Calling it „superior peak“ and „the future of downhill“ might also be an exaggeration when it basically looks like a commencal FRS with a few frame adjustments built in.
Not since he got married
Something new coming out at Spesh ?
Man I hope there is news on a new turbo levo.
Yeer a wizzard, 'arry!
A new Epic is coming out soon. A dealer told my friend about it when he was looking for an Epic Evo.

@sspomer Is there a reason my post about Fezzari was deleted? It was one of the first ones after the link to their new website was posted. I didn't say anything inflammatory, in fact, I commented about their bikes being good value and generally getting good reviews. @Big Bird also quoted my post and commented, his post is also deleted. Did we ruffle some feathers?
All the info on the latest Rocky Instinct - https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/introducing-2024-rocky-moun…
We've got a test bike under a contributor, so stay tuned for a review in the near future.
Yep
your posted wasn't nuked by me or any other vital staff. if you quoted a post and the original post was deleted by the author, your quote would be nuked too.
I didn't realize that. Thanks for clarifying. I think I quoted the "astroturfer". I wonder why he deleted it.
The bike looks fantastic, with very sensible updates and features. The frame-only $$$ is a kick in the nuts though, I realize it's in line with similar frames but it's still hard to believe frames have gotten this expensive. I thought I was paying a lot a few years ago when I bought my Spur frame for $2900.
counterpoint - i think it's less about hiding any potential IP, but more about building hype. because every time a bike shows up under wraps we immediately start discussing it and speculating.
I can appreciate they want to keep their secrets a secret until they can't and see the hype building as well. What I see happening eventually, mainly in DH, is a team saying it's to hide a secret but truth is, it's an aerodynamic fairing to squeeze out more speed.
Perhaps it was a masterful astroturfing technique? Make a seed post designed to attract all of the negative comments and then delete once they show up?
Im forever going to call their bikes, new and old brand, “astrobikes”.
Do magnetic pads help with pads pinging off the rotor?
With so many former KHS riders on Ari, that almost tracks.

The new Dreadnought has to be close, Rhys with another instagram post:

It's only a matter of time until some brand screen prints "Do Not post on Vital" on their frame wrap.
Is he not just on a Spruce Druid?
Stoked either way really
The comments are gold.
The pixelated bike actually belongs to @DangerousDave though. Pretty sure that's Dale's Deviate with the Maven brakes that Dave is sitting on.
nope, thats the new dreadnought in Fatty-T colorway, plus, check the forbidden comment with the eyes on the post
It has kinda been done (in general, not vital specific though)
Definitely the new dreadnought.

Maybe new shim stack? Additionally red colour and bleed valves from Boxxer
current zeb and lyrik already having those air bleed ports prior to the new boxxer.
