It looks like a trp before it hits the lathe and has all the extra material taken off to give it some style. It's just machine billet at this point.

Wow I've never considered an Ari until that new Timp Peak. Nice to see an ebike being sold as a frame, even if it is expensive, but transferrable lifetime warranty?! (this is a first for a DTC brand to do lifetime warranty at all right?) Also, 600wh or 800wh battery that can be swapped or range extended, so all of us should be happy in some configuration. Vertical mount crab link without trunion. It would be really hard to buy a Vala or a Regulator over this if you can come to grips with owning an Ari.

"Side entry battery" on the new Levo - Does this mean that it has a removable battery? Would be ideal to me, since those full power e-bikes are just above the weight limit of what my bikerack holds (is probably OK, but dumb to take any chances) - And I store the bikes in a cold shed all winter, and its not very fun bringing an several month unwashed bike indoors to charge it in winter. Removable battery would be perfect for both those reasons

It works great, as it should at the beginning of its life. A few things that have stood...

This is a wild guess, but I've been looking at the chart on the website and I think that the 237mm stack height you're referencing on 175mm drop posts might be referring to the entire top of the seatpost, not just the "collar to saddle rail" stack height that we're used to measuring. For instance, I'm looking at the 250mm seatpost and the total post length is listed as 652.8mm, the minimum exposed height is 314.2mm, and the maximum frame insertion is listed as 338.6mm. 314.2mm exposed height + 338.6 frame insertion = 652.8mm, which is the entire length of...

What do you mean baby a long travel rig? Have you seen what material gravity race bikes have been made from for the last........10 years? I've seen more catastrophically broken alloy bikes in that time, and Pivot/Santa Cruz customers just plain don't want Aluminium anyway

Pivot dropped a video on YouTube.

Geo looks pretty solid to me, I like the XL with the 445 stays (low bb mx wheels)

And yet entirely in keeping with the overall industry ethos. My biggest initial reservation on ebikes was around their potential implications for access. Rules vary a lot and in their quest for sales I can't recall any company providing any sort of guidance on potential "ethics". I recall one manufacturer taking a fleet of Ebikes on a dealer demo past a "no motors" sign in Whistler..... The implication that users will self police themselves is naive at best and disingenuous at worst...

New 38 is coming and it will be USD

Keeps you from breaking frames from repeated bottoming. If I was an OEM I'd be interested in HBO to cut down on warranties, particularly on aluminum frames with lifetime warranty.

HBO is a nice "safety" feature - you can make a good shock without it so I'm not sure if its a deal breaker but I would definitely prefer HBO than externally adjustable High speed rebound.

The only hint I've seen is on the mud guard page, it shows the current version is for 2025 and earlier. https://ridefox.com/products/fox-fork-mud-guard?variant=47160513200352

After that many years and issues on the same platform, it would have been a good time to rename the Float X2 to Float X3 to try to differentiate it from the unreliable last version 😅

Anyone else feel like no HBO is a huge miss? After spending some time on it, it’s basically a mandatory feature for me now.

Moving the battery up is a pretty stupid thing to do, i hope they put it as low as possible and take advantage of it entering the frame from the side, to give access to the storage compartment.
