The issue is that Transmission "knowing" the time to shift is marketing BS. There is no hardware to allow the drivetrain to know when to shift.
Transmission puts enough pressure on the chain to shift at a shift ramp/ gate, but not enough pressure to force a shift before the chain reaches ramp/gate. The drivetrain knows nothing.
This is why it's highly unlikely there will ever be a cable activated Transmission derailleur. With direct cable shifting, there is no way to prevent forcing a shift.
The key to the shifting performance of transmission is completely reliant on controlling the limited force of the derailleur.
It doesnt know the first shift but when you are banging gears it times the next shift for the gates.......... thats exactly what it does.. as...

Apparently understanding English is above your head. I'm sorry that you lack the comprehension and critical thinking skills to evaluate marketing prose.
The drivetrain doesn't know when the first shift occurs, so it can't know when the second shift occurs. The second (and subsequent shifts are delayed simply to avoid the derailleur moving and increasing the pressure on the chain. The amount of time it is delayed is an educated guess at best, the drivetrain doesn't "know" the position of the chain relative to shift gates.
New manufacturer entering the brake market from the south west UK - Hel. Think they usually specialise in racing brakes/brake parts for cars and motorbikes.
Edit: this was only meant to be an observation that the release had slipped under the radar (or perhaps only my radar?)
I was able to add to cart. I selected 230x65 and changed currency to usd. After that the add to cart option appeared. I think it was sold out prior to changing currency.

sounds like it might be driven by regional allocations
Yes it is, as mentionned already very close to the current Ransom, but that's the Gambler that was ridden at the IXS cup. Not sure yet if the team will be riding it at the World Champs, but they're spending a bunch of time on it to dial in the platform and setup.

Let me introduce you to the latest, greatest, new thing from Shimano that just came out only 20 years ago, Rapid Rise! 🤣

Ok, I've shit on Scott's internal shock designs on here forever and while if I'm being honest, the long travel bikes do look good, my minds not changing on the serviceability side of things and that their bikes are a consumer nightmare. Why are they pushing the internal shock thing so hard? Is it just to be different? Is it to have a selling point to some "needs the cool new thing" consumer out there because their bikes didn't have any real reason to buy them over another bike until they had a unique thing? That isn't actually that unique because they just copied a company they bought while producing both similar lines at the same time. I'm willing to give room for it with xc/trail/Enduro bikes because people love techy things, but I'm actually baffled at a DH bike that takes away serviceability for form. If there's a bike that doesn't need a shitty gimmick that takes away from a weekend at the races, it's a DH bike.

Because Scott, that’s why, dumb bikes with dumb solution, shame cause years ago they actually looked good, and rode good like the gambler

Internal routing is super simple on Scott bikes because of the big hatch you open to access the shock, and you’re going to prolong shock life simply by less exposure to the elements and potentially allow for better performance in wet conditions - its a gimmick and if you asked me 12 months ago id have whole heartedly agreed with you - but honestly the more I see them in person the more im starting to like them.
New Spindrift seems ready And with proper routing 🏆

A Propain employee was on Pinkbike saying they read the comments on their bike reviews and they got it wrong with headset cable routing as everyone didn't want it. So kudos to them for listening.

having done a full rebuild on a spark last week i can say that bike sucks, so does the routing, the hidden shock and the whole concept ( broken bolts and all the crap that enters the headset find it's way down the frame where the precious shock is hidden ) such a crappy bike honestly

Good on them for fixing it on the spindrift, hopefully an indication of more companies doing that.

100%, Rebuilt a friends Race spark not long ago, It was terrible. the way the headset is made makes it one of the worst headset routing setups ive delt with as it comes up through the spacers/stem aswell. Normal headset routing like found on the merida bikes is better BUT the whole thing would be easier if cable/hose housing wasnt so stiff.(my Merida one sixty FR is routed externally now.)
The hidden shock without any real cables is not bad... being so limited on shocks is a PIA though.(more for the genius and ransom)

Maybe you guys can talk in french then?
Reason 420 why we need gear boxes- we dont have to scroll past 10 pages of derailleur impressions
I was half right!!
Bruh shut up alreadly and post a tech rumor
Here’s a rumor I heard: sram and shimano said that you’re all going to ride singlespeeds until you learn to get along.

I just received an email from a local dealer about the Vorsprung Telum, only to notice that Vorsprung has already closed a round of pre-orders for it.

Edit: this was only meant to be an observation that the release had slipped under the radar (or perhaps only my radar?)
Would love the black spacer rings and adjuster as an option from sprindex. The red and grey just kinda looks ass on a lot of shocks.
It should just be the first production run they sold out. You should be able to pre-order the shock.
I have one on my Dreadnought V2 and it is.... Very good. Like.... holy shit is that shock good.

If you scroll a few pages back here I posted a screenshot
Update from the man riding the bike, might actually be an updated routing on the tyee 6
Looks like a Tyee for me. The Spindrift will be more voluminous.

At that price I'd be very surprised.
