The serial number on the pic can be read as "1270890-0002-T" which translates to Description: Bomber Z2, 29in, Marzocchi, 130, RAIL 2.0, Sweep-Adj, Shiny Blk, Neutral/Gloss Blk Logo, 15QRx110, 1.5 T, 58HT, 44mm Rake, YG, AM I suppose the lowers might be from something else.

Just got through the Spot podcast and... Am I the only one that heard more or less an hour of serving koolaid?

Every time I hear sixfinity

Linkage driven 4bar. For a 5bar you also need a flex pivot for it to actually move in space.

Haha, yeah that was me! I saw it again two weeks ago, it was full of telemetry devices this time. I asked when it was coming out and the guy tried to tell me it was a Pivot this time 'round. Can't imagine how it doesn't get released later this summer/fall as a '27 model considering how tidy it currently looks and the fact they are riding it at high noon on the most popular trail network in the Golden. Might need to just post up in the bushes with a camera next time...

When everyone knows new bikes are to be tested in Transition's parking lot

Love the photo dump format. The pictures are also nicely crisp and detailed. Thanks Vital team. (Please bring back the background music haha).

And Lars did mention that he feels he rides heavier on his feet than most.. Personal preference and riding styles will always be a couple of variables that they can't always design for..

If we didn't overreact on the internet, does the product even exist? It's our version of "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" 🤣

😁 Indeed some proper bump stops would be a very good tuning option! Fox air shocks started coming with "real" bumpers a few years ago but they are very soft and not that effective IMO. Fluid Focus make aftermarket bumper which work very well, and I don't know the real reason air shocks only used an o-ring but I guess it was to make it possible to use every last mm of travel.....a nicely progressive bump stop gives a "bottomless" feel but your o-ring probably won't reach the last 2-3mm which consumers will always complain about sadly. Air springs would...

Fluid Focus make air shock bumpers that double as volume reducers.

Amen to this. Seems like they made a great bike for it's intended use, I'm sure they will sell a bunch of them and the owners will enjoy riding them. If it ain't the bike for you, there will be another bike out there that suits you better.

You have to remember the true target market of this bike....if you really need that much extra resistance then a Tallboy is the wrong bike for you, full stop. The forum guys wanting to run a coil shock are a niche of a niche type of mountain biker so they aren't going to design the bike with that in mind. I also don't think its that far off, and they maybe chose to ship it with that shock spec so people can easily remove the spacers if that need to. And plenty of people have run coil shocks in bikes...

Super weird that it took him that long to admit it was a mistake, and only in the comments, and still doesn't seem to have an actual number for the RMU. Someone who remembers better than I do probably knows more, but his practice of patenting something and then throwing out lawsuits at seemingly every non DW bike has been called into question.

The accountants

Need more time and to swap out some parts to give a good answer. Honestly right now it feels like I'm mostly demoing the DD tires so far, because those are the most noticeable difference in the ride feel between the new Nomad and my personal bike. Need to get some control tires on there for comparison. So far 85% of what I feel on the trail feels like it's just the current suspension setup or the tires. The other 15% is contact points (saddle shape and position, bar sweep, grips, Q-factor, etc).
