New Conti Rubbers in the works, spotted on Geezer's bike in the Matt Jones video. Having seen a tread on photo I can tell you its "minion inspired." Which, given Continental's rubber mastery might be a pretty awesome tire. The hot patch looks like it reads "Proutotasp" but maybe its "prototyoe"
It looks like it will be like the privateer 161/141 so just the normal RAAW Madonna with 20mm less rear travel. But they also did say in another Mail that this bike will be only available within Europe.
RAAW mtb "Jibb" will be released on Thursday.

Looks like Continental are taking some inspiration from 1998 and the Michelin Comp 16 for their new prototype tyre being tested by the Athertons

That top pic looks to me like the standard Der Kaiser that has been on the market for awhile now, but I may be wrong?

Grabbed a few screenshots from that Vanzacs cornering clinic of the upcoming Norco that's been popping up for a while. The video's 720p, so still not exactly high-res, but I figured I might as well post them. Definitely seems a 'park edition' of the next Range, similar to what they did with the Shore (I'm thinking 180/170 travel on the park model versus 170/160 on the regular one).
Ah ok maybe it’s just casing ? The tyre has prototype on it in a another picture on her feed
nah, It´s just der kaiser DH tire, the one with prototaup or something written on it looks to be hardpack/intermediate tire (yes, it looks not too different from DHF). https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCdJARLpY-/
