All of the recent new kit (road discs, dropper posts, really adjustable suspension, the latest super-light components) has made me think…
What do you think mountain and road bikes will be like in 25 years?
Mountain = <20lbs, 6″ travel full suspension, adjustable geometry and travel at the flick of a switch, gearboxes and electronic control of multiple systems similar to the M-button on an M5 (race/sport/pootle modes)
Road = 30mm micro suspension activated only when rough enough, <15lbs, discs, very aero looking unlike current designs, also possibly CVT for non-racing road bikes
