"Evil's version of the new Patrol" is what someone told me. Mixed wheel, 160mm travel is my guess.

I think I read somewhere that shimano products are gonna start coming in again in the first trimester of 2022
They have stuff trickling in here in the states, but I would bet most of it is already sold before it gets here...

As I understand it, it should be coming out over the summer, but as with some other high pivot bikes in the same category, the supply issues are a thing in this case too (should have been out already).
50to01 just dropped a video with the new enduro bike. it's being ridden with both single and dual crown forks. it also has c'dale decals on it, so its probably a production version. my guess would be supply issue on components.

It's something like the old Equilink system Felt used to sport back in the day, isn't it?

It is technically still a "high-pivot" as the axel is not on the chainstay. The seatstay and rocker are what dictates the majority of the axel path. Hence why they still need an idler.

Commencal just faked-out the bike industry on high pivots. Lol.
Pretty much only DH team not on one now is Commencal. Wink

caption from one of the photos on PB:

"The upper and lower link are connected by this solid piece."

also notice no pictures from the non-drive side.

A virtual high pivot point is still a high pivot point… Think Canfield Jedi
