Oh thats great news!

Maxxis also saying goodbye to Dak. Is Scott on Schwalbe?

tech rumors forum update - you've spoken and have been heard we'll lock out this thread at the end of the year (no matter what, it's just too darn big now), and will carry on with yearly tech rumors threads that will be stickied for easy participation. the 2026 thread is already underway here (not yet stickied) i just want to thank everyone for their feedback and insight on what this piece of the vital community means.

It's already been covered actually. A while ago in fact. It's a 4-bar modification to the Dissent using the original front triangle.

Anyone with a CNC could make a Gamux Sego too if they REALLY wanted to

Pantone 144c New logo is shit though.
