I've done some more extensive photo enhancement on that photo Jesse posted, and there's absolutely no argument as to where he's going. This is 120% concrete, congrats on the new ride Jesse!!!

Listen to the first 15min of the new Making up the Numbers podcast and its stated as a "rumor" by Emily Siegenthaler. I'd think she would have a bit more insight than most people on here but def not confirmed. https://singletrackworld.com/2022/10/old-hand-and-young-buck-greg-minna… They also mention several other potential moves but pretty sure they have all been mentioned earlier in this thread.

Winter testing = still on the team. That's my assumption at least

all - cut the petty ebike/non-ebike bullshit in here. battle all you want in a diff thread. if it's not a legit discussion about the bikes or the tech, beat it to somewhere else.

This thread is for tech rumors and news. How you feel about your ebike is neither. Feel free to have that conversation anywhere else.

Take the e-bike argument elsewhere. It's detracting from this thread.

Can you take the eeb discussion to the "I'm a lazy shit, but exactly how much of a lazy shit?" thread?

Ibis eeb

Looks similar to the the NAILD R3act suspension once used by Polygon and Marin.

I'm not in the market for an E-bike, but I appreciate that Ibis is going in the opposite direction of most e-bike manufacturers nowadays. Someone at a design meeting must have said "F*ck making it look like a regular bike, let's make it look like a futuristic space motorcycle!"

The rocky team also has had a buddy/good times vibe for so long it would be a shame for that team to change drastically, but at this point I'm sure he's got some big options. Rocky is a pretty small company compared to some of the others, especially since they dumped their city and road lines to focus on mountain, and unless the other sponsors are footing the bill they may not have the budget to hold him long term. He's got to do him. I remember in the last couple seasons rocky re-upped the team so I wonder when...

Whomever releases an aftermarket link for this bike that provides 15mm more travel, a higher starting LR, and 10% more progression wins all the bike industry.

Looks like a....really sweet bike!

It would be a pretty big deal if he switched, IIRC he's been on Rocky since he was 16 or so, almost half his life...

A German website ran a rumours article where they stated that it is very likely that yt will re-enter both enduro and downhill with a factory team and that Moir has been associated with the enduro team. Also possibly Angel back to the yt DH team with commencal folding one of their teams. Other rumour was Martin Whiteley to return with a team. Likely Devinchi or Propain.

i have no idea if the jack rumor is true, but YT's race presence is virtually non-existent these days. check out our reader survey data from the last 10 years. in 2018, YT was one of the top bikes to buy for those intending on buying a new bike. over the years they've declined significantly. does lack of racing presence have anything to do with that? i realize there are PLENTY of other factors here, but some podiums and press may not hurt?

I believe Moir had a factory spot at Cannondale lined up to ride their new DH frame, then they bailed out of DH and left him high and dry. That's why he went "full enduro". He was usually around top 10 in DH, with a 2nd in Ft Bill being his best. Seems to like where he's at, but no idea on the $. His current mechanic is a former YT mob mechanic, so there could be some connection there.

thanks for explaining to me IG. I think you missed the point, linking to IG story posts force people to have IG to see what you are taking about and also anyone who does not see it in 24 hours of story being posted its gone forever.
