I first thought trickstuff as well, machining looks very nice, and the color of the pads looks like trickstuff power.
But, there is a snapshot when he leans the bike over to the other side, and you can clearly see whatever Hope does when you can remove the pistons.
And the banjo fitting on the caliper is the same as Hope uses, different from trickstuff. Also there are some adjustor screws on the levers which looks like what Hope usually does

So im betting its some new updated hope version
Could make sense, in conjunction with the updated Hope master cylinder with a bleed screw on it recently.

they do have red pads tho, the classic trickstuff power pads, and it would be about time that trickstuff made something new, a way tom improve them even further could be by adding stiffness to the caliper making it one piece

Those are Galfer rotors. I’d assume Hope or Trickstuff would do development with their own rotors.

I love the fact the bike is so modern , new brakes in development, new belt drive frame, same 10+ year old 471's haha.
Definitely look like new Hopes, and as @Carraig042 mentioned it lines up with the new master cylinder we've seen.
What if Oak Components (also a German brand with simolar looking levers) is starting to make their own brake?
What about Galfer themselves? Wasn’t there a rumor they are prototyping their own brake? And while speaking about brakes, what happened to those Hayes proto calipers that were rumored to be a Dominion gen2? There was a photo of them and then nothing…

Yeah I was going to suggest Galfer also. I think there was also a photo circulating from them about a year ago of a proto caliper also in raw finish. I wonder if they go the Cascade Components route and do just the caliper at first, then work on lever second, or if they do a complete brake set.

Well I guess that's it. Maybe they just stripped the anodising off to not give it too much away. That team used third party products before, they were testing Vorsprung's Secus last off season.
RE Maurer's brakes: the star-shape cutout for the pistons is not something exclusive to Hope. The lever looks really similar in shape to the ones Oak Components sell. The Galfer caliper looked different (pics from 2023):
A really bad pic - But a bike reviewer posted some pics of his current test mule, and he had blurred out a seatpost and a drivetrain.
The seatpost was clearly the new Rockshox dropper, so I thought that the drivetrain might be something from srammers as well.
He had posted a very dark pic of the same bike just a few hours earlier. Which with a little bit of editing - Looks like this
Clearly a transmission-esque rear deraillieur, with a transmission casette. Front chainring looks different from any of the wireless models, and since there are two hoses/cables coming off his right side of the handlebar. Seems safe to say this is the non-wireless transmission being tested.
The pic that circulated the internet a few months ago - Can clearly see some similarities of the profile of the hanger part.
Might be closer than we think to the actual launch then. If reviewers already have them on testing.
Flight attendant launched with the Epic 8 on March 12th last year. They will probably bring updated colors out around the 1 year mark in a few weeks - Maybe we'll see another Rockshox/SRAM+Specialized collab, and the new S-works comes with the new dropper and the new Mineral oil brakes? And the lower tier models comes with this new wired transmission? Or is that too much tinfoil hat from me?
Not secret tech - possibly very useful tech? So this has been around for a year and they have just released external triggers for it - https://bybtech.it/product/chrono#content

Anyone thinking possible Brembo entrance into mtb, or too early for them to have something started by now?
Someone will be running the numbers 📈 I bet! They have a trials brake/clutch ATM, the caliper is 20% bigger than a maven size brake (260mm rotors). It’s an obvious move, but they would probably need OEM volume (Specialized?). Braketec offer a brake that would work currently and the trials guys are swapping to smaller aftermarket levers at the moment too. The use case scenarios are 30-40kg of a difference if your talking about e-bikes.

friends of mine are developing an vacuum bleeder for shocks and fork dampers to fully service your suspension at home, without the need of messy handbleeding.
I just got the chance to try the machine myself and it works pretty straight forward. I thought i spread the word in here because i think this is a pretty cool innovation in the mtb tech for home mechanics/ race day applications etc.

no idea what those are but looks interesting

Took me a bit to dig this up... Specialized patent drawing from late 2023.
Looks like they're continuing to iterate on this.

Hydraulic Bottomout Control?

The idler is moved forward on the version they build, probably to get it closer to the instant centre.

Galfer makes Hope's pads IIRC...
And to further muddy the waters, MTX makes aftermarket pads for Hope and their race compound pads are red...

Looks familiar 🤔

Has anyone used this device? The gps sample rate is 25 Hz compared to 1Hz of a Garmin/Iphone

15-year-old's journey into making his own full suspension frame
Maybe @carlinojoevideo ?
No I haven't used those BYB lap timers. The only one I've used it LitPro
Richie usually runs Ochain but this one looks different?
This is pretty amazing, love the innovation here.
Yeah I don't recognize that either. Might be an Ochain-like device, but it looks very "power meter" to me.
looks good !!!!! perhaps cause Im a coffeehead haha
