Bosch system speed sensor magnet. It takes it off the rotor and puts it on the valve stem. Frame manufactures don't have to make provisions for a speed sensor back at the rear end any more! Big plus to not have a hole at the seatstay/chainstay.
How many sorcery chips does a guy need to offset the weight of that speed sensor magnet?
All of the sorcery chips
In all seriousness though the magnet isn't too heavy. Very little noticeable imbalance even at 20mph on trail. Now in the bike stand you will probably notice it but it's not any worse than 120ml of Stan's flowing around in your tire...
Definitely not as bad as the insert lapping up all the Stan's fluid and making a huge coral like blob of all the latex bits that wedges between the tyre and the insert making you jump around riding on tarmac.

Yeah, but it’s a magnet….
wait, lemme put the sarcasm font on
Yeah, but it’s a magnet, so it’ll be attracted to the earth
Now that the Pivot prototype's been out in the open for a bit, I decided to review the available shots/footage of the Spesh prototype and I am almost certain there's no concentric link to the BB. There's just no clearance from what I can see, and having tried all sorts of weird link configurations in Linkage (including a six-bar one that essentially acted like the old Demo with a completely forward axle path) it just doesn't make sense in any layout. What does make sense to me is those three bolts indicating a modular BB, which I believe @paddydigital suggested a while back, and the room between the bash guard and chainstay suggests a 'pull'-style linkage similar to the Supreme DH V4 (which is backed up by some shots of the prototype last year with a clear pivot visible in the fabric cover).
I made a couple changes to my model in Linkage to update it accordingly; mainly it just seems to have a more rising rate than the previous generation (and overall progression can vary wildly but we can't see anything so I went with a slightly more moderate amount).
Cable clamp in the headtube definitely says privateer.
Does nobody else notice the release of the pinion integrated drivetrain system?
As a current Privateer owner, those are definitely the same headtube cable clamps as the current generation. looks like it has two position for the shock (mullet compatible) and the rear dropouts are now adjustable. Plus it's got a ton more room in the front triangle, but I like the lower slung look of the current 161 more.

Strangely it looks like in full 29er mode with high/short setup in the flipchips, so maybe they intend to release a mullet specific frameset (I see one of their factory riders testing this on insta)
Current 161 always looked crazy steep in the seat tube angle to me, but the photo of this one is bad in order to asses the geo

what‘s with all those cables running out of the BB, i definitely see 2? 1 must be brakeline but what‘s with the other (grey) one?
Probably just a speed sensor for data acquisition.
The pictures of the bike without the data acquisition on it don't have that grey wire. Pull up shots of the old frame with the data system on it and you can see the wire going to a sensor in the rear brake mount adapter.

I’ll try to stop the derailment!
Saw it at the Intense Pits in Leogang, any Ideas?
I don‘t think this has been reported yet?!

There's been a fair amount about it's development on their IG: https://www.instagram.com/pygabikes/?hl=en
Isn't that Joe Connell in the back of that photo? Doesn't he ride for Privateer?

Regardless of the new one if I would buy a new Enduro frame it would definitely be the Privateer.
Good point.

Kona going back to their roots, love to see it.
The frame looks beyond burly and the rubber protector on the top tube surely must mean it's dual-crown fork compatible. Sick!

what if... what if there's a speed sensor (like an e-bike) and this is used to automatically adjust the shock rate?
At higher speeds, the shock could self-adjust and provide different ride characteristics to low-speed riding.
Then, the buttons on the handlebars might be overrides?
Marzocchi hinting at a 38 style fork or a high end offering? Probably the former to rival the RS Domain if I had to guess.
Probably just a speed sensor for data acquisition.
A pic was leaked a couple months back on PB Win it Wednesday, it was deleted pretty quickly.
I posted it here as well.
I'm not sure how to find it again, maybe its on my account somewhere

Found a picture of Sam Hill's Big Bike on Instagram with SRAM Black Box Trigger.
Random Curious question: is the saint chainring narrow wide? I would imagine not seeing as it was designed before 1x and hasn’t been updated since…
Found it
Nothing special in that one, I think a lot of the Sram pros run Blackbox shifters.
Zee is not n/w, idk about Saint. The clutches on those derailleurs are quite strong out of the box though...
