First of many to confirm the move away from racing

Can we get back to the topic?

My god stop posting u less it’s a tech rumor

Spent some time on the Optic, love it, really wanted one, looking forward to the HP version. Spent a weekend on a Fluid, wasnt the same, tried my hardest to like it, wasnt for me. The Sight felt like a much better bike.

Heres my take on it, if youre building a short travel bike, thats not intended primarily for XC riding/racing, a HP makes a tonne of sense. You still get the added benefit of a "platform" earlier in the travel, which can feel more sprightly and responsive, but with additional bump eating capabilities. Case in point would be the Forbiedden Druid past and present. There is a portion of riders who arent interested in the steepest and deepest, but still ride hard enough on chundery trails that this makes sense. It also allows you to more accurately separate braking and body...

The carbon Fluid slots into replace the Optic. But don't worry if you love the current Optic and just want another one of them I'd guess they have stock of them to keep on selling. Everyone has overstock to sell.

why are people, in general, afraid of high-pivots? don't like it, don't buy a norco? there's literally hundreds of options nowadays with pretty much the same geometry

That’s a really short seattube…

Looks like a WTB verdict

Solid find, first post, and welcome. Definitely a good looking tire for loose conditions

I actually created an account just to post this. Santa Cruz syndicate tent at Les Gets last weekend.

heckler SL is on homepage and canyon sent this PR about their innovation facility https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/new-canyon-innovation-lab-u…

Specialized new product launch tomorrow. Someone has told be 3 new bikes, but wouldn't say if that's different models.

That crank has been in the "wild" for awhile... Greg 2020 V-10 from Lousa WC

Looks like a new rocker paddle coming from SRAM for the latest AXS pod.

The aforementioned knolly up top. Looks a bit less ugly.
