Dakota mentioned that he thinks he’s losing time in pedal sections on a heavy bike no matter how hard he is pushing. He said this bike, they are trying to make more well rounded. It’s a good podcast that talks a lot about the new bike.

On the vital podcast Dakota said the new race frame they were trying to reduce weight. He said the current bike was 41 or 43lb and they want to get to 38lb I believe he said?

I have to go back and listen to that Sexton interview! im at actually in the middle of testing 46mm offset clamps with +5mm reach headset vs stock reach and 51mm clamps. I won’t know for a few weeks because the parks are just about to open. This is on Supreme V5. There is also +3mm, middle and -3mm chainstay...

I was also surprised by 54mm but I’d hope they’d make all the sizes. Also we have no clue if the 54mm is what the team actually uses. Could be different between riders. I’m running 46mm with Ohlins and agreed, I like the stability and they feel more planted. I think it felt better on the Trek session, but now...

Talking about telemetry, motion instruments has a new enclosure, maybe packing more electrics? also a good look at the clamps in the new Boxxer. I wonder if the material is removed for weight or flex character, or both?

This is my sketching a while ago just coming to grips with how to determine the IC of a 6-bar layout. I'm not going near drawing the IC migration paths by hand for this monstrosity, I'd much prefer to program it out if I really had to.

Lots of great information and thoughts @Erwan, @shortestcharles ! I agree, there’s tons of factors that could cause this balance feel and no way to really pin point one. It’s just a similar feel that I’ve gotten on a few bikes that have a Virtual Pivot point vs the Trek session with a single pivot. All just speculation and nerding...

Interesting sketches! The biggest change could be that the new IC doesn’t migrate as much as the current V5. I was riding a Trek session all last season and have about a week on the V5. I think the Commencal is a nice refined version of the Session because it doesn’t most things a tad bit better… but one attribute...

I weight 180lb and find the 38 a much better fork. I think 38 is a great middle ground of stiffness and compliance. I think the extra stiffness also helps the fork perform better as it slides through the bushings.
