Ok am I the only one that is kinda getting tired of all the buzz words that the bicycle industry is trying to come out with when it comes new new bikes? Just recently a famous brand just released their “short travel-enduro bike” with only 80-100mm of travel. Um, last I checked that same brand already made one like that and they called it an XC bike…
I know that brands are trying to capture yet another segment of the bike industry, but what ever happened to just building a bike that can do XC, some SuperD/Enduro yet it’s ballsey enough to hand some light DH riding? I mean seriously, do we all need a different bike for each riding style? Ya I know there are many of us that actually own all those types of bikes. But think about it…let’s just say you have one bike that does ALL of it. That means if things break, you only have to fix ONE bicycle. You save money on bikes in it self, but you also save money on parts in the long run. Don’t even get me started on prices of tires and brake pads. Remember I’ve talked about how bike brake pads are more expensive than car brake pads? Well guess what, motorcycle brake pads aren’t even as expensive as mountain bike pads…
