Looks like an all new sb165 mullet to me. The area where the shock mounts to the downtube looks different to the sb160 and there isn’t the big yeti branding on the downtube. So not just a 160 with a new link. I think this is the same bike Richie was spotted on earlier on this page of the thread. Also not an old 165, it has the new cable routing and upper link that all the other models received.
Pretty sure it's just the old 165 with a 29er fork & wheel slapped on it. People have been doing it since release. Look at how slack it is (<63) - both the HTA & STA are really raked back.

Can't speak to this frame or photo, but I do know that they're testing some mullet links (and/or rear triangles) with their local guys in CO on their SB160s

it is not as the link is inside like the sb160, it's the new one and it's mullet

Interesting… I ran the geo numbers with just throwing a 27.5 wheel on the back of my 160 and a lot of the numbers were very close or exact as the new ibis hd6.

Yeah, looking at it again you're right (how the upper link connects to the seat tube is like the SB160 instead of the old 165). Although in the first photo, the linkage is raw silver, so maybe it's just a proto mullet link for a 160?

Yea, also, on this tire... On the Downtime Podcast he did a week or so ago he said 'tire selection' was perfect for his destruction of the the MSA world cup. He had this prototype on the front for that race. The more land offered by the larger knobs works well on MSA rock. ... The Argotal competitor will be very popular with Maxxis riders this season.

it could be but give it a few months and the new sb165 will come out
I noticed that oneup is now listed as a brand under the Santa Cruz website like Reserve are.
Good spot there, had not checked the site. Burgtec still listed on there as a lower tier sponsor (judging by the size and position), I guess they are still a supplier for saddles and other bits that they can't get from Oneup

Kind of amazed no one has noticed the aluminum prototype from Gee’s post

Did anyone watch the Yoshimura live video with Dak today? Any confirmation of new product?
This looks to be a new color for the Norco Sight Youth?

Yes, clipless pedal being developed

About 10 pages back (I think) there’s some more info on it.
A photo from Dyfi of a full build 👍
In that Instagram image Jackson also seems to be using a Oneup cockpit, rather than Burgtec. Oneup and Santa Cruz are both Pon brands, so makes sense.
Also looks like new unreleased e13 rims ...
new zerode DH bike is official

New Norco sight and optic all have this two paint. Some combos better than others…
Let’s see how it pans out cotton.
I hope they make him some custom "Dak Attack" stems.
A SPD compatible platform, or a new clipless system?
Gonna be hard to top the HTs
That’s pretty darn sharp.
Topping the durability included?
I’ve had no issues 🤷🏻♂️

Where did you see that?
