First Ride! New Pivot Mach 4SL makes XC way more fun

The new Pivot Mach 4SL is a revolutionary XC bike in the most understated way. Its predecessor was also a ripper, giving the brand a much-needed aesthetic update while delivering respectable performance. But that was four years ago, and bikes and courses have continued to evolve toward the rowdier, more aggressive end of the cross-country spectrum. So Pivot evolved, too.

Manitou Mattoc is Back, one 110-150mm MTB fork for everything from XC to All-Mountain

Manitou is calling their new Mattoc mountain bike fork “The People’s Fork” because in an age of MTB specialization, this is a single fork for that can cover pretty much all of the disciplines that most mountain bikers actually ride. Few of us are really ultralight XC racers, as much as we dream even fewer are actually enduro racers, and seriously there can’t really be that many downhiller racers, right?

Cervélo LinkLock Lockout Turns ZFS-5 XC Bike into a Hardtail for XCC Short Track Racing

Cervélo only officially revealed their new carbon ZFS-5 full-suspension cross-country race mountain bike a few days ago, and they’ve already shown how the Jumbo-Visma team used a rigid LinkLock to convert it back to a hardtail! Unbolt the short link, remove the standard RockShox SIDLuxe Ultimate shock & its remote, then bolt in a peculiar wishbone strut in its place. But why?

Forbidden Bike Co. Conjures Up New Frame & Inverted 4-bar Linkage for Druid V2 Trail Bike

Forbidden’s flagship trail bike, the Druid, has been significantly revised for 2023 with an entirely new frame design. The obvious change to the Druid V2 is that new inverted four-bar linkage. But what your eye won’t see right away is the subtly updated geometry, new frame hardware, and revised suspension kinematics. There were plenty of things Forbidden liked about the original Druid, so despite the rear end looking quite different, most of the V2’s revisions are fine adjustments.

Intradrive Show Latest 8-Speed eBike Powertrain Prototype

At last weekend’s Tweedlove Festival, an Orange Phase MX Strange was attracting its fair share of attention thanks to the drivetrain it was sporting. Correction – the powertrain – it was sporting. Indeed, the Phase MX was home to the latest prototype from Intradrive, a Gearbox Powertrain manufacturer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is an 8-Speed system that combines the motor and transmission into one unit, inside a housing that shares the same fitment as a Shimano EP8 Motor.
