I'd be surprised if that's the only change we hear from crc ;-)
that front michelin on sam's bike looks to be a new model (or renamed current model, i can't see the tread clear enough). they don't have anything called the wild enduro in their lineup and i couldn't find anything on the google.

These are some tasty rumours! It would be sick to see UNNO put a team together!
Well, here it is...what seemed initially like a bit of a joke, is now reality. Dirt jumper, freerider, and general bike trickster Sam Pilgrim has signed up to become an e-bike athlete for e-bike specialist Haibike (they will also supply custom DJ frames for Sam). It's probably one of the last athletes we would have guessed, but from Haibike's point of view it makes perfect sense as they work to continue to "legitimize" ebikes. As for Sam...can't blame a guy for cashing in after such a long and illustrious career, and for choosing to follow his sport in a new direction. Full PR below:
Haibike is proud to announce the signing of British Freeride pro Sam Pilgrim to our ePerformance team for 2018 and beyond. The 27-year-old freeride specialist will utilize the potential of the XDURO series to redefine the limits of what is possible on an eMountainbike.
Pilgrim, from Colchester in the UK, started his dirt jump career at the age of 14. Ever since, he has always been one of the leading figures in international competitions: In 2011 he won the Red Bull District Ride in Nuremberg; in 2013 he carried off the victory in the Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour, and since then has built up a huge fanbase of over 500k social media followers.
“We warmly welcome Sam Pilgrim to the Haibike family and are looking forward to pushing ePerformance to the next level on the international stage,” says Bernd Lesch, Director of Marketing / Product at Haibike.
When asked why he chose to ride for the ePerformance Pioneer Haibike, Sam Pilgrim replied, “I really liked the look of what Haibike was doing in terms of being more extreme with e-bikes and pushing the freeride side of things, it was an obvious choice really!” Sam continues, “I personally hated pedaling up hill, it was just something that sucked in between the fun stuff, but then I actually tried an e-bike and now everything is fun! I actually still can't believe how fun it is even when I’m pedaling up!”
Pilgrim will participate in several events of the FMB World Tour with his custom-made Haibike dirt jump Bike in 2018 and continue his series of regular adrenaline-fueled YouTube videos. “I want to show what’s possible on an e-bike with new tricks and big jumps!”
R&D feedback from Sam over the next years will be used to contribute to the further development of the Haibike XDURO models to keep them at the head of the pack.

Yes, they are launching a new gama fort 2018. Pretty good! We went to the presentation and it was great, it's just embargoed till some date in January. Here is a short video. Just it's in Spanish. but you can have a sense of the launch they did. https://youtu.be/Wss1aqdnnMc
Not trying to be a stravatard here, but that could be a real issue in a few years... Even if Strava makes e-bike leaderboards or anything the like, people can still post to ordinary non-e leaderboards.
I'm starting to like e-bikes less and less to be honest.

Machined crowns to test offset?
Also: if this asshole shows up at a comp with an e-bike I hope he's booed out of the venue.
Danny Hart to Madison Saracen.

Nikolas Nestoroff to KHS.

Amaury Pierron to Commencal Vallnord.

Happy new year.

Some of the comments in Norwegian points to this, as well as Robin Wallner's post here:
