Probably the fresh Jeffsy as discussed in this thread but just got this sent to my inbox

Chance of a lifetime sounds like a competition but then they have a count down timer on their website. Wording could be taken different ways
Straight top tube knollys looks cursed
Yeah probably right. Something to oddly look forward to.
edit. Looking at the link again, it says Jeffsy so probably a Jeffsy thing.
What? I think it looks great. More importantly they mentioned the move to having all links containing bearings. I know someone mentioned that before they used bushings in one of the links and it would cause a lot of stiction.
That's the new Instinct, which keeps the same layout as the current one but dropping the shared frame of the Altitude should drop it a few pounds. I've got a new Altitude on the way and its rad AF
In the right picture is the "old" Altitude!
Not including XL seems weird, no?
Not at all, they're openly marketing this bike to smaller sized people. Knolly also says this is the first bike to pave the way for their 6th gen designs, meaning we'll likely see the release of bikes that include XL sizing and full 29" wheel options.
Endwarfin?
Personal gripe on website announcements is when they offer multiple builds but don't have photos of each one. (I know updated pictures will come later, just bugs me)
Fantastic looking bike anyways.
Marketing departments messing up links/photo names/file names always gets a good chuckle out of me.
True…especially when that champagne color looks so damn good
Yeah, looks like a winner.
May be not new news to some here, but others might find it interesting:

An interview with Mick Williams about what the Trinity bike is and could be with new options, and some future products and ideas for the WRP brand.
Hopefully that maybe is soon
Given that the Era uses an X-Fusion chassis (the same goes for the upcoming Fast coil fork), I wonder if this would have happened sooner if they offered an RV1 chassis for 29 inch wheels? And on that note, does anyone know if there is a new RV1 coming? or any news on the prototype air shock that was on Tom Van Steenburgen's Rampage bike?
Era doesn't use x fusion lowers for some time now.
Apologies if this has been posted already; new mirror saddle from Spesh?
L.Shaw to Specialized, along with 6000 others!
As I said. Totally different.
Looks like Jack has a new Jeffsy built up and filming an edit.
Looks like the shape of a Toupe. Would make sense and would be about time that this model get a mirror version.
From the other site, most likely a rendering but KYB single crown USD fork and a coil shock? I'm here for it thats for sure.
They made a running change to remove the bushings on the current gen of bikes. My 2022 warden has bushings and my new chilcotin has bearings.
I’m curious how the new one piece shock link is an improvement and if they will sell them for the older bikes.
Does anybody know what is the thing mounted under the stem? Looks weird
Electromagnetic steering damper

Why not just use some magnets and aluminium? And make it wholly passive. It's possible you'd need huge magnets though...

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Cheers Vital!
There's some better pictures of that Yamaha prototype here. Definitely a real bike, and not a mockup. Those KYB suspension pieces are droolworthy for sure. Especially the shock which is labeled 65 on the coil. Hopefully that's a 205x65mm? One can only hope.
