Looks like a different bike to me, straight top tube on this one?

New stealth Renthal cockpit found on build kit of the recently released Commencal V5 Meta.

Cranks look like something out of a Kinder surprise egg

Forty thousand shades of grey for the new GX, it's not gonna be pretty nor cheap. Oh well

Haha for sure, but it's a normal Float X2 - the piggyback is in front of the Kashima shaft which makes it look weird.

Holy seat tube angle Batman. I think it’s just an optical illusion but the shock looks really funky for some reason. Anyone else see that?

Haha I'm still not convinced! I have 3 sets of code RSC brakes. All of them have various scratches - one of them in particular has a scuff on the caliper that has scraped off the top layer of paint, it then goes down to a more matt coloured black then through to the silver coloured alloy. This wouldn't happen with anodising? The levers are almost certainly painted - anodising doesn't chip in the same way as paint. My RSC levers have chips that can only happen with paint. The reservoir cap is 100% painted since the dot fluid has...

Thanks I was wondering how someone got caught in that lil yellow mesh tape for the course. The big nets yeah there are not designed to be easy to get out of but to save you from major injuries or death. I am pretty sure no one has ever said I wish that net wasn’t there.

Off topic but does anyone else find this pair’s particular brand of youtubey influencer absolutely unbearable?

That's the old Pon Holdings V10

No.

Yeah. The Radical+

File the “backsweep” topic right next to the “should your handlebars be the same height as your seat when it’s fully extended” topic. These are not tech rumors. These are subjective, personal preference, opinions based on anecdotal evidence. Enough.

Uh oh, we're verging on "Backsweep Rumors and Innovation."

Didn't someone snap a Gambler a week or two ago?

Woof…Spoke too soon hope Roger’s alright after that. Bummed that happened to him, seems like a great dude trying his butt off to make it to the top.

Ummm… check the other site.

same CS on all sizes is a big no no for me, but finally a beautifull ibis at least

Agreed. We've been in the era of every new bike MUST be mixed-wheeled or mixed-compatible, and I am a much bigger fan of the latter. A mixed setup has its benefits, especially for riders with shorter inseams, but it by no means is a necessity to create a well-performing bike.
