Could be the wireless dropper that Kazimer mentioned is coming from an existing dropper manufacturer? One that has its battery/actuation at the bottom of the post?
I have noticed this graphic on the RS shock on an updated (color, spec wise) Smuggler. I have never seen it before, but it might be nothing. Seems like Transition updated a few bikes with new colors and spec, including Vivid shock on the Patrol.

The white band at the bottom of the piggy denotes D1 (new piston and rebound check plate), although the graphics seem to be specced/custom for this bike.

bike yoke has a wireless dropper in the pipeline, pretty sure kaz meant this one.

I feel like a big driving force behind a lot of the branded suspension designs was the FSR/Horst Link patent closing off the use of the best layout to other brands; now that protection has gone a lot of brands have adopted that layout. It would not surprise me if more brands move towards the classic 4-bar layout as it's a versatile solution. Not sure if Santa Cruz will be rolling this out over the whole range just yet.
That has already happened. Scott and Transition went 4 bar to name two (there are others I can't remember right now) while YT and Canyon expanded into the North American market after the patent ran out.

Yep, plus Marin and several others. Wonder if we will end up with this being the dominant design across the whole industry.

Got to ride my countershox today for the first time:
There‘s definitely a noticeable change in how the front end rides and tracks, not comparable to anything I could achieve with suspension setup or something else. The front wheel is in contact with the ground a lot more times and it takes the harsh impact out of big compressions.
Only did a couple runs but keen to try it more over full days when arm pump becomes an issue.
I want to try to make a mount for the rear swingarm to try how it feels on the unsprung mass (like mondraker are running theirs but I can see them having a very different unit developed specifically for that).
The front end does feel a bit harder to lift just because of the added weight. (mostly because of the already really heavy dorado fork).

I feel like PNW is due a new post of some sort.
Im hoping its an electronic dropper to stick it to fox and RS
I guess? The disco ball emoji is a good hint…

New pivot is looking almost done - no longer lugged

Openly shown on WynTV. Neko explains it.
remember that Boss came out with new suspension the other day? well it seems like they want to make brakes as well

get back a couple pages, full review is already in the enduro mtb app… launch should be in october.
It's completely silver. The stanchion and body are both polished silver.

This brake was posted in that post as well.
and the name of the company was spelled right. how can you fuck up the spelling of a 3 letter company name?
Lots of details pics from a leak a couple of pages back
MXification (something @jeff.brines already talked about I think) of bikes as in "looks like a session" might just become the norm.
BOS S(uspension)… no need to get rude…
The Vala would also be the first time Santa Cruz use a trunion shock ?
not noticing the auto correct on the phone, i bet you're always right on everything aren't you.

Best Of Suspension Suspension?
That‘s what their homepage name says 😉
i don‘t use auto correct so, yes
the new hightower and bronson also use trunnion shocks now
Dorado is heavy???🤣 How weak are you?
Heavier* 300g more than fox + 500g Countershox + 1500g front tire makes for a burly front end.
No? The mount is just sunken into the frame.
my mistake then, thought they used trunnion for the new bikes
