The latter sounds the most likely

The Druid V2, and Range are essentially just flipped Horst link bikes. Same same, just upside down...

Heres my take on it, if youre building a short travel bike, thats not intended primarily for XC riding/racing, a HP makes a tonne of sense. You still get the added benefit of a "platform" earlier in the travel, which can feel more sprightly and responsive, but with additional bump eating capabilities. Case in point would be the Forbiedden Druid past and present. There is a portion of riders who arent interested in the steepest and deepest, but still ride hard enough on chundery trails that this makes sense. It also allows you to more accurately separate braking and body...

New optic. Heard from my LBS that it and the incoming sight are HP.

2024 Instinct/Altitude seems to look like a Santa Cruz clone

If you look at damping force as felt at the wheel for a given vertical wheel speed at 0mm and 60mm, there is a 56% increase for the wreckoning and a 21% increase for the enduro. This is due to the majority of the progression on the wreckoning happening early in travel. Personally I think this is where progressive suspension designs get the reputation for being less predictable. When you have a large change in leverage ratio over a short amount of travel the bike will react very differently with pretty small changes in wheel position. A ton of progression...

Hall Lock lujah! Again, I'll see myself out.

Confirmed Guerilla Gravity is shutting down. A friend of mine just got this email from them this week.

That's the SL.

Cant wait to ride it.

Not necessarily a rumor (or even an innovation for that matter), but Dave Weagle's DW-Link patent is about to expire in the US.

Yo guys I'm real happy for you and Imma let you finish but DH tires on enduro bikes is one of the greatest combos of all time. Of all time!

I have no inside knowledge, but Im going with Gwin wanting him on the team because when he grows his hair long he looks like Western Jesus and that is comforting. ;-)

He's injured

Just because he doesn’t have a contract with intense at the moment doesn’t mean he can’t be resigned. But one would think dak has the results and media attention being the number one us guy to potentially sign with a bigger team that can pay him a much bigger salary. Gwin and intense stepped up to give him an opportunity to stay on the circuit with a high caliber team and its’s worked out for everyone involved. But it’s doubtful they have budget to pay what some other teams can in terms of salary. Whether it’s him moving onto be...
