Happens all the time actually. How long have you been watching? It’s nothing new because the bike industry is a lot smaller than those companies, and most brands have to sell out of their old stock before the new one comes out.

This industry is driven by advancement. If somebody has the idea that a newer better version of a bike or product is coming out, they are less likely to buy the current version. Even if said company is blowing them out for super cheap. Specialized is sitting on a ton of older stock because of this. They’ve had a new version of the Enduro on deck for a while now, but haven’t released anything because of it.

Can you confirm the last part about the Specialized Enduro? Everything I’ve heard says there isn’t a replacement in the near term. Stumpy is getting an update mid year, but the industry people I’ve spoken to haven’t heard anything about the enduro replacement.

I heard it was 17.99/19.49

 

Hows that for rumours

Again, why would any insiders be spreading news about a new model when they can’t sell out of the old ones? It’s exactly what I was saying.
 

Also, there was an article on that other site about their patent for a new 170 mm bike…

By insiders I mean people I know personally. 
I’ve been told there is a new stumpy a few months away, but those same people are unaware of any new Enduro coming. 
Have you heard specifically there is a new Enduro ready to drop but they are holding off to wait for old stock to die down? 
They did this with the Levo, and had stock sitting in warehouses for months before releasing it, but it was hardly a secret.

Trek did the same with the Slash then released it anyway alongside the old one Huh

The description refers to a repair kit that also includes seals, so why is mineral Maven being replaced here along with the brakes on DOT?

Or am I misunderstanding something?

It's just the service launch page, DOT and mineral brakes are in there.

With how many tweaks the big S does to the Stumpy I would be surprised if they *don't* always have a new one on the way.

 

New Enduro is waiting to clear stock for sure. You can only assume they don't want to end up in the mess Trek is in selling current gen and previous gen side by side.

That's from Cam @NSMBs Yeti SB160 review. No mention of the brakes in it.

From the other site. In the video they keep referring to “the good brakes” on Kaz’s bike BF30AD73-7D0F-42E2-922F-314965165758

Just in case the Dreadnought post disappears again, taking all quotes with it, I love the colourway "Fatty T". Great beer! Again, I hope they have a "Sh***y Kitty" colour as well.

Any further news on turbo levo ( gen4).  Seems like its stock sell out time.  Local reliable people don’t seem to have news o. Dates

I saw a very finished looking carbon bike with a paint job I didn’t recognize in one of Remi’s stories. Also think it will have headset cups like the stumpy evo.
