"Enduro" is dead, time to dust off "All Mountain".

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.

Sounds like a Demo launch.

One of the reviews that came out yesterday (I can't remember which) talked to the product manager and asked about the Vivid and his answer was basically they wanted to differentiate the lower spec builds from the higher spec builds which have a coil and the Vivid would blur those lines too much.

New Epic 9 will be crazy light in S Works guise. No 32", no swat box. Very racy--Not sure about trims and rollout availability. Product cycle on the Epic 8 (spring 2024) does seem a little short. Perhaps they decided to release early based on 32" future XC bikes?

The claw posted a clear photo of his new bike. Looks like a mid-pivot version of the previous gen Altitude.

It looks like the old GX AXS. Maybe a few tweaks, but it really doesn't seem like a lot of this is new (save shifters to get the style of 70/90). The simplifying legacy stuff does make sense, though. But, I also agree that it is sad they won't make nicer shifters than 90 for S200 for mechanical.

I'm equal parts bummed and intrigued by the new/revamped eagle lineup. On one hand, SX/NX can die in a fire, and their death is just as exciting to me as new product is in certain ways. On the other, X01 eagle was probably the best all around drivetrain as a package over any other I've ever used. Each component of that drivetrain was stellar; cassette, chain, derailleur and shifter. That being said, while I still have a bike in the garage with that setup... I wouldn't be selecting it as a new build. I guess in that case, it makes...

Stocking up on XX1 chains. Really unhappy with the new SRAM offerings. Next bike might be Shimano. Edit: shoot - are people unhappy with me because I'm not wild about the latest SRAM drivetrain components replacing Eagle, or because I suggested moving from one "S" company to the other?

If the XX1 chains go away, this is super bad news. I assume S200 will be at the shitty GX level, if that. Edit: looks like there is still the S500 chain that replaces the old XX1. The S200 chain is crap, as is SRAM's replacement matrix.

You know aside from the carbon, the shock layout, the yoke, the tube diameter, the paint work, the branding, the build, it's pretty much a knolly.
