There are some pics floating around... Bronson "V4.1" has a glovebox and looks like a sag window like the new Hiightower V3 as well.

Has there been much (if any?) discussion about this prototype Nukeproof? It's not the Dissent currently shown on NP's website, although the linkages are very similar to both the current Dissent and the Giga. Beautiful colour too.

thats the adjusters on the X2... its mounted upside down...

There are probably around 10 brands of full face manufacturers, certainly not 10 manufacturer though. All come out of China, from probably 2 or 3 sub-contractors, with margins as fat as it can be considering the premium some of these brands dare charging us for mostly subpar finish and durability.

That's a GT

DHRIII

What if there was already a place to argue about reach length and wheelbase? https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/How-Much-Reach-is-Too-Much-Re…

Adrien Daily is riding an Antidote Darkmatter on these pictures, I guess he was free to ride any competitor DH bike since Lapierre is no longer producing DH bikes.

In the end yeah, it looks rather nice and "beasty". But I wonder, the "leverage effect" looks really "flat", I don't know how to say, pivots look almost aligned, isn't there a point where with a too big hit the axle will move up and pull rhe rocker instead of pushing it and shear the rear of the bike ?

It looks like the change in the geo chart might be purely because they now assume a Fox 38 rather than a 2020 Fox 36.

to be fair the kinematics of the pivot dh bikes have not been similar to what most brands are doing for their dh frames and not in a good way most of the time. The pivot Phoenix has a leverage ratio that changes more frequently than the more preferred "linearly progressive" designs as Neko calls it where the leverage is progressive but in a straight line as opposed to curving. the curve makes shock tuning slightly more difficult. controlling the kinematics on two very short links is a challenge which is why most companies opt for longer link designs like...

Assymetric tyres look so weird!

I would say this is a very long time coming. They got their 27.5 TX spot on but always make the 29ers so dull.

What a typo with the name :D I think he mentioned in one of the episodes that it's 240? Or somewhere else maybe? Can't find it to be honest.

Literally two posts apart: "but at least it is better looking than the M29." "Shame, since that Cero m29 was one of the best looking bikes of the last 10 years" Beauty is in the eye of the bee holder, or something like that I guess.

Nice catch on the TFR new idler setup! Also, concerning the intense, the main pivot is quite high but that is not the only factor determining the axle path, given it is an horst frame. Also, how much mud can collect in that downtube😬?

Surprised no one has noticed some tweaks to the session the TFR team is on. The idler is now in plain sight, and no longer has the chain stay on both sides. Hopefully this will fix some of the chain drop issues! Speaking of chains dropping, apparently under hard riding, the Jekyll is horrible in the chain retention department. Mitch dropped a chain at the Ironton BME resulting in a DNF. Wonder if anyone has thought to put a full lower guide on?

What's the Trek in the background? Link looks like a Slash, but the top tube/seat tube junction seems different from the current Slash and Remedy. I'm probably overthinking this, but there is a pretty decent hole in Trek's lineup between the 160mm Slash and 200mm Session; seems fit for a 'super enduro' or park model.
