4/16/2025 11:21am A Chainstay with flip chips for length and headset with reach adjust cups would help riders dial these in I reckon.

Hi! This is my first post on this thread, but I have been reading for 2 years now. I talked with Sam pilgrim and a few other canyon guys at Tennessee Nationals, and also got to swing a leg over the Production New canyon sender. Supposedly the bike was supposed to release April 12 (that’s what Sam said, he also verified that it was the production version he was riding) so there’s a chance maybe it is releasing this month still? His bike had a baby blue color with white canyon letters. The (production?) bike also was equipped with the...

Back when I was young and much faster, in 2011 when short chainstays were all the rage, I had the gen 2 Coilair Magic link. It had like 470mm chainstays or something (thats really long for a 26" bike from 15 years ago). I was faster on it for my local DH track that had lots of steep, loose shale where the 3 min DH segment had average speeds above 25 mph. It was faster for me than my DH bike at the time, despite the Kona having some really crappy tires on it. However, that same Kona was noticeably...

4/11/2025 10:12am Starting between 60-80, but without a measuring tape, some callipers and the bike in hand I'm afraid it's just my guess. I keep churning results of about 40-50% progression out which can't be right either.

4/11/2025 9:39am Sure does! I think one of the interesting things they have done is replace whatever chainring they would have, with a small one that is free to spin on the crank axle or chainring interface, and it serves as the lower tensioner.

4/11/2025 9:30am Here is what I drew up, it has a pretty high anti-rise, axle path is rearwards for around 2/3rds of the travel. all the fun stuff

4/11/2025 8:32am I agree, there were rumours that the demo was getting close to production, then this mid pivot one with 2 chainz and a whole suite of gizmos crops up to make things really interesting.

4/11/2025 8:29am That fork coating is reminiscent of the older rockshox 26in models. What is it? I forgot if it was Titanium Nitride or something else.

4/10/2025 2:04pm It's not even like proportional centres are hard. You only need to move the BB forwards or backwards on the front triangle. No need to make different rear ends. Companies are just banging out bikes that ride completely different depending on the size you buy, cause the ratios are all off.

4/10/2025 10:26am Let's be real, there's only so many ways to package a VPP. They're bound to look like at least one other bike.

Looks like they fixed all the non sense Brian Cahal pointed out in his review. Actually quite surprising how terribly designed that bike was knowing it was coming from Cero. This one looks way more dialed!

You can get a student version of Ansys Workbench for free with a University email. Definite learning curve with the software, but it’s probably the best FEA program out.

4/9/2025 6:29am Splendid. I like the look of the lugs! I'm designing something similar for a uni project. I don't have access to FEA at the moment though. What diameters and wall thicknesses did you choose for the tubes?
