Looking at the fork, the bike is deep in compression, which accentuates the low slung look. I know it isn’t, but the mulletness looks extra in that screengrab — like a 26”rear. Would be Jaromir Jagr level power mullet.

The Orbea Looks to me like it has a concentric rear axle (like Trek's split pivot). To me it does not look like it has any vertical brace like some 6-bars bikes do.

Here's a better angle. Definitely split pivot, and the chainstay bolts directly to the main frame. Screenshot 2025-03-24-10-54-54-906 com.instagram.android 0.jpg?VersionId=UcvsY7Screenshot 2025-03-24-10-54-06-159 com.instagram.android

We get it, nothing new, Orbea has been using split pivot for years.

That looks very much like a Cero (Cesar Rojo) design to me

Cero also did frame design for Orbea and Mondraker among others


Unno was/is his own brand, and that DH bike you linked is already pretty old at this point

Are you implying the Unno founder with working with Orbea? Because that bike has orbea branding on the wrap.

The pale red site has a big Niner ad on the home page.

New batch of bikes? Trying to clear out the remaining stock before closing up shop?

This make me laught, you are right in that it doesn't seem to be the real bike, but I've seen way worst mockups in printed catalog "photos". We care too much about this very not important stuff.

Seems like several bikes with the new DJI motor have been spotted recently... Announcements coming soon? Sea Otter? Notably in the Fezz(ari) team press release today, that new Timp peak looks like the DJI motor/display to me?

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.

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.
