Anyone know what the bike is in the foreground? Seems to be hiding in a few other shots as well. New Megatower?

Color scheme looks like the 2021 Heckler MX, which would make sense to have around for transportation around the World Cup venue:

I have no idea about the linkage. Progression probably.
I hope that carbon shock cover just has a sticker that says “gotcha bitches”.

There have been test pilot tires with existing treads for a while now, the ones I’ve seen in person have another layer of pinch flat/sidewall protection compared to DH casing and was told they’re crazy heavy (in the realm of 1500g or more for a 29 DHR2)
Oof yeah that's about right. Anyone know what makes them different? Are they 3-ply? Just curious, as Kieran Bennett on the inside line talked about intense making 4ply tires.
Finn covers his link in his bike check video on his YouTube channel. His link is custom for him and he calls it more dynamic and stiffer than the stock. There are also great shots of it from the other side.

Actually, the Shapeshifter isn't that useless. I used it a LOT on my first gen Strive. Short travel/high for climbing and flat, and long travel/low for plush downhill. It worked very well for me.
Interesting find. Unfortunately they didnt ditch the useless shapeshifter and there seems to be no inframe storage ...

Strive is supposed to be the most versatile bike in their lineup and shapeshifter is pretty much an integral part of this design, my friends who ride strive all use it! If you need more heavy hitting bike, canyon has you covered with other models...

The shape of leverage ratio through the travel. The overall leverage ratio (rear wheel travel vs. shock stroke) is likely the same or very similar. So tuning linearity and progressivity.

Thanks alot, hadn’t seen those. Looks like bigger squarer downtube, box and more square swingarm? More of a refresh I guess

From my understanding, it's not exactly hush-hush and they are seen a lot around Whis, but they haven't released it yet
Do you have more info or photos about that bike ? I´m really interested eheh

Interesting rear tire choice, I wonder if they’re speccing that because of parts shortages

saw this in our pit bits video - is this for a DH/saint microspline cassette? i'm not super familiar w/ the full run of shimano stuff, but syndicate rear wheel w/ microspline chris king hub. do they make compact microspline cassettes that a DHer would use?

Ha, should we resurrect the old Magic Link? The first gen was still hacky, but after that they worked really, really well.

Could just be building a wheel for one of their other bikes
