In which case all the comments and titles of “Two Shocks” would be inaccurate. Technically still only one shock “ie shock absorber” and a spring. Our common thought of what a Mtb shock is, has just been broken into two separate parts. They could add ... more »

Looks like a couple varieties of air shock being played with also. Curious to see where this goes. Wonder if there’s any damping going on in the upper “shock?” as well or if it’s purely spring. Can we still call it a shock if it’s not handling damping

Two divorced parents taking their anger out on the kids. Why the fuck are riders being punished for this?

Still looks to me like like a standard shock. Rocker pivots and pushes back down on it. I think his leg is hiding the upper and lower mounting points for the other shocks mounting bracket. Think they just left a standard damper with no spring on it in

Aesthetically, shock in downtube looks so much better. Possible twin damper setup is interesting, but seems so unnecessary now a days. Looking at other pics floating around, it’s hard to tell if the upper shock has a reservoir. Would make sense for the ... more »

Added a comment about press release DEITY Launches Full 35mm Carbon and Aluminum Handlebar Line
Because the OE spec on many bikes now is 35mm. Gives Deity more access to OE market and allows consumers with 35mm OE spec to choose Deity bars as a replacement option.
They’ve been vocal about not being fans of 35mm and wanting to take their time to get it right instead of just releasing another 35mm option that’s too stiff. Their 31.8 components are not being replaced or phased out.

Shhh, don’t tell Neko Mulally. He seems to like the combo in certain situations. Mainly steeps over the back wheel.

Temp and pressure sensors most likely. Seen on a few other bikes, namely Danny’s if I recall correctly
Added reply in a thread Is Trek hinting at a natural fiber construction? (EDIT: Nope, it's WaveCel helmet technology)
Curious to see how strong flax can be in this situation. Looks like Porsche is using it for non structural parts such as panels and wings. It’s been used in the ski industry as a “more eco friendly” version of fiberglass. Never heard anything about the ... more »

Evoc bike bag as a replacement for a bike box is an incredible idea. Obviously some of the cost of this will be passed on to the consumer, but it's a very nice touch.
Bike geo is very with the times, would love to test that linkage set up.

That's the plan, Roots. The wheelset I have built and ready already has an xd driver so I'll throw a gx cassette on there because why pay for a $120 project321 standard driver just to be able to run a boat anchor cassette, would rather drop $200 on a gx cassette right out of the gate....more

Totally unrelated, but I just realized how positive of an environment the vital comments section usually is. I wonder why that is..sure would make social medias more fun if it were more often like this.

Nx sentinel is a killer deal. I would recommend saving up a few bucks and finding an xd driver or wheelset (atleast rear wheel) with an xd driver and getting a gx cassette for it. That nx cassette is a boat anchor

Does the actuator at the bottom of the post still require the hosing to move like the previous generation? (Previous generation doesn't work well (or really at all) with the new lower link SantaCruz frames)
