Dear community, any info on when the new Trek Slash will be released? It looked very production-ready to me in the latest spy shots…

So what’s so state-of-the-art that they kept it under wraps for so much time?

Isn’t he refering to the new, unreleased model that he can’t talk about? May be RM decided to separate the 2 models further apart for the new gen. Smile My guess is they’re going HP for the enduro model and non-HP for the trail/AM model, kinda like Norco. More and more HP enduro bikes show up, with not so extreme high pivots, so may be that’s the golden point. I keep wondering what the HP Slash will be like detail-wise, cause i’m getting a lot of Chainsaw vibes from its pics till now.

They are not using the same frame, it's not even close. I don't think it's ground breaking, others are doing it, but it's certainly not what I expected and a huge departure from the current model and the rest of the line as a whole. No idea on the embargo date yet.

I just saw the new Altitude and I wish I could say more but I cant. All I will say is I was shock in the direction they have gone in a good way. It'll be a very interesting bike and I haven't seen a correct rumor about it yet. Stay thirsty my friends.....

there were already pictures posted of these upcoming brakes being bled which pretty much confirmed they‘re mineral oil.

I saw this yellow GT with the same sticker on the bar. I think it looked more like an angry sheep than a goat. The stem had some writing on it too.

Looks like Pinkbike racing team to me (Conti tires+ Manitou), so testing proto reserve wheels ? I'm wondering what would be the updates on those.

Thanks for the compliments but we all know you're not just 'some guy', and I'm just a bike nerd like the rest. What you are saying makes sense. All I really have is a lot of ride time on the new Transmission, as well as the older AXS on some of my other bikes. All I said was the electronics help when the derailleur will shift. It doesn't 'sense' this, it just has a map of all the of ramps in the cassette. So it knows the gear you are in, which way you have shifted, and roughly how long...

Hey Jesse, I know you're a trained engineer and you're probably smarter than me and work for SRAM and I'm just some guy, but I've read that the SRAM Transmission does not use electronics to sense the shift gates in the cassette in order to sync the derailleur movements to match in time. Instead, the shift movement of the derailleur cage is instantaneous when you hit the button, and the delay you observe is from the chain waiting for a shift gate in the cassette to travel through the gate and change gears. The pronounced shift gates in the cassette...

Makes total sense. Every argument I've read saying why it needs to be electronic to work properly doesn't really make sense when there's potential to sell a lot and take advantage of the mounting.

SRAM is killing the high end componentry right now in terms of sales, but Shimano is winning in every cat XT and below.. SX Transmission is inevitable.
