Ohlins should try that as they are no strangers to USD forks from Motorsports. It would be pretty cool seeing a classic Ohlins gold USD DH40 on Bruni's rig.

there was an ohlins dc proto floating about in 2015:

You’re not posting rumours.
You’re just gossiping and stirring. Either post something useful and insightful or don’t bother.
The “I’ve got a secret but I’m not telling anyone” is just a bit pathetic and more than childish.
It’s fine if you can’t say anything, but if that’s the case just be a adult and shush. This thread is clogged up enough as it is.
Lets face it, every major player is working on something so we can all post that quite easily!
Brother do you know what a rumour is? If I just tell everyone what brand is developing it or which riders will be running it this season it's not a rumour it's just a statement of fact. Keeping it vague enough for people to guess and put forward some theories as to who it could be is what makes it fun.

Here’s a rumour:
Fox and Rockshox are both working on something new.
Bravo kiddo
Let’s state the obvious. Is this really the level that we’ve sunk to now.
Also, you have to remember that development is secret and maybe he doesn't want to put that XXX brand is making a USD fork as they will know he is the one who leaked it, as potentially only a handful of people currently know.

Didn't Ohlins recently announce they weren't going to develop any new MTB products?
Hmm, I guess this isn't super clear though...
"During 2023 we reached our goal of a full MTB portfolio, from DH to XC. This means we are entering a new phase where we will be improving performance through a combination of running changes and new m.X versions.
When it comes to MTB racing, we’re not going anywhere, as it is the backbone of our innovation. We will remain involved with our partner teams in both Downhill and XC racing, and we look forward to the future seasons.
The decision to restructure platform development and distribution will not affect our existing product line, and our full range of MTB shocks and forks will be available in the market. Assistance with service, maintenance, and warranty claims will also continue as usual through our global network of authorized dealers and service centers."
Is the rumored USD fork a MTB fork or e-Moto? Is anyone paying attention to all the new players in the e-moto business and what impact it's having on the traditional moto and mtb/e-bike market. As a father of a teenage boy I'm constantly being informed about the all the new products. How about Sirris suspension, my son says rumor is former Fox and Ohlins employees. https://ridesirris.com/

Oh yeah the RS1. That thing was the most ridiculously flexy pile of poo!.... It deserved to die.
I probably service 1 of those a year, and one I did recently had done about 10,000k without a service and was in pretty damn good condition inside. The USD concept of keeping oil on the bushings is way more beneficial than people give it credit for.
Yes, and the relevance to MTB is the fact that the demand for 40/58's for e-moto's is significant and why haven't any of the established suspension companies pursued that market which at this point looks poised to dwarf the MTB DH fork market.

They have and do.
However the stigma of and use of those “throttle assisted” (not pedal assisted) ebikes means that they prefer not to shout about it.
Nothing to do with stigma. I just don’t think anyone’s 768 pages down this particular rabbit hole to get excited about whispers of a new e-moto...

Worked for a company selling a shit ton of brakes to Surron. They'd take the money, but did not shout about it considering the amount of chavs that bomb around on them balaclavad up and knicking purses in London.

Someone should tell Manitou how wrong it is for them to sell boatloads of Dorado's to Surron owners. I would be extremely surprised if they actually sold more to the MTB market at this point. A big suspension company would have to be pretty clueless to ignore the e-moto market at this point tbh.
To answer some of you : it's a dual crown, and it's not EXT or anyone else who currently makes a USD fork.
Ohlins should try that as they are no strangers to USD forks from Motorsports. It would be pretty cool seeing a classic Ohlins gold USD DH40 on Bruni's rig.
DVO? They don't make an USD fork, but they started off with one...
there was an ohlins dc proto floating about in 2015:

Maybe the rumor is that this new inverted fork will launch in 2025
Exactly this - not that complicated guys. You can all go back to chatting about bearings now.
Be nice.

Maybe the real Tech Rumors and Innovation were the friends we made along the way.
Didn't Rock Shox make an XCUSD fork a while ago? Perhaps they're using what they learned from that to move it into the DH market?
Oh yeah the RS1.

SC Syndicate testing with Massdampers. Maybe Fox is involved?

The one they habe mounted is definetly the countershox, but Fox is probably working on something their own
Fox working on a new Float X2 👀 post from frameworks racing
They are: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/a4/a9/35/94c7f935201795/US20240229892A1.pdf
Looks like they’re making room for a Neo battery.
Now that it’s no longer an anniversary year for fox can teams finally ditch those gold lowers?
It looks like they refined the air can to be a true hand grenade for when it does blow up. /s
