Coming back to Nukeproof, I just checked if there was any info on another bike to be announced from them soon and found this:
I don't know if it means anything and it goes straight to a 404 error, but if Nukeproof is already preparing their website with dedicated pages for the GIGA, then it could be announced pretty soon?
megawatt be rad dude 👌 but I heard they called it bullit
That would make the most sense given the current naming scheme and probably having more travel. Let's hope that the Super 8 get's it's share. Stair gap monster truck that it was.
Here's a personal dream scenario...
Santa Cruz makes the Super 8 EDH bike but brings back the old frame design with the obvious geometry changes. Single pivots ROCK and as long as they're bringing up old names, they might as well dredge up an old frame design. That bike was the best technical climbing bike that I've ever had. Hands down. And I've been down some gnarly shit on one, or three. Just (And I'll go full psidekick here.) use some Gracia magic and hide the battery and motor inside of that huge three inch diameter down tube that the original bike had.
not much info out there only scraps to find but seen English guy on YouTube predicting mullet that be cool to try but if they do release new one not sure when you would be able to ride it seem s slow getting bikes out to people the now
I heard in the Downtime podcast the owner of We Are One talking about making a frame, any info around on it?
Waiting not so patiently for more news. There was a club of what looked like a mold that was posted by them.
Hopefully more teasers soon with a first ride article the next day!!
I've seen a specialized kenevo sl rumor on another page.
Supposedly they'vevtaken the enduro and paired it with the same motor they used in the levo sl.
Anyone know anything about that?
People claim to have seen them in the wild too.

the BB area on the Enduro is already pretty busy. i wonder how they could fit a motor down there too.
That's exactly what I was thinking too, yeah. I mean it's not that big of a problem to move things around (they did it with the demo by essentially moving all the pivots a bit lower and 'keeping the overall geometry', though it's not that simple in practice), but with the main pivot being so far forwards, It's hard to imagine how to pack it in over the motor and the batter and still have half decent suspension characteristics.

I'm having the same doubts.
Moving the main pivot upwards would probably alter the kinematics quite significantly?
However the thought of an sl-style enduro emtb is intriguing to me.

Doing just that, yeah, it would, immensely. It would move it straight towards a high pivot territory. Incidentially, with the first generations of Bosch motors, that had an internal geartrain and a really small output gear (~20T), Haibike did use an idler around the main pivot to achieve the desired kinematics. Both because there isn't as much space to put a pivot between the motor and the rear wheel and because having the pivot that low would probably compromise the kinematics quite a bit (they would have to lower all the pivots or they would have a very forwards axle path).

I can vouch for this, it has been spotted at my local trails
It looks long, slack(-ish), low(-ish), it's a mullet, it's effin' purple, has a 38, has a coil, it's carbon and it is a damn effin' SC!, if it is 625+ Wh battery and around 20kgs, I'll be running out of excuses.
F it...2021 might be the year when I'll get an electric and say, at least partially, good bye to mtb-ing. #saddaysahead

Just California dreamin'........
Just found this MX goggle roll off. Surprisingly cheap, 149 USD for the full system. Looks cool, maybe for DH racing.

I'm guessing the new E-bike.
Hopefully more teasers soon with a first ride article the next day!!
