Pretty cool. Grip shift is an interesting choice. I imagine they will also be releasing a more traditional controller as well for the gravity crowd.
Correct, you can see that here

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"

I thought you were making a cleaver pun as they were in Wales where everything is spelled strangely. Or is it originally?

RAAW mtb "Jibb" will be released on Thursday.

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.

About that I wrote "Fazua". Isn't it clear what that means? Fazua isn't really in the business of making acoustic bike components.

Just saw this system on one of the Trek Ebikes.. Pretty cool how it works.. Especially that you can remove the battery and motor and ride without it..

And it's actually relatively light, making electric bicycles, not electric motorbikes with pedals.

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?

Same. Though I like Kaiser as a front tire maybe athertons feel the same. Bottom pic is def very different and rather interesting side knob pattern.

Ah ok maybe it’s just casing ? The tyre has prototype on it in a another picture on her feed

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).

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-/
