Almost everyone was rumored to be going to the Syndicate at some point in this thread.. I think I'm about the only person who wasn't rumored as going to the Syndicate..

Here's the official announcement, Commencal/Muc-Off moves to FOX (and picks up DHaRCO gear too): https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/The-Fox-Is-Out-Of-The-Bag-C…

pretty sure he‘s trolling and just recycling that can. :D

I wish I could give you more than one downvote

I know these have popped up on the gear rumor forums before. Anyone hearing any new rumblings about the e13 Grapplers?.... Looks to be an intermediate knob design similar to Assegai/Mary/Hellkat.

Where would the fun be without PB

Logo sneak peek on the seat collar gives me Kona vibes.

Damn good eye right there. What’s interesting is that the Kona EWS team bikes all ran Diety parts, including seat collars.

He is posting old pics. Pretty sure this is the 2016 prototype Socom that Palmer rode in Southridge.

That would make a lot of sense and it would be rad to see him on a slayer (I ride a 2020 slayer). But I wonder if after the recalls they had on their trail bikes last year, the rocky RF enduro team and all the free riders they sponsor (vanderham, Simmons, storch) do they have the money to bring in another big name?

Devil's advocate again, as I've mentioned, bikes have gotten longer because for a given top tube (cockpit) length at a steeper seat tube angle, the reach (and overall bike) length will get longer. So I'd actually argue that the main reason and benefit of longer reach bikes is actually in the climbing performance. But not because of their length, because of the seat tube angle with the length being a byproduct. Oh, maybe to add a negative of longer bikes, with the seat tube angles getting steeper, the seat does get in the way more as you're centered over the...

I’m 5 9. Slack seattubes were never an issue for me in terms of climbing position. I do wish the stand over numbers were better however and a steeper seat tube allows for a bit more clearance with the seat and tire when suspension is bottomed out. The ultra low stand over is the missing component of transition’s sbg geo that most companies haven’t adopted. And is actually the one I liked the most when I rode the current patrol. The next patrol will be my next bike whether it’s this year or next that I can afford it. The...

My previous gen Hightower has a 65 mm stem and is up forked. It feels extremely similar to the current gen Hightower when riding straight lines. I prefer how my bike corners in flat corners. I prefer how my bike climbs. But once you get descending on a actual bike trail the new one feels better. Especially if it’s steep or rough or riding platform pedals. The recent sb115 vs spur does a pretty good job of Highlighting the pros and cons of modern geo. I think more conservative numbers are really great if you don’t have a lot of...

Awesome friend i cant wait to get the Sensor out on the trails!
