Looks like tomorrow is the day.
stoked on the podcast/video we'll have tomorrow w/ darren. should explain any/all questions. (edit...yeah right...this is tech rumors, you'll have 4,000,000 other questions/observations no matter what : )
Just as an aside, congrats to Hugh McLeay (the i-Track guy) now that a brand as big as Norco is licensing his tech on two of their most popular models (Devinci and Trek can skirt around it, as the idler is still mounted to the swingarm).
Anybody know the release date of the new dreadnought?
I don't have any idea when it's going to be released, but a friend was at a shop who sells them and has seen it (pics, geo charts, etc). He said he's pissed he sold his v1 as v2 looks like it's quite a bit different. Said sizing is weird (med is shorter than v1 and large is longer?). Said they've switched to a four bar design to be a pedal better, but possibly at the cost of dh performance.
I don't know anything about anything, but he seemed pretty bummed about it. I guess we'll see?

I'm not an expert, but as I understand it iTrack is the idler position at the pivot rather than on the swingarm or main triangle. This is important because the idler then stays in a fixed position relative to the pivot throughout the suspension travel.

This idler pulley is attached to a member of the suspension linkage, so that it moves relative to the bottom bracket and the rear axle, as the suspension is compressed.

I hope sizing isn't weird. Current reach at 462mm is pretty good for a medium. I'm 5'10 and usually between sizes so hopefully medium doesn't shrink..

TL;DR: idler on one of the suspension links, applicable for 4 and 6-bar suspension designs. i-Track does not cover idlers on the main frame or the swingarm of a single pivot.
That's why Norco has it (chainstay of a 4-bar), ditto for Intense and Forbidden doesn't have it (single pivot). Kavenz had a similar layout to Norco and moved the idler to be concentric with the pivot of the chainstay, thus idler being 'mounted to the main triangle' (not moving relative to it), thus skirting the patent.
yea, i don't get it either. but that ship has kinda sailed unfortunately. at least it looks like there is a substantial surface area on the face where the hub will interface, ala SRAM torque caps (are those even still a thing?)

Present on all Rock Shox forks, but now there are screw on spacers for standard hubs included in the box.
Ya that weight is tough. I get its coil, but my EXT might as well be coil and its significantly lighter. I'm willing to bet a Zeb or 38 with a coil conversion is significantly lighter too.

yea, i had a bit of knee-jerk reaction to that weight before i realized it was coil (which was kind of dumb of me). a fox 40 is about an ounce or 2 heavier.

Saw a few of these prototypes ripping around Sun Peaks in August last year. I wasn't initially super excited about how it looks, but they look incredible in person. This one also looks amazing.

That's funny because I've seen the geo charts and it looks like it fixes a lot of the issues I had with the current bike. Does your friend want to buy my V1 dreadnought?
Not going to leak too much but I really though the geo moved it in positive ways, for sure takes cues off their supernought on a lot of things.
If more front-end stiffness is what you want; a 20mm axle wouldn't really help with that. If they wanted to increase stiffness, they would have needed to go to a keyed axle to really tie the stanchions together. There's no point in just making the axle bigger in diameter. It would achieve nothing.
The "axle" isn't really an axle anyways. It bears no radial load. It's a basically just a big draw bolt. Its only job is to clamp the hub into the drop-outs with substantial pressure. A 15mm axle can do that job just as well as a 20mm.
