We have been bracing for a carbon fiber ban for 10 years or so and I am confident that the big players have contingency plans in place, but I for one would be psyched on a flax bike!

Flax might be fine for the cosmetical fibrous stuff (like non-functioning diffusers on 'sporty' road cars) but can't really be used for structural stuff, at least not alone.

Isn't that the air assisted coil shock they showed off not too long ago?

So it's Eurobike that is the reason for 4 fork launches in a single day?

So an all new brand out of Cali launching at Eurobike with a bunch of new products.  Frame, shock, fork, pedals, etc.  They are an offshoot of Tilta which make camera stabilization equipment.  Additive manufacturing, Pinion gearbox, all the things.

The linkage being zip tied to the seat tube does not inspire confidence that this bike actually works.
