My girlfriend's sister's uncle's brother's dentist's cousin's lawyer's nanny told me aboot it It'll be a few more months till we see Boxxer and SID

It’s awesome that you pop in here and mingle with us speculative plebes!! Thank you Jesse and good luck this season!! Go fast and take chances!!

Saracen with a bag on their bike. That teams media presence is so poor they probably didn't even need to bother with the bag. Regardless, proto frame under there.

Am I seeing a void in the carbon layup in the right bottom part?

I really liked the Strive platform, the suspension really impressed me and I think the shapeshifter is cool for big days on the bike. BUT, having raced in Tasmania before I felt like the Spectral would be better suited for those rounds with it being more nimble, for me. With the long break after the first block I think I'll have plenty of time to get used to the Strive for the Euro rounds.

Or better yet, maybe they can actually supply the frames ordered…. Instead of releasing a new frame every month and not being able to deliver frames/bikes(at least here in Europe)

Oh the through-frame cable routing is made of carbon, well I guess that explains why they’re so much fucking money. Who cares?

Santa Cruz throwing some shade on their instagram. Any ideas which brand? If I had to guess I’d say nukeproof but it’s hard to say.

God, not only is the reservoir butted up against the handlebar, the hose points up as well, making it impossible to route the hoses normally if you're not batshit crazy and don't go for a through-headset routed bike. As for FR1500, DTs FR wheels never fit the naming conventions of the 1900, 1700, 1501 and 1200 series. The current FR wheelset is the 1950 and comes with Jbend hubs and spokes, unlike the rest of the factory wheelsets.

New Sram brakes spotted via specializedenduro team

Rock Shox must be dropping the new vivid air any day now, the latest Moi Moi TV covering shock testing has it right out there in the open. https://youtu.be/k8oD2GO_k9Y?t=510

New Specialized Enduro?

I believe it’s for a motion instruments data acquisition system. That’s how you mount their slider sensor to your fork. The sensor isn’t attached in the photo but you can see the other attachment point zip tied to the lower leg of the fork.

Funniest part is the new Epic-Caliber was supposed to be released last summer, but Specialized was sitting on so many current Epics they couldn't. The bike has been done for a long time, just sitting in the warehouse.

NZ National Results (Incl "Ghost Riders") https://www.sportsplits.com/races/torpedo-7-dhi-national-championships-… Greenland and Goldstone going to be a really fun combo this year. It's gotta be slightly frustrating for Laurie to get pipped twice in early season by Jackson but in races that don't matter much it may not be worth Laurie to pin it all the way. I don't know where we should start posting 2023 race results/commentary, maybe new thread but I am following whatever is out there. As everyone has said, I am also thoroughly excited for this season. I think if Goldstone can keep his head where it has been...

Jordan Williams with the first win among some big names today in Portugal Cup, Valli 8 seconds over Veronica Widman This season is going to be awesome, even more contenders for the win now with Jordan & Jackson

I imagine to ride their bikes and promote them if I was to just throw some guesses out...

And a woman on the support team! I think it was Emilie on Making Up the Numbers who made the awesome point that that helps pave the way for more ladies in racing/MTB too
