Very curious to see the reviews on the mech transmission. Specifically, how much of the “amazing shifting under load” is really due to the firmware rate limiting the shifts, vs the actual cassette design (Ofc if the system prevents you from dumping gears in a bad place or otherwise shifting like an idiot then the shifting will appear to be better…). Also more curiosity than ever to try and run the direct mount derailleur with a shimano hyperglide chain and cassette….probably need to swap the jockey wheels but otherwise it should work?

There is a Float X Genie, also limited to Specialized for now.

Not sure it has been talked about before but listening to Needles podcast with Sam Blenkinsop and he said Fox was working on a gearbox. Could be an interesting addition to the market.

Looks like someone broke the news a little early

They want you to buy the entire fork, not just the $100 part that makes the biggest performance difference.

The new X2 air can looks very similar to the SJ15 Genie. Wonder if there’s anything similar going on inside or just new similar architecture.

At the request of Fox, we have edited this post which contained leaked pictures featuring embargoed product. - site admins

How has nobody mentioned the 32x2.4" Maxxis Aspen tires at Taipei Bike Show? As a 6'2" dude, I would absolutely try a 32er. Or if nothing else, a 32/29 mullet.

Here are some better pictures from the latest promo video that were posted in the Ari group. The riders in the video confirmed its a Timp Peak, so it must be the new Timp. Looks like a Bosch CX or SRAM Powertrain - Hopefully the former! Thankfully, the downtube girth indicates at least an 800 WH battery. Down with the 600 WH trend!

Looks like the 2026 Turbo Levo is set to release on April 8th.

Rivian spins out a new micromobility startup called Also with $105M from Eclipse The motor/ebike wars are just getting started. Can't wait to put my $15k+ Rivian ebike in the bed of my $100k Rivian and drive around Los Gatos giving acknowledging head nods to my fellow rich people.

Some mixed responses here. I called Fox sales this morning and they also said they were not backwards compatible. Then someone on pinkbike commented that they work for Fox and say that they are.

...and wonder if you can throw this air spring in the previous gen 36's?

I'm just looking forward to getting an "old, completely unusable" 2024 Fox 34 for cheap when everyone upgrades to one of the new 36s. I have a Pike Ultimate and Super Deluxe Ultimate on my short travel trail bike and I'd love to try the Fox "equivalents" out of curiosity. I'd also love to try some Ohlins versions, too, but my bike is never specced with Ohlins and seems to require an outside-of-standard tune to make the shock and frame agree.

interesting that the 36 and 36SL are effectively different forks.

Revel looks to have a new bike dropping tomorrow, as well as updated colorways for the Rascal. The 27.5 Rail is no longer on their site so maybe this is a new mullet 165mm travel enduro bike. Blurry image looks mullet and rear shock has a piggyback.
