Is it just my impression, or is this news getting very little attention across the various (e)MTB sites?

so is Avinox not compliant in Germany?

@Greg Watts right, I forgot to mention that I'd like to try the SwithGrade Pro. Currently I use a SQlab 612 (non active) but I could consider switching to an "active" model if there's more clearance for the SwitchGrade. Do you have the link to the nsmb forum post? I couldn't find it.

@Greg Watts I’m a fan of SQLab saddles and I’d also like to try the SwitchGrade. Since the shell of the SQLab saddle is “lowered” in the central section (compared to the rear), the shell itself ends up quite close to the saddle rails. I would therefore like to know whether there is any...

Let’s hope it gets adopted soon by other, more widespread brands, because if the rumors about a lighter Avinox motor by the end of the year are true... The same goes for the rumors about a TQ Full Power - if that’s true, they’d better hurry up.

Thanks for the link - so these are custom-developed cells. Pretty impressive. Beyond all the updates and new features of the Avinox system (and the bikes built around it), the 700 Wh battery might actually be the most significant step forward here - even if motor numbers are what get most of...

here New Avinox M2S and M2 Motor System on Test: The Rise of DJI? the FP700 is said to use 4680 cells, but looking at its size and shape, that seems questionable. The dimensions just don’t really line up what you'd expect for a 36V battery built with 4680 cells - feels more like a different or...

the 1up USA website gives "ACCESS DENIED We’re sorry, but our website isn’t available in your location right now. Thank you for your understanding." in Italy. The problem is that here we can only have towbars on our cars, not the hitch used overseas (which is clearly superior for this application)

From what I understand about the Eightpins system: ISPS integration: How the Eightpins dropper post works within the Frame the seatpost tube is supplied very long, and then each user can shorten it according to their needs. However, it also seems to me that the seat tubes themselves are quite...

if you don’t know him, he’s worth following. The experiments he’s doing with frames are remarkable too! Instagram

I should add that, because of my age and not only that, I don’t always feel like pushing myself to my limits, but at the same speed I feel much more confident.

I had tried a 40 mm one (paired with a handlebar with 12° of sweep!), but it absolutely didn’t work on my bike. On top of that, the handlebar would drop quite a lot.

At first it seems so ugly and/or strange because we’re not used to it. As for Hattie wondering whether to raise the handlebar even more, I can confirm that during my various tests I reached a point where, for me and my bike geo, it was too high. Basically, I didn’t feel comfortable cornering...

Great idea to run this test, @Rob Rides EMTB. On my end, together with a friend, I’m already on the third different size of homemade stems, tested both with and without various spacers (up to 20 mm), and with two different handlebar rises. I wouldn’t go back for anything in the world!

@Greg Watts Could it be that they offer two different versions of the Avinox engine?
