Opinions are like assholes. Neither one belongs in tech rumors.

I think that's in line with the Olympics, Taiwan = Chinese Taipei. Whereas Hong Kong and Macau compete as such in name, but if they win a gold medal, the Chinese national anthem is played. I am guessing Taiwan has its own anthem played if it wins gold.

What is the new progressive geo that small brands are doing? There’s a lot of interesting stuff small brands make but geo genuinely seems to have found a relative figured out equilibrium.

sorry, i stand corrected... it's even 1300€ msrp with taxes in europe LOL

Have we reached a plateau in geometry now? Updates that are called huge = changes that are actually 1/2degree or 3-4mm different. Given how bad the 2nd hand market is right now who is going to take the hit upgrading their bike for very marginal differences. If you were in the market for a 150mm trail bike would take a V4 Bronson/Previous gen Stuntjumper for 30-40% off or pay full whack for a current one?

100% Agree. Imagine walking into your local bike shop wanting to update your aging mondraker enduro bike. - Hello, I'm looking for a new enduro bike. - Ah yes, take a look at this Foxy. - No, sorry I must not have been clear, I want an enduro bike, like 160mm of travel, not a trail bike. -Foxy it is! Oh well, we call it the superfoxy now and it is 170/160mm. -Oh ok, sorry I didn't keep up with the name changes, but can I still get a Dune? -Of course sir, right this way, 170/165mm hard hitter, beautiful...

Maybe someone could make a thread specifically for tech rumors so we don't derail this suspension kinematic thread?

Friend saw the new Hightower from a dealer person. No info on geo, only the change around shock position as reported with a change to how frame is wrapped around. I believe same is happening to Bronson too. (Not) Surprisingly Mega and Nomad got a new color scheme so I guess more piles of frames they sit on before pushing any new updates onto market.

Well mr Ham n cheez…. we’ll need to start with the basics first…… are you familiar with the story about the birds and bees?

They just need to make enduro casing supper soft compound and all the other brands will be dead ......

They came out in sympathy with Europeans and decided to subsidise us when they saw the prices for Fox suspension this side of the pond. 😄

Still, all these comments on prices are dumb af The Tacky on the same website was around 60 when it was a new thing, and the current price is already down, wait a bit and the Albert will be sub 50€ like always

With the addition of sealant it should be plenty damp in there.

I think this is a significant underestimate of Trek's market share and a significant overestimate of the average buyer's wherewithal when it comes to making informed purchases, even at the high end.
