I knew you wouldn’t understand, grandpa.

I try not to. It makes my life easier. But I speak the truth.

That’s right old man. The nurses ARE stealing your things.

That Pyga looks awesome.

I'll play devil's advocate for the Exie's pricing because I like arguing. Carbon frames are labour intensive af and unlike in South East Asia you can't just dump all your offcuts and other manufacturing inconveniences into the Mekong Delta. Could I justify it? No. But it's awesome they're giving it a go and hopefully the price will come down as they get more efficient and build economies of scale. Companies that are trying to build manufacturing capacity and knowledge and cut out the inefficiencies and heinous environmental costs of shipping shit around the world should be lauded imo.

TL/DR: it costs a shitload because it costs a shitload to make bikes in first world countries / rant

Looks like they used the mondraker left overs ... Are you saying South Africa has really high standards of regulation in manufacturing in addition to fair and reasonable wages?

Well they can't afford to pay for it, after all.

Possibly not the best thread to ask, but looking for a decent trail bike that comes in an extra small. Trek marlin or roscoe seem to come in limited models in that size. Wife is 150cm so choice seems very limited.

Size XS... good luck finding one though

Norco do XS, my son is 153cm tall and it suits him just fine (the dropper is a bit long at full extension). He has a 2021 Storm 1.

Vice Captain was 150 when we put him on a Small (not XS) Marlin, he's 155cm now with this much seat post showing.

Might broaden your chances.....

Yep wrong thread. Don't worry though, nobody cares, least of all the mods!!! lol. I'm keen on keeping up to date on this question also as I have a 6 yr old that I want to keep on a half decent bike. He's not super tall though, currently around the 120cm mark.

Scott has another hidden shock design that looks more accessible than what is on the Spark. Wonder if these bikes have a steerer stop to protect the cables.

Scott Patron emtb

The thought springs to mind that the eBike section needs it's own "Newly Released" thread.

Is that so you won't be accidentally exposed to them?

Not a criticism, I wasn't ready for the above either.

I came looking for new bike porn but saw fugly eMTB instead.

Got a distinct "morning after" feel to it.

I thought RB already had a motorbike thread

eBikes will just be a solid block of battery at some point.

In that scenario, my legs still work.

I could ride away, unassisted.
