I don't think so, at least no the syndicate. If you look close the crown looks silver to me + he doesn't have enve wheels. Maybe it's cannondale. Ratboy has been running burgtec stuff and maybe that is a new downhill bike or something. Final thing the brakes look to be the hayes dominion brakes, and that may narrow it down a little as well.
I believe syndicate does not run enve wheels, they run Santa Cruz wheels

Looks like it has the same “bulge” on bottom side of the downtube where you access the shock.

I’ve heard from a reliable source Cannondale has a 170 29er with an idler coming out next year, a DH bike would be sweet as well!
I mean, I've seen the bike in the dealer book. The Purple Haze color is especially satisfying.

True. I was looking at the Specialized Gravity team's Facebook page before I posted, and none of the Bruni photos I saw had a good view of his google strap. Most had his arm covering them. All the pics with a clear view of a google strap were of Finn or Grice and they had Fox Googles. I'm guessing the team is sponsored by Fox for eyewear, but Bruni was able to keep 100% from his pre-specailized days.
I think it's a bit deeper than that. Don't forget Loic had an internship with 100% a few years back and their connection is long running. Probably Specialized and Fox are cool enough and don't mind this, or he has enough leverage to keep this connection.

Now, back from our Goggle-Strap Special, let's see what our field reporters have for us! :D

Santa Cruz and not Julia. Looks like the racers prefer the og. Julia I’d imagine is still worth promoting for new female riders.

we've heard a giant DH rumor, but have no idea how credible. if it is credible, it should be pretty sweet.
Does it involve a suspension design that works well for more than 150mm of travel?

GT would be a good guess, they have used that tagline.

A little research told me that Pivot is a 4 athlete team. So maybe SC making a XC team or he is just on a frame from them and doing events alone?

If that was the case I wonder if he’d keep MW involved because surely once you’ve worked with him you wouldn’t want to go away!

Only the colors and the names are different, the frames are otherwise the same... So I guess it's just brand positioning or something. Maybe SC is the 'racer' brand with Juliana pegged as a more lifestyle brand?

I don't think it is folding, they stated on the Sunn Bikes IG that they had news for 2021

"It's now time to look ahead to the future and something new for 2021. We can't wait to tell you more!"
