Loic is riding the new frame or Finn’s prototype in Europe now.
He has said before that he cant just jump between bikes like Finn, he needs time to get used to it so it makes no sense to do in the middle of the season. So I guess the testing for 2023 has begun

Dustin Adams has said in a few interviews that there would be a range of bikes, including a DH, down the road
My memory is a bit hazy on the details but I feel like someone in MTB media said they saw a prototype at the WA1 factory. I could also just be mixing up people talking about the Arrival as much as they could before its release.
Last I heard, Remedy was going mullet, and sitting between the Fuel and Slash.
Im curious if the remedy is going to be just a slightly bigger Fuel then? the fuel can run a 160mm fork no worries so not sure if 10mm more rear travel is going to push them into a whole bike...
I can Honestly see The remedy getting replaced for a long travel "super enduro" like most brands offer now.
Id be happy to see an OEM link for 10mm more travel on the fuel to cover that 140-150 trail bike and go put out a big freeride bike

The release of the new Fuel messes things up a bit. The geo and travel are not #enduro, but on paper at least it looks like the bike a lot of people are after. The Remedy I heard rumours about would have been a mullet Slash-esque party bike, and the Slash changed into a 170 travel monster. Still, just rumours.

What would be the said remote? All I see is a dropper lever on the left. There are only 4 cables going from the handlebar.

Did anyone see Forbidden's sale on Druids? Looks like they're priced at dealer cost, or close to it, across the board. This says to me that there's a new frame coming. Any rumours out there?
Druid just got updated with new colour schemes/UDH. Think it's more about cycling that inventory than replacing it. New colorways for the dreadnought probably coming too, soon.

Wouldn’t be so sure about that, if I remember correctly there was a PB tech video from one of the earlier world cups where they were forbidden from showing a new prototype bike.
They did just add a bunch of new colors for the Druid and still haven’t released the DH frame… so that might mean this is just high stock. On the other hand, the Druid has loads of room for improvement. If only that thing had 150mm travel with its current manners, and rocks didn’t get stuck near the linkage damaging the frame, and maybe a less rigid derailer hanger, as the thick one cracked my carbon dropout on that thing.

Update:
I know a guy who knows a dude, and an updated Druid is coming, but not for a while. No idea when, but next summer-ish? Maybe? Current sale is just to move the old colours.

Any guesses when it gets released? Is it going to be available on '23 bikes or not until the '24 release cycle?

Sadly it looks like they still don't have a 190/200mm AXS dropper.

Great in theory, but without a re-design of the battery placement, I believe that will lead to a lot of ripped out axs batteries on long travel 29rs in anything but XL and up.
Rear triangle where it heads towards the shock from the bottom bracket area looks to have a much more swooping shape, unless it’s just camera angle and compressed suspension.

Looks very much like the prototype shock that Jesse Melemad and others started testing a few months ago.
The "R" and "O" by the left hand grip are the buttons to activate it.
New colours might be a way to sell off frames
