I have a very short stem at home from a Mondraker Summum, it can be run at 20 mm offset. It's nothing new, albeit the one from Rulezman is probably more refined. Only reason why Mondraker stopped putting them on bikes (I guess) is that their bikes didn't have long reach back then (the stem I have is from a 2016 Summum, 422 reach in size M if I am not mistaken).

Is there an existing topic (how much reach is too much reach maybe?) covering this or should a new one be opened? Before this topic is offtopiced again.

One thing to take note of though... Is anybody taking the backsweep of the bars into account? And to throw some gravel in the mix, when the XC rider crashing is shown, the 'cantilever' stem should prevent that to a greater extent than the zero offset stem as pushing on both sides of the bar with an equal force (being stopped by an obstacle) will want to straighten the bars. So much for an 'unrecoverable' position...

My guess is a mid- to long-travel light e-MTB, judging by the sizeable fork travel and the remote visible in the first pic (looks like either a Fazua or TQ).

EXT just dropped their new dual crown fork.

Designed for E-MX bikes though.

LH grip looks to have an ebike/motor lever

I think it'll fit a DH bike no problem.

With it being designed for 20inch wheels I somewhat doubt that

Oooh nice proto. My guess is a slightly less darker painted Wreckoning resulting in a brand new LS MK3 FTW Edition. Blood red version still under development

If it had 29" compatible crowns, it might be doable

Looks like an ebike with a Shimano controler on the left of the bar and the usual shimano screen near the stem.

Interesting if there is a new version of the ebike with a Shimano system.

the ~10lb weight won't help things either.

The new EXT dual crown feels like it took a lot of design cues from the Dorado?

Also, looks like the new Boxxer should be dropping soon based on this recent Rockshox instagram post:

I don't think this is a tech rumour but I do think everyone will agree with my sentiment:
I love seeing the perfectly organized toolboxes, and would love a mega-compilation of them...
