    The All New Forestal e-Siryon v2 Avinox

    Yeah not everyone ride the same nor need that travel. On my end I have a 180/170 bike but with 50nm so I really consider this forestial an interesting option but at the same time, there are huge chances that in October we might find better/greater deal

    The All New Forestal e-Siryon v2 Avinox

    Not really the same travel bike nor same category to me, glad for you it does the trick! I always buy the new before selling the old ... nasty operation is that sometime the old cannot achieve to be sold

    Velduro M1 Owners: Anyone else chasing an upgrade?

    You miss the point I am referring too. Being yourself a little business owner is irrelevant to their situation. By law you cannot sell under cost price right? And you have to pay your providers and employees. Therefore you need to grasp that as they are very very little and the discount you...

    Velduro M1 Owners: Anyone else chasing an upgrade?

    Why could they offer a discount? Again you are completely misleading from envy/ideal. How could they gave a discount as all they bought to ship and build a bike were brand new and full price for them? M1 is still sold by Avinox, this is not a deprecated product by any means. We all get that...

    Velduro M1 Owners: Anyone else chasing an upgrade?

    This is the real world honestly, you buy something it is outdated soon, could be weeks, month. If you buy a bike and think day 1 that this is an investment and you care that much about residual value and resell, please don´t buy a bike, find a way to rent / lease one. You buy a bike that do...

    The All New Forestal e-Siryon v2 Avinox

    October 2026 is not that bad especially for 6600 euro no? This is pretty good price considering this is had really good travel and component on the Halō version, even if not totally awesome, are descent enough. I might honestly consider it but impossible to test one unfortunately.

    Big Specialized MSRP price drops !!

    Prices are definitely too high, which is also a very bad situation for used bike. Who in his sane mind would buy a used 8k bike? Today you buy something at 10k, next year you would won the lottery if you succeed to sell it for 5k. Brand should sell more and more frameset, even if it would...

    Big Specialized MSRP price drops !!

    What a joke ... Real issue is that they really put ebike on the scene with their motor, partnership with motor brand, they never created anything ... Last Brose motor pushed back 18-24 month, for reliability reason on previous gen, is making this gen4 totally outdated. It is not totally the...

    Clik Valves

    Yeah on my end it was the granite design vavle, I think the threads do not start as early as their own design. I am really too lazy to buy compatible valve, open the tyre, loose a bit of juice, change the complete valve ...

    Clik Valves

    fwiw I just tried the corecap on existing valve, removing the presta of course, and I can screw it maybe 1-2 turn, it seems tight but on a gravity bike this is not a gamble I can take. I saw several people complaining about compatibility and well I fall into that one so sad then I look at...

    Clik Valves

    Not sure it resonates to me… I mean clog is the main issue of presta alongside it can be bent and unusable. Having a lever on the pump and a standard valve is far superior to me atm. People can really be princess at times…

    Clik Valves

    Let’s have in mind that now we have several other solution like BBB and Topeak. Both are not introducing new type of valve which is 100% better. BBB is even better on paper as it works through shradder. Gonna test it soon.

    Other Trek Slash+ 9.7 – worth buying now? Looking for advice (TQ motor, high pivot, parts, battery)

    I think the major issue is the size, if you are borderline and can take the L by few centimeter, go M if you want to enjoy a way better playful bike. The more I ride it, the more at 5'10 / 178cm tall, L is not what I should pick, so I am going to sell as soon as I can. I just cannot make...

    If your motor sounds like this, it is toasted.

    Sea Otter 2026: EMTB Specific Highlights

    Still do not understand the propain proposition honestly ... why 160mm rear? Seriously ... I like the fact it is an alloy but man so disappointing for the Ekano. Unless its price it completely miss the market.
