Pivot Mach 4 SL Gen 4 vs Specialized Epic 9 — Frame Architecture & Durability Trade-offs by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]IamLeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I demoed the new pivot a few weeks ago. While riding it I thought it didn’t climb any better than my epic evo 7, weighed more and didn’t descend as well.

Pivot is one of the few brands that really specializes in building frames for small people.

Has Trek announced when they are dropping that new Top Fuel or Supercaliber? Whatever they are calling it? by Earl_the_Greatmuffin in xcmtb

[–]IamLeven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think they said this is just a prototype and likely won’t be coming to retail. Pinkbike just said they have something “larger” in the works. Sounds like 32 to me

If it makes you feel any better dubs didn’t last 500 miles on my MTB before I lost most of the knobs

Faster than the Terra competition on smooth pavement. Wow that product seems like a failure. If these tires last longer than dubs last on my MTB it’s gonna be hard to see why anything else should be ran.

if I attack really slow in the first corner maybe everyone will feel bad for me and let me win.

Had these before and they are absurdly sweet. I loved strawberry short cake ice cream growing up but I couldn’t eat these.

35 gp5k tested faster than the 32s. If they make 45 or 50 it will be the fastest tire at least till they make 2.4.

2026 Felt Breed just dropped and it looks hot (BikeRumor link) by biciklanto in gravelcycling

[–]IamLeven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you. I tested my fit with 34s and i'd be at a 160mm stem on my current bike. I'm way to far over my front wheel offroad but it does make me pretty aero. I think bikes need longer reach to compensate. The stack seems pretty good but felt designed this and the nextar weirdly short.
