I would imagine the S200 will be marketed as a park/DH bike while the carbon will be the full on race bike. The gear box bike, if it sees production, would probably be offered as a second option or completely replace the carbon bike currently. Their manufacturing method sounds pretty lean which lets them be flexible. They don’t have molds for carbon frames that they are hoping to get X number of frames out of.

But can you stand on it?

Just to give Quick response to those wondering about how trek plans to sell these top level bikes at the advertised price. As someone who works at a shop that sells Trek bikes. If you like you can go through online tutorials program called TrekU and once you have completed enough modules, you are awarded employee pricing where you are able to buy bikes at 30% off cost. I assure you these top level bikes are built to bait newer staff of trek dealers to buy what looks to be an incredible deal. They have no intentions to sell these...

I see your size-specific chainstay lengths and raise you – size-specific wheelsizes! 24" XS, 26" S, 27.5" M, 29" L, and 32" XL.

Bring 27.5 back for the 1SD around the mean.

Cool app. Did you build this?

The other site had a 'blind' tyre test video where they compare all the Assegai type tyres, the Kenda did better than they and I expected.

Here's a Slayer prototype frame built in 2018 IIRC. I have another example of an earlier prototype built with a chip that allowed a low or mid-height main pivot. I'll have to fire up my external drive (cough I'm old..) to get a photo.

HEALING VIBES to Erice! Consequences are heavy out there for sure.

For racing, it's never really the bike, it's the rider and feeling comfortable on the bike. People win without drivetrains, on dry tires in the mud etc. Roczen is kicking ass on a 10 year old Suzuki with a Kickstarter... None of that has anything to do with what's an improvement mechanically though.

Brand new open bath technology. Comes with the air already mixed with oil in a patented "OIR" blend so you don't need to worry about pesky seals and stuff.

I can hear it squelching already.
