Well, the name Bike Yoke kind of already answers your question, doesn't it? 😉 We want to honour our roots, so we stuck with the name, although we are more known for other things now. The Yoke for Specialized bikes was our first product. I had previously been with Bionicon, yes. I was there from 2010-2018 as suspension and frame designer. For Bionicon I had used the 90° rotated eyelet already to create a shock extension and then we used the same idea to allow the use of normal shocks on Specialized bikes.

I posted the Korean market prices a few pages back. We are only getting the top builds, so these are the only prices I know. Based on today's exchange rate, these numbers line up pretty close to the price of the Pivot Phoenix. $4800 for the frame + I believe a crank, $10k-ish S-Works - SRAM build $11.8k-ish Team Replica - Ohlins, Brembo, SRAM

If you hate all their other new stuff and how much it costs, just wait until you see the pricing on that new Demo... it's not going to be nice. Soon, you'll be able to buy a new vehicle and live like you did when you were 20 and your bike was 3x more expensive than your car. Maybe they'll roll out a subscription service for the suspension system Loic is running. Every bike will come equipped with it, but you have to pay for every level of adjustment. I'm also sorry if I put a thought in a product...

For both brands, you should always buy the most expensive chain they sell, so XX and XTR as the harder coatings on them often double to triple the usage you can get out of them, more than offsetting the cost increase. Zero friction cycling has the data, but XX flat top chains in particular are the cheapest chain per mile you will find.

I think their Mach 4 XC bike has a Sid Ultimate spec. That seems to be a pretty common thing, offering Rockshox stuff on an XC bike even if most of your line is specced with Fox. I've seen it from a few companies (the one that sticks out in my mind is Yeti - though they offered a Rockshox-specced SB120 Lunch Ride for a few years but have since gone back completely to Fox aside from their ASR). But XC bikes are kind of a different thing. I also think this is the first time Pivot has offered Rockshox...

2 chainz ain't cheap! The numbers I heard here, subject to change on landing, were roughly $4800 for the frame + I believe a crank, $10k-ish for the S-Works , and $11.8k for the Team Replica. I wonder how many lower-tier offerings they'll have. GX DH on an $8k bike?

People get angry with you because you ignore other people's opinions. Go watch moimoi test the frameworks enduro bike, discover it's less flickable than he expects, then discover later on that the chainstay is long and that's what he was feeling. It has always meant something that's less stable, more dynamic, more bmxy, and it's weird AF to pretend that those qualities in a bike don't exist or that you can't attribute a lot of that behaviour to a shorter stay.
