I heard it was supposed to come out a week ago, should be coming right away.

He's Canadian, that's a hockey puck.

Maybe they're running a tracking app showing their progress over the run?

Okay detectives. Who can get a positive ID on the lip pillows Remi is packing?

Thumbs up for the magazine. I miss print.

Does the Fox 38 coming with 200mm post mount mean that 203 rotors can finally die already? Please???

New FOX 38 is live! Here are all the details and some initial thoughts - https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/2027-fox-38-fork-tech-info-impressi… TLDR - The 38 gets the same revamp that FOX already gave its 36 and 40 models—new Glidecore air spring, revised Grip X2 damper, new generative-designed lowers with more pushing overlap, less torsional stiffness and more fore-and-aft stiffness; relocated bypass channels in the lowers, new bleeder valves, and new fender/mounting points. Also new 5cc volume spacers which is fun for tinkering, and PM200 rotor instead of PM180 like before. Bye bye brake adaptors. All the changes focus around improving the fork's ground feel and...

That did make me Lol..But I would bet $1000 usd to any and all takers that Specialized beats Norco to it. There are B riders already on them..

Genuine question, not trying to be facetious, what is the point of DVO? From my understanding they're under the same umbrella as Fox, so are they just supposed to be the more budget focused option within their organization?

Dealer just sent this out

notice in the race replay from TN national that dylan maples' pivot dropouts look custom/different (sorry, wish i had a better angle). edit - found this

lol it's a pivot
