And as usual, Singletracks readers get to cast the deciding vote each step along the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the brackets are set, we\u2019re taking nominations for your favorite trail bikes of the year. Choose up to five (5) bikes from the list below and\/or choose \u201cOther\u201d to write in your favorite bike(s) that aren\u2019t listed. To qualify, the trail bike should be in a brand\u2019s current catalog, have between 120mm and 150mm of rear suspension travel, and be considered a production bike (no custom\/one-off frames). Bikes do not have to have been released or updated in 2026. E-bikes are not included in this particular tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nominations close on Sunday, October 11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you\u2019ve made your nominations, comment to share which head-to-head trail bike matchups you\u2019re looking forward to the most!<\/p>\n<p>The news stinks.
