Yes the Tues is a few years old, but if you look at the geometry it's pretty much up to date, they are only lacking a mullet version.

Looks similar to what the Scott team did a year or two back on the Gambler; the axle path remains the same (assuming it's the same frame) but trying an idler to reduce kickback a bit

Those Tazer Ebikes sell like hotcakes out of the KTM shop local to me. I think they do a pretty good with those. Still irritated they decided to use that name…

I spent the last few months wrenching at regional NICA events. I had never seen a 951 anywhere, under any rider, until I started heading out to the high school races. I probably saw a good three or four dozen of those bikes over the course of a handful of races. I don’t know if that’s where most of their business is coming from, but it convinced me at least someone is buying those bikes.

In my humble unpolished opinion, snobbery is very often the source of dumb criticism. DVOs are more than fine, for their target. But bells and whistles are demanded by the ones who cannot differentiate LSC from HSC, or riding with wrong sag.. The DVO jade (original dh shock) its a fantastic piece of simplicity.

I'll get there. I had a priority list of things to tackle once I changed teams and getting my suspension completely dialled was more important than Flight Attendant.

You cannot polish a turd.

Isn't that the American way? Talk the talk, get the money, fuck everyone over and laugh all they way to the bank?

Singletrack may have just accidentally leaked a new DVO "Topaz X" with added LSC/HSC adjustment in their latest Topaz Gen 3 review: ​​​​​​ Did a little searching and here's a pic from Bikerumor (at Sedona last year) of a prototype DVO shock with the dual compression adjustment knob from the Jade coil shock:

I listened before reading the comment and got the same impression as y'all. Dak did amazing job of not throwing Intense under the bus...

If there was stress testing, they wouldn't need to change the rockers twice per weekend, and have a different looking one each event.......

They probably sell more bikes to the SoCal moto Bro's than other companies sell globally.

Listening to the most recent B-Podcast that just got posted... Sounds like Intense is once again screwing over it's race team by delivering updated/new bikes way too (late) close to the start of the season. You can tell Dakota is pissed but trying to hold back a bit to not ruffle feathers. Getting a new bike 4 weeks before the first race. Which has kept him from going overseas to race/prep/test (budget also an issue--but said it's pointless to do that until you have the bike you're racing).

the whole point of trunnion was to jam a big stroke shock in a little hole. sorry, I was meant to preface the post with "as an engineer (electrical)" as is customary in these situations.

The text with the image. "Proto V48 getting some trail time under our engineer Dan, who might not actually be an engineer because he never starts sentences with "As an engineer....". Standard eyelet and trunnion mount on the same reservoir bridge for testing. This is one part that will change significantly for production, to remove the redundant mounts, save weight, improve clearance and make it more aesthetically pleasing. We haven't gone that route yet because the machining setup required is significantly more complicated and not something we want to have to revise while we're still testing function and locking down...

Why not keep both an option? As fickle and tradey/swappy as people seem to be these days, why not have both options for easier resale. it's not that much extra weight. #onelesspart#
