They also helped a German magazine make a Frankenbike.
Well shit. If they do, I apologize. I guess if they’re still waiting for a steady supple of parts, why not experiment.

Dreadnought looks sick. In other news, specialized site is down for maintenance, new Kenevo Prime time?

Martin Maes teasing the next GT. Looks to use the High Pivot Four Bar platform from the Fury. No drive side view though.

Judging by chain stay and chain line angle looks to use high pivot idler

Kinda looks like he riding a 36. I compared the grpahics so its hard to say... That would be interesting to hear why he is if its is a 36 its hard to tell they both have those slashes in it

Maes is light as hell. Maybe he doesn’t think the extra heft is worth it.

Have a feeling this will be the new sanction. Fits GT M O from previous sanction using same year fury linkage design. I’m for it and thought they should have done this awhile ago when the new fury came out.

It wouldn't be the first time an athlete doesn't the bigger fork, last year Dailly used a Lyrik instead of the Zeb, at least at the Italian Ews rounds IIRC.

I actually thought GT would release a Force 29 Carbon first before releasing a new Sanction.

Wyn looks to be on the same new frame but with a 38 up front. I bet Martins just playing around with the lighter front end setup doing some experimenting.

Something new is coming from Commencal! New linkage and chainstay/backend for the Supreme?

Looks like it, probably still single pivot with the chainstay acting as one of the two shock driving links (a-la faux bar). But that idler positioning kinda looks funny, interested to see what the final product will look like.

That idler keeps getting lower and lower with each generation. Are they eventually going to get rid of it when the hype about idler's is over?

Headtube junction looks different too. The idler is quite low IF the main pivot is where it looks like it is (pretty far up). It would be cool if the idler moved through the travel.

That is quite patented.

As for carbon Summum, they went Aluminium witht he 29er, the Session is Al, the Demo is Al as well... Carbon DH bikes just don't pay themselves off anymore, I think the era of carbon DH bikes is mostly over. There is no business case for it.

Not sure if carbon, but that is a different frame (front triangle at least). It has a brace between downtube and seat tube and it does not have the hole near the headtube.
