The reach numbers are long, I'm 5'10" on a medium g1 and have slowly moved from a 40mm stem to a zero offset stem. Only a handful of rides on the zero offset but it's got me in a much better position to move that big plank around.
Because of the higher position of the bars I was really comfortable on the climbs which translated to less fatigue and on descents was able to weight the front or pull back and ride the middle of the sled.
It's a tuner for sure but some like that. Throw in the ability to run modified travel from trail to DH and adjust the geometry on a stable platform with incredible build quality and I've just written copy for them.
It was an interesting bike in that it pushed the trends of the time to their limits.
As time has gone on, the ideal has been seen as a long wheelbase, high stack, and much shorter reach. It lets you stay relatively centered in a strong position, and makes the wheelbase feel smaller than it actually is. I tried that same g1 with the original bmb rrs, which improved it a lot, but damn it was ugly 😂. And still a bit long on wheelbase. But that bike deserves a lot of credit for pushing geo ahead.

Watching quarterhp demo 11 review and Henry brought up a good point. Have to think Specialized has plans to use Highgear for the next enduro. Could it be a vertical shock with highgear? Anyone with insight?
Can Ari just take the damn diaper off? It’s been cringe for a brand like Ari from the start. It was fine for a brand like Orbea because we were genuinely interested in the brand and wanted to see what they’d do with a DH bike. (and they did indeed deliver!)

In this case he is on a re-branded competitors bike and the cover is an attempt to obscure that.
But yes, on the actual prototype, they should definitely remove it. Copying Diamondback’s homework from nearly 20 years ago doesn’t need hiding.
It is (if someone from Devinci sees this, I accidently found an unlisted page, I dont know if someone oopsied so I am not going to share the link/s) Spring 2027 was the date

What’s that mounted to the accessory mount on Richie’s bike?
Multitool?
weird, my sources were saying new Enduro this spring
Prolly gps or r something to track your ride without having a stupid ah screen on your top tube or even worse your stem
its a OneUp EDC tool in a 3d printed mount
I think yall are underestimating how much easier planned obscelence is with electronics
Seems like Ari is moving onto a High Pivot suspension layout. could be equipped with a concentric rear-axle pivot or drop outs.![]()

Ari isn’t moving away from knucklebox. Your eyes don’t deceive you either.
Aiden on a new intense? Hopefully the return of the uzzi is near

Thought so too when I was watching, then I remembered this post.
Or it's just a re-branded Session?

New from one up or another company?

Finally!!
It looks very human
