I think you’re wrong. There’s nothing they should share. The tr-11 has a straight head tube the bottle rocket doesn’t. The bottle rocket should be crazy progressive (the way the current tr-11 is like 41% or something stupid lol) am not sure on the progression for the bottle rocket but tr-11 won’t be this crazy progressive this time. The chainstays...

Yes. This pic was leaked pages back and clearly that bike doesn’t have a splatter paint job plus a larger 29 front wheel. I’m also seeing a straight head tube not tapered like on the bottle rocket. Plus the marketing team would flip out as cash- eee-ma isn’t freeride core lol. Here’s the tr-11 as seen here

I can't tell if the damper is the same as last years gripx2 or a different version of the current gripx2. Very confusing. Glidecore airspring is a nice though. Been a fan of it on my 36.

I'm here to defend (good) trail associations. I was the first Executive Director of Evergreen MTB Alliance in WA State in the early 00's and then on the exec committee of the board for another 10 years. We (both paid crews and volunteers) built tons of tech trails, and yeah a lot of flow trails and jump lines for the masses. I think a good balance between the styles. Behind the scenes we fought HARD to keep open the unsanctioned areas - areas I rode and may or may not have spent countless hours digging at Smile That fight wasn't...

It doesn't seem that low. New Spur has 39mm drop in high and 47 in low. Epic 8 evo also has it around 40 in low. Maybe they also spec 165mm cranks because they are focused on the downhill vs just being a quick climbing xc bike. At least for this bike, probably want to keep the bike light, so no adjustable chainstay.
