On the Propain Website you can already spec the Enduro Supersoft Contis, haven‘t seen that elsewhere.

Maybe Cam can replace the current Elite Female racer on Pivot🤣

Here is the full statement from Dorval: DORVAL AM COMMENCAL TEAM STATEMENT AUGUST 21ST 2024 After 11 successful years racing DH all over the world, it’s time to pull the curtain on this amazing adventure for the Dorval AM racing team. Claude Pierré started the team in 2013 with the idea to help bring young riders to the races. One of them was Benoit. There was very little hopes and budget, and they had to fight to make the team what it is today. Allowing us to race full seasons. A decade later, we’ve proudly been at the top of...

We can finally buy a $15k Pivot......rejoice!

"Sorry guys, can't ride, I forgot to charge the battery for my shock fan on my new Gambler."

Review is up on OUR site!!! 😘

on the other site, they posted an interview with Bryn Atkinson and this quote from Shimano product manager for mtb drivetrain Nick Murdick: " I actually think that probably most mountain bikers don't want electronic shifting on their bike today. And I think that making a solid XT mechanical group is one of the most important things for us to get right in the coming years." also basically confirmed that new saint is still in the works.

Just been to meribel where specialized gravity were parked up with Finn riding a bike with a cover on again when i passed by mechanics covered it up. Looked like it had extra chainrings. No photos dead phine

100% Agree. Imagine walking into your local bike shop wanting to update your aging mondraker enduro bike. - Hello, I'm looking for a new enduro bike. - Ah yes, take a look at this Foxy. - No, sorry I must not have been clear, I want an enduro bike, like 160mm of travel, not a trail bike. -Foxy it is! Oh well, we call it the superfoxy now and it is 170/160mm. -Oh ok, sorry I didn't keep up with the name changes, but can I still get a Dune? -Of course sir, right this way, 170/165mm hard hitter, beautiful...

I would add that part of this is also that the major evolution in the last 2-3 years have been in ebikes, which this forum is relatively hostile towards. Generalization and hyperbole incoming: take a 2021 ebike and compare it to it's 2024/5 variant, it will look better, have better geo, better integration, more range, more power, lighter... Take a 2021 MTB and compare it to its 2024/2025 variant, it's the same bike but with headset routing, no rear derailleur routing and maybe some minor reworking of front and rear lengths or suspension curves barely anyone can feel.

Big legged bird that returns from the ashes?

There is a new DH bike still to drop this season. Everything isn't dried up just yet.

I'll be that guy and repost from the other site. Anyone have any idea what this is?

it's here- @TEAMROBOT's ochain vs no chain feature is live. please discuss it on that review page instead of clogging up tech rumors. charlie rules! https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/can-pedal-kickback-denier-see-light charlie's alternative seinfeld-inspired thumbnail

I'm kind of surprised no one mentioned new Firebird. Yeah it has sharper edges and a different headtube style than the current Pivots, but the flip chip on the swingarm is almost identical to the current firebird. Plus the overall suspension layout is really similar to the previous firebird. Also, the current Pivot shock layout is a bit limiting for ebikes, hence the angled shock on the Shuttle LT. This layout leaves tons of space for motors and batteries.

my guess is if yeti really wanted to go away from the switch-infinity link they would change to their already existing sixfinity system from the ebike and DH-proto. seems to work really well and doesn‘t need a fox branded part.

The cable ports have the same style to them, a bolt in plastic chip with a neck/stem to guide the cable out. The linkage hardware looks similar too. Dimensions are close. It has a flip chip which I think you cannot do with the switch infinity link if Im not mistaken. I also think its a Yeti because I could see them wanting to get away from the switch infinity linkage. My view is that if you want to make your bikes less expensive, getting sram/rockshox on oem is an advantage. But I could definitely see Rockshox not wanting to...

I saw them at park city a few weeks ago. One of the pivot owners. Must have been escaping the AZ heat. He said no plans to commercialize the carbon lugged mule, it’s just for prototyping (sad!). Apparently costs like 22k per frame or something crazy. Looks amazing in person. Had a 38 and an X2, no high pivot, had what looked like shortish chain stays and didn’t appear super slacked out, but tough to say for sure.
