Masip describes how the alleged attacker covered her mouth, restrained her arms, and threatened to rape her while attempting to undress her. Initially, she tried to suppress the incident, but she later decided to file a formal report.

Currently residing in Andorra, Masip shared that she is not publicly naming her alleged attacker on the advice of her legal team. She described the individual as "a loved and respected person in the enduro world." Reports were filed with both the UCI and Spanish police in October 2024, but Masip states that it is uncertain whether charges will be brought against the alleged assailant.

 Discover the latest rumors in the mountain bike world! The Santa Cruz V10 might debut with new colors like yellow, green, or magenta, while SRAM could unveil a mechanical T-Type derailleur at Sea Otter 2025. Stay tuned for exciting updates!

Santa Cruz V10 Rumored New Colors and SRAM Mechanical T-Type Reveal at Sea Otter 2025

It’s that time of year again—the season of rumors. A new year is around the corner, and brands are back at it with their over-the-top, consumer-driven tradition of dropping new bikes every year.


This time, though, it’s not about a completely new model but rather an aesthetic update to the Santa Cruz V10—one of the best downhill bikes on the market right now, thanks to its solid bang-for-your-buck performance.


Santa Cruz sticks to a pretty traditional color and design vibe, but with a little imagination and some inspiration from their past colorways, we came up with these possible options. 

Word on the street is that the new frame, which will have the same design and specs as the current one, might come in exciting new colors like yellow, green, or a flashy pink/magenta. The yellow is present on the 2024 Nomad and the green-ish yellow combo is present on the 2025 Hightower, however thats a wild color for a downhill bike so if it´s green it should be more muted.

Learn the difference between high speed and low speed regulation on a bicycle suspension and how to set it up for optimal performance.

Setting Up Bicycle Suspension: High Speed and Low Speed

Bike suspension is an essential component that helps to improve the overall ride quality, traction, and control of your bike. But, many riders are not familiar with how to set it up correctly to suit their riding style and preferences. In this post, we’ll explore the difference between high speed and low speed regulation on a bicycle suspension and how to set it up for optimal performance.

High speed regulation refers to how the suspension reacts to bigger impacts and high-speed bumps, such as big rocks or jumps. Low speed regulation refers to how the suspension reacts to small bumps and pedaling inputs, such as roots or small rocks.

To set up the high-speed regulation, you will need to adjust the compression damping. Compression damping controls how fast the suspension compresses during a high-speed impact. If the compression damping is set too low, the suspension will compress too quickly and can cause the bike to bottom out. If the compression damping is set too high, the suspension will not compress enough and can cause the bike to feel harsh and unforgiving.

On the other hand, low speed regulation is controlled by the rebound damping. Rebound damping controls how fast the suspension extends after a high-speed impact. If the rebound damping is set too low, the suspension will extend too quickly and can cause the bike to feel bouncy and unstable. If the rebound damping is set too high, the suspension will extend too slowly and can cause the bike to feel sluggish and unresponsive.

When setting up your suspension, it's important to start with the recommended settings for your weight and riding style, and then make adjustments based on your personal preferences and the specific bike and suspension setup. Experiment with different high speed and low speed regulation settings and find what works best for you.

In summary, high speed and low speed regulation are two important aspects of setting up your bicycle suspension correctly. Understanding the difference and how to adjust them can help you improve your overall ride quality, traction, and control. Don't be afraid to experiment and find the perfect settings for your riding style.
