Looking at the comments of the post he says it’s a short shocked single crown dissent with a dropper and wide range drivetrain. Probably inspired the devs at NP and they’re just finishing up the real version

I feel like Jack is one of the younger fast and loose racers still. I'm sure he can find a room or van and rock it for the winter. As well narrowly not having a team this year may be pushing him to push his worth to Canyon for giving him the last minute shot. I'm stoked AF to see what he can do this year away from the Gwin-tense team that seemed to crush his spirit a bit last year.

I think someone mentioned something in the comments on one of his videos about him getting sick of the time it took and how it took away from his real career/schooling. Honestly don’t remember too well but I think he’s still alive and well

Hey does anyone know what happened to Jasper Penton? I remember he popped out of nowhere but now he seems to have gone missing? Does anyone know if he’s alright? I miss his steezy edits!!

Not technically new technology but here’s another brand selling the Mullet setup straight from the factory. Seems like it’s almost part for part the same bike that wyn and Martin are racing on
I ride a GT Force set up as a mullet and also have a GT Sensor which is a full 29er and find that the sensor is actually more fun on jumps. That said however, you mentioned wanting to feel more confident and the mullet definitely handles jumps a bit easier since that rear wheel never really interferes with body...

Every time I see KHS mentioned, I’m amazed they’re still around. Mainly because no bike pub covers them unless it’s related to a self-created video.

BTW, a message to the mods (if it's possible), drop the 2020 from the thread name and keep this thread rolling through eternity? We are well into MY2021 rumors, and it's just a PITA to run two threads, when to define the switchover point, etc. Why not just merge things? Smile

Even if they add 20-30mm on the reach in there they’re still missing 20-30mm to be considered modern. Treks bikes were the best in the business a few year ago but in 2016 they just got lazy and ceased to innovate which is exactly what geometry they still use. Seat tubes slack as hell and long as hell, head angles from the early 2000s and reach straight from 2014... no wonder their factory riders like Reece Wilson are 5ft 7in and on an XL with a +7mm reach adjustment Headset. Get with the times already. And wtf is that Color...

I can tell you in I've got 30 in boxes in the back and 20ish on the sales floor right now. So that not small numbers for sold bikes as far as intense goes. And they're selling. The Sniper T is pretty up to date in the downcountry world and selling well and we sold out of Primer S's a month ago. I think a lot of riders were disappointed by the new Primer geo, but I think they seem to appeal to a larger number of riders, not just the people on the bleeding edge of the sport that...

Intense are busy making prototype bikes for a market that is dead rather than a market that is thriving. Intense are dying, I predict 12 months until they need another cash injection.

It is definitely annoying when you work full time but see your competitors arriving to the venue a full 3-4 days ahead of you. Happened last year at the Burke Mtn ESC and was definitely annoying knowing my competition had been shuttle lapping the course on Tuesday when I showed up and had to climb them for practice on Saturday

Bulldog riding a DH bike hard enough to be testing and riding DH bikes is way cooler than the news of a new rig.

Not sure if anyone’s caught it yet, but Kona’s new enduro bike in on their website. The New “Process X” has 161mm rear, 170mm front with the ability to be full 29 or mullet thanks to an adjustable chainstay chip. Geo is more long and stable than playful from what I can gather (450mm cs length in long setting, 490...

Status is definitely interesting, I’m sure it will sell well but the sub $2000 references above are way off. In those photos, it has the same exact spec as the sj evo comp which is $3700.
