Zack Henderson reviews the Formula Nebbia

Formula Nebbia

by
The Nebbia is Formula’s first air shock, with a strong focus on tunability and ease of service. After a few months of testing, we have gotten a good sense of how it performs — and the results are even more interesting than expected.
Blister reviews the Trek Slash+

Trek Slash+

by
The Trek Slash+ combines big travel with a little motor — a pairing that sets it apart from the rest of the market. We have logged plenty of miles on the Slash+ this summer and have a lot to say about its impressive performance — and some tradeoffs that come with it.
Blister reviews the Ohlins DH38 & RXF38 Coil Spring Kits

Flash Review — Ohlins RXF38 m.2 Coil Kit

by
Ohlins’ Coil Spring Kit is easy to install, doesn’t add too much weight, and, unlike kits for other forks, still allows you to go back to an air spring later. So, what’s it like to ride? We have some initial thoughts in our Flash Review.

Zack Henderson reviews the Trek Slash+

Flash Review — Trek Slash+

by
The Trek Slash+ merges a lightweight TQ motor with the high pivot design used on the regular Slash. Those two elements alone imply a burly ride, but is there more to the story? Check out our impressions from a few initial rides.
