Gravity is my sport too man. Not trying to bash you. EWS pits are devoid of revenue opportunities for the event organizers. Couple hundred bros trackside isn't profit for a promoter. Local tourism bureau is about the only group who sees potential income improvement from hosting these things. They tie up a vast amount of land, require tons of volunteer & staff to function & nobody buying pit space is making a profit either. https://youtu.be/MclbQl9mGiM?si=XpU3-ZhMN0Un8Li6 I want you guys to succeed as much as the next fanboi. But the people needing to justify the budgets aren't being impressed. Maybe it...

2026 Unno Mith with DJI Avinox drive system. They're hiding the motor area in all of their pictures, but the top tube display is DJI.

New XTR is in the also in the Video from FOX Orbea Factory Team tests the New 34 SL at 1:12 min. Also the new brake levers are in there sometimes

Seems like several bikes with the new DJI motor have been spotted recently... Announcements coming soon? Sea Otter? Notably in the Fezz(ari) team press release today, that new Timp peak looks like the DJI motor/display to me?

Cero also did frame design for Orbea and Mondraker among others Unno was/is his own brand, and that DH bike you linked is already pretty old at this point

That looks very much like a Cero (Cesar Rojo) design to me

you can literally see where it was stitched together in photoshop

I've had a few new fox products, including the one released today, in my hands over the last few weeks and while I'm not a fox fan boy, the feel and look of the new 34SL, - Redacted- and - Redacted- are certainly a bump up from the previous gen. It'll be interesting to see how they review. The 34SL is stupid light in your hand.

Word from a lot of media is that the next 30~ days are going to be busy on this thread. Happy spring/sea otter season to all those who celebrate the relentless innovation we all don't really need!

Skid meter. High score wins.

I would guess a load cell / strain gauge setup to measure braking force separate from fluid pressure. More reactive as brake force changes with brake pressure and wheel location. Could be just to monitor rider input could also be to measure how different kinematics effect brake force and suspension travel.

Looks more like a test rig for frame fatigue/strength?

Y’all are absurd with your warranty demands. I’ve destroyed a lot of wheels in my 25+ years of riding. It’s NEVER been the wheel’s fault. Worked in shops for a long time - can count on one hand the number of times a whee was destroyed because of a rim defect. Was a carbon wheel holdout until this year, got some WA1s. Third ride out, got off line at warp speed and double flatted, multiple holes in both tires, needed 6 plugs and a bacon strip to patch it. Surely would have at least flat spotted alloy wheels, but not...

The Vorsprung shock is somewhat similar to a CC Double Barrel in that they are both twin tube designs like Ohlins pioneered. The Telum has the most interesting design out of the bunch with a solid main piston and very unique means of adjusting the compression and rebound damping curves. It wins "showroom feel" as well, I have never felt a shock so supple and smooth. Perhaps a twin tube shootout with Cane Creek, Ohlins, Fox DHX2, and Telum? We're just getting started, big plans for the future. 👍

I could never do secret product testing, the urge to nerd out would overpower any NDA I was made to sign. xD

Definitely trying to get a slice of that "i need a full power full suspension bike path basher but can't be trusted to brake or shift on my own" pie. Would look sweet on the new Rail.

wonder if it'd be worth renting a car from jan to march and just living at TOTW parking lot to snag shots of stuff being tested?

There's a carve-out for anyone the UCI deems worthy; riders granted entry at the "... discretion of the UCI and WBD Sports, considering factors such as UCI team rankings and the profiles of their individual athletes."
