Pretty sure those cranks say SRAM. So I'd assume it's the new SRAM thing.

New Adidas shoes, among other things...

It has already been on full display at sea otter europe as of a few days ago so, not much of a rumor any more

The DH is a Four bar linkage with two actuating links, not a Six bar in the sense of Commencal or Scott, where the extra arms define wheelpath. Obviously there's a lot more to linkages than 4 vs 6, and this new bike absolutely is not the "same" as the range, but they are both Four bar.

I'm with you on this. I always look at it like F1 is to the car industry. Some of that good tech eventually trickles into the grocery getters that I drive and I am better off for it. I like that some companies try crazy or impractical designs without considering cost. There are plenty of "dumbed" down DH bikes for people like me, but i do appreciate that there is super high end DH bikes that I can drool over and maybe ride in a parking lot someday. Also think I heard on a podcast onetime that the DH bikes...

I think you kind of nailed the point- DH bike development isn't for selling DH bikes but selling trail bikes. The R & D probably helps the whole line up of bikes, but it raises the brands profile so much it doesnt matter if they make the money back on DH bike sales or not. Despite the high prices it wouldnt surprise me if they still aren't hugely profitable at all

"From afar, the Team DH resembles the Range - the bike Norco used as a stepping stone to enter World Cup racing again. Norco appreciated the Range's rearward axle path, but the four-bar linkage limited how much travel was possible before the progression went above their desired levels. A high main pivot and idler wheel remain, but other than that, it's an entirely new linkage system." Range was a 4 bar, the Team DH is a 6 bar.

The UCI couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Fucking useless morons.

If the new Transition isn't spotted in the Santa Cruz parking lot, I'll be extremely disappointed..

Both Yeti DH and Atherton Gearbox should be released next year

That’s definitely not the case anymore. Affirm, Klarna, Shop Pay…buy now pay later brah!

They had to literally give the Gasgas bikes away and Trek is thinking it's the right move. Actually, I'm pretty sure Trek is just thinking "oh my goodness we're fucking broke and we need someone with pockets who will pay us right now or at least on 90 day terms". Personally, I think it's the wrong move and the wrong customer base. I don't see powersport dealers as a way to viably grow the sport or sell $12,500 Rails to the new "core" customer.

The pivot team has been ripping whistler laps and a few of them have custom lugged rear ends. It has a chainstay length flip chip built in - shown in middle setting here.
