Post-Ride Burritos Reign Supreme! 🌯🏆 Huge thanks to everyone who dropped their votes.
Guess we’re in the minority with our post-ride donut ritual…
Guilty as charged. Now pass the sprinkles. 🍩
Photo of the Day
Usually, when Matt Hunter shows up here, he’s launching into orbit off some absurd gap to wall ride.
Not today. This one’s got zero hucks, all heart.
Words from Dylan on the shot below.
📷 Dylan Sherrard behind the lens.
Shooting action sports is often a focused pursuit of the peak moment. However, I love to imagine the quiet lifestyle moments in-between hold just as much power as the weightless highlights. The depth of the experience as the inseparable opposite to the height of the action.
In this instance, I had the chance to capture Matt Hunter - one of mountain biking's most celebrated athletes for his style and cultural contributions - rolling in the deep end of that spectrum, as he used his dad muscles to ensure his young family experiences the same heights of singletrack splendour that he's built his career on.
Framed in the flowing blonde grass and rolling hills of our backyard trails in Kamloops, British Columbia, it's the kind of moment I dream of capturing.

Video of the Day
If you like speed, wipeouts, more speed, and even more wipeouts, you’re in for a treat.
Vincent Tupin just proved that snow biking is less about traction and more about commitment.
Hit play and enjoy the chaos (preferably with a warm beverage).👇

BONUS: While most of us are using winter as an excuse to stay indoors, Ulysse Mathieu is out here ripping through Les Vosges, his go-to training ground when the temps drop.
Fast lines, big sends, and proof that winter riding is very much a thing.
Watch and take notes. Or just watch from under a blanket while you snooze your alarm. We won’t judge.👇

Husqvarna is Making eMTBs Now… Because Why Not?
Yep, you read that right.
Husqvarna, the brand known for chainsaws, dirt bikes, and lawnmowers, is now making eMTBs.
So in case you were looking to trim your hedges and hit a downhill line in the same afternoon, they’ve got you covered.
The Lineup: From Mowing Lawns to Mowing Over Rock Gardens
- Hard Cross Series: 180mm of travel for those who prefer their descents steep and their landings questionable.
- Mountain Cross Series: 150mm of travel—a.k.a. the Swiss Army knife of eMTBs.
- Light Cross Series: 130mm of travel for riders who like to keep it light but still let the motor do the work.
Bonus: Buy a chainsaw and an eMTB in the same order, and you might be able to snag a discount!
Serious Tech from a Not-So-Serious MTB Brand
Husqvarna didn’t just slap a motor on a frame and call it a day. These rigs come with:
✔️ Mullet wheel setups (29" up front, 27.5" in the back—because party in the rear, obviously)
✔️ Shimano EP801 motors (so you can crush climbs like they’re fire roads)
✔️ 720Wh batteries (because stopping mid-ride for a recharge is lame)
Basically, Husqvarna figured out how to make your yard work AND your trail rides more fun.

Verdict? Shockingly Legit.
All jokes aside, these eMTBs actually look like the real deal and not just some side project while they design new leaf blowers (like the Ford Bronco ebike we featured earlier).
If you want to see what Husqvarna’s been cooking up (besides chainsaws and motorcycles), check out the 2024 MC6 in action.

And if you buy one, let us know if it comes with a free ride-on mower.
Science - Are Steel Bikes Flexy?
Joe just dropped a very interesting (and mildly myth-busting) video, tackling the age-old “steel is flexy” debate.
The results might surprise you.
Turns out, your bike’s not noodling around as much as you think.
Or maybe it is, but not for the reasons you blame it on.
As always, Starling brings the good food for thought to the debate. 👇

Dream Rides ❤️
The Yeti SB160 is looking extra clean in Raw Gloss and Rhodium Silver.
Basically, it’s the two-wheeled equivalent of a tailored suit… that loves getting covered in dirt.
Got a bike that makes your friends drool? We wanna see it! Shoot us an email at editorial@thesenditdaily.com, and maybe your ride will be the next superstar.
Trail of the Day
Berm - Alafia River State Park, Florida
No mountains. No problem.
The name? Straight to the point.
The trail? Short, sweet, and packing just enough spice to keep things interesting.
Berm serves up semi-smooth rock stairs, rolls you into double berms, and lets you send or skip the optional jump at the end.
Shredding the wildest features at Santos & Alafia.
Laugh of the Day
Sometimes race morning is a little slower than we’d like 😂
That’s all for today folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you tomorrow! 🤙
For the ❤️ of two wheels.
