If I'm not mistaken, a V10 carbon frame weight is 7.2 lbs with a coil shock, so it's lighter. It also has rearward travel built into its rear suspension, so that's not a new idea, just borrowed from Santa Cruz. Finally, Santa Cruz team finished 1st and 2nd in the last World Cup with 26" wheels, so 26" wheels are faster according to those facts.

No, actually, it was the weirdest thing. I left it alone for two seconds so that I could go put some comments up on some bike checks that I didn't like and when I went back to go check on my bike, the vivid air magically appeared like out of thin air. It was pretty amazing.

26" 1st and 2nd, how is that possible? I thought 27.5 rolled over everything way better and was suppose to be so much faster. Someone better tell all the manufacturers to put 26" back on the sales floor, they're better, again. Awesome looking bike too.

Game changer? Complete bikes with no dealer network, that are available exclusively through mail order? Sounds more like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist...

I have 33mm wide carbon AM rims and I run either a folding 2.5 Minion front and a 2.35 rear or 2.35 Nevigals front and rear. I run between 25-28lbs of pressure and that is on my 2013 Uzzi with 7" travel front and rear. I use it for AM/Freeriding/Parks, the occasional DH race, railing turns, berms, rock gardens, drops, jumps and I get no burping.

I cant see this working for the majority of MTB wheels.... Its great for an MX bike because their tires are so much thicker. But the average MTB tire is way to thin, you will still need sealant or you will be getting lots of flats. Also running your tires to low will just screw your rims up in no time at all. My current tubeless setup is fine. I can only see this working DH bikes where the tires are stronger and thicker. Happy to be proven wrong

Agreed, low psi tires often feel squirmy. I can't see dipping clear down to 14psi like they mention as the extreme, but something in the 18psi range could be interesting to try IF the inner chamber helps provide some support. Truly useful or just complicating things? We'll see...

14 PSI.........I won't need brakes, just roll to a stop in about 4 feet.

I like the idea, but eliminating rim damage is a tall claim. And personally, I don't like the feel of a low pressure tire squirming around underneath me in a turn. One looses the feel of the trail when the tire is all over the place. I remember at a Park City Norba race back in the 3.0 days overhearing an exasperated racer in the pits saying, "I increased my tire pressure from eight to twelve pounds and I still got a flat?"
