"Side entry battery" on the new Levo - Does this mean that it has a removable battery?
Would be ideal to me, since those full power e-bikes are just above the weight limit of what my bikerack holds (is probably OK, but dumb to take any chances) - And I store the bikes in a cold shed all winter, and its not very fun bringing an several month unwashed bike indoors to charge it in winter. Removable battery would be perfect for both those reasons

I mean... the current Levo battery is removable with a 6mm allen in about 30 seconds... a quicker system would be nice but I wouldn't call it not removable as-is.

Why would you trade a 200 OneUp for a 175 mm Reverb? It makes no sense to me that losing 2.5 cm of drop, having a battery I can hit my knees on, and spending $$$ is worth getting rid of a cable.
Don’t forget heavier. Subjectively, much uglier too.

The better feature for you sounds like it will be the new charger. Pull your battery and put it on 80% mode for the winter. Giant has been including that feature in their admittedly flawed chargers for quite some time.
SC Syndicate on IG testing a new air spring for the Fox 40, I would guess this has the same changes as seen on the 36 and 36SL to prevent binding under side loading. Likely coming to the 38 in the near future also.

Isn't the 38 air assembly floating in some way or another already?
German website mtb-news.de postet about the new YT development team today and there is some mysterious blacked out suspension on some of the bikes. Ich you look closely you can see it's not only the fork but also the shock. Any ideas what it might be?

Looks the same as the current one just with a different lower plate assembly, possibly shorter to give a larger negative volume.

Bike on the left, fork and damper.
Your URL hackery is weak, son.
I have no single idea what the shock could be. Fast? Chickadee? A non-shit x-fusion?

I looked at ohlins thinking that it might be it, but I thought the arch was different! Good catch
Almost certain that isn't an Ohlins. The crown machining and shape don't match. There are no negative surface cuts at the arch or the axle like an Ohlins. Look at the top caps/adjusters. Nothing looks similar to anything from the major players. Potentially a new lower casting, maybe a new fork from FAST?
Highlights - Wireless, integrates with AXS ecosystem - New 'air-over-air' design - New 'ActiveRide' built-in compliance - Two-bolt saddle clamp for round/oval rails - Uses same AXS battery, charger, and controller - Travel options: 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm, 225mm, and 250mm - Seatpost diameter: 30.9mm, 31.6mm, 34.9mm - MSRP: $ 549 // € 600* // £ 535* // AU$ 945* (*includes VAT)
I've only got 3 rides in on the post ~5hrs ride time. It works great, as it should at the beginning of its life. A few things that have stood out: - I was reminded how fast the post extends compared to cable droppers. Feels like a pro or con depending on how often you like riding at half-mast, as it can be tough to not get punched by your saddle when trying to stop it from extending. - There is zero side-to-side play. - I ride flats with my feet tight to my cranks and my legs are size medium-large knee pad. The inside of my knee/thigh have occasionally bumped the new battery location. Not really an issue, but something that didn't happen with the previous Reverb - The 'ActiveRide' feature, where the post has ~10mm of travel when not fully extended, has been useless on an acoustic bike. Not that it's bad, I've just not had a use for it. I played around with pedaling a flat dirt road with the post halfway up (or down?) and it did add some comfort. About as much comfort as you get going from riding with your shock locked out to open. It made me wish there was a way to engage the feature with the post fully extended, such as holding the controller longer. I think I'd use that for chattery, fast climbs when you want a little bit more cushion but need to get full pedal strokes. - It's still expensive, but it is cheaper than before. The obvious benefits for me are that it cleans up your cockpit, it's easy to install, and you don't have a cable or housing that wears out over time/needs replacing every so often. However, I still think I'd buy a cheaper mechanical dropper and save my money for other components. You know, like one of those 3D printed Specialized saddles
C’mon! They went for it on taking the ActiveRide joke and they get no love for it?? Disappoint.
Vanderham news prompted me to head over to the Transition site and check on the TR11. Sure enough, "Full refresh coming this May".
I bet they only ordered like 400 at most so definitely jump on the “dh” trail bike with 41% progression if you want to ride actual dh buy anything else

I did find it odd that the article said what is he going to choose for his big bike, patrol or spire, and then seeing the TR11 refresh.
Looks like a Canyon

need more coffee Jason ? The link is for the Hunt alloy enduro v3 wheelset

HAHA just proof that no one clicks links or reads press releases 😂 I updated the link. I think its time for a beer today!

Problem is nitrogen isn't all that inert...

Rear shock looks a lot like a fast with different anno. Those fork lowers look super familiar too, but I can't place it.
Fork lowers look very similar to Ohlins to me, especially the dual pinch bolt setup and overall design.
Good eyes. DH fork could get the next updates given the m3 launch of the rfx36 earlier this year

Maybe a new stemtee shock is people remember that one from Alex fayolles bike 😲 its certainly unique looking
Saw the new XTR wireless in person on a bike. Rdr is a lot bigger than cabled, maybe even a tad bigger than transmission. Looks sleek tho.
Shifter is also bigger than the sram pods, ergonomics like a normal cable shifter.
