All

A LOT less steezy. Plenty of fast guys and guys with tricks but arguably none do it smoother than those 2. Also no JG course previews?? They should bring him in the booth.

Internal stuff is scarier but it will probably take longer to come back from knee surgery.

Dan Booker?

Seems to be a Production Privée frame. I also think he shared something about PP on an IG story recently...

Nigel Page got a new frame and hopefully fresh backing of what he does. He has posted about receiving all sort of goods lately.

Calling it now, its going to be an Intense clone (mid high pivot, faux-6 bar suspension) except for the ABP instead of a true Horst link.

New session in the works. Screen grabs from team video. Looks like some kind of stiffness around seat tube/BB area. Maybe frame enclosure around shock for lateral stiffness? Chainstay, seatstay look the same.

To talk brakes: https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/nerding-out-brakes-shall-we-not-ano… enough said here

pretty sure there must be a thread regarding brakes… back to rumors please!

https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/sram-maven-reviewsexperiences#comme… There's a Maven forum. Petition to rename it "Brake Lever Tech Rumors and Innovation" I was hoping the Devinci release would be a new Troy but based on their teaser saying "getting more power, getting more trails etc" sounds like another eeb

Is there a brake forum? This is a weekly occurrence at this point.

I've had almost all of them with ride time and the Trickstuff has a lot of similarities with Hope, the quality is just slightly more refined and better, but not by much. They also ditch DOT, which I know some people care more about than others, although it's a big issue in the US where Bionol is nearly impossible to find. I tripped over my bottle and nearly lost half of it, which made for a rough moment and a few bad words. I also feel at the price point they should include bleed tools, Intend does and IMO there...

i'm certainly curious as to how the various metrics were factored and weighted in the final assessment. one feature only the dominion's have is the alignment set screws on the calipers ("crosshair"). for how long these brakes have been on the market i'm astonished that nobody has copied it yet.

for how old the current saint models are now that may have been considered elder abuse

That is not the new Stumpy. It's going to lose the side arm like the current version. Like the Levo SL, which is basically the new Stumpjumper. Specialized is in a bind with the Stumpjumper EVO as they still have more stock to clear out, which is why the new model has been done and not released for over a year.

Sram has Black Box, Propain has Hot Box..

Vorsprung released their first coil shock with some unique features that sets it apart from the rest of the shocks out there. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-vorsprungs-new-tellum-coil-sho…

Flight attendants on zeb and coil

Continental finally releasing soft compound in trail casing. Hopefully super soft in enduro casing is also on the menu.

" EASIER SERVICEABILITY SYSTEM The innovative construction of the 240 DEG hub allows bearing replacement without special tools." Finally!!
