MTB Tech Rumors and Innovation

Hunting Holly. I love Schwalbe but their names are shit.

 Those cranks don't seem to be online anywhere either.

 A better look at the tread and some truly abysmal stand photoshopping.

there is also TRP electronic shifting coming for 2024

Specced on this bike:https://rotoruabike.com/mtb-doble-suspension-275/69832-19186-commencal-…

Wow, I realllyyyy can't think of what this could be. Just absolutely stumped!

A distinct lack of cables from the handlebars has me thinking TRP finally re-invented downtube shifters

/s

Not necessarily, commencal supreme v5 went from high pivot to "virtual" high pivot where two links still place the pivot high, but its position changes through travel. There might be more links under that cover and it might still feel similar to the old suspension, but still a bit different. Because companies rarely change their suspension layout completely, usually its the evolution of what's been going for them for years

New Eagle is here.

Takeover is live on the Peebs, but SRAM's page isn't live yet.

 New Neuron on Quinney's profile. Seems the only real difference is headset cable routing. Chew my fat one Canyon.

Are TLD working on a Dropframe equivalent? On Kyle Straits instagram.. 

Neuron now live on Canyon.com. Longer, lower, slacker betterer. Downcountry+?

geometry, lighter frame, chain device, frame protection, pivot hardware updates, cable routing, and "the wallet."

That's a decent amount of change even though it doesn't really look like it visually. Call it whatever you want, evolution, refinement. It's not just the same bike with headset routing. Did you want a whole new suspension layout?

So axs linkglide? Looks nice, price is meh. Those XO cranks are making me a little hot under the potato right now though, dayum. 

New SRAM brakes are out too, details on the other site

So would that 104 BCD E-MTB chainring work for old Quarq?

 Sram did an oopsie and has this image up on their website highlighting the new XXSL drivetrain with Level ULT Stealth brakes 

The Sram video also clearly shows a similar view of the new epic
