I wonder why they are not going the UDH, should limit them? Wouldnt work with their CS lenght flip chip but they could design around the UDH for the same functionality.

Aiming for a price sensitive usergroup I don't see the incompatability with transmission too big of a problem for privateer.

Personally however I wouldn't buy a bike without it.

FYI, XTR cranks use the same construction method overall (hollow crankarm and a skin glued on on the inside). But I guess there's less of a chance of something going wrong as the spider isn't part of the glued bond.

I'm getting a weird blend of Commencal Furious and first-gen Orbea Rallon.

I've always thought the move to 38mm stanchions was kinda silly, but my 170mm travel lyrik on my ebike looks really noodley with the larger downtube. Its all making sense to me now.

It’s the Intense Cali flag logo. But chances are this one was made by Jeff

I don't own a downhill bike, but why even bother with a seat on the M1? At sag, it's going to be pointed even higher!

Need bigger welds stacks and a white with black outline logo for full nostalgia effect.

When the seat is lower one's pelvis meets it at a different angle while seated. Thus a higher nose. It works the same with dirt jumpers and trials bikes. You should try it.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Can't believe I got 2 downvotes for asking the question. Laughing

Any cool guys out there ridden the 2024 Norco Fluid VLT with the new Bosch SX motor that was released early in the summer? Looks like it’ll be an awesome mid-weight contender going up against the Relay and the EXe.

Lot of hate for asking a question. Almost feels like pinkbike.

I think its because in the past there has been enough ebike performance debates in this forum. It does not really offer much for Tech Rumors and Innovation of future products. Otherwise derailment would happen and poppa Sspomer will have to take off his belt.

Hayes has Manitou Mezzer forks at 40% off on their website, and low stock/unavailable options. New/updated enduro fork coming from Manitou soon?

What more can they upgrade it with? It’s already the lightest of the superenduro forks (not sure about the Intend models, but they are boutique), it works incredibly well (don’t mind the reviews where they find problems with the performance - those were examples of the first batches). The only way i can see them improve it is the way of Formula and MRP, with the Selva and the Bartlet - make it a lightweight double-crown fork with a 15mm thru-acle and 190mm travel. Smile In the same time, keep the single crown option!

given that they recently (last year or so) launched updated Mattoc and Mastodon models, I think it's pretty likely.

A coil option could be offered, and maybe also a more varied array of models for different price points so that its more in line with the Dorado (I've heard good things about the performance of the coil-sprung Comp model) and the new Mattoc. But the potential for a lightweight dual crown version could also be really unique if they can get people to buy it!
