Pro Tip: Don't Get Your Mountain Bike Knowledge From A Forbes Magazine Wanker

I can guarantee that this poser douchebag Rob Reed only rode that Evil bike around in the parking lot, but sure he's a tough adventure guy who knows so fucking much and names the bike of the decade, a bike from a company which was started by a marketing dickhead and the fraud who branded himself as a suspension expert by fiddling around with existing rear mountain bike shock designs and by figuring out how to rip off the VPP patents without getting sued!  Rider owned indeed.  Somehow plenty of other suspension platforms worked well, too, without anyone pretending they were some genius who invented something they didn't.  Marketing!  Brilliant!  But bullshit pays well.  Don't get your bike opinions from fabulous Forbes magazine.
