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.

Want to see your favorite bike on Bikology? This is the place to request it. Before posting, please read the guidelines below so we can get your request added quickly and accurately.

What to Include in Your Request:

Year – Make – Model of the bike frame.

Example: 2024 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO

At least one horizontal image of the frame (side profile preferred).

No angled shots, ads, or lifestyle pics — clean side-view photos work best. If the frame has multiple colorways, please include frame shots of each colorway.

Any helpful notes about the frame (e.g., geometry link, special edition, or important specs).

Posting Format:

When you make a request, please structure it like this:
Post Title: 2024 Specialized Stumpjumper Evo
Year: 2024
Make: Specialized
Model: Stumpjumper EVO
Image: clean horizontal frame images
Notes: geometry information, or a link to the manufacturer spec page of the bike

A Few Notes:

Requests that don’t follow the format may take longer to be added (or not get added at all).

Please only post one bike per request thread to keep things organized. Feel free to drop an upvote on a bike you'd like to see on the site, rather than requesting it again!

Responses to this post, or requests as responses in other posts won't be considered.

If a bike is already in Bikology, no need to request it again — just start building!

We’ll do our best to get your requests added as quickly as possible. Thanks for helping us grow the library of bikes on Bikology — the more options we have, the more fun it is to build, share, and dream.

Here's my 2011 V10 Carbon size XL. Set up single speed with a SB1 tensioner. Modern Ohlins DH38 with a 27.5" front wheel. Onyx hubs or bust. This bike is ridden every season and is a ton of fun to lap Teton Pass with. Some bikes you can never part ways with. #foreverquiver.

@riggedupgaming @chuzzy334 in order to roll out some of our major updates, we have to limit the scope of changes, ie bike list. But after this rollout, it opens us up to add a ton more bikes more efficiently, stay tuned!

• The Bikology Team

I'd 100% ride that bike.

@biker2.0 @Bobinator @Chad-boom here's a sneak peek of what's coming.

—The Bikology Team

@Pikaporo @Harpan-1 We totally understand. We want them back too. Over the course of developing Bikology, some bugs have become integrated into what we are doing. For example, Transmission derailleurs hang off the hanger, and not the frame. We migrated 2020 & newer bikes and components on purpose to allow us a smaller subset of products to work through the template fixes. As soon as we are crushing our new templating system... You can bet you will see everything in our database on this site!

— The Bikology Crew

@militarym0nkey pretty simple actually. Everyone from all over the world is building bikes… if someone saves a build in a time zone that’s later than you are, it can appear that it has yet to be built time wise, hence the minus. However that’s not the intended functionality and we will get this looked at.

• The Bikology Team

@cc24aal great question. If a manufacturer states that a dual crown is welcome on trail bike, we will open up that bike to be built like a DH bike. For example, Forbidden allows 180mm dual crowns on the Dreadnought. You will be able to choose either. There's a grey area here. Anyone can built up a Saint drivetrain to any trail bike and it'll work just as expected. We will play with these 'less than normal' scenarios in the future.

Hey everyone,

We wanted to take a moment to welcome you to the new Bikology.com (yep, with a y this time) and explain what’s been going on behind the scenes.

First off, an apology. We know the old Bikologi.com site wasn’t always maintained as well as it should've been. Between keeping the wheels turning and being out riding bikes, the platform didn't get the love it deserved. For that, we're sorry - and grateful that so many of you still stuck around.

This move to Bikology.com marks more than just a domain change. We've been rethinking how the platform should work, not only for today but for years down the road. Instead of a fragile build that's tough to maintain, we're laying down a foundation that's future-proof, flexible, and community-driven. Think: smoother bike building, stronger integrations, and a space that grows with riders instead of lagging behind them.

One thing to note: some of the older bikes (pre-2020) aren't available on the new platform right now. The data was messy, and honestly, keeping it live was slowing everything down. That said, we'd love to bring those models back one day - either as a "throwback garage" or a special archive section if there's enough interest.

This forum is part of that vision - a place where we can share updates, hear your feedback, and keep the conversation rolling. Your input will shape where Bikology goes next.

Thanks for riding with us through the bumps. The road ahead looks a lot smoother, and we're stoked to have you along for the ride.

– The Bikology Crew

P.S. As much as we love seeing bikes built here, we'd always rather see you out riding your bike than spending too much time on the site. The dirt is always better for you than the screen.

https://www.bikology.com/topic/9/2025-santa-cruz-v10

is an example of what we are looking for!

— Team Bikology

@Lucasgri @allterain thanks for the feedback! the reason we only have bikes 2020 and newer on the site is so that we can work through the templates accordingly. We have a new template engine coming soon that allows for cleaner chains, to solve the UDH problem we have, and to easily scale other templates... Like DH bikes for example!

— The Bikology Crew

@jack.osborne @tttttdfggxx DH bikes are next on the template list. Thanks for being patient!

@Lucasgri thanks for the nudge, we appreciate the accountability. here's a sneak peek of functionality we are launching:

We are going through and backfilling this functionality on existing frames that are currently live on our platform. We will take a few days to address some other pieces of the puzzle that will improve everyone's experience on our website. Then it is off to adding frames as a whole. Keep your eyes peeled in the next 72 hours.

—The Bikology Team

@downcountry @elionakona @jack.osborne @truen.u @orly0p7 @nukeproofowner69 @Matze dirt jumpers and dh bikes are high on our list. we are working through template updates that will allow use to scale into different bike categories easily. please be patient with us... side note, we are looking to do a Trek Ticket S giveaway here soon, keep your eyes peeled.
