At a minimum it looks like new hardware that is more robust and does better in wet conditions, at least based on this post.

I'd settle for them re-releasing the location and time stamping handlebar button and actually staying in business so I can buy a sensor that fits my Dorado!
Is Richie on a fork with an old crown? Or new is now old again.
Fox is having a hard time getting stock, maybe?
Renthal bar and stem. Video is 4+ years old.
You are totally right. And I just took a look at the linkage, sb150 for sure. Now why did Richie just post this???? Just some bar drags like Matt Hunter for the gram I guess.
Looks like…the current Tues 😅😂 Seriously though, what did they cover? Looking forward to seeing more details.
Motion Instruments have been really good at constantly updating their current software, even when they seem pretty quiet there seems to be stuff happening. The app gets very frequent updates with new features and bug fixes and they finally added android support too! I've had the impression there was hardware expansion being worked on but I don't know exactly what the plan is
I spy a new tire
2.5 inch "Captain"
Beringer the motorcycle brake brand out of France known for their high end brake systems for motorcycles has stepped into the mtb market, these brakes are CNC machined that are made in house in their factory in France. They are not cheap they start at €999 & €1199 for the custom option.

For rocking the reverse mulēt.
that‘s on old picture from around 2019/2020… old 36 factory, renthal bars (which yeti isn‘t using for years now), ion kneepads and a SB150/SB165.
edit: ok, some already pointed that out
Jubal Davis posted a video of him bardragging that same corner on the new SB165, Richie responded with that in reference to same corner but on the old 165.
Edit: looks like Richie reposted it with a bit more context:
Thanks! And it's the same Matt Hunter corner:
These look really interesting, the rods they use to guide the pads seem interesting, but does seem to require you use their pads. No info on piston sizes or lever feel though.
Why be bummed that it isn't going HP? The current Process X is rad, fast, and comfortable to ride. I don't think adding the complication of the HP and idler would really do anything to improve it.
That's a new 153. Caleb is also on one in that video. Looks great, like a smaller X.
The current carbon Process X short CS position gives 157mm travel. Long CS position is 164mm.
Will be interesting how many other geo differences a new 153 with have. IMO 4mm of travel difference is not really perceptible.
Having two models with set CS lengths will let them use a UDH so that could be a factor.
I find it really interesting that no one find a way to made CS length ajustable with udh. I guess the dropouts will be too big
I think it's more to do with the very specific chain length and system setup on the Transmission stuff that keeps it from being a thing. They want everything based around A fixed chainstay length.
Oh really? I thought it was more to do with the axle/hanger/T-type interface that made it hard to move back and forward?
I didn't think chainstay length had anything to do with it? Otherwise sag would affect the system, or turning you bike into a hardtail (longer CS as your suspension doesn't compress) would cause issues, but it doesn't.
Raaw Madonna?
Frameworks new bonded prototype:
I;m pretty sure with the Madonna you can have either the adjustable CS or UDH.
Rocky Instinct has an adjustable chainstay with UDH.

But you can only use the longer position when running a T-Type derailleur.
Pole bankrupt?! Just heard a comment on another site...
You are correct. I nuked my post, but you got there too quick!
