“Yep, have to have a single click shifter and all sorts of other specific parts on this bad boy. Too much weight, torque, and raw power. Those normal parts would get chews to bits.
Impact on the trails you say? Oh, just like a normal bike. No difference at all.”
Would be WAY less worried if we had European/sane limits on torque and speed. The industry -sorry, I mean people for bikes - f’d us and IMBA (which does tons of great work and gets a lot of unfounded crap) missed the boat. Now volunteers and land managers will have to deal with the outcome while the industry sits off to the side and cashes checks.
