Its micro marketing and not meant to be a global marketing campaign i would guess. Clearly doesnt move the needle as much as lets say sponsoring an athlete like vali, but will probably also just cost a fraction. I have no clue, but could be that trp doesnt sell as good in germany, hence give a guy from germany a couple of the brakes and he might help sales there. This guy is well known around here, but not only because he does youtube. I have seen him doing comunity stuff like shaping dirtjumps in free acces areas with local...

Charge port placement, not good for anyone outside of Arizona because water. Cheesy name for an adjustable seat tube? Come on. 9k for a base model but that wasn't surprising was it? Same CS length across the sizes, bandaided with an adjustable drop out. Fox trying to get rid of the podiums that aren't selling? Cant wait for these to be in the way on the trails. Ridden by people who have no business riding anything but the canal path.

German speaking hemisphere? We managed to stop that a while ago.

Just like my Bullit. Looks like plenty of room for a motor and battery. I'll die on the hill that the DJI Santa Cruz ebikes need to be VPP.

My biggest wishlist item is that the new Nomad is dual crown compatible since I ride a lot of bike park but the parks around here aren’t necessarily gnarly enough to justify a v10. What I find most interesting is that when Santa Cruz updated the Hightower and Bronson they sunk the shock down even further into the frame to reduce anti squat. This photo appears to have shock even higher than the current Nomad.

Apart from eventual enshittification motives, why would they do that? The Bronson rides like a dream and is IMO one of the most versatile frames on the market right now. It is a joy to work on and doesn't use any proprietary of shitty standards. What would we get from a horst link layout?

That's been my experience too. Patrol frame had huge clunk in it right out of the box that was fixed by taking out and greasing all pivot bolts. To be fair it's not needed any attention in the 4 park seasons since, but still if I'm spending $2,400 for an alloy frame it needs to be perfect. Feels very catalogue comparing it to Ibis, SC, Spesh. Their frames would be fairly valued at $2k for alloy and $3k for carbon. Just like Norco I audibly laughed when I saw they were asking $4k for a frame. (both of those companies...

Soooooo, anyone got any rumors or should we rename the thread to "Hot takes and arguing"...?

This guy is so far up his own ass that he prob used his bush resizing tool to make stools slide out without any friction

I think it’s interesting Reece is pushing all of the novel ideas now, but when he was winning races he was on a typical cockpit setup.

That guy continues to strive for the asshole of the year award. Any validity of his opinion has been removed by that kneepad/short gap and that’s even before we talk about his “low IQ” dismissal of everyone who dares to disagree with him 😂
