may have to slap that new damper on mine!

SRAM: We'll make a part diameter 29.99 but our MSRPs completely random numbers like $1,107.

Hydraulic BO on the coil is sick, Nice thick shaft, HBO, Simple but effective damping.... daddy like. Love a thick shaft...wait what

We may be small compared to our big corporate peers, but we've proven time and time again an uncanny ability to strategize synergistic solutions into seamless ROI streams that converge into deliverables for visionary, blockchain-backed value-oriented stakeholders and iterate turn-key, scalable interfaces to drive benchmark results in dynamic markets. But, truly, thanks.

Seems like we're at the point where DH bikes (frame companies) might need to come up with their own under-belly protection... more like a dirt bike or something where you've got a symmetric skid pan under the bb/chain area. Run the heavy skidpan setup if you need it (WC DH). Otherwise keep the ISCG05 if you want lighter more minimal protection. Longer/lower/slacker all hurt ground clearance and breakover angle... It's asking a lot of 3x M4 bolts to keep the driveline protected at 30mph.

A box of new industry standards?

It's so interesting the Pike has gone from a 160 fork to a 120 fork over the years, while the fuel ex has gone from a 110ish bike to the a 150 bike 😂

New Trek Fuel EX for 2023: Full-suspension all-mountain bike 29" wheels 140mm rear 150mm front (160mm fork compatible) 65° HTA 480mm reach in size L 76° effective STA 6 different frame sizes MinoLink flip-chip (+/- 0.5° adjustment) Knock block 2.0 (optional) 55mm chainline Alloy and carbon frame options Thru Shaft shock optional No more RE:aktiv valving Downtube storage I could only get German prices and pricing structure apparently isn't final: Alloy options starting at around 2600€ Carbon options starting at around 4500€ No surprises here. Basically exactly what you'd expect from an updated Fuel EX in 2022. EDIT: Bike is...

All I know is the pizza stays warmer longer if you don't leave the box open like an animal

3 years out of stock apparently....

While I agree with you, we are probably not the target that Scott is aiming for. Scott is the only bike brand whose customer consider that having 2 extra levers on their handlebar to lock out a big rig on the fly is a great thing. So having cables hidden away and "sleek" design is probably up there too in their requests. Some of us live and die by "form over function", some by the opposite. And if you ride your bike 5 times a year and send it to the shop to re-tighten a spoke, why would you care...

The bike is anything but outdated, it's more of an all-mountain bike than a big enduro bike. There's the dreadnought if you want something really more aggressive
