New bar or just new graphic?
I did hear Steve Mathes mention on one of his shows recently some new Renthal MTB product was coming so I’m thinking this is something new.

Ha, my Dad worked for one of the companies that first bought these into the UK back in the 1970's, I believe one of their first uses here was in aquariums (assuming it's a liquid crystal type).
I'm guessing these are the chemical ones as they sty coloured after they hit the temperature, so the mechanic doesn't have to charge over and snatch the bike to take the reading before it turns white again.
Also yes it's obviously the new brembo brake for specialized.

I’m trying to decide what to get to long-shock my sentinel and there seems to be quite a few new products that offer a custom tuned shock for only a little more than a Vivid/DHX2.
I'm getting the new VTX in for testing shortly on my Megatower. Currently on the Vorsprung Telum. Excited to compare both against my stock SDLX Ultimate with HBO, which is a great shock in its own right.

I'm really excited for the XTR embargo to be over so I can get more miles in on the new not-a-clutch clutch mechanism on my primary bike. Very curious how it will affect suspension feel to have spring force instead of friction controlling the cage on my long travel bike with relatively high anti-squat.

Are we now in a place where Shimano is sitting on the patents for an adjustable clutch? Shimano going this new direction and SRAM still cannot make their clutch adjustable (or has given up on figuring out a way around the patents)? Or am I confused and just spouting forum half-truths?

Should be interesting with the claimed 74%(?) increase in chain force, that is significant.
I feel the Shimano adjustable clutch system is currently the best option out there.
Transmission derailleurs aren’t cheap either, xo is 800 and XX is 950. Shimano pricing is on par with high end sram. It is also back compatible with existing chain and cassette. Transmission made it so you had to buy all new pieces when it was released.

When folx get accustomed to a certain doodad being on all of their other doodads, the absence of such can be a bit traumatizing.

but you can't really compare wireless xtr to transmission, it's more like eagle axs and that was also compatible with existing 12 speed. shimano is 6 years late if we're being honest.
XO is way beyond XT and closer to XTR , GX is more compareable to XT from my experience.
Yeah, can't agree with that at all. I work on these things all the time and GX quality is wayyyy lower than XT in my experience. I'll add that the new Shimano stuff is totally comparable to Transmission, which is just the latest iteration of SRAM's wireless drivetrain. Curious why you think it isn't. Because it doesn't require a proprietary frame standard to attach the derailleur?

Maybe Manitou will finally launch a coil shock but it's not yet ready hence the frame sock.

Affect. Something affects something else and the result is the effect (of it). Effectively.
Is it ehffect in Canada?
Yes, but grammatically it covers both here.
Remy seems to be using a protoptype Time DH pedal. From 5:46 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsmLolvB3mw
Is that not just the new Xysto that I believe he helped develop?
She's a looker!
Not gonna lie this leak got me excited
New Evil bike for sure, no idea what model it could be
It has frame storage, bolts are different
Looks like the flip chip design has 2 big bolts rather than the 3 smaller ones it had before
Can’t wait to see what they’ve done!

New Wrecker?

gracey's norco has a new rear end. 1kg lighter than alloy

I'm a little surprised at the cost of the new Shimano drivetrain.
I would consider it to replace my XO1 AXS shifter and derailleur (and move that to another bike) that I've been running with an XT chain and cassette.
Almost $1,000 for shifter and derailleur is higher than I was expecting.
I'm never going to be able to buy this f*cking bike, am I?

maybe they got one step closer with a carbon stay ? looks like they are working in the right direction and slowly making improvements
I'll be interested to see how the XT pricing compares. We'll know soon enough and it's a more comparable kit to X0.
Do we know when XT will be announced?
When folx get accustomed to a certain doodad being on all of their other doodads, the absence of such can be a bit traumatizing.
Now THAT is some optimism!

I think last time it took about a year?

It'll be much, much sooner than that.
