Pinkbike did, they don’t work, and I might’ve gotten a dislike but there’s no way anyone can say the sram 90 and the x01/xx1 feel the same, sram themselves don’t believe so, it’s a fact, not an opinion
To be precise I was invited to a pre launch product demonstration/talk and they told me the 70 is like an SX and the 90 as a GX
To this statement I was pretty surprised as the perceived quality to me is more 70-> NX and 90 -> GX
And I was disappointed to know there’s no plan to get a Sram 110 or whatever higher end model
Thanx, your comments and the mention of the bike in the other site’s article got me out of wondering if I’m losing my mind just imagining seeing such a bike! 😂 Looks great, will be a pretty wild comparison with the Scor 6080. I can only see 1 downside for me: it ain’t a high-pivot! 😄
Is the SX/GX vs NX/GX comparison correct?
Not the same but it's not something that couldn't be solved with a problem solver? And don't know why a dislike, X01 and GX don't feel the same...
Here's a (what looks like to be) an alu capra Mule that Texi is on, it's a screen grab from a yt video.
Would love to continue this conversation here: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/drivetrain-talk
Lots of exciting drivetrain stuff coming out next month so we can totally nerd out.
So the rest of us don’t have to search:
I may have sat on this thing before. Couldn’t have told you a difference by the looks…
But there is a neat feature in there…
I mean ive not had a bunch of fox stuff but if they do a usd enduro fork with the dual air chamber thing and can stick to traditional 38 pricing i might be in for that.
Saw this on Pinkbike website Intends new ''OnePiece'' fork, Cornelius said on a video the pricing of this fork will be over €3000,-!!
Also Intend showed their brand new Hover Monocoque shock, the shock body is now a one piece construction.
Looks like Intend will also adding a dropper post to their line up soon.
Over €3000! This is getting more and more riduculous
It looks like they're using the seat stays from a sommet or vt-01
I'm also guessing it's basically the same as the gamux 4+2 bar proto spotted earlier this year, but low pivot flavoured. 4 Bars to have baked in anti-rise, anti-squat, and axle path, then 2 bars for leverage rate. They're getting very popular these days.
Dang i wonder if the steerer is part of the single piece too. Itd be solid.
So what exactly is that Umkehrshnackeln thingie Intend claims to have fixed in their shocks? How does it manifest itself in the shocks a regular joe gets?
I believe that he's talking about hysteresis.
38 is around 1700€ msrp in europe, i bet that USD fork will be at least 2k.
umkehr = reverse
schnackseln, bavarian for either a certain noise or fucking
It's related to piston direction change noise (compression/rebound/compression)
As in "I'd schnackseln them cheeks"?
Good eye, very much looks like the seat stay from the Sommet.
Thanx, wasn’t able to mount a screenshot of the bloody thing, not sure why!
Wonder why they aren’t going mid high- or even completely high-pivot with this, given that more and more brands go this route…
I'm sure it's mainly because with this setup, even if it's just for testing, they can re-use the Dissent main frame which simplifies things quite a lot.
Does anyone have any insider info on the Reserve DH rims with NAWA nanotubes that the syndicate race team were using? Wondering if/when they will use it in the production rims?
Last online article I can find mentioning them is from 2021 and they say that NAWA would eventually make it to the production rims.
Haven't heard anything about it since. Any rumours out there?
I’m having a hard time zooming in enough, but I spy a sign on the top tube, right behind the headtube - I read “DRT”, but not sure. No idea if it means something or not…
Reserve quietly released the new version of their DH rims... no mention of NAWA.
https://reservewheels.com/products/30-dh
Yeah... I know that. I have been checking the website.
They haven't mentioned NAWA for a few years now, hence me asking here if anyone knows much.
May be they decided to ditch the concept cause improvements could have been small, yet the price would have been too increased…

Lots of Intend goodness on these pics, but these pedals caught my eye. Intend flats anyone?!…
