Nice review. On the windbreaker point, I’m going to switch to a vest with light waterproofing for those days. Won’t get too hot and it’s more stashable.

Thanks!  Excited to try the Vigi myself this season

AJ - what tire would you choose on your trail bike: WTB Vigilante you reviewed or Assegai in DD?

Seems like a custom water bottle for certain frames/brands wouldn't be that big of a design chore. Especially if it was just done as an option

Like his water bottle statement!  Duh

Pete - also worth mentioning an additional EV cost point (as you likely know as an owner): drastically lower cost of ownership, which offsets higher up front cost. Electric is so much more efficient than ICE that its like getting >100 mpg, and electricity is cheaper too, so in Minnesota for example, it’s equivalent to paying like 50 cents a gallon. Add in thousands fewer parts, no oil changes etc, and it’s very significant. It’s the future and coming faster than people think. Can’t wait until there’s a few trucks like that available.

All good points.  Even though it's tons of SKUs for the Works approach, thinking that Wolftooth's machining ability might make it possible.  If they came up with a new approach that was better than an Angleset, that would be awesome!  I'm in Minnesota, so I'll make sure to bug those guys if I see 'em ;)

It'd be awesome if Wolftooth starting doing angle-adjust and/or reach adjust headsets.  Would be nice to have an alternative to paying in pounds and shipping from the UK.

Any tradeoffs from the DHF WT?  From the review it sounds like maybe just braking?  Or would you say the Vigilante is just a better front tire?

Also, seems like 510 could also offer some different sole versions on their models.  Seems like it would be possible to dial back the grip a little in the name of durability. I know that's kinda what the Stealth xvi vs. regular stealth was, but I wear them both out supper fast.  Even the little dot soles on the DJ shoes wear out super fast in my experience.  Just got a pair of the OG freeriders and those soles feel a little more robust.  If that's true, that sole on the new Freerider Pro upper would be SICK
