All

I think one of these companies like Trek, Intense, Atherton, Santa Cruz, etc should post on this forum first. Maybe just a half hour or so before it goes public on main page here or PB. Show us some love for our commitment to the speculations and rumors. Clearly we are the deepest invested group of super fans to the brands, riders, and teams news. Return the love companies. Or at least make us feel special for just a few minutes.

DJ Brandt on Commencal! ---------------------------------------- DJ Brandt is one of the fastest growing names in freeride. From skateparks to Red Bull Rampage, he's a rider that can do it all. Residing in Colorado and spending much of his time in Utah, DJ has built himself numerous training grounds that have helped get him to where he is today. Coming fresh off an amazing 2018 season competing in many different style events such as Crankworx, Fest Series, Red Bull Rampage, and many more, we look forward to seeing what 2019 has in store. Welcome to the COMMENCAL family DJ! ---------------------------------------- [embed]...

Miranda Miller and Finn Isles on Iron Horse. Confirmed 100% true!

Best (or worst) prediction for 2019: Athertons on Marin Xquare one clone with Trust the DH prototype fork, the ugliest bike the world has ever seen, Gee and Rach win all races by margins even Vali cant reach in junior women, the world burns.

Mondraker. Laurie, Jones, Bulldog.

I don't give a damn about the bikes, I just want those elbow pads, that chest protector, and the sheer bravery to wear a half face like that

7 Speed (YES) 12 Speed (YES) Shimano MS (NO).

I wish I could claim exceptional powers of recollection, but I was just googling for reviews of the M29 after reading this thread and happened to recognize that photo in the Vital article.

Definitely both.

That's some serious detective work there!

Smashed it out of the water well done, i had a feeling it was sram as my XO groupset came with the same little yellow tag that can be seen under the emoji in the edited pic. Well played Intense haha

The derailleur is a SRAM X0. This pic was on Vital last February. https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/The-2019-Intense-M29-Carbon-Downhill-…
