Throw in 1 more idler and the chain will be completely off the chainring. Absolute zero pedal kickback then. They are on to something!

YT will probably release the new Capra (Carbon version) on Thursday. Very short teaser can be found on their social media channels.

Ah, the elusive Hyper bikes that are either going to be perfect due to the many years of development or are some part of an elaborate money laundering scheme.

Good lord!! I am sure that it can withstand impacts as it is but my mind can't erase the picture of the bike snapping on the first jump landing

FWIW, Poles have the shock rotated by 90° on both sides.

The Pole is not anodized, the shock is rotated. They have made running changes internally, with added strength. The frame has been tested by EFBE in Germany to gravity standards and beyond. The rear triangle is not as weak as the prototype broken by Pinkbike. I do not think any company will take broken frames, lightly. One advantage with the CNC process is that running changes do not need changes in tooling.

My eyes bleed from the gold, though. In Norwegian we have a saying for this: blodharry!

Are we sure it's not just a tiny Spectral 29 for tricks? Certainly looks that way, and the straight post supports that theory. If they were following the new blueprint set out by the Torque:ON (much higher forward shock mount), there would still be a yoke.

Looks like 650b and the yoke also looks different from spectral 29. And shock stroke looks bigger than spectral 29 stroke. So I think this may be updated torque with water bottle mount.

The current Spectral 29 has seatstays covering part of the upper link; with this one the entire link is visible. Could be a new Spectral 27.5, but the DH shock (long stroke and no climb switch), Saint derailleur and straight post make more sense on a Torque. Plus that seat tube angle looks much better suited to 170-180mm of travel than something with 150-160mm, which is what I'd assume the next Spectral 27.5 will be.

There is also model name written on that frame, but there is poor screenshot quality. But I guess I can see "T" there, so my bet is on new redesigned torque.
