Hey everyone,
We want to take a minute to acknowledge what a lot of you noticed after Friday’s release.
Yes — some bikes and components disappeared.
Yes — options temporarily got slimmer.
And yes — that was intentional.Why we did this (the real talk)
Behind the scenes, Bikology just shipped a brand-new image template system. This is a foundational change — not a visual tweak(go take a look at master links in the chain, for example).
Our previous setup made it increasingly hard to:
- Maintain consistent, brand-accurate imagery
- Scale cleanly as more bikes and components were added
- Automate and move quickly without creating long-term technical debt
So we made a hard call.
We intentionally narrowed scope and removed a chunk of bikes and components so we could rebuild the system the right way — with consistency, accuracy, and scale in mind. Short-term pain, long-term wins.
What this unlocks
This new template system enables:
- Cleaner, more consistent visuals across the builder
- Faster onboarding for brands and dealers
- Better long-term maintainability (for us) and reliability (for you)
This is one of those “invisible but critical” upgrades that sets the stage for everything that comes next.
What’s happening now
We’re already actively adding bikes and components back — this time on the new foundation.
To keep ourselves accountable, here’s what’s currently in progress / up next:
- Downhill bikes category + respective components and compatibility.
- E-bike category + respective components and compatibility.
- Chromag Lowdown
- Chromag Rootdown
- Chromag Stylus
- Chromag Reazon
- Intense Tracer 279
- Intense Primer
- The Banshee Lineup
- Revel Ritual
- Revel Rascal
- Revel Ranger
- Santa Cruz V10
- Pivot Phoenix
- S-Works Stumpjumper 15
- S-Works Epic 8
- Ibis Ripley
- Ibis Ripmo
- Yeti ASR
- Yeti SB140
- Transition Sentinel
Thank you
To our power users, dealers, and brands: thank you for the patience and trust. We hear you. We don’t take removing options lightly — but this reset puts Bikology in a much stronger position to move faster, look better, and support more brands without compromise.
If something you rely on disappeared and you’re itching to see it back, reach out. Feedback during this phase genuinely helps guide what comes back first.
More soon — and more often.

Forget about the ebikes, no one needs them, instead add more components and bikes from smaller brands, I feel like that's much better for most people
@trafficones we need ebikes, they are very fun
-
@endurobuilder None of the above we dont need them just use your legs E bikes are not trail bikes they are for people like Cara bell
-
@Alex_Trails34 kiddo is mad people have opinions. i prefer ebikes and you cannot change that
