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.

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.
