Ten years ago, I would have agreed. I don’t anymore. We’ve talked about this a lot in this thread, but bike design, and engineering more broadly, has become increasingly commoditized. Amflow’s bikes are not good just because the motor is good. They are good because we already know what works. Geometry is free, and there is not much left to protect on the kinematics side. I'm not saying there is no gains left to be had, but draw the line. Rate of change matters. They made a bike that is good for most riders, and if they want to go...

Sounds like someone is getting SLAPPED with a lawsuit.

New motor is much wider and doesn't retrofit into todays M1/M2 frames so that's probably not the case.

Without looking at any numbers for it, I'd assume the link primarily gets used to control leverage curve and the dog bone primarily gets used to correct geo. You may very well have combos where the alterations to the link would produce undesirable geo on their own so a dog bone has to be used with it to get the geo right.

I wish it was something that made sense to do. The reality is there aren't that many DH bikes out there. To be able to distribute the development costs enough to have a reasonably priced product we'd need pretty much everyone who owns a new Demo to buy something. It would be a fun project no doubt though.

Your questions answered! Thanks everyone who asked a question. We did our best to get them all answered, and Specialized was pretty transparent in their response. And oh yeah, the bike rips 🤤 Enjoy!

Sleeper goods coming in hot! Can't decide if the boosting or the scrubbing is the sickest...we're picking both!
