pit bits from fort william BDS. most interesting is matt walker's proto and mention of atherton bikes running different flext patterns in the printed parts. some of the teams didn't want to give much up at this point. matt and the bike look so dialed in the riding footage. raw tomorrow
Probably a Strive that is small enough for Jesse.
Also some of the updates Fox made to the X2 according to their website

Probably a Strive that is small enough for Jesse.
Also some of the updates Fox made to the X2 according to their website
NEW base valve piston design and compression tune for increased damping performance and improved sensitivity
NEW bearing housing seal package virtually eliminates possibility of aeration
NEW scraper seal for improved durability
NEW more robust eyelet design on trunnion models
NEW 7000 series shock body on all models
NEW hard chrome damper shaft finish for increased durability
dunno if these „official“ points have been talked about here yet
I emailed fox Canada the other day about an aerated shock ( Im not the original owner) and they said they have a ‘fix for this trouble’ for $200cad. Haven’t sent it in yet though

On the Atherton flex experiment, I figured it was the same lugs with the flex tuned by changing the wall thickness or layup of the carbon tubes. I wonder.

Looking at the proto Saracen, it has a split pivot at the rear. What's up with the Split Pivot patent then? Trek shoed their variant at about the same time, supposedly giving them the ability to use the design royalty free, but what about Orbea and now Saracen? Is the SP patent US only?
EDIT: it appears to be so. Is Orbea sold in the US?

Looks like the same layout as the dh bike there are pictures of. There’s a pivot on rear triangle, can’t remember if on chain or brake stay.
Both colours look really good. Nice builds.

It is (source: I worked at an Orbea dealer last summer). Devinci, Orbea, Hope, and Antidote all use it, to name a few off the top of my head.

So the new bike will go with a much lower and more reasonable HP ? Riders were getting sick of getting pitched forward at the worst of times maybe ? Looks nice lets hope the finish and build quality matches the style of the bike, it might become a good contender.
That photo does look suspiciously AI modified. The tyre in the foreground doesn’t have that grainy filter so it’s not a standard photo filter. The main issue is that the pivot points on the linkage aren’t even close to being round.

What "getting pitched forward at the worst of times" are you talking about? Im riding a Dreadnought and never experienced this behaviour so far, and never heard of it. Im interested if this is really a know characteristic of the bikes and something that people complain about? And how do you fix it by lowering the pivot point?
The background isn't the original texture of concrete with small-fine gravel... !
Yellow arrows :
Around the frame there is a wierd shadow... !
Green arrows :
The spokes isn't straight and the same with the others, and the color is deferred, and you can clearly see it when the one spoke meets the other one... !
Blue arrows :
Even on the frame and on the linkige you can some imperfections... !
Orange arrow :
WTF is that... !?
Conclusion... :
Because i make modifications on photos and gifs somewhere up to 3 years now... and of course i have made my "own bikes" ... ! It's clearlythat the photo isn't the original and has some "modifications" on it... ( isn't just a zoom up photo...)... !
Probably...
He enhance the original photo, so he can erase the background and keep the bike and so he can make the changes... (probably to put on the "new shock"...!?)... ! And at the end he put them all together, and then tried to cover all the imperfections as good he could... !
Nice try bud... but you are not good enough... !
Before you starting to downvote and replying BS... Open your eyes and look more carefully... !
Don't try to play the "smart-ass"... just go back and see careful his post with the photo... but this time with your eyes open... or probably you needed someone to fool you... so it's so difficult to believe the truth... !?
Just L☻L !

I don't think it's that people don't believe you (it's obvious that the image has been AI-modified), I think it's just that they think you're trolling. I mean, between the X-Files arrows, the colorful language, and the creative punctuation, it's kinda hard to not get that idea.

Virtual high pivot?

Might be easier for them to adapt the wall thicknesses and fill ratios of the 3D printed parts to achieve a similar effect.
I know it has been mentioned already but are there any updates on the new boxxer release, shouldn’t it be spring/early 2023?
That’s about time now, a friend of mine is building up a new bike and it would be good to know if it’s worth it to wait for the new one.

Yes, my LBS (in California) is a dealer.

this bike was sporting the allready seen new vivid as well as the boxxer (both without the blackbox sticker)
Plus a rather interesting looking rocker
As if they used 5Dev cranks as rockers.
3d printed and designed using topology optimisation (removing the unneeded material).
The "new Vivid", could it be called Hyper Deluxe? 😜
A little off topic but where did you get this pic ? it looks like its been enhanced using AI aka Topaz Labs
Possibly just blown up to a 1:1 pixel size and we're seeing the effects of post processing.
The photo isn't original, someone added filters - modifications on it !
That photo does look suspiciously AI modified. The tyre in the foreground doesn’t have that grainy filter so it’s not a standard photo filter. The main issue is that the pivot points on the linkage aren’t even close to being round.
chill boys, it's just zoomed in with a phone. 🙄
taken in chur, switzerland. all scott gear, guess guy's working at scott.

Some next level tinfoil hat action with the arrows.

Looks like a proto 3d Ti link so the existing bike can fit a new shock.

I noticed the Commencal team on a different swing arm than the V5 that was just released. Bottom photo is stock frame.
