Can we make a list?

Forbidden Druid V3 - minor updates (tire spacing, headtube angle) - 75% chance

Banshee Bikes lineup - minor/major updates (dropouts, seat tube) - 75% chance

Transition Bikes lineup - major updates (suspension platform) - 90% chance

Ibis HD6 (and Ripmo) - minor/major updates (dropouts, geo) - 75%(50%) chance

Yeti ST - major updates (sus platform, geo) - 50% chance

Santa Cruz Megatower - minor updates (geo, suspension tune) - 90% chance

Santa Cruz 5010 - major updates (sus platform) - 25% chance

Specialized Enduro - major updates (sus platform) - 35% chance

Trek Top Fuel - major updates (geo, sus tune) - 50% chance

Trek Fuel - minor updates (to visually/hardwear align with Ex relaunch ) - 75% chance

Whats missing?

There was a post here that a Forbidden bike (non-motorized) was spotted with the vertical shock / HP layout that their ebikes have, getting rid of the tunnel.  I could see that.  I'm over shock tunnels personally, make setting rebound a PITA and limit dropper insertion.

I'd bet $3.50 forbidden moves to the ebike suspension layout for druid/dread going forward.
 

What update are you expecting from transition? I'd be a bit surprised to see they move away from the horst link. That said i have zero insider knowledge.

There is a significant change in suspension platform for a number of Transition bikes.

Traditionally the Genius has followed the Spark by a year.  Scott probably can't afford to waste any time undoing the damage, either.

Come on 5010. I need you. I don't even care if you're not VPP.
