They'd better be able to pack good value into the builds, they paid for 4/5ths of the tooling and all the R&D years ago. This bike has been available since Fall 2019, yes, it remains excellent, no, consumers should not be paying a premium for it. Edit: the fact that the value of the Comp is actually pretty good is indeed surprising.

Supposedly when it comes to designing bikes with Dave and one of his linkages it's the complete package and how the rider experiences the bike that is the main benefit, not just the marketing related to the link. Supposedly Dave has characteristics figured out to give a complete package to the brand, not just the suspension pivot points.

I prefer the Crab Link. It’s the future obviously. DW spins up designs all the time, and to me they all come across as a good marketing campaign to sell more design. Everything DW is always “better”, and DW is dogmatic that every new product is better than the Crab Link (Horst). Yawn. I like to believe that we’ve finally hit an era in biking where a good design isn’t limited to the patent you hold or the design you licensed. Lots of smart people out there.

Meh, delta link is just linkage ratio manipulation through the dual link system. It created a well crafted LR and progression that was better than most when it came out. Lots of bikes have identical or similar to LR curves now a days. Otherwise it was a single pivot, with inherent design compromises that came from the pivot location. There is a reason his newer systems use dual links, being able to tailor the AS and AR separate from the wheel path, at least IMO as an mech engineer… FWIW: I’ve never spoken to him, it’s just my opinion based...

He had that mule last year, too, didn’t he? (judged events don’t belong in mountain biking)

I think its custom made just for him. They call it the Trek Sesh. I think i remember seeing a bit of a bike check on it.

Anyone else notice the bike Semenuk rode in rampage wasn’t just a gen 5 slash? Looks nice IMO

I kick off the superboost comments, it can indeed without a doubt, F off.

I bought a Sovereign (it was terrible).

Well, Dave Weagle started both initially before selling them off.

According to Dave Weagle they changed the name because Santa Cruz couldn’t spec them on their team bikes with the EVIL logo. Have a listen to Nigel Page’s “Stay on Your Bike” podcast with him. It’s a good listen

Relating to WAO : back in the day when Evil bikes started making a chainguide and other components, they created the e.thirteen brand to separate that business from their bike line. Probably to mitigate the aftermarket issue WAO is dealing with.

Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot!

$400 million seems kinda cheap when you consider Rad Power is reportedly worth $1.4 billion.

Im under the assumption that you do work for PUSH, and if so I want to say I appreciate you contributing to the forum. It is really cool to see the insights of companies through those that actually built or worked on developing the products. A lot more comforting too. In all honesty, Im broke and I just downgraded to a Chromag hardtail (Actually an upgrade in some aspects), but your comment alone really makes me reevaluate PUSH as a company in a good way. Not rehashing the same products as everyone else. I think thats cool. But thank you...

I like how you interprete that as boxxer needing more care than fox 40, when both have comparable service intervals. Let's turn it around, what if most 40 owners cannot be bothered to service their gear? Because you know, Kashima is self lubricating 🙄

Fox. Creates larger air chamber. Fills it with grease. Benefits negated.
