Thats the ride of Erik Irmisch. He's one of their athletes.

Anyway, the Tues hasn't seen an update in a while, hasn't it?

Looks similar to what the Scott team did a year or two back on the Gambler; the axle path remains the same (assuming it's the same frame) but trying an idler to reduce kickback a bit

If i recall the carbon is 2020 and the alloy, if they even sell it anymore, was introduced back in 2018.

Yes the Tues is a few years old, but if you look at the geometry it's pretty much up to date, they are only lacking a mullet version.

I definitely didn't want to say it NEEDS an update. I'm all for long product cycles (thanks shimano saint...).
However the industry tends to mostly see this differently, so I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be working on some new version...

Looks like a wet scream. Maybe just mis-labeled? Mis-hotpatched?

Or may be he’s teasing us and those are 2 different tires - an Assegai and a Wetscream… :D

The one knob seen over the first s of the Assegai name looks nothing like Assegai side knobs and very much looks like a wetscream side knob...

My friend who is one of the editors of another MTB magazine mentioned a media embargo until the twenty-third of June. Maybe BikeRumor leaked it early.

Highly interesting fork though. Really good damper design, innovative air spring and somewhat competitively priced against Pike and Fox 34. I just wish Manitou products were more easy to purchase in Europe.

June 23rd embargo seems odd given they've already released them for sale on their site and have updated service docs published.

i still have a first gen mattoc pro and love it. IRT is great. love that they make it to run less travel now, i have a custom spacer in mine to get it down to 120mm and it makes an absolutely fantastic downcountry (*gasp i said it*) fork.

What’s difficult in the purchase of a Manitou fork in Europe? Pretty easy, if you ask me! My kid’s bike gas a Mattoc Pro with IRT, great performance and lightweight! Smile

I guess I look at this thread where people from all around the world bring/come to find info on new and interesting mtb related things.

more like “Hey, look at what’s going on over at BikeRumour! <insert link here>

rather than, “why isn’t anyone talking about this thing I think should be talked about…”

like we all play a part in the success of this thread, not a condemnation of missed opportunities.  Apologies if my responses were offside, waiting for the coffee to kick in!

I get what you meant.

Otherwise this thread would be nothing but:

"Hey there's a new Specialized Enduro... Go google it for more info"

How shit would that be! Silly

Elan (some of you might know them from the skiing world) is 'back' in the bike game. Not sure how much effort will be put into marketing these bikes outside Slovenia though. One thing is for sure, a Fazua equiped full susser weighing 22 kg sure is an achievement Smile
