LX? Nah, this is giving Alivio vibes.

I just saw the new Altitude and I wish I could say more but I cant. All I will say is I was shock in the direction they have gone in a good way. It'll be a very interesting bike and I haven't seen a correct rumor about it yet. Stay thirsty my friends.....

or it might be a special sram dot 5.099 fluid which they made green in appreciation of the tech rumors thread

The main point here is definitely to do single shifts only. With normal mechanical shifters you were able to shift up to 5 gears at one push. This would be way to fast to synchronise the chain and the cassette and you would end up with the chain being mismatched with the narrow-wide teeth. Shimano introduced mechanical linkglide xt two years ago, it does almost the same thing as transmission, it uses a stronger narrow-wide teeth profil and more pronounced shift ramps to make sure each shift is perfectly synchronised. The matching mechanical shifter is an "E-Bike" shifter, that only...

Any info on these burgtec grips on Ratboys bike from hardline? Sig grip?

Lapierre called they want their bike back

Is this fork compatible with slow riders?

Dude calm down. It's all just bikes. Most of us will probably look at the content on boths sites anyways. Besides, even vital mtb staff occasionally reposts PB photos here.

Go easy boss, its just a bunch of non-sense mountain cycle stuff.

you vital super sleuths have just won the MTB tech rumors world championships with this bolt. Don't Post to Vital t-shirts coming soon.

From the other site. Someone at Sram is having a chuckle

Saw a promo for the new 13s XTR today. Must be around the corner…

Weird that NSMB posts their Gnarvana review today...

The Vitus prototype is currently on the other side of the Atlantic!

Bit of a random one, but curious what’s going on with Brendog… No Fox logos on the fork, not tagging them. Also seems to have picked up Pirelli as a sponsor recently and Sram not so long ago. Wonder if he’ll be on different suspension next?

Ratty on formula?

it is my educated opinion, after looking at the photos, overlaying in linkage, assessing & comparing the kinematics with my extensive catalogue of images of Sam Hill, numerous CAD reverse engineering and plugging the outputs into my google supercomputer I have come to the conclusion that BIKE LOOKS FUCKIN SICK!

RE Intense and that boat piece they've been modifying and working on for over a year. All of that to put the shock right there when they can achieve all the same kinematics by just copying the current Demo or Sender. Or even do it like the new Madison Saracen proto. So much work and time trying to make that piece with CNC, drilling it out to make it lighter, now 3D printing it. I appreciate them trying to make something unique, but the Kinematics are achievable with far less faff, time and money. If they keep that design it's...

Pretty big departure from the catalog frame. The numbers are almost certainly quite different from geo perspective I’d imagine the kinematics are as well. maybe a certain former vital staff member can spill some beans.
