and MTB tires. We are not sure what they were going for with this." A good time is what, you ever ridden monstercross on singletrack? Most fun you'll have on your local trails

Wolf Tooth Introduces ReMote Pro Dropper Lever

Made in USA, it'll be a bit pricier. Plus the fit and finish of these is definitely worth the slight price increase over a plastic KS lever.

Limar's Etna Helmet Focuses on Comfort & Coverage - Taipei Cycle Show 2023

I love my Switchblade without the faceplate - but it's a really hot helmet. Giro also has the Tyrant, which is a bit more vented and similar.

SRAM Releases Stealth Brake Lineup

I actually like this better than the new Eagle release today - it's great for flatbar bikepacking setups!

Development Story: SRAM's New Eagle Transmission

I like your funny words, engineering man. Can't wait to snap my rear triangle instead of the UDH! Will be cool for sponsored Athletes, but we'll see how many snapped/dented frames result from this. Maybe it'll be great! Glad theres some innovation going on, even if it's unlikely that I'll ever buy it lol
