It was published with launch time, but it seems he didn't actually want the news to be leaked, so it was set to private eventually.

🔓 ABUS Rumor
There seems to be a new ABUS Fullface Model comming.

1. Hint: Christian Textor is showing in his latest insta post the backside of a (probably) fullface helmet in his new YT design. The helmet is out of focus but there is a familiar abus logo on the back and on the front lid.

 

2. Hint: It's not a ABUS Airdrop helmet because Texi confirmed it 😜 and the current Airdrop model has this 👇🏻 vent hole. The new model seems not to have this vent hole anymore.

3. Hint: Austrian mountain biker Gabriel Wibmer is already sponsored by ABUS and he already seems to wear the same or another ABUS helmet (+ ABUS goggles) for quite a while now:

You're prolly right, cause they work so well at protecting your grey matter....

Spotted on the other site, with more pics in the album, all uploaded yesterday for what is likely an upcoming press release. It's Pinion and belt drive, with what looks like another really really really high pivot for the G3.

That pivot is higher than Snoop Dogg!

It's beautiful!

That´s true, not even women of the owner family. (I´ve got the full German article if someone´s interested.)

ABUS - Wikipedia

They probably think that Texi fits as an ambassador for them as he´s Christian as well (albeit it seems like he´s not as medieval as the Abus owners are)

I hope it's ok to ask here, anyone knows if the Saint line is about to get overhauled ?

I've seen pictures about a supposedly new derailleur in this thread.

I ask cuz' I need some new brakes and some Saints are at 140€ on some websites which seems to be an interesting price for Saints.

It actually looks decent on BMX bikes, but the he size and proportions don’t work as well on a MTB.

Agreed. The Retro logo doesn't work well on the bigger bikes.

For real though.

Serviced three ol Fox Dyads last week. They're built like a tank and seem to last forever. Unlike a lot of the newer Fox boingers.

The tagline of "Level Up" is just as cringey.
