    Frame Protection Wrap for a Rise?

    Hey guys, this isn’t a tailored kit but more of a universal option that we made in partnership with DYEDBRO and we put them on all our test bikes. https://store.theloamwolf.com/products/matte-e-bike-frame-protector Plus you can get them for 20% off. I enjoy the thread and seeing what you guys...

    The E-mtb "Fitness" question: is it achievable in "eco" power mode (or the lowest equivalent)...Yes? No? Maybe?

    Hey Guys, Drew from Loam Wolf here. We actually made a fun video showing what a “power hour” looks like aboard both an ebike and non-e. Heart rate monitor and all that. Same trails, and some interesting results! Check it out and hope you enjoy it.

    The loser of the test: Trek Rail 9.9.

    Thanks Oupy, to further agree, we are very aware of the price, commitment and potentially long wait times and it would suck to be disappointed after going through all that. Hopefully in our round table discussion and other reviews, our concern is shown to viewers. It's why some may view us as...

    The loser of the test: Trek Rail 9.9.

    H Hey Guys, Drew from Loam Wolf here, really appreciate you all watching/reading our reviews and discussing them. First up, I wanted to address the above comment about the Canyon feeling "balanced." There's a lot more than just reach that goes into this and to be honest, I personally would love...

    Buy the 22 Rail 9 or wait for the 9.8XT?

    Having ridden and tested both extensively, if I was spending my own cash, I'd likely get the "older" geometry as that's the biggest issue for me. I do like the longer range of the 720, there are some slight improvements in how it handles super high speed chunder, but the shorter reach numbers...

    I Love Youtube EMTB Reviewers BUT

    Thanks and you certainly seem to have caught on to a few things over your time as a reader/rider. I've thought the same thing, even during presentations Intense would tout that top riders (moto) helped test/ride/give input and I'm like, well that's great but is Honda going to listen to a pro MTB...

    I Love Youtube EMTB Reviewers BUT

    Hey Richie, Totally appreciate and understand your perspective, as well as that of many others here. I can say from experience of being a MTB media kook for the last 9 years, I witness first hand how testers criticize or talk about traits on bikes/products while we're at media camps or test...

    Anyone tried Eddy Current tyres ?

    Howdy fellas, not to hijack but since it's on topic. We have ridden nearly 30 sets of Eddy Current tires on everything from Southern California desert (super rocky and rough) to Oregon loam. We love the tire on ALMOST everything! The only weak spot we've found is in fall months when pine needles...
