The last image in the press release article on Vital looks like it is the temporary Bosch display with the LED's, same that the Transition Regulator has. Touchscreens will be shipping at a later date. I wonder how easy it will be for people at home to swap it in?
If it is anything like replacing the TQ screen it takes about 3 min and zero skill. I would be surprised if it is much different.
New XTR is in the also in the Video from FOX Orbea Factory Team tests the New 34 SL at 1:12 min.
Also the new brake levers are in there sometimes
new e-bike vom unno incoming… without cable tourism!!
Probably the DJI one? Did they delete this post?
Seat tube tourism!
Haven’t seen this yet, but Matt Beers’ cape epic bike has srams’ mineral oil “motive” brakes on it.
2026 Unno Mith with DJI Avinox drive system.
They're hiding the motor area in all of their pictures, but the top tube display is DJI.
My buddy who works at the local specialized dealer couldn’t hang this weekend because he to build a bunch of new e-bikes…
The revised version of an old enduro classic will be released next wednesday… just in time for the EDR kicking off in 2 months time.
Hahahaha the red and green sites are gonna hate them I just know it.
New pictures of the 2026 Fox 36.
Crankbrothers did a really quiet launch of their new handguards. Not much to them except they have a version that mounts onto your grip lockring.

Not that quiet

not gonna lie they look slick
like this arch more than the round one on the previous gen but it might just be new and shiny syndrome
The black/kash is sexy, the orange from the front is giving jack-o-lantern (jack-o-stanchion?) vibes.
Wonder what these threaded bosses are for? Different mudguard?
What is the purpose of these holes?
The 36 shares similar design cues to the 34 SL, especially on the arch. Fox claims an additional 17% torsional stiffness due to this arch design on the 34 SL - will the new 36 see an increase in stiffness as well? It's already a fairly stiff fork for most users/applications.
2026 regular 36 looks to be 200mm rotor minimum too
Hopefully it's 200mm not 203mm.
it is 200mm
how did everyone miss the most important release of the year!?

That would be good, using the bleeder screws was a stoooooooopid idea!
