Yeah, like, how can you even ride a bike with 11 speed?

What isn't very clear in any of these images I realize is that there is a huge space in front of the bottom bracket for any mud or water to fall out... much like on the Legend. I've been riding versions for nearly three years in Scotland... Trust me, mud is not my friend, but not had any issue with it.

I had a '14 Rune that kept for three years riding it 3-4X+ a week. The only thing I ever had to do with it was swap the bearings out (easy). It was bombproof.

Actually the deeper insertion means that the saddle can drop about 5mm lower on the V3 than the V2 small for same dropper length.

Small rune V3's ST is 10mm longer, but thats in order to fit more seatpost in. it actually allows you to run most modern 150mm dropper post lower than the V2 due to max insertion length.

Ouch, the geo hasn't changed much if you size down. This shock location offers superior performance... (Trust me I would not have released it if it didn't!) in a stronger package with lower center of gravity, there really is no area where the performance does not improve. If your reasoning is purely due to aesthetic reasons liking horizontal shock, then fair enough, that will always come down to personal preference... but these bikes look so much better in real life than in photos. I'd appreciate it if wait until you have read some reviews and had a test ride before...

On that note, stoked to see u guys making a 26” option. Not everyone wants or needs a 29er. 26 just works better for us vertically challenged riders.

100%. Shorter offset forks help too. There is a magic ratio out there that'll get the rider close to being balanced on the bike. I'm so surprised no manufacturer has really picked up on this and reconfigured their entire lineup around this style of geometry.

We tested RS and FOX back to back and honestly, we much preferred the FOX... price is higher for the fox which has been biggest driver in overall price... oh and the fact that price now includes a pre-installed quality fully sealed headset.

Glad you have seen beyond the marketing of short chainstays. It's all about balance... if you want a balanced bike with long reach, you need longer chainstays.

6/19/2019 6:49am That’s because they don’t have a choice. When the manufacturers don’t make any other options, that’s what everyone is stuck with.

I wouldn't mind 26er with a current geo. Everyone is talking about 29er as being fantastic, which it is possible for very tall riders (over 1m90 I'd say) but not bringing much for other riders. Skills is the real differenciator, then geo, tyres, suspension quality and then wheel size maybe. At the park on a straight line fire road my 27.5 DH bike rolls faster than my friends' 29ers so the famous faster rolling thing depends on many more things that rim diameter itself. I bet a 26er with current geo would probably do as well as any other wheel...

By “special “ I assume u mean the fugly bright colors. Acording to the article, those are not available until 2020. They are available now in a much better black or gray. See quote from the article below. “For those looking for something with a little more pop, the brighter colorway of our test sample will be available in 2020 – in the meantime you’ll have to make do with one of two much stealthier options that will look right at home anywhere from Starbucks to the Savoy Grill.”

Definitely the 38’s. They’re better all around. More volume, less air pressure, more traction, wider footprint, better sidewall support etc.

I'd kill for a 27.5" DH bike these days. I'm stuck at 26" for life....?

Yup, can confirm I get way more trail maintenance done with my E-bike: you get to ride so many more descents, so it isn't as frustrating "wasting" ride time on trail maintenance. And you can easily carry a bigger pack with more tools, further. These bikes are not just for lazy rich people, some of us just want to save time, get more done and drive a whole lot less...
