He hinted at it with a post on Instagram with an Aircraft box but we didnt actually see him wearing one, although we did see his son Bam with one...
And Mike Jones has been wearing one too.

Could there be a Super Deluxe in the back? That and Boost rear end would be the two logical upgrades. Besides some geometry tweaks maybe.

Just curious even thou we have seen a few shots getting a around of this bike for a few months now is Blenki using a normal Vivid shock on this new frame ? Or is it something new from RS like a new metric size DH Shock that's we have not picked up on as yet ?

The reservoir seems really long

Has anyone else noticed the Rocky Mountain Team riders only showing head tube shots in their insta-photos?
Company's tend to paint their proto's white to see if their is signs of stress or cracks in the frame.
Maybe its a new Altitude in the works??

There is going to be a new Rocky Altitude released probably april/may this year (or so I've heard).... It's going to look really nice (or so I think)...

Commencal will never go carbon, as Max Commencal has issues with the health aspects for the workers in carbon production...

To be honest, the only way i'd be going carbon with my own company (if i had one) was to go the Unno way, so ultra high end both on the engineering and production side as well as the price side of course. Otherwise i don't see much of a reason for carbon since the bikes are usually up to 1000 USD more expensive for the same kit and give hardly any benefit (i'm riding a Reign with not a single carbon part, yet it weighs under 14 kg).

Bryn Atkinson posted an instagram story that showed Bas Van Steenbergen riding a meta trail bike. Mentioned that it was a 'loaner', but who knows. Maybe his deal with Hyper isn't working out.

Bas is currently riding a Kona Operator with the logos blacked out, could be using a different trail bike to if the hypers are shit.

The prototype Hyper DH bike that Zink was on has alot of similarities to a Kona Operator.

Maybe are that vid of him riding a Session,Hyper are starting something.
Give this guy a proper frame sponsor...so much talent and oozes style. Just doesnt fit Hyper.

Pretty sure everyone says that about hyper sponsored athletes. Don't sell them in nz so have no idea of the brand but they must have some coin
