Another small manufacturer that don't tend to market themselves internationally inspite of their name is "Suspension Tech International" from Rotorua NZ. https://suspensiontech.com/rearshock/

They dont really market themselves outside of France, but Novyparts https://www.novyparts.com/novya-amortisseur-suspension-vtt-novyparts/no…

More fuel to that fire...

that stinks! was excited to see what they might come up with!

Apparently they dropped the project. Heard that from a big suspension designer in Automotive…

DYAD on the Jekyll, Claymore and Trigger. I had a Claymore that I really liked, super fun bike. I would totally buy another if it came up, but I would also make sure to buy a spare DYAD to go with it - pretty sure no one services them anymore.

For the record I think they’re making extremely smart decisions. But by playing it so safe and hitting everything down the middle they are losing a little bit of their edge (and I mean attitude edge not business edge…) the Levo R doesn’t excite us but I’ll be damned if that doesn’t become a ubiquitous sight at low-grade trailheads and greenways around the world

I am betting its the bilstein shock we saw a while ago (Pic borrowed from P

Heard that RMU, a ski company with shops in Truckee, whis, and breck, are launching an aluminum, DW designed all mountain bike (170 fork) that apparently pedals quite well. There’s likely to be a 140 version to follow, and potentially ebikes to follow that. Made in Taiwan. Should drop in March, curious if they’ll be at sea otter with it. Could it be this thing?

I don't think there's any way how you could reasonably argue that anything in Specialized's current line-up is a "dud". On the contrary, everything they released within the last couple of years has been very well received. The Epic is considered to be the de-facto benchmark in its category - even by other manufacturers. The Stumpy 15 has won multiple bike-of-the-year awards and basically every reviewer loved it. The Chisel is basically the only actually good and worthwhile budget XC bike on the market. The road bikes are all considered to be top notch, so is the Diverge gravel bike...

Just noticed the ShockWiz page no longer has a product on it, are SRAM killing it as a standalone device? https://www.sram.com/en/quarq/series/shockwiz/shockwiz?filters=&sort=Re… You can still buy parts tho: https://www.sram.com/en/search?t=shockwiz

The Ronald McDonald kit is… interesting.

Anyone have spy shots of the inverted cane creek

push air shock?

These beauties were in the shop I worked at in 2005.....they have not don't much to change my opinion of them since!

Scott used a similar setup on first gen and overall early Genius models (two distinct shock generations). I think it was the second gen that required crazy high pressures. Cannondales variant was named DYAD.

There was a nice shot of it earlier in this thread:

Looks like the new Vivid air with all same changes as vivid coil(externally at least) exists. But just wasn't launched for some reason?
