The shock pictured is not a 2026.

This new 36 SL is interesting. It has a rumored weight of 1795g (29″ 140 Grip X) which is similar to the previous gen Fox 34. Apparently it is optimized for 120 to 140 mm of travel which could land it on beefed up downcountry rigs and short travel trail bikes. If the weight is similar then what would happen to the non-SL 34? I've been using a 34 GRIP2 on a previous downcountry rig which now it lives on a 140mm trail bike. This 36 SL would be a pretty sweet upgrade.

The holes increase airflow around the stanchion, aiding cooling and improving damping consistency by 11%. As a side note, 80% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Wonder if they’ll release the new Float X2 at the same time as the 36? Pretty finished article on Matt Walker’s pivot - he’d covered this shock up with a pivot cycles tag in an insta story earlier this week

That would be good, using the bleeder screws was a stoooooooopid idea!

how did everyone miss the most important release of the year!? https://www.giant-bicycles.com/global/pre-rcarbon

it is 200mm

They announced these same products at Sea Otter last year, promising them "soon." The Range Extender has been promised since launch and is still MIA. Their pace of release is really frustrating for Fazua 60 owners - they make Shimano look rapid!

Sure, people like to root for the underdog, for the kid who came from nothing (or worse than nothing) and overcame all that. And there's a lot to be said about people who just don't excel at school but are otherwise intelligent, hard-working, caring, or any other positive character trait you want. We like those stories because they are rare. A race team is a business, and that means team managers are looking for people who have a high chance of meeting their goals. Having a high GPA (which is one of the few ways someone this age can show...

Gravity is my sport too man. Not trying to bash you. EWS pits are devoid of revenue opportunities for the event organizers. Couple hundred bros trackside isn't profit for a promoter. Local tourism bureau is about the only group who sees potential income improvement from hosting these things. They tie up a vast amount of land, require tons of volunteer & staff to function & nobody buying pit space is making a profit either. https://youtu.be/MclbQl9mGiM?si=XpU3-ZhMN0Un8Li6 I want you guys to succeed as much as the next fanboi. But the people needing to justify the budgets aren't being impressed. Maybe it...

not gonna lie they look slick like this arch more than the round one on the previous gen but it might just be new and shiny syndrome

My buddy who works at the local specialized dealer couldn’t hang this weekend because he to build a bunch of new e-bikes…

2026 Unno Mith with DJI Avinox drive system. They're hiding the motor area in all of their pictures, but the top tube display is DJI.

Haven’t seen this yet, but Matt Beers’ cape epic bike has srams’ mineral oil “motive” brakes on it.

New XTR is in the also in the Video from FOX Orbea Factory Team tests the New 34 SL at 1:12 min. Also the new brake levers are in there sometimes

If it is anything like replacing the TQ screen it takes about 3 min and zero skill. I would be surprised if it is much different.

I can hear 2nd place's collarbone snapping as Bootes trucks them in the final turn. Watched that guy just nuke people off virtually every NORBA National course he ever rode over the years.

Bitchin seeing some 3x action! Making advancing rounds the race for 2nd, instead of the race for the first corner might help to get rid of the holeshot/block to the finish racing that plagued most dual and 4x tracks.
