What's the difference between the Vivid Ultimate & the Vivid Ultimate DH version? edited: looks like the DH version looses the climb switch.
I ordered an EXT Aria but frankly would rather have this shock on my Relay.
Normally the Resi in relation to lock out or climb, Similar to fox offerings is my guess?

It will be a alloy Horst Link bike with vertikal shock mount. You already can see the blurred bike on the Youtube Channel from Mark Diekmann. On the top tube stays the name „Scrub“.
Spotted the reverse-arch Fox XC fork again in the Lifetime Grand Prix social media coverage of the Leadville 100. Resolution on the 2nd screenshot here is not great, but does it look to anyone else like the trail is visible through part of the arch? Maybe skeletonized to save even more weight? Might just be an optical illusion or weird reflection.

While Loic and Finn's bikes are indeed oddly glued to the ground, to say that Fox and RS can only offer clicky adjustments is just not true. Fox offers multiple tune options on rear shocks to athletes and custom ones to the top athletes (most notably Greg). RS does the same.

My hunch is that Ohlins has taken more of a motocross approach to tuning the suspension, and have set aside resources to develop tunes/setups for Specialized’s riders and bikes. The impression I get for Fox and RS is that the sponsored teams are provided with a selection of their available stock tunes and maybe a weekend of testing with someone like Jordi. Let’s say the stock tunes don’t suite their needs, then of course they will try and come up with something better, especially for a team/rider on the pointy end of the results, however the resources to do it properly, probably are not there. I know a lot of speculation here but like I said just a hunch.
Yes but lots of “pro” who ride ohlins cannot get it set up right and complain constantly. I wonder why this is
Bit late to the party on this one - the Vivid air is pretty sweet. It won't blow up on you after 2 weeks like the previous version Vivid, or the current gen Float X2 does.
What happens when the lubricating oil passes from the damper side into the air spring? And do the wiper seals hold the pressures involved in air springs? And/or how much friction that creates on the wiper seals?

But yeah, not a bad way to increase the volume
My first thought when I saw this post was that Fox should probably sort out their non-hollow normal crowns before they start casting cavities and holes in them.

Pretty sure most crowns are forged and hollow already... Making this work would just require the lowers and the steerer tube to be sealed and glued to the crown to hell and back. Any movement, wear or oxidisation could cause a main chamber leakage. Not unlike what happens with Rock Shox SID carbon crowns to be honest... I think one was put back into action through liberal application of Loctite 243 (blue kind) to seal the cracked threads for the top cap (the fastest and easiest way to try something when I was asked if anything can be done to make it work).
Maybe it's just the skinny tire playing tricks on my eyes, but that last one looks like it might have 34mm stanchions. All the other photos look like a 32. Perhaps two new fox xc forks in the works? Having a super light 32 and slightly burlier but still xc 34 makes some sense. To compete with sid sl and the 35mm sid.

Fox already offers the Step Cast in 32 and 34 so I wouldn't be surprised if that continues on with the new forks.

Looks like a 34 to me too fwiw. It also doesn't have the see-through/skeltonized arch we've seen in some of the other pics..

You're a legend!

Yes indeed, that's how it looked to me too. It looks as if the arch is kind of folding backward, like some sort of generative design.

Is this a trap?
Or...a Thirst Trap?
Sure it‘s not just an Antidote Darkmatter?
He owns a Darkmatter he races DH with.
Rose DH bike is the 17th..
Sorry false alert.

From the other site, right on time:

Unfortunately that's about as much as I can say. You'll know more soon.

That crown is pretty slimmed down
