My guess is we're either gonna get a well-timed, potato quality shot from the pits or we're getting nothing until the official release (it's been years with the carbon shock cover and we still haven't gotten a single peek to my knowledge)
I wonder what’s this?
my guess it tells Loic if hes green or red on each of the splits
Two-year old news. It's an electronic lockout for the rear shock.
Imagine specialized is trolling us all since the beginning and will come out with this demo with an enclosed shock/link (à la enclosed honda drivetrain)
That button is for ordering champagne 🍾 🥂 🏁
The green light… I’d like to think it’s for split times but right out of the gate it was already green…
Neko is also very curious as to what is going on.
Green light on Bruni's bars is the suspension mode system. Green more open damping, no light is more closed or firm damping. It was used on the older Demo in latter part of last year (including Worlds win).
The light is on a stack that has the mode button on it. Plenty of photos of it if you google search. I saw it in person when he came here to the US for Snowshoe.
totally looks like, hahaha, is somebody checking is they are using rear derailleur??
Seeing as old is new again these days, there is room for a 2nd smaller shock in that lump under the DT.
Or maybe they are doing the same as the scrapped C'Dale DH bike and decoupling the spring and the damper?
..new pedal in the works from Title MTB on Brett Rheeders Commencal?
Why wasn't Mick Hanna on the new Yeti?

I wonder if this custom linkage on the factory GT Force will ever make it to production. They've been using it for almost a year now, I think.
isn't his deal with yeti on their ebike Enduro team? That's not to say he wouldn't have access to their other bikes, but I'm not sure he be would be the one to race the new dh bike first.
Pretty sure Jack takes care of any dirt that might have the effrontery to migrate on to Loic's bike..
Here’s another angle:
Sidenote: I got to ride with Noga once. Arguably on some of the steepest downhill trails in my hood. She was on a borrowed 4 inch travel XC bike. Very talented rider, and extremely fast. A humbling experience.
Anybody know why Steve Matthes of PulpMX posted a cryptic tweet about holding off buying an Intense bike until Monday?
Something big coming?
I was under the impression the idea was meant for serial production. In that case very few people in the world have a Jack at an arm's length to clean it up... Cue seized suspension, scratched/blown shocks, etc.
Title pedals are coming, the only question is when. They are already listed at their distributors and will be called „form“ - like their grips.
Holy crap! Source? (Did someone just leave it sitting there!?)
Dude, ebikes are getting out of hand...
Hot damn! Guess they really aren't afraid of giving anything away about the suspension since we'll never be able to see it
Alloy model Tazer
What the fuck!
All that tech to beat Neko by less than a second on his home grown bike :D
Less than a second is all it takes
Bruni still running the EX471 rims and Alu bars makes me smile though
That rear wheel does look small though, imagine the upset if he was running a 26” rear
