I can guarantee you that 5mm of real travel would make a difference as there actually is a difference, maybe its slightly more room for bottom out ramp up, run a little more sag and a more progressive tune , or maybe you run everything the same and it just gives you 5 mm more travel and 5mm more breathing room - would it make or break a bike ? No… but if it didn’t have any tangible effect why would yeti make lunch ride additions and why would other brands such as Santa Cruz make bikes that can be long shocked ?
This could be awesome, I wonder if it’ll have the adjustability of their other bikes, and I wonder if the rear travel will change? 140 rear...
This could be awesome, I wonder if it’ll have the adjustability of their other bikes, and I wonder if the rear travel will change? 140 rear travel although a small change would make it an even more capable all rounder.
Ratboy on the Cannondale DH proto frame. Wonder if they are reviving the concept, or he was just looking for a DH bike and they gave him the old frame that was kicking around.

Don't know what the geo or kinematics are, but super interesting concept with separating spring and damper.
Not really bike tech related, but does anyone know what's going on with Alpinestars riders using the MX helmet (Dak, Dunne..) ? Ethan Craik was using it last year as well. I don't think it is a new DH helmet because it looks exactly like the sm10. Craik is also back to a standard Bluegrass DH helmet now

Perhaps out the same mold but I'm pretty sure it was a mullet with a long shock. It's definitely set up as a proper DH bike and not just his enduro race bike with a 40 on it for shuttles

i think that‘s a new DH helmet from alpinestars, chinvent on dak‘s helmet is different to the MX and current DH helmet.

It looks like Ronan has been on the MX helmet recently. The top line S-M10 seems to be the helmet of choice for the rest of the team and other Astars sponsored riders as well. The total lack of available information into relative DH helmet safety is really frustrating (i.e. the margin by which they exceed standards). I've had several major concussions, and made it a priority to invest in the best helmet possible but still impossible to differentiate as a willing consumer between the Leatt 8.0, RPC, D4, Dissident II, 6D, Giro spherical, the A-stars mx or dh helmets, and others.

Not an expert, but have worked in the industry forever and sat through many product knowledge meetings. Buy a mouth guard and a neck brace.
Was responding to your zeb comments on ig too haha, I follow a lot of the forbidden sponsored riders and staff, always little sneak peaks in some of their posts, not sure if intentional or not haha

Hasn't been any DH bikes on Norco's website for a while now. Is there any rumors?
Not a rumour but I spotted this outside the Marks Work Warehouse in Squamish last week. I haven’t been following closely but I’m assuming this is the team kit with trp and crankbrothers. Also had an unlabelled Maxxis tire on the front that I had not seen before (might be old news though).
Your mom could feel the 5mm difference
I know 5mm ain’t much but it’s not “like less than an 1/8”
They are so close to…
it's more than a month that you can see the 404 pages on mcr tho

Yea but the embargo date is within a week or so.
This Tuesday according to their insta
Jeez man,
You can be better than that
Yup. The 9th according to deals as well.
Any news on a revised trek slash / e slash or rail?
Colby Pringle has been riding his around Squamish as well. Maybe they are restarting development of the platform
Already spotted the new colorway on IG, assuming that's Rhys
He’s just on a Jekyll with a 40
Perhaps out the same mold but I'm pretty sure it was a mullet with a long shock. It's definitely set up as a proper DH bike and not just his enduro race bike with a 40 on it for shuttles
That isn't a Jekyll front triangle - it has a straight top tube with a shock mount hanging from it!
Not a Jekyll seatstay either.

Looks the same to me?

you‘re right, i just looked at their top level mx helmet, the m10… dak seems to wear the slightly cheaper m8 helmet.
From the website it looks like they don't make the sm8 anymore.
Who’s insta are you finding this on?

Oh that was you on insta haha. You’re everywhere.

Both colorways have been posted here multiple times
Yes, but these are the first photos of the red/orange one in the wild. It was only renders of that one previously.
