12/15/2025 10:16am So far it feels like the old thread is the tech rumours thread and this one is tech rumours shitposting (which I am here for). I suspect that'll change whenever the lock itself comes. Kudos to those trying to post serious discussion in the new thread so far!

It was what they created themselves used when that last gen of Fox RPC was first released. I think it was for a couple years before being bought out and swapped to MIPS. Let me see what I can find. here Is this for starters https://www.pinkbike.com/news/mips-acquires-fluid-inside-rotational-imp…

Rode my Hightower V2 three seasons in the bike park. Had a great time. Keep hearing “there’s nothing like riding a downhill bike”. I believed the hype and bought a V10.8 in 2024. They were right.

12/11/2025 11:33am I think the French DH riders have it right when they just describe everything as either a DH bike or a trail bike. It's wild to me that people are thinking 150mm bikes are trail bikes now. I should be a bit more French.

12/11/2025 9:53am Man if there was ever a guy who I'd believe bought shit designed and priced for companies in the S&P 500 for his little bike brand, it would be Markus. I am not inclined to believe it was the "new investors" steering the ship on that one.

it wasn't a serious question. i know they'll never get paid back. here's another question. didn't markus blame other brands for a price "race to the bottom" as a reason YT cratered last time? starting off 2.0 with a bang.

Oh Spomer... those contracts were with the old YT company run by old YT CEO Markus. New YT company CEO Markus has no idea what you're talking about.

The previous gen Sight is about perfect balance of travel along with light yet burly. There were, and still are a ton of those being ridden on the Shore. With talk of the mid class bike making a comeback do we see the option for a 170mm Lyrik and 36 return?

12/5/2025 9:01am It would have been funnier if you posted a bike Tim designed and called it uncool, just to mess with him. Oh well.

12/3/2025 3:07pm The decision to lock the other thread has spawned a successor which we will quickly grow to dozens if not hundreds of pages in addition to a slew of low-quality posts (I am not innocent here, admittedly) on both the old thread and the new one. Ironically, this has taxed forum resources even more.
