R.E Atherton. SM170 (subtracted manufacturing 170). MBUK digested, not an awful lot but a few bit and pieces.
Made in Wales, although the lugs not made in house. Presumably contracted out to other company nearby? Reading between the lines tube and component assembly at Atherton HQ. CNC machined lugs. 7075 aluminium. 12 sizes rather than the 23 currently offered (still not bad). DW4 rather than DW6, twin link, 10 bearings. Full range in aluminium planned soon.

Everything sounded good until you said it had a different suspension layout. Now it'll feel like you're not getting the "real" thing. Maybe. Let's see what the reviewers have to say.

As stated in the video, geometry is the largely the same, wish they made a P2.5 size with 475 reach. I have a Gen1 141 in P3, like the length in some instances, but is a little limousine feeling in tight stuff. I think a 465 reach is too short for me.

That top tube kink is steep, but IMO it looks better than the longer travel one. A company can make the aesthetics of it work if it looks intentional. If you're gonna make a kink, go in full, if you halfway commit to it, it looks worse.
I was searching around to see if anyone makes magnesium cranks, and I stumbled on this- a fully mag frame & cranks ebike. Claimed weight of 48 pounds with kinda heavy build. Thats lighter than the top end Orbea Rallon. How can they make a mountain bike frame (let alone an ebike frame) out of magnesium without it costing as much as the space shuttle?

Hearing April although some stuff is out already, mostly rear shocks.
If you feel like upgrading your 2021-2023 fork, new cartridges are available already.
Curious as to how they will approach the new trend towards HBO platforms, heard anything in that area? Also, where are the new cartridges available? Wouldn't mind moving away from the GRIP2 damper

Just checked my inmail and found out the latest news from Push. Apparently we should get the full specs and order/delivery details for the USD fork on February 29th
Those are actually very nice looking. How many years did it take someone to make a visually appealing carbon crank? The only other one that comes close are the RF era's and I still only thought they were alright.

The best shape for a crank is a tube (stiff in torsion and bending). The best way to maximise the (limited) space is to do it as boxy as you can so the material is positioned as far from the spindle to pedal axis as possible. Chamfering and shapes take away material from the most optimal location to carry the loads.

Has been done years ago. In contrast to the Hope ones, they are also really light.
Any chance the UCI prototype rules will force a limited run of frames to be built (BUILD IT SPECIALIZED)? Or have Specialized Gravity and Pivot been given a bit of a free pass in the context of the struggling bike industry?
just getting a RAW from thredbo. these are in there. YTs?

Wait actually pricing isn't listed yet. Maybe it will be the price of an aerospace vehicle considering its using aerospace technology
No welds and no glue - cast and then machined?
that will make a nice fire when the battery burns
If it ever gets made - the domain is nearly 4 years old now, willing to bet the page hasn't changed much considering the spec on the bikes too.
Go bother someone else with your crap.
Does anyone have any insight on when the new FOX stuff might be coming out?

I’m not sure why YT bothers with the frame cover. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they are running a new fox thing.
They have nothing to hide with their suspension? You can see everything through the cover when the suspension moves.
I dont know why but YT kind of strikes me as the type of company to do this just for publicity. Id like to be wrong though.

Nothing for HBO in 2024. Most specs are already published: https://www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&listall=partlist
Forks are still Grip2, just a new compression tune. Complete cartridges and compression tune update kit part numbers are listed at that same link.
You can have your LBS order directly from Fox or I’ve seen a few pop up online at shops such as S4: https://s4suspension.com/collections/service-parts/products/fox-grip2-cartridge?variant=40350248304828
Hmmm. Vorsprung's rear shock is looking more appealing every day...

25kg.

They look straight out of aliexpress.
If by "Aliexpress" you mean "the company that designs and manufactures carbon parts for Lotus", then yeah
Making parts for Lotus ≠ good design.
It's gaudy as fuck. The anodisation for anodisation's sake, seemingly nonsense graphics and big flat faces aren't in the least bit appealing to me.

That wouldn’t be fun ride wrapping

Bruni said on "making up the number's" podcast that it wouldn't be in production until 2025.
Are those solid machined chainstays on the norco dh prototype?! Could be milled out on the underside I suppose?
They're hollow/machined on the inside facing the tire. The PB core bike article has a clearer photo.
