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?

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.

Not a gear box. You can see the derailleur in the shadow. Sad. I dont care what anyone says, the gearbox hype is like drivetrains moving to 1 by 10/11/12. Sure at first it was janky 1x10 One Up conversion kits. But now we have transmission. Which is cool. But what would be cool is better gearboxes.

Grip X seems pretty widely accepted as a dud of a product. I don't know anyone who's bought one (maybe a sign right there). The red site guys talked about Grip X on their review of the new Ripmo a few months ago, saying it compromised the bike.

I got a Gripx damper for my 34 to swap out from my Grip2 since they were selling them for a firesale. Everything I've seen/read seem to imply that it's a pretty solid damper for a 120 fork. Why anyone would want it for anything longer than like 120-130 is beyond me.
I'll report back when I get to ride.... months from now.

I can see that. Based on what I read, when updating my fork from a Grip 2, the Grip X was not even on my radar. Only a couple rides (in the bitter cold) and the Grip X2 is feeling nice.

That shifting existed pre-UDH and the vast majority of the UDH bikes still uses cable-actuated shifting, so this doesn't compute.
It was less so about specifically having electronic shifting. More about a direct mounting rear derailleur. Any brand can license the UDH hanger (maybe not other drivetrain manufacturers) so their frame can fit both standard drivetrains but also this direct mounting wonder drivetrain that Transmission is stated as being.
I feel like there's been a bunch of speculation already, but looks like WAO officially confirmed they're no longer making Arrival's. On the other site, the Kamloops Trails Fundraiser, WAO makes it clear that the Arrival they are giving away is the last one they ever made.

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...

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

It's the brake hose guide that catches my eye. Anyone know the manufacturer?
Good watch. Charlie Murray bike check. Stumpjumper 15 with vivid lyrik and brake ace sensors.
Vivid coil seems interesting on the bike.

I think it’s just a generic moto hose guide.

I think the big news is Downamics is the official UK agent for countershox.
Oh and the brake setup is a carbon tube and a crf hose guide. I asked 😅

The looks will take some time to grow on you imo…and some might mistaken your forks for one from Manitou
Bikes that now have heavier, more expensive wireless shifting, that not everyone wants.
