More of the new “X2”
It looks too skinny, I'm not sure I like the aesthetics of this one.
Genie style air can fitted to x2?

Gee teasing a S model dh bike.
Maybe they’ll add some ano bits that you can match to your seatpost clamp, headset, and hubs. Who cares about improved performance?
I believe Specialized has the "exclusive rights" for the genie system for a few years.
Aren't Neko/Frameworks on friendly terms, like, Specialized is their e-bike sponsor level of friendly terms? Wouldn't be surprised if Specialized gave them the OK for testing and racing on Genie (if that is Genie) so long as it never showed up on a customer bike.
Word on the street is the new X2 is going horizontal in all but DH sizes...
Don't know what you mean by horizontal?
The piggy back will have a similar layout to the one on Öhlins TTX22
Maybe perpendicular
Any ideas?
Average MTB Enjoyer indeed.
Nice Bronson, and with 160mm cranks! 😍 Too bad someone decided not to put a coiler on it. 😭
PS: why are we excited about the packaging of the shock internals?
Tuned Mass Damper.
Kaos on the new Orbea DH bike
already been posted 2 pages back, looks more like a rallon with DC fort… DH bike has a vertical shock.
They wanted to built a new Freeride rig as well.
No, Pinion was started by two ex Porsche engineers.
Can't wait to spend another $1000 in tools just because they decided to change a bolt pattern or a diameter somewhere for no reason.
Well, from what I've seen, the bottom of it looks suspiciously BB-tool shaped. Hopefully you're in luck.
Shocks and forks? Or just shocks
Yes, I know 😀, I meant about the possible big news...
From Tahnee's insta:
feels like the bike's coming soon...
is the mechanic wearing a paper bag!?
Wide brim boonie style hat and looking down.
Definitely shocks, not totally sure about forks. Sorry should have made that more clear
Can't remember where I heard/saw it but someone was talking about how Fox was scrambling a bit after the lackluster launch of the Grip X damper...
I could see them updating the airspring/chassis for the next model, hard to see them launching a new damper so soon considering how long the GRIP2 stuck around for.
