I’d argue that might’ve worked effectively the first dozen times the bike industry did it, but not anymore. Unless what you’re hiding is truly unique, it actually does the opposite. People either see through it as a gimmick immediately, or are disappointed when the cover comes off and what is underneath is generic copied homework thus having the opposite effect just when the bike is actually about to go on sale.

I still think it’s really funny they are covering something which I can almost guarantee is a shock layout like the old Diamondback Knucklebox or a Propain. There is only so much you could package in there and whatever it is, it’s been done before and isn’t something that needs hiding.

Not a rumor. They bought MI, dumped a bunch of capital into helping them develop V2 and then pulled the plug a year ago as a cost saving measure. It was a whole.... thing.

Chatter on new designs releasing just makes people avoid buying the current models because they are waiting for the new ones to come out. The more they prolong releasing new bikes, the more other brands will scoop up that market share from the previous brand loyalists who didn't want to wait 6 years to buy their next enduro bike.

Specialized has had more chatter in not releasing new Enduro and DH than they would have had in releasing them. Keep delaying them it keeps the chatter speculation going.

Not a fan of the color but maybe it will look better built up Edit: unfunniest downvoters - please remember that humor exists

Some cool parts on Greg Minnaar Norco. Stills from @LoamWolf IG video

New Boxxer has integrated Ochain in the air spring.

I'd bet it's SRAM no doubt putting their twist on another Vorsprung product (Secus) Why innovate when you can copy a small manufacturers homework.

Looking forward to vehemently redirecting anything and everything to do with 32 in wheels to that thread in the future, despite all things 32 inch wheel still constituting rumours and innovation at this point.

begrudgingly, i've started a 32-inch wheel forum thread. not because i like the idea of them but because at crankworx, way too many people i talked to said they're not going away. https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/32-inch-wheels-and-mountain-bikes

They are selling the leftover OE spec product from their GasGas partnership.

DVO has some excited news today the exclusive Cone Valve technology from WP Suspension is now widely available for consumers comes stock on their Jade,Onyx and Topaz products. In the past the only way to get this was buying GasGas E-Bikes.

But it's modular now, you only have to replace the broken part not the whole derailleur. (Pay no attention to the fact that the individual replaceable parts are more expensive than an entire derailleur.)

Finally! A proper electronic DH rear derailleur. I've been wondering when we'd be able to pay $1500 to ruin three derailleurs on the same rock in one race weekend. Can't come fast enough.

Here’s me if they discontinue the original DHF

For inverted forks I clamp the stanchions in the bike stand and remove the bike.

Lower leg service --> brake bleed Thanks, but no thanks.

Screw that, I don't want to have to disconnect my brake hose just to mount it to a fork. I hate the internally routed rear enough.

Which is exactly the sticker they'd put on it if they wanted to deceive us about the real stanchion size...
